  1. New Grad RN, can I work NICU?

    NFB2008 replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I just graduated in May and got a position in a NICU. I think it really depends on where you are. I think this time of year it's going to be very competitive in nursing just because so many new nurses...

  4. did anyone recieve a hospital scholarship while in nursing school?

    NFB2008 replied to 2bManNurse1017's topic in General Nursing

    I got a total of $5000 while in school. They gave $2500 each time, and you could only apply twice. If you applied the second time, you could not receive your check until 1 year after the first one...

    NFB2008 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    NFB2008 replied to sbottoms's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When I interviewed in the NICU, I thought it went great. I left there feeling so confident. I really felt like I had to get hired after that amazing interview, but I woke up the next day feeling...

    NFB2008 replied to orchids8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I keep freaking out about all of the people saying how many SATA questions they got out of 75 questions! On the other hand, I had multiple teachers through nursing school say that 15 of the questions...

  9. resident programs?

    NFB2008 replied to crane's topic in First Year After Licensure

    At the hospital I got hired on at, they have a new nurse residency program. It lasts 9 months I think. They have only gone through one cycle of it so far, and I heard they have gotten a lot of...

    NFB2008 replied to danger's topic in Emergency

    At the hospital where I had most of my clinicals, they just pretty recently started allowing blood to be run with morphine PCA. This has been within the last year, I think. And it's only morphine that...

  17. Obama assists at St. Louis hospital

    NFB2008 replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Hillary Clinton did the same thing. I don't think that means what he did isn't a good thing. Just because she did it first doesn't mean he shouldn't do it too. Granted, 90 minutes isn't a very...

  23. The Great "Nursing Show" Discussion

    NFB2008 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand what you're saying, but I always get the feeling that people don't realize how smart nurses are. Then if a person knows you're a really smart person, they say, "why don't/didn't...

  24. The Great "Nursing Show" Discussion

    NFB2008 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I think that a couple of those Ps don't need as much focus as other things. I seem to get the jokes about bedpans and stuff like that because so many people assume that's all nurses do. I know it can...

    NFB2008 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No one else received their ATT letters yet either. I just happen to know that the program director is a little slow about getting things done. I'm just anxiously awaiting
