  1. Got my ATT

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

    Parkland College in IL. I did everything I needed to do. It wouldn't surprise me too much if my program director didn't get everything sent out in a timely

  2. Got my ATT

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

    I'm jealous. I graduated May 16, but I still haven't received my ATT. I just want to get it scheduled so there is a light at the end of this tunnel (NCLEX

  3. How did you decide NICU is the right place?

    NFB2008 replied to blindlittlebear's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    For me, I just knew. When I was there for clinical (one time), I loved it. I feel like these little babies need nurses who really pay attention to detail and notice that one little thing that is...

  4. Contemplating whether to become RN . . . .

    NFB2008 replied to proudmomof3's topic in General Nursing

    Well said. I definitely think you have to really want to be a nurse to even make it through school. If you don't love nursing and want it more than anything, you won't put up with all of the stress...

  5. Contemplating whether to become RN . . . .

    NFB2008 replied to proudmomof3's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many other areas of nursing. And not everyone likes the same things. That's one of the good things about nursing. I don't like geriatrics either so I got a job in the NICU. There's...

  6. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    NFB2008 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    Yes... I think that is the creepiest one so

  7. Crying at pinning...

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

    A couple of my classmates said they cried as well, but I was in the front row and didn't see them... I think I started the trend! I'm worried about the NCLEX just because that's what I do. My worry...

  8. NCLEX quick result

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

    Thanks everyone! I feel much better

  9. NCLEX quick result

    NFB2008 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just graduated last week, and when I registered with Pearson Vue for the NCLEX I didn't see anything where I could pay extra for quick results. Do I pay for this later? Help! I won't be able to take...

  10. NCLEX quick result

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

    I'm in Illinois, and I've heard that we have that option here. I have not received my ATT yet. I thought maybe it was something I was supposed to sign up for when I registered with Pearson

  11. Preceptor Training

    NFB2008 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree. We learn the black and white, textbook areas of nursing in school. We need someone to teach us about real world

  12. what are these people thinking???

    NFB2008 replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    I hate that. On the floor where I had my last clinical, the nurses' break room was connected to the nurses' station--no door, no wall, nothing. They finally put up a wall during my clinicals there and...

  13. Preceptor Training

    NFB2008 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you would really love to be a preceptor. That is part of what makes a nurse good at that. I can only hope that when I start my first nursing job in June that my preceptor wants to be...

  14. NClEX day from hell...

    NFB2008 replied to Nurse122705's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It sounds like you had a terrible day, but it seems like you were confident (before all of the traumatic events) that you knew your stuff. I doubt you forgot everything even in the midst of all

  15. I'm graduating

    NFB2008 replied to GeorgiaPeach2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had my pinning ceremony yesterday! I can't believe it's over. I can't believe that I don't have to study for any tests--I mean, other than the

  16. I'm graduating

    NFB2008 replied to GeorgiaPeach2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I passed my nursing finals this week as well and will be graduating

  17. I want her fired!!!!

    NFB2008 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I don't either. That was my

  18. Can a female have a reaction to a depo shot?

    NFB2008 replied to barefootlady's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know I'm weighing in on this a little late, but I had some bad times with Depo. I was on it for a year and was very emotional during that time (lots of ups & downs, mood swings, getting mad or...

  19. I want her fired!!!!

    NFB2008 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    If the family saw her using the same, dirty washcloth on her, why did they let her? And they really shouldn't have seen the CNA washing the roommate since the curtain should be drawn... unless they...

  20. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    NFB2008 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    I had a clinical rotation in the ER recently. The nurse I was with told me about a guy who came in with a remote control in his rectum. Apparently he was a "frequent flyer" and always had something in...

  22. I got a level 1 on ATI, feeling bummed....

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

    We take ATIs at our school too, and if it makes you feel better, many graduates who have since taken and passed NCLEX say that ATI is way harder than NCLEX. They also say it isn't really anything like...

  23. New student, need an idea...

    NFB2008 replied to sukihb21's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's closer to 6

  24. New student, need an idea...

    NFB2008 replied to sukihb21's topic in General Nursing

    I did my nursing program in 2 years. It is hard to do that, but it can be done. Some people do a year of pre-reqs first and then do the 2-year

  25. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    NFB2008 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    i have to say after reading all of these posts, I have not had so many issues with other nursing students. Most of the students I know are very supportive and take responsibility for themselves--so to...
