  1. June 2008 NCLEX support group

    LadyTiger44 replied to IamRN08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Suzanne's method is on a sticky. For labs I am memorizing pretty much the same things minus clotting (those I can figure out). Sounds like you are on the right track to me! The only thing that...

  2. New Nursing Recruiter..are you crazy???

    LadyTiger44 replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    Do you really want to hear back from them though? It doesn't really sound like they have their stuff together, so I am not really sure if I would want to work there; I guess it would just depend. It...

  3. What do you wish someone would have told you on your first nursing job?

    LadyTiger44 replied to KourtneiNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a new grad and about to start my first job so I look forward to what people have to say. A great book I found that has some good tips is Your 1st Year as a Nurse by Donna Wilk Cardillo, RN....

  5. Question about overworked and underpayed

    LadyTiger44 replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    The sad thing about nursing is that most of the time all you hear about is the bad, not the good. For every positive experience there are five negative experiences to counteract that. I am a new...

    LadyTiger44 replied to ctunurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    At IU as a graduate nurse I am going to be getting paid $21.75. From 7p-11p its $3.50 more, and 11p-7a, its $4.00 more and on the weekends $5.00 more. We don't get a raise if we pass the boards; if...

    LadyTiger44 replied to Surfer3406's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad, as of a few weeks ago. I have not started my new job yet but all through school I worked in restaurants. I feel that it will help me because of the reasons you stated. Both...

  8. What overwhelms you the most? What did NS NOT prepare you for?

    LadyTiger44 replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am also a new grad and mastering skills has held high anxiety for me. I thought the school I went to was great, but there are basic skills that I have not done. I start my new job on the 27th, and...

  9. Such a 'tool'

    LadyTiger44 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a new grad, and I have not started working yet ( I do on the 27th!) but I was always taught to go by your assessment and not the monitors-- so you did the right thing! How could you get in...

  11. Just Making It

    LadyTiger44 replied to shapodatweet24's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I also just graduated, and I felt like that often! I even did not pass one of my classes so I had to wait a year to get back into it. What got me through it was being determined, KNOWING that...

  13. Nclex

    LadyTiger44 replied to chickengal's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would say that the Kaplan would be a good review. It has a classroom portion and online resources that you use. It is expensive, but when I was paying for it a group of ppl from school were going...

  14. I have been a nurse for 10 years, now what?

    LadyTiger44 replied to Morning-glory's topic in General Nursing

    LadyTiger44 replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let it get you down. I did not pass a class second semester of my first year (ASN), had to sit out a year, but I still stuck with it.... I knew it was what I wanted to do and what I was meant...

  16. how much Indiana nurses make

    LadyTiger44 replied to nurseluv9's topic in Indiana Nursing

    A grad nurse is someone who has graduated but not taken the Nclex yet, so this is correct. At Clarian you get hired on getting paid RN pay; then if after you have taken the Nclex and you don't pass...
