    Adults to Peds

    Hello guys! I am currently an adult cardiac nurse for approx. 1 year now. When I graduated nursing school I always wanted to get into pediatrics but the internship programs in my area are very competitive. I was already working for a hospital as a PC...

    Comparable pay to NY??

    Yeah, you're def not going to make that much as a new grad in florida. My Hospital in Tampa starts new grad at 24.42hr with $5.00 more for night shift. Cost of living is less in florida though. And with only having 2months experience you are still co...
  6. I Had a interview for a NICU Internship position last week it's 4-6months long. All those certifications NRP, STABLE, etc. are included in the internship i'm trying to get into. So it would make no sense for me to try and obtain it

    How would you of screwed yourself? You really think a "trick" will screw your test results up?

    1) ADN-BSN or 2) Work?

    If I was in your position and had to choose, I would choose to work. New Grad jobs are hard to find...and as the above poster mentioned school isn't going anywhere. Maybe you can start school in the spring..wait a semester if you think u can't manage...

    1) ADN-BSN or 2) Work?

    If you did decide to go the online route, why will it take you 3years? I'm about to start a BSN program in the fall & it will only take me 1 year to complete..this is at a State University.

    WAITING ON ATT....

    I'm in florida & it took me 2 weeks. They told me it was their busy season so the wait was longer. Took my NCLEX last month.
  18. CruzanNurseRN

    Did Hurst, NCLEX on 06/25...advice please!

    I used Hurst and passed. The only thing with Hurst is I found that it didn't give me enough practice questions, so I bought Exam cram 4th edition from Amazon just to supplement what I learned from hurst...it's a blue/yellow book with over 1300 questi...

    Tweeked Lab Value Mnemonic

    I would never remember that, seems easier to just memorize the most common lab values. But if it works for you :-)

    Frustrated New Grad

    St. Joesph is hiring right now, just recently had a interview but they are looking at internal applicants first. St. Joseph-south will be opening soon so the recruiter told me that he was told to "over hire" because many of the senior nurses will be ...

    need help plzzzzzz

    Hurst is great for content, & NCSBN is good for questions. Try and invest in LaCharity as well, you can purchase it on Amazon. You need to find out your learning style & figure out what will work for you. I think the majority of folks go with...

    Took Nclex RN today all 265 questions

    Can you invest in the Hurst Review? Are you struggling with content?
  24. CruzanNurseRN

    Hurst Review!!

    If you study how they tell you too, you probably will. I used Hurst, and Lacharity and I passed in May.
  25. My school used ATI through school and I really didn't like it. I think you should look into Hurst, they break it down in "simple"ways for you to remember. Also invest in Lacharity you can get it on Amazon. Good Luck!
