  1. New grad and scared to work

    Kringe38 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I passed my NCLEX last Wednesday and showed up on my BON website as an RN as of today. I thought I'd be over the moon, but I am actually just petrified beyond belief. I almost don't want to work as...

  2. New grad job woes - question (long)

    Kringe38 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do realize the job market is tough right now and employers have their pick of whoever they want to hire, yet I can't help but feel perplexed ever since I started looking for work. I have...

  3. New grad job woes - question (long)

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh no, that has got to feel like a punch in the gut! To finally be told you have something and then have it yanked away. This whole job search thing is very much a roller coaster. Hopes up! Hopes...

  4. New grad job woes - question (long)

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That does make sense. I see what you mean. I do have a couple of their e-mail addresses. I e-mailed one right after my interview with her and got no reply at all. There is one who seems very nice...

  5. New grad job woes - question (long)

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's been several weeks now with no more interviews. Would they think I was weird if I called them back now at this late date and asked them to reconsider, or ask if there was anything I could do to...

  6. New nurse miserable at new job

    Kringe38 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, there. This is a common story, I guess, but here goes. I got a job at a nursing home and have only been there a few days. I had a few days of orientation, then one day when I was on my own and...

  7. New nurse miserable at new job

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Nursing

    I am still struggling. I even tried to quit but they want to keep me and gave me another week of training. It's just still so miserable and now I feel even more guilty if I quit after I said I'd...

  8. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

    Kringe38 replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it on June 1 and felt like mine had a lot of SATA. I didn't keep count, but it was more than I was expecting for some reason. It stopped at 75 questions, I got the "good" pop-up, and...

  9. Just took NCLEX- stressed to the max!!!

    Kringe38 replied to LINZ_ME's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just got home a couple of hours ago from taking mine, as well. I think it is normal to feel like you failed. They told us that in the review course I took, that the vast majority of NCLEX test...

  10. New RN's do you have a job yet?

    Kringe38 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    No job yet, and it's making me really

  11. Calling all Associate's Degree Students that already have a Bachelor's degree!

    Kringe38 replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    I have a Bachelor's and am about to graduate with an Associate's in nursing. I wasn't eligible for any grants but was able to get loans after filling out my FAFSA. If you have a low enough income,...

  13. Who pays for your pin?

    Kringe38 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    I would be interested to see one of these $5 pins. I had to pay about $100 for

  14. Who pays for your pin?

    Kringe38 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    We pay for our own pin directly. I guess that's better, in a way, than having the cost of the pin rolled into tuition. At least you have the choice of whether or not to spend the money on it this...

  15. Is it me? Last few weeks of NS and my motivation is flagging.

    Kringe38 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    I think a lot of people in my class are feeling this way, me included. Only about a month to go and it's like pulling teeth to make myself do my clinical paperwork. And for some reason, my skin is...

  16. Team leader assignment

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    I guess I was parading around with a clipboard part of the time! So glad it's over. I was able to offer help - this floor has more total-care patients than I've seen before. Did my little...

  17. Team leader assignment

    Kringe38 posted a topic in General Students

    Final semester. We are each going to be assigned a day (actually I think 2 days) during clinical to practice the "team leader" role. This is for a grade. There's a whole long list of objectives to...

  18. Team leader assignment

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    That's what I'm afraid will happen - that I will end up standing around uselessly! And that I will pester my team members too much - Do you need anything? Need help? How about now? How about now?...

  19. Countdown to Pinning

    Kringe38 replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in General Students

    Approximately 10 more weeks... I kinda feel like this right now: :dzed: There's a bunch of stuff all coming up at once (what else is new); a presentation, 2 tests, a paper, a

  20. Team leader assignment

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    Okay, this coming week is our last week on this floor and it's finally my turn to be the team leader. I will update when it is done. It's looking like I will *have* to actually assign the patients...

  21. Team leader assignment

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    That sounds like it would work perfectly. Unless my instructor says otherwise, I think I will try

  22. Team leader assignment

    Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    Thank you. I'll try to get back and post about this again. I'm always on here, LOL. At least lurking. Thanks. Yeah, you bring up an interesting point that I thought of as well. The objectives...

  23. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    Kringe38 replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    I don't get all the hate for rolling backpacks and I don't know what school some of you guys are going to if you don't even need your books. At my school...for one thing, almost all the books are...

  24. Where are you doing clinicals this semester?

    Kringe38 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Fifth (and last) semester of an ADN program. No idea where clinicals will be this semester! We don't start school until the 18th and we will be lucky if they tell us then! They might not tell us...

  25. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    Kringe38 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One can get Guillain Barre after having a bout of the actual flu, also, not just the flu shot. Just thought I'd throw that
