Angel@MyTable RN

I am full time (well 64 h/ppp), and no, not flexible. I had 2 orientation days on the floor @noc, 1 orientation day on the floor @days, and 1 orientation day with Admit nurse (which was there regularly from 1300-2100, but we only have admit nurse wh...

Thanks! I'll push for St J's, but wouldn't mind St M's to get my foot in the door w/Carondelet. St Marys wouldn't be bad as eventually I plan on getting MSN then DNP specializing in Global/Community Health, and working at St M's would be right up m...

Could you elaborate Rainey? I have been applying, and haven't heard anything back, but plan on calling w/in the week to follow up on submitted resumes since my shoulder is feeling better. TIA!!

I've been at my job exactly ONE year as a new grad, and I received exactly THREE days + ONE day with the admissions nurse (with an admit who refused to be admitted, so basically I did nothing). Three days on the floor as a new grad on a CRAZY busy T...

I am just finishing that course, and I'm glad I got the book. My prof was super picky about postings, and using the book as a reference for the postings.

Hi Melissa I'm taking NR-351 (Professional Transitions) and NR-305 (Health Assessment) Session B/Summer. I have to take Stats sometime within the next year and that is probably the only thing that scares me, I plan on getting a tutor to help get me ...

I start the RN to BSN next month on the 30th! I am more excited than I thought I would be since I just graduated from RN in May, and passed the boards in June! I have 10 classes to take too!

Hey there! I have been looking for an RN-BSN program that would be a little quicker to complete than the brick and mortar schools in my area (total would have been like 3.5 years....TOO LONG). So I started to dig around on AN and found some very hel...

Good Luck to ALL July (and beyond) NCLEX takers! This is the final step in your dreams to become an RN!

My school used HESI as a tool to figure out weak spots, so we could study appropriately for the NCLEX. In that context, I think it is an excellent tool. We were told NOT to study for the HESI, and I was given what my weak points were: Delegation &am...

A new Prius....yup! That's about it! Oh, and I guess paying off SL may be a good idea also!

I practiced on and off for about 5 mos before graduation this May, I kicked it into gear about 2 weeks before I took exam and did anywhere from 1000-2000 Q's. I used Saunder's 4th Ed for content, and Kaplan's Strategies to get the gist of what I was...

"COW" is a Computer On Wheels.

I put it in my pocket usually, sometimes around the neck! Light pink (paid a little more for Breast Cancer Support) Littman Classic II LE. Big mistake to get a light color! Will probably get an new one (dark).

PVT worked for me also! 75 Q's NCLEX RN and did the "trick" about 3 hours after I finished: got the "good pop up." Found out the next morning that I passed (MN BON)!

You should still have an account with the BON in your state. Log in and you should be able to check! PVT should still work as long as you have your account w/BON! Good Luck!

:ancong!: BROWNIE!

I agree with the other poster's who say to just kiss her arse, and get through the clinical. I can say this easily now, but I have been in your shoes: my first semester clinical's (Geriatrics). My instructor WAS AWFUL! She once berated me in fron...

What I am trying to say is to go by RSV being contact precautions for NCLEX, may be different in the "real world" but they tell you over and over not to go by what may happen in the "real world" on the NCLEX. Think about all of the things that RN's...

Congrats!:yelclap:

It sounds like you will be fine! My Saunder's ranged any where from 50%-100%, Kaplan 68%-73%. I passed with 75Q! (take the day off today, and watch an old movie before you go to sleep or while you are falling asleep, I guess it's supposed to trigger...

Even though I am a new nurse (just passed the NCLEX on Tuesday), I have a definite opinion on this topic. I happened to precept with a nurse (who is also the manager of the floor I worked on) and is also part of the MNA. I finished up my preceptorsh...

Don't go by what any thing else says until after the NCLEX! NCLEX is its own thing, and I got at least 2 questions on my NCLEX about RSV! So stick with it being contact precautions.

The "good pop up" means you passed! Congrats!

I took the exam on Tuesday, did PVT a few hours later and got the good pop up. Found out yesterday morning I passed and today they issued my license! WHOOPIE!! I am an RN for REALS!! So IMO PVT is TRUE! Good Luck to you!
