  1. My new Nurse Manager is making everyone want to quit

    They know. One showed up and couldn't find the nurse for his pt and the nurses station was completely empty and when one came into the nurses station he asked how many nurses they had and when she told them 2 for 6 vent pts he went ballistic. It was ...
  2. Our old Nurse Manager left the position to become a part-time floor nurse and a new one was hired a couple months later and nobody can stand her. She changed our pt ratio from around 5 to 1 or 6 to 1 (on good days 4 to 1) to Team Nursing. Which means...
  3. My new Nurse Manager is making everyone want to quit

    I just hate it. I used to enjoy going to work and seeing and talking to my pts and now I don't. I can't even sit and talk to them because I need to rush to do something else for another pt. We are like a family and when one person in particular said ...
  4. My new Nurse Manager is making everyone want to quit

    The old Nurse Manager left because they tried to add more responsibilities to her job that was originally a separate job, but the woman who did that job went on maternity leave and they weren't willing to let her work from home. When asked if the pol...
  5. License Renewal

    I just got my license this year and it says it expires December 31, 2010. Some people at my job still say I'm supposed to get it renewed because one in particular graduated in 2006 and had to renew his that year. It also says on the MSBON that all RN...

    Stanley, I'm in Mississippi. Gentlegiver, I took state boards Aug 28 and my birthday is Nov 16.
  7. License Renewal

    A guy I work with got his back in 2006 and he said that he had to renew it by the end of that year also so I wasn't sure, but like I already posted, I got ahold of the BON and they reassured me. achat chovi, I didn't know that. Thanks. Tntrn, license...

    I just got off the phone with the MS BON and they said that if the card says 2010, then that is when it expires. Thanks y'all.:heartbeat

  11. My Second Try!

    I'm so ecstatic! I just took the NCLEX-RN for the second time on Thursday the 28th and I just found out this morning that I passed. The test stopped at 75 questions and my heart dropped. I got a boatload of SATA and Infection Control questions. I eve...
  12. Let the praises go up ~ I PASSED!!! [2nd time]

    Congratulations! I know how it feels to fail the first time and I failed with all 265 questions. I was so close. I passed the second time around with 75 also and felt a relief. You're now an RN. Go celebrate!
  13. About to throw up! HELP ME!

    Serena I felt like I failed my second attempt also when it stopped at 75, but I passed. There's a good chance you did also.
  14. yehey!!!!! finally!!!!

    Congratulations! It's a great feeling.
  15. Thank yous for "I failed for the 5th time"

    I'm glad you're not giving up.
  16. NCLEX Easier in other states??????

    The Nclex is a national test. No test is easier or harder than the other because of the state you're in. You're right, your friends aren't.
  17. the battle is over.!!!

    Good Job! I'm glad you never gave up. You're a Nurse now!
  18. Exam Cram?

    I used it with various other books to prepare for the Nclex my second time around. It gives great study tips and things to remember. I liked it.

    Congratulations Angie!
  21. Failed the NCLEX-RN for the 5th time!

    Good Luck to you Zaylee. It's hard, but you guys can do it.
  22. 22 SATAs! and done at 75! oh no!

    I didn't count each and everyone, but I noticed a pattern. All I know is that I would have 3 back to back, then none, then another three, and then none and then 4 and so on. I've never done well with SATA so I dreaded everyone that I got and I couldn...
  23. Failed the NCLEX-RN for the 5th time!

    Zelda, don't be discouraged and don't let people pull you down. If this is what you want, fight for it. To the person who said that the test wasn't that hard, they should read all the posts here because MAJORITY will say that YES it was that hard, I ...
  24. 22 SATAs! and done at 75! oh no!

    It can go either way, but we've seen from a lot of posters lately that they've gotten tons of SATA and have passed. I myself had tons of them and stopped at 75 when I took it the second time around and I passed. Good Luck!
  25. Just took NCLEXRN/ton of Sata

    Traci I hate SATA questions, but I got a TON on my exam the second time around and I felt I failed because of it, but I passed! You probably did also.
