  1. 2 weeks til 3rd NCLEX such a wreck cant even study

    medicrn16 replied to murphyal555's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sweetie, you can absolutely do this and you did NOT go to school for nothing. I spent as much time telling myself I was smart, capable, and worthy of being a nurse as I did studying. Do not beat...

  3. Recognize weakness after first week on the floor

    medicrn16 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hope this won't be too long and that I can get some help. First week was great as far as experience goes. No one has yelled at me, snubbed me, or whatever. But, I have recognized a big weakness on my...

  4. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    medicrn16 replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    JMO, but I think it's reaching a little to say 'if you don't like it, you should not be a nurse'. Who in the world likes it? Never saw anyone going into a room to change a diaper with the attitude...

  5. Recognize weakness after first week on the floor

    medicrn16 replied to medicrn16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for your responses trixie and joy. You both hit on good points...but Joy, it's much closer to what you say. Making the transition from medic to RN has been TOUGH! Like the other day I had a guy...

  6. Where do you put your STUFF

    medicrn16 replied to DAMomma's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Best advice I could give you....get RID of the hanging lanyard. More trouble than it's worth and a bacteria-spreading nightmare just waiting to

    medicrn16 replied to medicrn16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow! How in the world could enthusiasm be interpreted as being a smart aleck??? God bless you for making it through. Could it have been more that they were intimidated by you because of your energy?...

    medicrn16 replied to medicrn16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OMG...that is a great idea. My work had a going away party for me last night and I was given a $100 gift card to a uniform store. Thanks for your

  11. Will extra certifications make me more marketable?

    medicrn16 replied to JenniferSews's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is just an interesting opposing view about qualifications...I am a medic for several years. Did an advanced one-year RN program, had an interview Monday and got a call yesterday that I was...

  12. ATI Predictor Test Score in relation to Pass/Fail NCLEX

    medicrn16 replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took ATI predictor with 98% chance of passing NCLEX. Took NCLEX on September 11 and passed with 75 first time. Yes, it does absolutely focus on areas of greatest weakness. I thought it was a great...

  13. Postponed interview....indefinitely or not??? Help!

    medicrn16 replied to newLeeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey there, IMHO I would keep calling. I do not believe it's considered 'pushy' to do so. It shows that you are highly interested and are not willing to give up. I finally got an interview for today...

  14. I took my NCLEX today and I think I failed :-(

    medicrn16 replied to Want2succeed's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After you take your exam (next day) try going back onto the PV site and log in. Attempt to schedule an exam. You will go through the first page of name, school, grad date, etc. When you try to go on...

  15. I took my NCLEX today and I think I failed :-(

    medicrn16 replied to Want2succeed's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If anyone lives in Florida you do NOT have to pay to get your exam results. Here is a link to get your exam results for FREE. As soon as PV says your exam results are ready, then you can go to this...

  16. few questions

    medicrn16 replied to TCLA's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I would add is check to see if any of your community colleges work with universities in your area to graduate with BSN. In Orlando, there are two comm. colleges who work with UCF to...

  17. Not properly trained for ER?????

    medicrn16 replied to bassadict69's topic in Emergency

    IMHO, you will work better where your heart's desire is. I can tell you that most of the students in my class had NO desire to do critical care or ED. BUT, all the medics in my class did. As medics in...

  18. NCLEX in two hours---Thank you

    medicrn16 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, this is it. I've studied, and prayed. Danced for the NCLEX gods. Visited my psychiatrist :chuckle. Done everything but sacrifice a chicken...and it's time to show what I know. In the last five...

  19. Not properly trained for ER?????

    medicrn16 replied to bassadict69's topic in Emergency

    Hey there! You didn't mention if you were working still as an EMT? Did you think about applying as a tech in the ED during school? Our Level 1 usually hires new GNs if they have worked in the unit as...

    medicrn16 replied to medicrn16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, when they say everyone feels like they failed, it's true. I cried when the computer shut off after 75 questions. I wanted more chances. Could not even remember the last question I answered to...

  23. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    medicrn16 replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  24. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    medicrn16 replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    First of all...what semester are you in? Just curious. I am nearing my graduation and your post caught my eye. There are a couple of things I'd like to say, and please forgive if they've been stated...

  25. Those nursing students that just don't seem to "get it"

    medicrn16 replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    To me, attitude is EVERYTHING. As a medic turned nursing student, when I got a medic student or EMT, if they didn't know much but had an extreme desire to learn, no problem. I've had the cocky, mouthy...
