    Sand_Dollar replied to happytexas's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I just passed my NCLEX so I can't give you sage advice from the floor, but can share what I have learned to do during my clinicals. I too have ADD...like you, not the hyperactive kind but the...

    Sand_Dollar replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I had rough time during OB and peds, really didn't expect that going in (guess I had some unresolved issues). But, come my day in a 'feeder grower' NICU, I absolutely LOVED it. I could deal with them...

    Sand_Dollar replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm sure I was one of those parents who asked that question on a daily basis. My son was a 30wk preemie and in the NICU for 2 months (hydrops fetalis). I was nowhere near nursing at the time and the...

    Sand_Dollar replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dori, I did Kaplan online vids & qbank. I wouldn't waste the money on the vids again, but the Kaplan qbank was very useful. Kaplan was good for helping you how to figure out the questions. I also...

    Sand_Dollar replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm the same way, I feel the stress in my body building up and get more anxious when I think about NOT studying. However, I took my Kaplan readiness this morning and am going to take the rest of the...

  16. GRADUATED!!! Do I call myself RN yet?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Nurse-84's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I graduated a couple of weeks ago. I tell people I'm a graduate nurse. I refuse to call myself a registered nurse until I have earned that title by passing the NCLEX.

  17. What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Neisha_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to remember that people will try to take care of themselves if they can, but often they are sick or incapable of taking care of themselves. My daughter got her CNA license when she turned...

    Sand_Dollar replied to jaspersun's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I am aware of how cost of living impacts pay scale. I am trying to figure out why there is a large gap in salaries within the relatively same geographical area. Legacy's residency salary lists at...

  22. Adventist new grad program

    Sand_Dollar replied to jaspersun's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I applied for my first time, I graduate in 2 weeks. I was wondering about salary, it says $24. Other residencies seem to start considerably higher. Does the salary stay the same once the program is...

    Sand_Dollar replied to grownuprosie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
