  1. What do (did) you do during the gap between graduation and your first job

    megank5183 replied to sourapril's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Freaked out about having to actually get a real

  2. I'm getting a little frustrated here.

    megank5183 replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Josh, It sounds like you have a lot of other things going on in your life that are stressing you out. I think that maybe addressing some of your negative self-thoughts will set you up for success more...

  3. Ordering used text books on Amazon??

    megank5183 replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in General Students

    This is the only way that I buy books....never had a problem and saved a lot of

  4. People really believe this????

    megank5183 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    I know that it shouldn't, but when people are so uninformed, it really irks me....Jesus, people, do a google search so you won't sound so

  5. Advanced Pharm-Tests or Papers

    megank5183 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry if this is a silly question, but is advanced pharm a test or paper-focused course? I am taking it next semester online...so I'm not sure how they could administer tests? Can't you cheat if you...

  6. Let go from orientation

    megank5183 replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would leave it off.....I think that it is BS to let someone go during orientation. I was so terrified that this would happen to me. Nurses, for the amount of responsibility that comes with the job,...

  7. Grumpy Co workers make it so bad, I might just leave

    megank5183 replied to SheRN12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    sorry to say, but no matter where you go you will find nurses like this. I don't know why, but a lot of nurses are rude! I have never had such terrible coworkers in other places I have worked. GL and...

  8. Credibility of Walden University

    megank5183 replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that the point is being missed. On-line education can be just as good, if not better, than brick and mortar schools. It is the for-profit schools that are in question (by me at least). As I...

  9. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    megank5183 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure what you are asking? Most NP schools have a more holistic educational path than hard science courses like CRNA or PA school. When you graduated nursing school, did you feel like you could...

  10. Advanced Pharm-Tests or Papers

    megank5183 replied to megank5183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for your responses....I hear this class can be killer. Did you find it much more involved than undergrad pharm? (I'm assuming

  11. Will it ever feel better???

    megank5183 replied to coopman712's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you are busy and did not have time or forgot to question why on a specific order, then the oncoming nurse can simply call the doc to clarify. Don't beat yourself up. My second day alone after...

  12. Credibility of Walden University

    megank5183 replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The OP asked if going to Walden over a traditional school would hurt their credibility. My answer is yes, and if you have other options pursue them. This may be offensive to Walden or other for-profit...

  13. honestly, how soon will you leave bedside nursing...

    megank5183 replied to EDnursetobe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i made it two years in the SICU....hated it beyond words. I now work outpatient with psych kids. I love it. It's funny that there both nursing jobs, but have as much similarity to a astronaut and...

  14. 41 yr old male wanting to start a 2nd career in nursing?

    megank5183 replied to simonJ's topic in Men in Nursing

    i don't think that you are too old at all and many men in my class were switching to second careerS in nursing at roughly your age. Follow what you think is the right choice....the two years that it...

  15. Orientee Horror Stories?

    megank5183 replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! I hear all the time about these horrible preceptors that sound like Hannibal Lecter meets Charles Manson. But I have never witnessed any preceptor be really mean to a new hire. Some are...

  16. undecided about nursing career...

    megank5183 replied to <3 Kimmii86 <3's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi Kimmi, Why does your family want you to give up your CNA license? Because your not good at math? Can you elaborate a little bit on that? It seems like maybe something else is bothering you.....Why...

  17. Duties of an overnight certified nursing assistant

    megank5183 replied to NurseBre94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    it is impossible to do all stuff during days....I would rather work at a gas station than go back to CNA work on day shift. I don't know if it was just my particular facility, but it was awful!! so...

  18. Anatomy and Physiology

    megank5183 replied to claritasd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVE animals. I absolutely understand your hesitance and reluctance to do this. But it probably will be a requirement. We had to dissect a rat (the only animal that I am TERRIFIED of) and a poor,...

  19. Are You A Victim?

    megank5183 replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    you are absolutely right! I graduate NS with a 3.9 and have a 4.0 right now in grad school. I have delayed having children (which is something i desperately want) to graduate and make a living wage so...

  20. Omg! Passed!

    megank5183 replied to PnutButterJelly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats, girl! Be very proud of your accomplishment....I remember how great a feeling that was. Enjoy your career, you've earned it

  21. Anyone trying to get fit before NS?

    megank5183 replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    I'm finished with nursing school, but need to lose some serious weight so I can fit into my damn wedding dress. Would love someone who wants to be an accountability partner. I would love to do a...

  22. nursing clinicals and glorified cna work

    megank5183 replied to kkanady's topic in General Students

    Ohhh....I thought you just made the students go in patient's rooms if they had nothing else to do. I remember an instructor who thought we should always be in our patient's rooms during clinicals. As...

  23. Will it ever feel better???

    megank5183 replied to coopman712's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I used to feel like you do all the time. This may not be a popular answer, but I think that knowing a patient's entire history is not really an important part of being a good nurse. Some nurses really...

  24. nursing clinicals and glorified cna work

    megank5183 replied to kkanady's topic in General Students

    This is crazy!! you wanted your students to go and sit in their patient's room all morning? i know that if I was the patient, I would have said "get out of my room"! I understand that you want your...

  25. any experienced nurses who can give me career advice?

    megank5183 replied to sleepdeprived1's topic in Nursing Career

    you said that you loved psych, so why not go back and commit to psych nursing and make a career out of it? My first job was as an ICU RN in the biggest hospital in the city. Holy ****, was I scared. I...
