This is a hard post to comment on. Firstly because I don't know you personally and this could've been posted in haste. But if these are your true feeling are you certain that bedside nursing is your true calling? I became a nurse to help those in ...

Well I have tried the real expensive danskin's, they weren't all that comfy for me. Then I went to croc's, and didnt care for em. Now I have something called Nothinz and they are great.

If I remember correctly it took about 2 weeks to get my paper lisc but my name was on their website after 3 days or so.

1. In what ways was your educational experience more difficult or easier as a male student? I noticed while in school that being a male in a mostly female dominated area, that some instructors as well as staff at facilities we did clinicals at, males...

Just google scrubs and you will come up with a bunch of good places, I have some places locally here in NY where I shop.

I must say working for a few months prior to taking the NCLEX made a big difference for me, working with drugs daily gives you a better opportunity to learn some of the more popular ones and I thought like I said it was a big help.

MIne also shut off at 76 when I took mine and I passed, back then. Best of luck!

Congrats!!!!

Good question, here is a link that I found that might clear it up a little for ya. http://www.azhha.org/public/uploads/ACF62EA.pdf#search=%22hipaa%20%2B%20law%20enforcement%22

I work in an Open Heart ICU and our charge nurses always take an assignment. I dont think it deters the other duties that we have at all, charge is a little bit of extra work for a very little extra pay, but you know I think it is reasonable that th...

I can only laugh about this comment, first off I dont care, if the person working with me is an ADN, BSN, MSN or for that fact a professor that taught me in school. YEs some know more then others and some use it better then others. But a nurse is a...

The way I felt about review classes was this, I will try on my own first and if I dont succeede then I will take a review class, but needless to say I passed on the first try just using review books, think I did somewhere in the neighborhood of 6000 ...

Wow, thats bad, I work in a cancer center in WNY and we get 5 personal days the day you are hired (renewed yearly) and then earn 4 hours of sick time per pay period, it accrues up quickly.

# in a row is definitely an issue at alot of facilities, with our last union contract it was instilled that 3 12's in a row were not allowed unless you volunteer for them of course, it seems to make sense, but I like many others would rather do the 3...

Both ears and my tounge and several tats, but I really couldnt see how it would ever be an issue, all I have ever heard from patients and families are compliments on my visible artwork. Never been an issue with management either.

Okay so I graduated in may and have passed my boards, working on a med/surg floor, right now I am in waist deep taking my ACLS, then will be taking my PALS course, what else is out there to take, my ultimate goal is to be in an ER somewhere or some o...

I couldnt agree more with the bed side expeience, its a great place to work, but being a former ambulance jockey (LOL) I miss the excitement of the blood, guts, drunks, trauma, etc, just want to make my way there and be the best I can once I get ther...

I have to agree with that one hundred precent, I know for a fact that I got my very last question wrong on my NCLEX when I took it and I passed with 81 questions. I remembered the last question adn went home and looked it up, then stressed for two d...

My scores ranged from 82 up to 96 and I passed my boards, so just keep studying.

I took my NCLEX just about a month ago now, and I used the CAT with my last month of studying for the test. I must say I was glad I took it, the questions there seemed to much more closely resemble those of which I had on the actual NCLEX, I would s...

Wow tee, I dont know what to say. I am almost speechless. (kinda offended even) As far as I have seen in my so far short career is that patients are initially somewhat apprehensive to a male nurse if they have never had one before. But then once w...

Graduated with a 3.7 had a perfect 4.0 til the last 2 semesters of clinicals.

I personally enjoy taping my report daily. I dont care for oral report myself, too much time is always spent being sidetracked by other things going on.
