Is 5 years long enough to know I'm in the wrong field? I keep asking myself. I kind of knew I had chosen the wrong field while I was still in school. However, I always did so well in class and had a 3.9 GPA. My clinical instructors liked me and I cou...

Thank you for the warm words of encouragement. It really helped me start my day.

Hello-- I just sent my application paperwork off to the AK board to get my license. I am so excited about the possibility of moving! I have 1.5 years of nursing experience, and have some questions for anyone who may know...How difficult is it to get ...

Hi everyone, I am going to start travel nursing sometime around the first of the year. How do you go about researching the potential hospital you're going to? Second, does anyone have a link to a post, or any direct advice, regarding what ducks I nee...

I just wanted to stop in and offer a HUGE thankyou to all who've posted back to me. I have been checking out the webside HH, and find it very informative. I was actually about to go the same route as many new travel nurses, meaning I had a company pi...

Thank you so much for your response. I learned a lot from it! Take care--

Hey guys, any takers?

thanks, but I already did it. No infection, no complaints. Just beautiful!

Hello, Avoiding conversation as to the professionalism of nose rings, I have a health question about MRSA. Say you'd been in the hospital as a CNA for a long time, and assumed you were already colonized (betcha I am). Would getting a nose ring gauren...

Hello--I'm considering the Peace Corps, and am afraid of letting my RN license lapse and having to take the NCLEX all over again when I get back. How can I find out how long it takes of being unemployed before that happens? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I've been an RN for one year now, and absolutely LOVE it. I like where I work, but not where I live, and would like to move to WA. I'm not picky about where in WA, because adventure is half the game. Besides, if I can just get my foot in...

Hi g3rly! I just now saw your response to my earlier post. Thanks so much for your vote of confidence!!! I need it now, just when I'm beginning to get my resume together, and look online to find potential employers to start 'hounding.' It's kindof ...

Hi everyone, I've been working as a nurse for the past 9 months since graduation. Things get so hard, and I say in my head, "I hate this stuff," but at the end of the day, I still love it. I love the adrenaline, the team work, the business of it all...

Hi llg, Thanks for responding back to me. Actually visiting would be the best thing to do. Heck, it may even give me a good excuse to take a mini vacation this year and go back home to visit my family. I asked my mother to put her feelers out for me....

There's no way anyone could grab onto something flat, the size of a fruit fly.

Hi Laura, Just wanted to drop back in and say thank you for responding to my question. I have so badly always wanted a nose ring, and maybe now I'll get one. We'll see...I've always adored women of Persian and Indian culture for their beauty, and a n...

This thread is so scary! I'm a new grad. When I first started, we were getting 6-7 patients per RN. Now we get 5-6, which is so much better. But any night we're dealing with patient's who are confused and fall and hurt themselves; patients with blood...

Hello, Avoiding conversation as to the professionalism of nose rings, I have a health question about MRSA. Say you'd been in the hospital as a CNA for a long time, and assumed you were already colonized (betcha I am). Would getting a nose ring gauren...

That was awesome. Thank you!!!

Thank you for going into detail, actually. I come into contact with patients who have MRSA all the time, so before I get a nose ring, I just wanted to understand my chances of getting sick. Let me ask another question. Lets say my nose is colonized. ...

Will do. Thanks Squire!!!

Hi everyone, I said I'd come back and report my results with the "trick." It works. I'm a nurse now. I just found out through PV unofficial results. Just for future people checking the trick, I actually tried it about 2 hours after I took the NCLEX. ...

Hi everyone-- I just took my NCLEX-RN on the 15th of this month-yesterday. So, I've been checking the "trick" ever since I got home. It has always given me the message that everyone hopes to see! Since I have read 3/4 of this thread, and it has MORE...

Hello everyone, I have one more week left of school. One week, two tests. Then, it's over. The 6 year long journey is finished. However, it's only just begun. I am scared about not being able to find a nursing job in Colorado. To be this much in debt...

That's good to know. I will put in for some more hospitals down there, then. I already put into St. Mary Corwin's and never heard back. OK. That's not totally true. I put in for the new grad program. Then the recruiter called back and said that progr...
