  2. Trouble Finding a Job as New Graduate??

    debsuztx posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  3. Trouble Finding a Job as New Graduate??

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

    I don't think it really matters if you have an ADN or BSN. Well, except for one hospital that told them they prefer hiring BSN's over ADN's, but would hire an ADN with 6 months experience. This...

  4. The most horrible things instuctor's say...

    debsuztx replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had one instructor tell me to "re-think my career choice." And another one basically tell me "I wasn't SMART enough to be a nurse." Well, I showed them. I went on to get my LVN, and just recently...

  5. Trouble Finding a Job as New Graduate??

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

    Still nothing on the horizon! I have heard of internships for new grads, but most of them started right after I graduated. I did see one for St. Lukes, but my HESI score wasn't high enough for them....

    debsuztx replied to AnaBanana12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey AnaBanana12! I'm in the same boat as you. I take the test on Monday at 8 am. At this point, all you can do is pray and put it in God's hands. I have studied till I think I can't study anymore....

  12. I got 77...does that seem odd?

    debsuztx replied to augirl4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    debsuztx posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Just Took the NCLEX

    debsuztx replied to ebkayaker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not sure about California, but in Texas the Board posts names on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. So if you took your boards on Wednesday it wouldn't show up until the following Tuesday. That was...

  15. Will results from Pearson/NCLEX come on Saturday?

    debsuztx replied to Karmi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just printed my ATT and the Quick Results Service information. It states, Please wait two business days after your test before you request your results. I wouldn't consider Sunday because they don't...

  16. Why not let me have a PCA?

    debsuztx replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in General Nursing

  18. Starting as Ortho GN in less than a week...

    debsuztx replied to RoxannMM's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, "Congratulations" on your new job. I started out on a Ortho unit as a brand new LVN and was terrified. I asked ALOT of questions; as someone already stated, the people who don't ask,...

    debsuztx replied to Jen2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! You must be so proud! Seriously, if you read the posts and talk to people I have never talked to ONE person who felt good about that test when they came out of there. I guess it's...

  20. P.A.S.S questions - help needed!

    debsuztx replied to Elleann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also choose #4. I have difficulty with tests in general and answering questions; but, the way I looked at this question was, "what is the worse thing that can happen to this child?" You know with...

  21. How long for ATT to come? How long to study?

    debsuztx replied to Boston-RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Had Pinning last Thursday (5/11), Graduation on Saturday (5/13) and I received my ATT today. So surprising, considering we had a Interim Director having to do the work. Two years ago, when I...

  22. wedding rings at work

    debsuztx replied to tofutti's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't wear my "real" wedding ring to work/clinicals because the setting is a marquise (sp?) and sets up too high, plus when putting on gloves, the diamond would rip the gloves. I went to Walmart...

    debsuztx replied to summersbreeze's topic in First Year After Licensure

    debsuztx replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    mjlrn97- I totally agree with you; you're right, not everyone has the same symptoms with a kidney stone. The problem that I had was the stone (which was the size of a peanut) was stuck in the ureter...
