LVAD RN

First I must say as a new grad myself it is hard at times not to take things personal. It is great that you have a supportive team to work with and a great preceptor. I have noticed that when families have "lost" control of a situation they start to ...

PM me and if you are willing to relocate as you say I know of a Level 1 trauma center hiring new grads and nurses from the floors in the ED.

First I must say it is rude for them to take lunch or breaks at the same time if it is unsafe for the pts. When I am at work and I see my countryman or woman we speak in our language because we greet each other in a different way than Americans do. H...

I don't know everything and if I did we would not need orientation :)

A doc asked me to give a med and I stated, "Doc so & so I don't think it is safe for the patient and if you want to give the med then do so but I won't" he was upset and all the nurses on the unit agreed with me and he had to change the order. Yo...

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I don't work hospice but what I can tell you is please do not become numb!! When you start becoming numb in a place such as hospice then maybe you should move on. I know someone 30 years old that died an...

First I have to thank God and members of this website. There were days when i felt so sad and when I did so bad on my NLN diagnostic test Silverdragon102 reminded me that it was just a number and I should continue to study until the day of my exam. s...

RN2Be I think your test scores are great for Kaplan. I really don't believe you can study too soon. I know with Kaplan from my experience if you do EVERY & I mean EVERYTHING they tell you to do you will pass. Others that did not pass that I know ...

1. Pen 2. IVs (20g, extention tubes) 3. Trauma shears 4. Tegaderm 5. Vacutainer 6. Cheat book 7. Flushes 8. ETOH pads 9. Gum 10. Credit card Wow I did not realize what I really put in my pockets until now :)

Don't be too hard on yourself :) I had to straight cath a pt and missed so I had to call my former preceptor who told me I was an idiot for missing so it can happen. The funny part about it is that the pt does this herself...I just laughed at it and ...

Congrats on HESI and good luck on your up coming semesters :) Remember to do what is best for you and your family. You rock!!

CONGRATS!!! I knew you would do..:)

I volunteer local as an EMT and I have been on a few trips overseas. My experiences were GREAT and it helped me see what what was important in life..things such as family rather than material things. I am going on a trip next summer to Guatemala to v...

I am a new grad that started in June and I love love my job as a new grad. I moved out of state to work and it has been the best thing for me. however, the group of RN's I started with a couple are so negative that it is making me miserable and I can...

Thank you all soo much :) I went to work today and I started out with a positive attitude and avoided the negative people in our group and I am happy to say that I ended my shift that way. It was hard at times but I made sure to smile and say thanks ...

Thank you both so much, I really should just try and be cheerful around my patients and maybe it will transfer to the others.

Just curious if anyone knows...Took it Friday 6/12 8am and paid the Quick Results fee Sunday and found out I passed. About how long 'til I"m actually licensed and listed on the NYS BON web site? I start work on Monday and I told the nurse managers I ...

I received it 1 week after, however, I had to call them twice in one day to make sure they received it. One person would say they could not help me but then if you called a few minutes later they would tell you an update. I would try ...good luck

I don't have tattoos but our policy is that you cannot have them visible while at work, so a few people that had them on their necks had to wear turtle-necks or something to cover them. This change in policy made many upset but they also reminded emp...

I would hope that if I have bad body odor someone would tell me. Yes it can be difficult to say but I would be hurt a lot more if people were talking about me rather than pulling me in a room and saying,"This is hard for me to say but I have noticed ...

No problem, he stated that he was nervous the first time which I found out that the student that grauated from a rival school at the top of her class failed with 75 questions as well just from nerves. He ONLY used saunders to prepare and when he went...

Kaplan is offering a free NCLEX-RN practice exam and I wanted to know if anyone did it before? What should I expect and am I wasting my time by doing this because my school is offering a NLN diagnostic test the same week? I also want to know if the S...

First I must say how sorry I am that you did not pass. I took the exam 11 days ago and passed with 77 questions, this is what I did: 1. Everyday I did NO MORE than 150 questions each day 2. I ONLY used Kaplan which helped me with the strategies (some...

The trick works, I did not believe it and after taking my exam 10 days ago I received the pop up msg and I passed. I took the exam on a Friday found out I passed on the Sunday 6/14. It was the only thing keeping me going, I had 77 questions (NCLEX-RN...
