Hi Everyone! I have been totally MIA for a while. I've been doing my MSN for Nurse Education. I am about to start my next (and final) class that includes creating a EBP proposal. From reading the syllabus, it appears that I just have to create this...

Thanks for the input. I found out that some one is in the process of doing number 1. I have spoken to our education resource nurses and will be working on number two. It will be more like an enhanced orientation where we will provide more support th...

Hello Everyone! I am about to start my Masters Program in Nurse Education, our first assignment is to interview a Nurse in our Specialty with their MSN. I am wondering if anyone would be willing to volunteer? If so please private message me so we can...

No inconvenience at all. I think getting NRP and STABLE certified is a good plan of action.

Hi Ladyj, I know your question is directed at Steve, but I wanted to address it a little bit if you do not mind. I graduated a new grad in 2008 and went straight into a Level III/IV NICU. I've heard from people who have worked at multiple hospitals...

Why did you decide to go into Nurse Educating? Do you still do patient care as well???

At my new unit we are up and down. At my old unit i am told that they are super slow.

I gently slip my hand in and rest it on their trunk and count for 60 seconds. If they are restless or upset, I do my cares first, get them settled and do the resps at the end when they are rested and comfortable. Hope this helps!

I went from Philadelphia to no Albuquerque New Mexico. I'm loving my job and my experience more and more every day. Ofcourse I miss a lot of my coworkers back home. But I am really enjoying all the stuff I can do on this unit.

I've been on orientation for 1 month now and I can't express what an amazing orientation I have had so far! I have gotten to care for very complex patients on drips, transfusions, numerous vents, studies, etc. I am so excited. My preceptor has been ...

CHOP really isn't all its cracked up to be. Don't limit yourself. Go to a unit that will value you and what you can bring to the unit as well as a unit that will teach you and help grow as a nurse. I'm not saying CHOP won't do that.... but there are ...

I went right into a level 3 NICU after graduation nursing school. In general I think the profession is very stressful. However, I love my job. I am still very new. Only a little over a year experience, and I haven't been exposed to much. SO the fear ...

I think that I would be very hesitant to do this. If you decide you might want to, I think its very important to set very clear guidelines as to what your responsibilities are and to make it very very clear that you will be there as a babysitter... ...

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't been on the site in a long time. I actually moved! I left a level 3 NICU on the East Coast to go to a level 3 in the Southwest. My orientation is almost done. Its only 8 weeks since I had a years experience under my belt...

Hi. If you are interested in purchasing text books and/or supplementary books to get through the ACE program please let me know. I and other former students are trying to get rid of these books. You can PM me! Thanks! Good luck in the program!

I have books for all quarters available along with the "made incredibly easy" books, "reviews and rationales" and some other books that helped in my success through nursing school. So I am offering help to students at any point during the program, no...

HI everyone.... I havea quick personal question that I am freaking out about. I called my Drs. Office and they don't open until 1045 today, and the answering service said I can either wait and see if the office can take me or I can go to urgent care....

Hi. I worked while I studied. I did about an hour on the days I worked and on my days off I did 3-4 hours. I didn't really study... I did mostly questions. Then if I saw a trend in the questions i got wrong I would go review, but I didn't really spe...

So, I thought I was scheduled to take my NCLEX-RN tomorrow the 11th. So this morning (about 45 minutes ago) I go to print out my ATT and confirmation with direction on it. And it totally says that my test is TODAY 11/10 at 1:00. I am totally freaking...

I passed! With 84 Questions! And I got a raise! Today was an amazing day!

Thanks everyone! I am so glad that I passed! My job has been so excited for me! I still can't believe. I keep checking the BON to make sure I haven't been dreaming all week! haha

Thank you everyone for your support! I am so happy that I passed!!!! My jobs were sooo incredibly supportive! I am so blessed!

There is no way you can predict. But I passed with 83 or 84 questions.

Stefano.. just hang in there. I too felt awful when I left. I was more than pleasantly surprised! I will send a prayer up for you! Let us know!!!

Has anyone received results today? Or are the BONs closed today and not posting results? People took their NCLEX today though right? I am wondering if I should just give up on looking tonight or if its still possible....
