I have no idea what it was about but I highly doubt its a test about hipaa. Lol i'm not breaking any laws with doctors names. I did walk out of there with a wth was this all about....every question started with "how do you do this at your current job...

I just had an interview in a city 40 miles away from my current job. They wanted me to list some of the surgical doctors i work with at my current job....i thought that was odd. After listing a few, i had to ask, "do you them?" Of course the answer w...

Omg...this article brings me back to my first yr in nursing....horrible horrible. I had a preceptor I hated because she yelled at me for every mistake I made, was too slow, or just because and in front of all the other nurses. I would go home and cr...

Psyche dr once wrote an order to send pt back to guatemala...lmao

Hmmmm let me tell you my story with Kaiser. I was interviewing with alot of different hospitals as a new grad. The interview with Kaiser felt really good....they finally called me. HR told me I got the position, started taking my RN license number ...

Thought I'd share this hilarious story before I go to bed. My mom was having stomach pains so my dad took her to the ER. I was scheduled to work but got a call from my dad saying my mom was in ICU and her BP was in the 80's! Of course I'm freaking...

She is not hard at all. You just have to do the work. She gives you the test before the test and you just gotta find the answers (work as a group). Up to you but I didn't find the class difficult at all.

I got in right away. I would leave my options open and apply to all the schools!

ELAC is East Los Angeles College

ELAC has physiology for the summer and its like 16 weeks or less. Take with Canales. Alot of work but easy!!!!!! I know...at ELAC??? But they take anyone cuz alot of people drop (at least when I took it there). Plus, if you do your work and study,...

Are you kidding me? Sleep during nursing school!!!!! That is unheard of! lol The instructors are very demanding. Some a little more than others. If you get accepted, let me know! I can direct you to the right instructors that are awesome and F...

This is soooo true! I have messed up many times due to anxiety! One word of advice that helps me, make a clinical checklist! This checklist could include med times, accu checks, charting, checking lab values, I & O's, etc. Follow the checklist...

I just graduated from Cypress College. When I applied, I had a B in micro and A's in anatomy/physiology. = 22 points. Didn't you go to the application orientation? They usually break down the scoring system for you. If you didn't go, give the he...

Okay, I just graduated from my nursing program. My GPA was a 3.4 throughout my nursing program. I'm was just wondering, if you failed the NCLEX the first time, how were your grades during your nursing program and why you felt you failed your 1st at...

Hi Kida! Thanks for sharing your experiences. Wishing you the best of luck and just remember, you know more than you think, otherwise you wouldn't have passed the nursing program. Btw, what happened to the job you had lined up. Did they hold for y...

Hi! Welcome. This site is awesome!

Just wondering how common this is. Has anyone ever had their head fall asleep like how an arm or a leg does?

No, I'm talking about the head. Sometimes the front of it, sometimes the back of the head. Now that I think about it, there was a time in my life where I kept fainting for no reason but it doesn't occur anymore. Just the numbness.

I've done exactly what you did. Still no job offer!!! I don't think my interviews are bad because I usually get a 2nd interview. Hmm....wonder what I'm lacking....

I am in LA/OC area and there is definitely a lack of jobs for New Grads. It's very competitive for a New Grad position! Most hospitals are on a hiring freeze or there will be 250 New Grads applying for what few positions are available per hospital. ...

As a nursing student about to graduate, I have witnessed MDs yelling at nurses too. It is really quite frightening but I was quite impressed by how the nurse handled the situation. She was calm and didn't become defensive. I guess there is no reason...

I have 2 kids (11 & 13 y.o.) when I started my nursing program. It was really hard and they were so old already. Although, it may be easier for you if you have a partner (I am a single mom). It's definitely do-able but there will be times you ...

What semester are you? From my experience (don't know if this is expected for anyone else), when writing care plans, always ask yourself how and include it and when (q2h, q4h, etc.) List the medication you are giving to help with that diagnosis and ...

I keep hearing about all these students who fail their 1st attempt with the NCLEX. My instructors make it sound like if you've been getting decent grades in your program, you should be able to pass your first attempt. How were your grades in your nur...
