  1. Is This Normal? (Long Post)

    Orange Tree replied to NewTexasRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new graduate in Texas too, and the same thing happened to me. I was also sick about it ...and I tried very hard to appease my preceptor before I realized that it just wasn't going to happen....

  2. Do nurses really "Eat Their Young"?

    Orange Tree replied to LVN2010M's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went in hoping for the best, but my preceptor (and her friends) turned out to be something pretty close to EVIL. After three weeks of stress, developing ulcers and not learning much of anything, I...

  3. Help with time management

    Orange Tree replied to JGarner37's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've had to learn not to be shy about delegating. There are never enough CNAs and they are never not busy. I just make sure to help as much as I can and to let them know how appreciated they

  4. First Nursing Job

    Orange Tree replied to rn2b10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nope! Here we take "silly" personality tests that feature vague, confusing questions....I've seen good people ruled out that way. I'm not sure how I passed

  5. First Nursing Job

    Orange Tree replied to rn2b10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Come to San Antonio if you don't have any luck. I don't know of anyone who has been asked for their GPA here. I don't even know what my GPA is. You can always get a little experience and then go...

  6. Forced to quit, now what

    Orange Tree replied to lolo2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It doesn't sound like you got a fair shot- at all. I think you should look for a new nursing position and give it another try. As new grads, we have a LOT to learn....but we also know a lot, and we...

  7. First Nursing Job

    Orange Tree replied to rn2b10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A lot probably depends on where in the world you are located. I'm in south Texas and started looking for a job a few months after graduating. I did take NCLEX before my start date, but only because...

  8. What did the interviewer ask you?

    Orange Tree replied to rn865's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I pretty much got asked all of the questions above....and I wondered if there was an evening gown competition coming up

  9. One Year.... and I am still miserable

    Orange Tree replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...she sounds lovely. Unfortunately, I'm finding out that there are a LOT of "them" out

  10. Want To Work in Psych, Should I Settle for Med-Surg?

    Orange Tree replied to Evergreen09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It might depend on the population you're hoping to work with. My mental health clincal site was a long-term institution that cared for a severely affected population. Patients would cut themselves,...

  11. If a co-worker breaks the rules...

    Orange Tree replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    It's an annoying question, but I think you have to err on the side of caution and assume the "rule" is serious. I've been asked this question in person (interview), and in that case, I answered it the...

  12. Did well on hesi, will I pass the NCLEX?

    Orange Tree replied to cincin1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I made a 994 on my HESI exit exam and passed NCLEX on my first try....but unlike some people, I thought NCLEX was a lot more difficult than HESI. On HESI, there is only one right answer out of...

  13. Who came up with the idea of 12 HOUR SHIFTS?

    Orange Tree replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I think the fewer times a patient is "passed off", the better. Twelve hour shifts make it easier to organize and get everything done.....I think. Of course my first day of work is not until tomorrow,...

  14. Orientation extended...

    Orange Tree replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    How does one "barely pass" NCLEX? Isn't it just

  15. what kind of questions do they ask in nclex pn about infection control

    Orange Tree replied to princess007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's also good to think about things like ....what type of patient(s) should a pregnant nurse not be assigned to care

  16. I took my test today and Failed!

    Orange Tree replied to IJUSTWISH's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I never worry about the small details, because I feel like it's impossible to memorize them all. Instead, I try to imagine actually being the patient and what my day/week/life would be like if I were...

  17. I just might projectile vomit while waiting for my NCLEX-RN results

    Orange Tree replied to nursgirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can't imagine......I didn't even shower and I barely got out of bed while I was waiting 48 hours for my results. I just felt so stressed that I was incapacitated. I also checked compulsively to see...

  18. what are some websites where i can go and take nclex mock test online

    Orange Tree replied to princess007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX 3500 used to be online, but it hasn't worked for a while....I don't know of anything that's like NCLEX online....I've found little "quiz" types of sites with about 10 questions, but nothing like...

  19. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Orange Tree replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have seen several on this thread who reported getting the payment screen ....and later failing There are even some people who took NCLEX multiple times....and they reported getting the payment...

  20. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Orange Tree replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tested Wednesday and was sure I failed. I even cried in my car all the way home... I saw the "trick" thread about an hour after I got home, tried it, and got the god pop up- It was the only thing...

  21. NCLEX Today...75 Questions...

    Orange Tree replied to tinybabynurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    People seem very confident with this "trick" thing and I hope for good reason.....I took NCLEX today, too. I also had tons of meds and infection control questions......very little of anything else! I...

  22. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Orange Tree replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I read the post you wrote right after you tested, and that is EXACTLY how I felt this morning when I finished my test. I'm now getting the "good" pop up, and it's giving me a little bit if hope. I...

  23. NCLEX Question!

    Orange Tree posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    The practice tests I'm doing have multiple correct answers....is NCLEX actually like that?! Those questions make me want to scream and cry....especially when I choose 3 correct answers, but not the...

  24. NCLEX Question!
