1. Transition from Student to RN

   NurseInTheD replied to tiffanyjanae's topic in General Nursing

   I disagree - my transition (over a year ago) went very smoothly! Don't be afraid to ask questions, find a hospital with a good preceptor program for new grads, and if you can find an experienced nurse mentor, that's a huge plus. Good luck to you!

2. Toxic Healthcare Personalities

   NurseInTheD replied to Flightline's topic in Relations

   The nurse that stops working ten hours into her 12-hour shift - and you have to follow her, and it takes the first hour of your shift (at least) to clean up her mess.

   Thank you! :-)

6. Scared Silly! Help!!

   NurseInTheD replied to QuietRN's topic in General Students

   I agree completely with this! In regard to your question: Does anyone find doing the book's quizzes (in the book or on their website) to be helpful in studying? Answer: Absolutely. Forget listening to taped lectures... it's bad enough to sit t...

   NurseInTheD replied to RNShenanigator's topic in General Students

8. Any one worried about the HESI exit exam?

   NurseInTheD replied to me33's topic in General Students

   I didn't study for it... I actually forgot about it until the day before the test (oops), so I did some NCLEX practice CDs the night before, took it and got an 1100... I thought it was easy/basic, stuff that everyone should really know by the end of ...

9. My time is here

   NurseInTheD replied to it's hot in phoenix's topic in NCLEX

   ps: About your username - you are taunting those less fortunate souls who have to live in the frozen tundra of the Northeast, with me being one of those souls... haha :wink2:

10. My time is here

    NurseInTheD replied to it's hot in phoenix's topic in NCLEX

    Don't reschedule - I did, because I felt as you are feeling right now - and in hindsight, I would have been just as prepared on the original date (which was about 2 weeks earlier). Sounds like you'll do fine! And I loved your comment about walking ...

11. no pharm and no math question on nclex-pn????????/

    NurseInTheD replied to SadNBlue's topic in NCLEX

    Nope - I passed at 76, no med calc, and maybe 2 or 3 medication questions. I'll be a parrot: Know your delegation/prioritization inside and out; infection control seems to be a biggie as well, from my own experience and from what I've been hearing ...

12. Can you see your results on Saturday and Sunday?

    NurseInTheD replied to DAMomma's topic in NCLEX

    Oop, sorry, my bad... I see that you haven't taken it yet. So yes, if you take it on a Friday morning, you'll have your results by Sunday, as I did. Good luck (again)!

13. Can you see your results on Saturday and Sunday?

    NurseInTheD replied to DAMomma's topic in NCLEX

    Hey, I'm in Michigan, and I took it Friday... and got my (good!!) results today! I was wondering the same thing, but I went to the Pearson website, paid my money, and got 'em! The State gets the results after Pearson sends them, so you won't see an...

14. Doin' the happy dance for joy!

    NurseInTheD posted a topic in NCLEX

    I passed!! (My OP here) The last 48hrs have been the longest, ever... My heart was in my throat as I typed in my credit card info to get the online quick results... Hit "enter"... Didn't want to look! But I did, of course... and I saw that one bea...
