I am seriously considering ICU to start my nursing career because all of the wonderful things I have heard, and it is a challenging job, and I love to study and learn new things all the time. At the same time, it is a very stressing place to work and...

I read your story and I feel really bad for you. That hospital must be terrible. What about travelling nursing? they paid great, pay all your expenses and you could save money to pay for your house and son. It is a sacrifice, but due to the circumsta...

Hi, can you tell us what type of questions they asked you in the interview for ER at Parkland? A friend of mine has his interview in ER in another hospital and I would like to have some idea so I can tell him. Thanks! and good luck!:)

Did you go to the interview? If so, how was it?

What do you mean that some hospitals are pretty rough? can you tell which ones? Thanks!!

Thank you very much for your reply, you are right when you mention about to improve therapeutic communication since that it is what I am trying to do everyday since I work in the hospital, and at the same time I am looking for a med/surg job in a dif...

I am a new grad that wanted to go to a med/surg area, but found a job in a psych hospital instead. I do not really liked it, but I am taking it as a new experience and I am keeping my mind open to learn something new. I am still trying to find a job ...

Somebody knows how are the benefits and the start pay for a new graduate?

Sorry to hear you did not pass, I know the Nclex is a test that you can't explain. I passed the first time with 75 questions. I did not work while preparing for the Nclex and I just focused on that. I did watch the Hurst review and I printed the book...

Can you send me the email too? Thanks!

Hi Kia, I checked the website but it shows that the position is PRN or On Call and do not pay benefits. Can you tell me if this is true?

Thank you very much for your answers, I guess I will stay there for a while until I can get a job in other hospital, but I think that as a new experience is great since in other hospitals I will not have the opportunity to see too many psych cases.

I would love to go because I love the show and that day is my birthday so it would be a wonderful gift for me. The only problem is that I would have to go alone and I don't have a group. I would like to know if somebody is having a group where I can ...

Thank you so much to all for your reply. I have a better idea now about what ICU is and of course I know that just being out of school as a new nurse is not much what we can do without the proper training. I am much confident now after reading all th...

Thank you so much for your feedback, I think that this specialty is a wonderful way to show that nurses are there to support people in their most difficult times, and I definitely I will go for ICU. :cheers:

Thank you for your reply, I can see that it was very difficult, but I am a new graduate nurse and this is for a residency, so I hope they don't start asking me very difficult questions since I don't have any experience.

Hi, congrats!!!. I would like to know what kind of questions did you had since I have an interview in two weeks in SICU and I want to be prepared. I will be interviewing with leadership from the unit like 5 people and then with peers. Thanks!

I went to the website and I put that code and the price was the same it did not change, even I put my personal information and they did charge for shipping at the end the total was like $88. Was it that what you paid? if not the coupon is not working...

Thanks so much for the list, I think that it will help. Again congrats!!!!

Congrats!!! you passed. Can you tell me where is the list that you mentioned that is posted here to help you to study? I do not know what list are you talking about since I can't find it. I appreciate it if you tell me where it is. Thanks!

I have my postpartum rotation in two days and I have to fill some papers, I will do vitals, etc. but I need more ideas in what else can I do. I have to choose two patients, one with vaginal delivery and the other one with C-section, but I will chose ...

I used Fundamental Success by Nugent Vitale for fundamentals of nursing. It is a great book and you can practice questions according your chapters. The book is divided in chapters that are similar to the fundamentals of nursing, so you can practice i...

Thank you very much for your ideas, I will definitely focus in mother/newborn father/newborn bonding and the overall situation. Appreciate your input.

Thanks for your input, I am trying to figure it out what I will do during the day, but I am pretty sure that I will love it since I love babies!!

On the left column you have 1423/J1 and is over 2504. If you do not have this part and if you are a first semester student you have to complaint and ask today at orientation about this situation because the 2504 is for second semester students. I do ...
