  1. New Grad in ICU

    Got a job offer in the CCU, most other techs got Unit jobs also.
  2. New Grad in ICU

    Also a side note. A lot of the nurses that work with me did cardiac stepdown for a while and then transfered. If you take a flood job go for cardiac as it seems to help a lot at least in my neck of the woods
  3. New Grad in ICU

    I am graduating in may of this year. I am a tech in the MICU at one of our community hospitals. We had 7 techs graduating and a few positions opening. They did group interviews the other day to weed us out. However, hopefully I will have a job offer ...

  8. So,which states ARE hiring Nurses?

    Chattanooga Tennessee is hiring nurses. I keep tabs on the hospital websites and they are hiring. Not like they were a couple years ago but some jobs none the less.
  9. 89.90! 1 tenth from an A :(

    I just added up my points in fundamentals of nursing and I have a 89.9 . There is no rounding and I am 2 total points (one test question on any of the 5 tests) from an A. I know I should be grateful and that some of you have a 94-100A grading scale, ...
  10. 89.90! 1 tenth from an A :(

    Thanks for the reply's everyone. Peytons mom, jbudd, and mi vida, you are absolutely correct I just want to vent. I know that there is a ton more effort that could have been put into studying for the final. However, I felt burnt out and did not stud...
  11. 89.90! 1 tenth from an A :(

    Yeah I discussed it with my clinical instructor and she went over the dropped test questions to see if they helped/hurt me. They hurt me on 2 of the test but really helped me on the final. Basically without the dropping of test questions I would have...
  12. Premonitions- I'm sure it's been covered before....but...

    I'm a first year student so I have no experience with patient premonitions but I do on occasion have life premonitions that I cannot explain. I could spout off a dozen examples over the course of my life but I dont feel like writing a book. Just a co...
  13. frustration with tests

    I just took my second test this semester and found out I got a 90(an A in or program). My first test was a 76 (C in our program). The only thing I changed study wise was I used Saunders NCLEX study book and did the tests related to the chapters cove...
  14. Low GPA looking for schools

    Might wanna try a ADN degree. I had a low GPA and could not get into our local 4 year school. However, due to a points system at the local community college (RN program, has a better rep and pass rate than the 4 year school) I was able to get in with...
  15. help!!! I can't find these answers anywhere!

    I think the smaller the mammal the faster the heartbeat answer is way too broad and not specific enough, just my opinion.
  16. help!!! I can't find these answers anywhere!

    Im going with c
  17. help!!! I can't find these answers anywhere!

    LoL, these questions look very familiar. I have the same exact questions! This is for nursing 119. Glad I found this thread as I had put a different answer on the fetal heart rate but I see what you are saying as making sense.
  18. Rolling Admission... intimate setting...

    I'm in tennessee and I got into Chatt State with a gpa actually lower than yours, www.chattanoogastate.edu They also have a 75 percent graduation rate (they dont weed students out) and last years nclex pass rate was at least a 92 (5 students havent t...
  19. couldn't hear a THING with THREE different Littmans

    I bought the electronic 3100 littman and I can hear great. It amplifies the sound. Problem is its almost 300 bucks. I have a 50 dB hearing loss and can hear fine with it if that says anything
  20. i took the teas and got a 85. i took it one time without studying. i believe studying would have allowed me to score a 90. My net test was a 81 the first time and a 91 the second with studying. moral to the story, study study study study. Take as man...
  21. Is taking a drug test embarrassing?

    I have kind of a funny story, I am a male and had my drug test recently at a local physicians care clinic. She told me to go into the bathroom and pee so I walked in and left the door open assuming that I wasnt suppose to close it. Well needless to s...
  22. Students not working while going to school....

    I'm living off my girlfriend. She pays the bills and I goto school. I pay my bills with personal loans. She pays rent and utilities. Never had a g/f before who didnt expect me to pay for everything. Kinda neat!
  23. Bad day ... Gone GOOD !!!

    What were your stats that got you in? If you dont mind me asking. CONGRATS!!!:yeah:
  24. There are 110 students in our class and I have counted at least 20 guys so far between the orientation sessions (grouped into 2's so there are probably more males) I definately wont be alone!!!
  25. If they can ask for it..they aren't too sedated...

    I'm a lowly student and my opinion is only based on my experiences from a traumatic motorcycle wreck I had years ago. I had a compound tib\fib fracture with external fixator. My pain management was similar to this girls. In my experience the dilaudid...
