1. NCLEX results= FAIL :(

   jesswus replied to Short-Stuff 23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   A lot of people I know took hurst review and passed. I found saunders a joke, the questions are so easy. I didn't want to spend much money so I went to the ncsbn website (people who actually write...

2. What's the issue with med surg?

   jesswus replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

   All these posts are sooooo true. I have never regularly worked m/s but float there quite often. My fellow icu nurses are always bewildered when I tell them the nurses I have the utmost respect for are...

3. A little "pick me up" for students and new grads

   jesswus replied to MICUBSNRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Curious how big your unit is? If you average a code and death per night, which means basically two codes a night something is wrong- weather it be physicians or nurses. I work at the biggest hospital...

   "In fact, LSU will not hire NSU grads straight out of school to work in their ER, but routinely hire fresh Panola grads. We graduate with ACLS straight out of school. That's just one example..." I now...

   Most right around 20 give or take and goes up with completion of ACLS and Telemetry if you don't already have them within the first month. If you don't need health benefits, can increase by as much as...

   jesswus replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

   Remember, NSU instructors are tough, they do not babysit you, there reputation is for putting your future patients first, not you, and you will be better prepared because of it. I am not going to...

   jesswus replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

   Second level is by far the worst. 3rd level is like a vacation, but the OB stuff is so boring you will be falling asleep in class. 4th level is challenging for some, the cardiac stuff presents the...

   jesswus replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

   Wow, I am sorry you had such a negative experience with NSU. The difficult thing about nursing school is the instructors are trying to teach you a different way of thinking. It is called critical...

    jesswus replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Like I said, I was not trying to be rude. As a graduate of both LSU in business and NSU in nursing, please understand that it is human nature to defend one's alma mater, so nobody on this board...

    jesswus replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    "hmm...I haven't really heard anything about the shreveport/bossier hospitals giving preference to NSU grads" Look up the NSU/WK partnership program. Regardless of your opinion of WK, they are the...

    jesswus replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Again, I am not sure where "here" is, but I don't feel like that is the case in the S/BC area, as most of the RN's working in hospitals in this area were educated at NSU. I Graduated from LSU and...

    jesswus replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I know, and have worked with people from both the Panola and NSU program, and I can tell you without a doubt the NSU program is better, and considered so by many of the hospitals in the S/BC area. WK...
