    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I used the apps outside of the hospital more then in. We could have them in the hospital if we used that part of it. But the computers and laptops in the hospital had all the drug info and it was...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    NEW GRAD NURSE - should i get a CNA???

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to studentkj's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why are you waiting so long to take NCLEX? The longer you wait the more the chance of you passing goes down. Those that take it right away have the best chance of passing. I graduated May 10th and...

    New grad applicant - being asked for too much info!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to new_grad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I should add, the exception around here to the stuff the OP was asked for is none of the local systems have asked for grades or GPA or transcripts. The board asked for transcripts to apply for our...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to new_grad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One of our hospital systems not only do you have to provide all the standard application stuff, you have to do a 100 question survey, every job you have ever worked and they warn you if you leave one...

    Chance of ADN to get a Hospital Job?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    Same here, although I am afraid of jinxing myself. Waiting is brutal! Good luck to you and make sure you update of your situation. Current students need to hear about new grads getting jobs soon after...

    Should i just "hang in there"?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to sr919's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have you tried to talk to the nurses themselves? I know it's not ideal as a new grad but maybe pull them aside and be very respectful but say something along the lines of "I understand you don't feel...

    Test Questions: When to call the doctor?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SusGob711's topic in General Students

    Usually if it's a common side effect you're fine because it's expected, an adverse reaction or the slightest hint of an allergic reaction, serious stuff you would hold and notify. Drugs that you have...

    Chance of ADN to get a Hospital Job?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    See for me it's been the opposite. I have been under the impression for the past 1-2 years that jobs are scarce and hard to get, that a hospital job probably isn't going to happen and that to find any...

    Chance of ADN to get a Hospital Job?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    I agree, I think sometimes people say they have done all they can when maybe there is a lot more they could do to be proactive. Often times they fill out an application and that's it. Then they say...

    My novel and words of inspiration to share with current students & soon to be GN!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Me too! The waiting is killer and I can't set up the other interviews until I find out if I get this one job or not. The HR lady wants to wait because my CI went and talked to her and pulled my file...

    Stop going around and peeing in everyone's cheerios. I realize you are a miserable unhappy and bitter person. But to go into everyone's happy threads to spout your negativity only looks poorly on you....
