  2. I need some advice

    MrRockerSN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. I need some advice

    MrRockerSN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would definitely agree with you on getting the dictation, but unfortunately the results had no been read yet. The EEG tech told us unofficially that there was nothing remarkable about the exam, and...

    MrRockerSN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you to both of you who responded. I started working in June, so a little over a month after graduation. I took a month to take the Kaplan review course and study for the NCLEX. I am familiar...

  7. Job offer advice

    MrRockerSN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You give the best advice, and I really appreciate it. I was mainly getting some heat from my family for not negotiating, but they just don't realize how fragile the employment market is right now....

  10. How to survive a 12 hour shift?

    MrRockerSN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well I'm happy to announce that I survived my senior practicum! I agree with one of the previous commentators, 12 hour shifts are a breeze. I feel nice and tired when I'm done, but I get a ton of...

  12. Do pt need to void before being d/c post MI?

    MrRockerSN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok this is sort of my last resort. I've checked my med-surg book several times and I can't find this specific bit of information. When a pt has had an MI, before s/he is discharged, do they have to...

  13. Do pt need to void before being d/c post MI?

    MrRockerSN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Definitely what I thought too. But I wasn't sure if there was a specific protocol for post MI patients that I wasn't finding. I definitely expect the pt to be voiding more than

  15. Have any males experienced what I am feeling now being in nursing school?

    MrRockerSN replied to lum917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I had a similar situation. Because I am one of the very few males in my program, I was watched more closely. The administration had many problems with my fascination with horror movies and action, and...

  16. 3rd Semester Apprehension

    MrRockerSN replied to wesmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm entering my third semester as well. I personally wouldn't dream of taking a semester off to work in a hospital. That's not even an option in my program, you have to go straight through or start...

  17. Honors in the major?

    MrRockerSN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My nursing school is really pushing this honors in the major program where you write a huge research paper. They're making it sound like it's pivotal to do this if you want to go to grad school. I...

    MrRockerSN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    MrRockerSN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
