  1. 300 or 500 Cals during pregnancy

    dreavt replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    We learned 300 extra a day while pregnant; 500 extra while breastfeeding. That's what was in my maternity text books, and that was in the Saunders review book. Good

  2. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    dreavt replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This works in Vermont -- I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday, finished around 2 pm, when I checked the VT BON web site this morning at 10 am, there was my name with "Registered nurse -- active" next to it!...

    PS: I also didn't get a single dosage calculation question -- I was all geared for those,

  4. June 2009 NCLEX Support Group

    dreavt replied to kristin1213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just want to offer some encouragement... I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday, got 75 questions, and was pretty sure I failed. 14 (seriously, I kept track) select-all-that-apply questions, multiple...

  5. Took NCLEX RN today...pretty certain I failed.

    dreavt replied to DelanaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know how you feel, I think. I took it yesterday, too, got 75 questions, many of which seemed impossible -- I got *14* of those evil select-all-that-apply questions (after being *assured* by our...

  6. LTC vs Dr's office vs ?? for a new ADN grad

    dreavt posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi all, I'm a longtime lurker, but this is my first post. Hoping to take advantage of your collective wisdom while I make some tough decisions. I'm 37, just graduated with my ADN, this is a second...

  7. any areas of US where the RN job market is better?

    dreavt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new ADN grad in Vermont, and early job searching is not going well -- hospitals around here are hiring few if any new grads for lack of open positions. I think (hope?) I'll be able to get...

  8. LTC vs Dr's office vs ?? for a new ADN grad

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

    Thanks a lot for your replies! I am definitely not taking anything for granted at this point, and I realize I may have to take what I can get. For now, I am trying to stay a little positive and hope...

  9. Wondering why you can't get hired or promoted: Resume + Interview hints!

    dreavt replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks so much for the kind words and advice, both of you. I seriously never heard of putting a GPA on a resume until I looked at some of the samples linked to in the original thread. I've been...

  11. any areas of US where the RN job market is better?

    dreavt replied to dreavt's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! The DC/Baltimore area is appealing -- the NCI clinical center is down there, after all. Of course, have to talk my family into it... but you've given me some good food for

    dreavt replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is such a great thread with so much info -- thank you all! One question: Is it really acceptable (even expected) to put your GPA on your resume? I managed a 4.0 in my ADN program so would...

  14. States Hiring New Grads

    dreavt replied to restless09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really? That's exciting! Do you mind naming names? I haven't looked at hospitals quite that small, maybe that's the problem.... FAHC & DHMC have suspended their new grad programs, and the one...

  15. any areas of US where the RN job market is better?

    dreavt replied to dreavt's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, sadly the graduate nurse recruiter at FAHC told me this week that they are "no longer scheduling graduate nurse interviews" due to lack of staff nurse II positions. All the applicants will be...

  16. Nursing Shortage? Not Here!

    dreavt replied to newmanmom's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, no message of hope, just commiseration -- I'm a new grad in Vermont, and there doesn't seem to be a nursing shortage here either -- a nursing JOB shortage, yes. The small (100ish beds)...
