  1. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    swirlything replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    The Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital and Disney Children's hospital here in Orlando hire new grads. I have friends who just got hired in both facilites, after graduating last month. In fact, I just...

  2. Please help me......

    swirlything replied to deepurple's topic in General Students

    I have a feeling that English is not your first language. Your spelling was bad, but your grammar was much worse; and I imagine it is because you do not have full command of the English language. If...

  3. How long for boards?

    swirlything replied to SoClose!'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    It took me almost exactly 75 minutes to do 75 questions. I took it at the same time as a friend of mine. She took the same amount of time: 75 minutes to complete 75

  4. Is Nursing school Hard?

    swirlything replied to klott86's topic in General Students

    Wow. I really have to disagree with this posting. Yes, nursing school is hard, but it's not THIS hard! You're not going to have to lock yourself away for the entire semester. If you have good...

  5. Literally just took the NCLEX and it wasn't pretty

    swirlything replied to champ01's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, I only had a few SATA's, probably 5 or 6. It shut off at 75 and I passed. So don't let that worry you. Cannot really comment on the math problems

  6. Jobs after graduation

    swirlything replied to Tua15395's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm one of the lucky few who got exactly the job I wanted. I went into nursing school to be a NICU nurse. I passed NCLEX last week and start work in a NICU very soon. I'm in Orlando. I would estimate...

  7. Do whiners make it through nursing school?

    swirlything replied to tuchipie's topic in General Students

    I just graduated. One day last year, one of the professors came in and told us how much she really loved our class. She said the class coming through behind ours is full of whiners and the entire...

  8. Traits of RNs that thrive in ICU

    swirlything replied to celclt's topic in MICU, SICU

    I'm interested to hear what experienced nurses have to say on this topic as well. I'm a new RN, and start in a NICU very soon. My complex med-surg professor, who was an ICU nurse for many years, told...

  10. Am I being too sensitive?

    swirlything replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    Like one of the previous posters, my son had a g-tube and a trach. I didn't see anything like those in these ads. I only saw a joke about deflating your flabby areas... if only it was that

  11. Nightingale Pledge and Nursing hats at pinning ceremony....

    swirlything replied to Tony1790's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Our pinning included the pledge, which I had no idea was coming until it was thrust upon us in rehearsal. I couldn't believe the wording. I am a person who believes that my word is my bond. As...

  12. Opinion about adding a class?

    swirlything replied to asc5's topic in General Students

    I took one or two extra classes all the way through my ADN program, but none of them were sciences, and most of them were online. Is A&P the only pre-req you need for the RN bridge? If so, I would...

  15. how do i become a NICU nurse?

    swirlything replied to pietrami's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I got hired into NICU straight out of school, so did a friend of mine. So at least at some hospitals, passing NCLEX is all that is

  16. Did you get any real benefit from being in the Student Nurses Assoc.?

    swirlything replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    Here, the cost of membership is greater than the benefit it supplies. Members are the only ones who get to wear cords at pinning. However, to me, cords mean nothing if they are merely purchased...

  17. What is the difference between a nursing diagnosis and a medical diagnosis?

    swirlything replied to BoyRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    The previous post is correct. I'd like to add that nursing diagnosis have to do with things that nurses have autonomy to take action about. For example, bacterial pneumonia is a medical diagnosis....

  18. I told my cousin something....

    swirlything replied to snuffyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You did nothing wrong. You spread the word after you got a call from family members about the situation. This is not a problem. This is no different than any person calling the family after an...

    swirlything posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  21. My light is dimming

    swirlything replied to rayshanna's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My favorite nursing instructor sat us all down right before graduation to have a chat. She told us that all of us, no matter how smart, no matter what type of position we take, are going to have a...

  22. Got my ATT today. Taking NCLEX tomorrow.

    swirlything replied to swirlything's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh I started studying about 2 months before I even got my ATT, so it's not as if I was unprepared. I was just psychologically unprepared because I expected to have to wait at leat a couple of weeks...

    swirlything replied to swirlything's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I studied all day in prep for taking the test the next morning. I passed. A friend took it with me, again, with only one day notice. She did not study at all that day. She passed too. And by the...

  24. NCLEX-RN: A Computer Programmer's Commentary

    swirlything replied to lancer42's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are right that you cannot KNOW how well you did and that EVERYBODY finds the test equally difficult. However you can, if you get a 75, assume that you did very well or very poorly. You can also...
