    RNSuzq1 replied to ncriverrat's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi River, I think Fairly gave you a good overview of what sort of skills you need on Med/Surg (basically - everything you learned in school and more). I'm also a New Grad and started 3 months ago....

    RNSuzq1 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    RNSuzq1 replied to silverangle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi, I work on a surgical floor - I'm new and and all I know about SICU is that some of their new staff spend some time orientating on our floor before switching over. My husband's been at this...

  4. Moving to Raliegh, North Carolina

    RNSuzq1 replied to silverangle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi Silver, I work at WakeMed. If you're intested in a level 3 trauma unit, Wake is the place to go in the Raleigh area, they get most of the traumas. Other major trauma units would be at Chapel Hill...

    RNSuzq1 replied to uk student nurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    RNSuzq1 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi All, So glad I found out there's a Med/Surg site. I graduated in May and was one of the few in class that listened to our Inst. and went Med/Surg (for all the experience). This is my last week...

    RNSuzq1 replied to NurseBunky's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Pediatrics

    RNSuzq1 replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Kim, I haven't heard that. We had 5 Semesters - our 3rd was over the Summer in L&D and a short stint in Pediatrics and honestly - it was the only Semester out of the 5 that we didn't lose...

    RNSuzq1 replied to RNSuzq1's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. I can't find a job!!!!! AHAHHA

    RNSuzq1 replied to ShellGVSU's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Shell, I'm in NC and I'm guessing the way hospitals hire New-Grads here is the same way it's done in other States. They have "X" amount of New-Grad positions - people start applying for them as...

    RNSuzq1 replied to turkey sweat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RNSuzq1 replied to uk student nurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi UK, Interstate 40 is in Wilmington, I-40 is a straight shot to the Blue Ridge Mountains, you just stay on it. From Wilmington, I'm guessing it'll take you about 4 hours to be in the mountains. We...

  16. This Is Crap!!!...

    RNSuzq1 replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi All, I know the 48 hours or so we have to wait for results seem like "torture", but - if you've ever talked to a Nurse that took the NCLEX before they computerized it, you'd realize how lucky we...

  17. Feeling a little pressed for time.

    RNSuzq1 replied to Wellness RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, At the hospital that pre-hired me for an RN position, I had to tell them what my NCLEX date was because we can't start working until we pass the exam. Just my opinion - I understand you not...

    RNSuzq1 replied to healer27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  19. coping with failing the NCLEX

    RNSuzq1 replied to buddhanah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. Did you get a postition before getting a license?

    RNSuzq1 replied to Bala Shark's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RNSuzq1 replied to pri4fun's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, As May said, we can't discuss any actual questions, but I agree with her about taking your time. Also make sure you read the "entire" question so you don't miss key words - like what would "not"...
