  1. What to do with people who think they know nursing?

    neonatal_nurse replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    When I hear these sort of stories I always say: "They think they know, but they have no idea." To make conclusions about nursing or being a nurse based on television shows or media is unfair. And to...

  2. Letting them get to me..HELP!!!!

    neonatal_nurse replied to Shell5's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Unfortunately you have to maintain a harmonious relationship with them since you guys work together, and you can never work alone. While these people have been there longer than you, that doesn't give...

  3. I am almost finished

    neonatal_nurse replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow finally an inspiring message! But remember there are still bigger challenges ahead of you so be ready. Good luck and keep the faith!

  4. Job Interview confusion

    neonatal_nurse replied to NICU Nic's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congratulations! Both on your passing the nclex and the interview! :) There is a big possibility that they may take you in. Be thankful for that. And what the hell, this is your dream area! So do you...

  5. Job Offers

    neonatal_nurse replied to LifelongDream's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I so agree with the others! I would suggest that you go to that postpartum interview and be open to what they have to offer you. And if they ask you about where you really want to be assigned, be...

  6. RN... Feeling Bad

    neonatal_nurse replied to mmm9986's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hey, don't feel so bad. So you had setbacks. That's okay. Sometimes in order to get where we want, we need to take the long road. There are no shortcuts contrary to what others may think. If you...

  7. Pls,,can you give me some advice? I need help..=(

    neonatal_nurse replied to keane11's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, you should've taken the local exams in the Philippines. What will happen if you can't find a job as a nurse in San Francisco? California now requires submission of license for foreign...

  8. Need Help...

    neonatal_nurse replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    Relax, dear. Yes you are right-- you need to answer more questions! 2k is a small number. Do as much as you can in a day. And concentrate on why you got others wrong, write it down so that you'll...

  9. New here and NOT expecting this!

    neonatal_nurse replied to RNjz's topic in General Students

    Hello and welcome to our world! :) First of all, congratulations! This is what you want, the path you want to take, it's here so make the most out of it. Second, do not be scared! It's okay to not...

  10. so when are you "ready'?

    neonatal_nurse replied to Mich2009's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The secret is really to answer as much questions as you can. 150 a day is a good number. You should do this or more if you can. And also, try to use other q and a books/references as kaplan questions...

  11. NICU- how much math?

    neonatal_nurse replied to dfike's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Basic math! I hate math too.

  12. Nurses need to be tall and beautiful???

    neonatal_nurse replied to Lucia cong's topic in International Nursing

    It's unfair to hire people based on their looks in this profession. However, yes, it happens and is continuing to happen as we speak. Most companies who hire "pretty" nurses are usually clinics, spas...

  13. I am not a nurse yet, but this seemed appropriate here.

    neonatal_nurse replied to prettyindecent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    you're young. we're young. enjoy life! don't take yourself too seriously, otherwise you wouldn't have much fun. just read on your basics and do the things you like to do. because once you're working,...

  14. still cant get a hang on time management

    neonatal_nurse replied to frankiern's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What your feeling is perfectly normal. We've all been there. If we survived it, so will you. You have to develop your own "strategy" with how you deal with your patients to be faster. Like, get to...

  15. a little discouraged

    neonatal_nurse replied to Lazosparadeo's topic in General Students

    First of all, you are a strong person. You've gone this far and been through so much. Would this be the time when you'll turn your back on your dream? Count your blessings, dear. You have someone to...

  16. freaking out

    neonatal_nurse replied to tabswifeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow! ICU huh? You should brush up on the basics plus read about critical care nursing. That would help you a lot. Also, attend your seminars like BLS, ACLS etc. as you will need them when you start....

  17. Which is better KAPLAN CLASSROOM COURSE or ONLINE COURSE ONLY?

    neonatal_nurse replied to jylyn8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I personally think that NCLEX-RN is an exam that you should put individual input into. I did not join the Kaplan online course, or the video nor did i had any sessions with them, i just used the book,...

  18. Safe Nurse Patient Ratio

    neonatal_nurse replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Nursing

    You will really be overwhelmed when you begin, but you'll get used to it as time goes by. You will then learn how to use your nursing skills quickly, prioritize and delegate. These are the things that...

  19. How do you stay organized?

    neonatal_nurse replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow Congratulations!!! :) Do you wear scrubs at least? Most scrubs have multiple pockets so you can stuff your "gadgets" in them. Some clerks in our hospital use belt bags (a small one) so they have...

  20. I'm in! How am I going to pay for this?!

    neonatal_nurse replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Try to inquire if there are scholarship grants in your school. There are times when they don't advertise it. Ask people in the academe- like your dean if they are offering one. When I was in nursing...

  21. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    neonatal_nurse replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I certainly agree with awsmfun. It takes a special person to be in this field. Yes the monetary aspect is one of the major (if not the number one reason) reasons for pursuing nursing but actually...

  22. Did the Kaplan strategies/decision tree help in answering questions on the NCLEX RN?

    neonatal_nurse replied to 2bNurse4life4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes. But I think before going into kaplan, try practicing other q and a's as well to enhance your nursing knowledge like saunders, lippincott, etc.. and try to answer as many practice questions as you...

  23. full assessments vs. monitor vitals

    neonatal_nurse replied to nicu4me's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Always assess before doing (or not doing) any intervention. Just to be safe, than sorry.

  24. I am not a nurse yet, but this seemed appropriate here.

    neonatal_nurse replied to prettyindecent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm so sorry to hear that. But the great thing is you now realize how life can change in an instant. You are still lucky to be living the life you want and doing the job that your heart desires....

  25. Do people treat you different when they find out you are a nurse?

    neonatal_nurse replied to beachbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    When I tell people that I'm a nurse, they're like, "Wow." Just like Otessa, this reaction not only pertains to the money aspect of the job, but the respect they have for nurses. After all, these days...
