i am trying to find another job either part time or PRN. so wish me luck. i figure the hospitals will take me a little bit more seriously now that someone else in healthcare has hired me and that i no longer have a temp license, and actually have a real RN! wahoo!
Thanks for the heads up. You know what's funny though, i did not have one math question on my boards! I have a job now, but it isn't in critical care like you in the MICU. No math test there. It must only be a hospital thing, or maybe policy? I am going to have to ask the few girls lucky enough to actually obtain hospital jobs who graduated with me in may.
I am glad you are more comfortable with the math. I know all it took was practice practice practice! They tend to put alot of things in the math problems that you have to over look before you decide what you need to plug into a formula. good luck! I know i was lucky enough to have Ms Jones teach the math to us, and she was very good about it! I am thankful to have that all behind me, and boards! If i did it, i'm pretty sure you can too!
I graduated in May 09. I would say the hardest semester was definately second. But since then, they have split Peds/OB into two seperate classes. When i had to take it we had to learn it all with adjusting to the new medsurg!
