  1. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

    MissBrittanyRN replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Holy Moly! I have always told myself that I would pay for the additional training so that I am no longer seen as a new grad...but wow now that I actually hear about it, it sounds crazy! I would have...

  2. My boyfriend gets upset when I have to study. Advice please!!!!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MandaTaye's topic in General Students

    I was fortunate not to be put into that situation because my boyfriend was very supportive, and we are very committed, so my success is his success as we plan to get married. If you don't mind my...

  3. Im not doing well on Kaplan test prep and Im terrified

    MissBrittanyRN replied to kayleebailey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At one point I stopped selecting the answer that I thought was safe/correct/true/real world and started selecting what I thought was Kaplan/NCLEX. I did every question trainer and every qbank, so I...

  4. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

    MissBrittanyRN replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Hey just a little advice to you...long shot, but hey? I cannot get work as a new grad so I sent an email asking to volunteer or just learn to two different recruiters at my first choice hospital....

  5. Is there an RN here willing to participate in my interview?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to lindsmith88's topic in General Nursing

    I would be happy to help but I have not worked as an RN yet. I have 3 years as a labor and delivery cna, and I was highly involved in patient care, if your interested. You may have better luck with...

  6. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

    MissBrittanyRN replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there! I think you are missing the basics :-) Resume and reference list! A former employer that I had an excellent record with cannot give a reference due to hospital policy. They can only say...

  7. Im not doing well on Kaplan test prep and Im terrified

    MissBrittanyRN replied to kayleebailey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just want to let you know that the decision tree did not work for me. It made sense in class, but I am convinced that the class questions were different than Qbank, and the decision tree did not seem...

  8. My boyfriend gets upset when I have to study. Advice please!!!!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MandaTaye's topic in General Students

    I don't know how to say this without sounding like a you know what, so I'll risk it. He sounds kind of immature - sorry I had a friend who was in a similar situation and she called him on his...

  9. My Clinical Instructor....What to do?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to BostonKatie's topic in General Students

    oh, hopefully not other students. needless to say that would be highly unprofessional, and against policy (at my school.) Well I was hoping that I would have enough info to formulate some ideas, but...

  10. I don't mean to whine...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to omcnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital can actually track what websites everyone is logged in. This is not a myth, it has been proven. Can yours do that? Two wrongs dont make a right anyway, so be the example and stop. I...

  11. My Clinical Instructor....What to do?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to BostonKatie's topic in General Students

    I am sorry to ask since you wanted to spare the details, but I'd like to hear them. How do you know she does not like you? That might help generate some

  12. Clinical Instructor Woes

    MissBrittanyRN replied to eyeball's topic in General Students

    I refuse to tell you what to do because I am not in your situation and I have never had to risk my spot in the competetive world of nursing school. I am sorry for what you are going through. I would...

  13. What to do now

    MissBrittanyRN replied to kachowell's topic in General Students

    You're also getting pretty close to graduation so employers may be hesitant to hire you at this point, because after they train you, you will be graduating and will most likely be leaving them after...

  14. I want a pre-nursing job but I DON'T want to be a CNA. What else should I try? EMT-B?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to springing's topic in General Students

    I am not going to repeat what everyone else already said about not doing CNA work. I am thinking you don't feel it's beneath you, but you think you already have the majority of it down, and prefer to...

  15. ICU vs CCU experience

    MissBrittanyRN replied to jorbir73's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Probably varies by program, but the program brochure from Georgetown University (well ranked program) as part of their admissions states "A minimun of one year of professional nursing experience in...

  16. Cover letter PLEASE HELP !!! NEW CNA

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Remilekun's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It is ok that you don't have experience, but indicate that you are an enthusiastic learner (only if it is true, which I hope it is :-) Also, look up the organization's mission and values. Do you...

  17. You know that you are dating/married to a nurse

    MissBrittanyRN replied to mydee's topic in Nursing Humor

    My bf gets sooo annoyed when we are just sitting there watching a movie or something and I start poking at his hand and forearm like I am choosing a vein to start his IV! Then we fight about how just...

  18. The Nclex is very very hard.

    MissBrittanyRN replied to nursing291's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do think that test taking skills are important. I feel that competent potential nurses do poorly on NCLEX because they have not been taught how to pass NCLEX, which is different than real nursing...

  19. yuckiest things to do

    MissBrittanyRN replied to misty720's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    eww do they go home and kiss their spouses after that last

  20. The Nclex is very very hard.

    MissBrittanyRN replied to nursing291's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with your statement about Saunders. I began studying with Saunders to find that I was getting at least 90% of the questions correct. Than I took Kaplan and was scoring in the 60%, but stuck...

  21. Best time to apply for externships

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

    Competition is very fierce, and an internship/externship is one of the best things that you can do to help start off your nursing career before it actually starts as an RN. Check websites every day,...

  22. What are the age requirements?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to chelsiebee's topic in Nursing Career

    BY "CRNA" do you mean certified registered nurse anesthetist? Of course do further research as I am no expert, but I do not believe that they can discriminate age for employment if you are over 18....

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Daria88's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I do not personally have a need, but I also wanted to say that it is very generous of

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    oh, i understand. it could. my college had that info available to us though. they outlined how students would be selected (scored according to the criteria i mentioned earlier. this may be a silly...

  25. L&D Nursing: How would you answer this pt's question?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to LoveLei's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am a new grad, not in L&D, but worked in L&D as a tech for almost 3 yrs. The nurses would have answered her question, the actual question the patient asked. They would have told her...
