  1. How many pre-req classes did you still have to take when you applied?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    I was in a traditional, not accelerated ADN program, but if we did not have our prerequisites done, we did not get accepted, and I think that is actually a blessing, because nursing school is intense,...

  2. Semester 3 and I know nothing???!!!???

    MissBrittanyRN replied to ldyjstce's topic in General Students

    This is lonngggg and may steer away from your original questions a bit, but I think this is valuable.... I don't have anything to tell you other than what everyone else will tell you when they reply...

  3. Calling all once-upon-a-time ER new grads!

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

    Thank you for

  4. What's the job market like in Texas?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to TeleNurse2010's topic in Texas Nursing

    FYI, I don't know much about it but I have heard horror stories about a company called "GroupOne" which is used my many Texas hospitals, particularly the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Something about...

  5. Should I take a job at an urgent care clinic for experience?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to natsirt21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, just got your other message. That is great advice. I have every intention of getting additional certifications, but they are pretty expensive, so I need to work to pay for them lol. That is an...

  6. Should I take a job at an urgent care clinic for experience?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to natsirt21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the reply. I do not know a lot about it yet, because my interview has not come around. However from speaking with a tech who works there who is also very new to the center this is what I...

  7. Am I a backstabber or just a concerned co-worker?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My concern is not the questions that she asks. Of course I have not experienced this situation or new grad first hand, but from my reading, this is what I gather. She is dishonest - lied about...

  8. Not properly trained for ER?????

    MissBrittanyRN replied to bassadict69's topic in Emergency

    Hey Emergency dept. new grads, I am not biased against new grads working in the ER, but I have a question about how you feel prepared. Of course an excellent orientation goes a long way, but there is...

  9. Where should I do my Senior Practicum?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to dance2it101's topic in General Students

    I agree with "work in progress" because it pertains to the type of nursing that you want to do and it is always good to see how the labor and delivery affect the newborn, etc. Plus you may have an...

  10. Let's introduce ourselves...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow.... I am Brittany and I am a May 2009 ADN graduate. I have almost 3 years experience as a labor and delivery patient care technician II (cna with specialized training - PCTII may be a regional...

  11. Am I a backstabber or just a concerned co-worker?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    And I agree with what BabyLady said about the gossip. She probably has told others, and you may be surprised when you go to management, as they may have already heard from another employee, but I...

  12. Am I a backstabber or just a concerned co-worker?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am concerned that this person will be caring for patients that deserve the best care, and I don't like the idea of waiting for her to mess up (which I believe she will) while caring for clients. I...

  13. Should I take a job at an urgent care clinic for experience?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to natsirt21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey natsirt21, I think we are in similar situations. Are you a new grad having difficulty getting into a hospital or residency program? I have been seriously considering an urgent care RN position,...

  14. Not properly trained for ER?????

    MissBrittanyRN replied to bassadict69's topic in Emergency

    Hey foreverLaur, there's no such thing as "only a tech"

  15. I lost my job

    MissBrittanyRN replied to tabswifeRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am sorry that I don't have any additional advice, but I just wanted to say that I am really truly sorry for what you are going through right now. I wish I could tell you something that you don't...

  16. Insecure new grad and urgent care orientation. Your thoughts please?

    MissBrittanyRN posted a topic in Emergency

    Sorry this is soooo long, but please help!: It is probably premature to start this thread before my interview, but I am very concerned about what my orientation may be like. I am a new grad and I...

  17. I cant start IV's!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Creamsoda's topic in Emergency

    Call us crazy, but the nurses were so wonderful about letting me practice on them when I was training as a patient care tech (of course it benefited them, because I could start their IVs :-) . And I...

  18. Insecure new grad and urgent care orientation. Your thoughts please?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Emergency

    I have considered long term care, but I have been told that I probably would not get good experience. I should look into it though, as that is one of the few types of facilities that I have not...

  19. All the Nurse Residency Programs you ever wanted

    MissBrittanyRN replied to creative scholar's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree that 12 months is not too long. I am a new grad, and call me insecure (because I am to a point) but I will gladly take all of the training possible to be the best nurse that I can be, to...

  20. Working in the urgent care..

    MissBrittanyRN replied to alvernvern's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    alvernvern, It has been two years since you posted your message. Just curious to see if you are still on allnurses, and if so how did urgent care work out for you? I am a new grad and hesitantly...

  21. I am afraid to admit that I am a registered nurse!

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

    I understand. Were you an LPN before you earned your RN license? I am just curious, because I would like to work as an LPN, as the job market for RNs in my area is terrible, but I do not have an LPN...

  22. Insecure new grad and urgent care orientation. Your thoughts please?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Emergency

    I agree, and oh my the truth hurts. I do appreciate everyone's honesty, so thank you so much for replying - and so quickly! My true concern from the beginning has been what JoPACURN said about...

  23. I cant start IV's!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Creamsoda's topic in Emergency

    Sorry if I am repeating what was already mentioned ( I have not gone through all of the previous messages) As terrible as it sounds, when a patient tells me that they are a hard stick and everyone...

  24. What should I bring to an interview?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to jo716's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have copies of excellent performance evaluations from previous employers, that would be nice to have, if an appropriate time occurs that you may offer them. You would have to be creative about...

  25. CNAs in L&D

    MissBrittanyRN replied to prisicruz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    again, not currently working, but it has only been 3 months since i left. we got to do a lot, and it is great experience, especially if you want to become an L&D nurse. the cna's were highly...
