  1. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    whichone'spink replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finished my test an hour ago, and did the PVT. I got the good pop up. I was scheduled for 8:00-2:00 so I will next check after 2:00. Sent from my iPad using

  2. Just took nclex today and I feel cheated

    whichone'spink replied to Sejl90's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not sure what to feel. I just finished the NCLEX at 75 questions, and I feel uneasy about it. It's an ambiguous feeling really. I know getting 75 questions is not an automatic pass. I either...

    whichone'spink replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL, I've used that line before, when I'm the one getting stuck with a

  4. What valuable experiences did you take away from Nursing School

    whichone'spink replied to mom_coach_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Quiet people are also looked at as socially awkward, and some people go out of their way to bully perceived quiet people. In nursing school, I've learnt to be a little less quiet, but I still have...

  5. What are your thoughts on Disney or AIDET "customer service" training?

    whichone'spink replied to marie-francoise's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    On my floor, there was a nurse who I would say was the most dangerous nurse out there. This particular nurse was known for making bad mistakes that put patients in danger, all the time. The shift...

  6. CEN requirements?

    whichone'spink replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

    I bought a CEN review book when I took an Emergency Nursing class in school, because my instructors said they pulled test questions from CEN questions. Trust me, you'd be better off getting ED...

  7. Heart Stop Beating - man lives without heart

    whichone'spink replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Not anymore. He got a transplant earlier this year: Dick Cheney Heart Transplant: Former Vice President Recovering After Undergoing

  8. Joining the military and getting pigeon-holed

    whichone'spink posted a topic in Government, Military

    More and more, I am thinking of joining the military as a nurse. But I had a question about joining while I'm still a fresh new grad or joining when I have more experience under my belt. I want to...

  9. When did wearing a stethoscope become popular

    whichone'spink replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    I have a holster for it, because I don't want my germs on

  10. Is It Just Me?

    whichone'spink replied to Mijourney's topic in General Nursing

    Truth to power. To the OP, I think you got your answer to your original question. I want to be loyal to employers, but the reality is, if I don't look out for my interests, no one else

  11. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    whichone'spink replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    *raises hand*. And I've worked with doctors who have asked me why I chose nursing over medicine. Please don't ask me. But I don't plan to stay in nursing for too long. PA is a happy medium between...

  12. Nursing Interviews: Basic Post-Interview Etiquette

    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    True. Besides, the way the Board of Nursing is, it will be several weeks before my license posts after I pass the NCLEX (that is IF I do). I may not be eligible for the July cohort despite my...

  13. Nursing Interviews: Basic Post-Interview Etiquette

    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It was more or less an interview, though not like a real interview. The managers I talked to had a questionnaire, and rated answers on a scale of 1-5. And both managers took a copy of my resume....

  14. memorial health Co springs new grad

    whichone'spink replied to hgerun's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, it's been 2 weeks since the interview fair. For those who attended, have you heard anything back from managers at this

  15. Nursing Interviews: Basic Post-Interview Etiquette

    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What if an interviewer does not want to give a timeline for when I would hear back from them? It's been two weeks since I interviewed with two managers at the massive interview fair for new grads....

  16. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    whichone'spink replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This BS article and others in this vein are just giving hiring managers excuses to not hire people, especially those in their 20s. While some young 20-somethings are exactly as described in the above...

  17. How to deal with overbearing doctors?

    whichone'spink posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Two days ago, I interviewed with two managers at one local hospitals new graduate interview fair. One of these managers was from the ICU. It was a very interesting interview, more of a conversation...

  18. How to deal with overbearing doctors?

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thanks for the feedback. In an interview that was less than half an hour, I am still pretty sure I gave a decent answer, and all the pointers you guys gave comes with experience. I just hope that in...

  19. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    whichone'spink replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I certainly wish I had that sort of competition at the new grad fair I went to. About half the people there were people I graduated with and for the most part, they have their heads screwed on

  20. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    whichone'spink replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, this was definitely not how new grads at the interview fair I went to dressed. All of them, me included, were dressed professionally. And for the most part, it was quiet, except for all the...

  21. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    whichone'spink replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, if hospitals can mandate that employees receive the flu vaccine even though it's not state or federal law, they could stoop to that level and require workers to have chips implanted. But we're...

  22. Obama health care law upheld.

    whichone'spink replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, I believe this will suck for nurses. Hospitals will get less and less (already happening) for care provided, and therefore that means nursing jobs will still be hard to come by. Maybe there will...

  23. Do you have to be tough to work in ED?

    whichone'spink replied to nurse_k29's topic in Emergency

    Yes, and be prepared to get stabbed in the back by those who perceive you as "weak". They'll kill you. It's not worth it to get a job in the ED unless you feel confident you can be as vicious as the...

  24. Will paying for ACLS etc myself help me land a job?

    whichone'spink replied to whatdoIdonow?'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    My current manager did not pay for my ACLS certification, even though she knows I have graduated and will get my license soon. She wanted to pay for more established nurses (rather than someone in...

  25. memorial health Co springs new grad

    whichone'spink replied to hgerun's topic in Colorado Nursing

    If it pushes out the start date, it's better. Many people have been evacuated from the western part of the city, and that would possibly delay them getting licensure. And also keep in mind, people...
