    november17 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 27 year old male, I'm also blessed/cursed with the fact that I still look like I'm 18. I have always been pulled over a lot, sometimes for no reason (getting stopped, asked for my license/reg,...

  5. This is a very toxic Environment!

    november17 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here is a lesson I learned early on as a nurse aide in a similar toxic workplace- See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. If you hear other nurses badmouthing someone, go out of earshot because you...

  6. Your Average kaplan or Saunders Scores before Passing NCLEX

    november17 replied to LoveNursing1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hit 65% w/ kaplan. I was quite a bit nervous about it because the book suggested I review more. However, I nailed the NCLEX anyways. I honestly don't think the kaplan book was very much like the...

    november17 replied to Ms.Rosewood2003's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I totally agree. The only thing that really helped me at all was the kaplan test taking strategies. None of the review or anything helped me very much except it jogged my memory a

  12. Took NCLEX-RN today! Shut off at 75

    november17 replied to NeoNurseTX's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, I took mine on the 10th too (that's why I just happened to be browsing the NCLEX forum). It was terrible and I'm about 90% sure I failed. There's that 10% of hope, but I don't think I did very...

    I took mine the 10th (today) and I don't think I passed. I know that a common theme. I think I had 130 questions but I stopped paying attention to the counter after I hit 110. I don't care...I'm...

    Hi there ortho/neuro GN buddy. I just started as an orth/neuro GN as well. We're in the same boat! What do you think so far? I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Probably one of the best jobs I've ever

    november17 replied to Ms.RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  19. Failing NCLEX While Working as a GN

    november17 replied to heywazzupdude's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The hospital I just got a job at allows you 45 days or "as soon as possible" to retake the NCLEX if you fail it the first time. I'm assuming you continue working as a GN until you can retake

  20. Nursing Student HATES Nursing Assistant Job

    november17 replied to PeachyERNurse's topic in General Students

    It sounds like the place where you work is the problem. I hated my CNA job when I was pre-nursing - mostly related to recurring issues and stress with my coworkers. I found much more hospitable...

    november17 replied to bcyogi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Full time is a requirement for new grads? That's news to me. I just had my first interview today and the interviewer said it was cool if I wanted to work part time. Different strokes for different...
