  1. Trying to figure out how the interview went!!! Help -- Long post

    itsmejuli replied to trimeduRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If I was in your shoes I'd take the contract job offer since its a sure thing. You have bills to pay, 13 weeks of solid work is better than nothing even if its not what you want to do. Don't try to...

  2. Does anyone dislike the medsurg clinical experience?

    itsmejuli replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    I had a patient like this on med/surg. He was an older gentleman just lying in the bed. I was there to give him a bed bath. He was skinny and dirty, wherever he came from they hadn't been doing a good...

    itsmejuli replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

  7. HELP!!!!! Denied a job because of background check, which was all wrong!!

    itsmejuli replied to MyLove4FL's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow, another Florida government screw up and nobody will help you. Disgusting and typical of this wonderful state of ours. If I were in your shoes I'd find my local state gov representative and go to...

  8. All classroom, no lab???

    itsmejuli replied to dee78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hmm, interesting and definitely another point to investigate for those who haven't started their schooling. At the school I attended for LPN we had excellent labs with a dedicated lab instructor. We...

  10. Head to Toe Assessment Help

    itsmejuli replied to fwardlaw147's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ohh, now your question makes sense. I would chart the location of the bag, the amount of fluid it contains, the condition of the tubing, verify and chart if the catheter is in place correctly, the...

    itsmejuli replied to TeamSteven01's topic in School, College Programs

  13. Head to Toe Assessment Help

    itsmejuli replied to fwardlaw147's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm sure the only time I've seen an "overhead irrigation system" was in a greenhouse where vegetables were grown in hanging pots. Perhaps your patient is in a vegetative

  14. Getting ripped off with clinical experiences...

    itsmejuli replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Students

    Its unfortunate that your clinical experience hasn't been the best, but like the others said there's nothing you can do about it. I live in a large metropolitan area with several hospitals and a few...

  15. Tampa, Fl RN salaries??

    itsmejuli replied to Student_Michelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    Pay tends to be higher where the cost of living is higher, just because you're earning more doesn't mean you'll have more money in your pocket. If you read the boards you'll see that there is a job...

  16. Galen St Pete, Fl

    itsmejuli replied to NursePunkinz's topic in Florida Nursing

    Galen is a private college so if you get RN there you won't be able to transfer most of the credits to a public college for BSN. You'd have to find a private college that accepts Galen

    Is it a 2 yr ADN program? How much is it costing you? How long has the program been in existence and what is their NCLEX pass rate? Lots of questions I know. I'm attending a public college for RN....

    itsmejuli replied to Justanotherday's topic in General Students

    itsmejuli replied to mjjgirl7's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For me and many others the best way to study for nursing exams is to practice questions from an NCLEX book such as the one by Saunders. There are thousands of questions on the cd that comes with the...

    itsmejuli replied to proudpops's topic in General Students
