DON'T GIVE UP. FIGHT!!!!

In my facility (outpatient) we push adria. Over 30 minutes while hydration drips. Cyclophosphimide hangs in a bag after adriamycin.

Don't be afraid to jump into it. I did right after college. I love it. Seek for outpatient clinics/dr. Offices where you can grow and focus more on treatment rather than bedside care.

It's always challenging to convey to outsiders what we (nurses) do in terms that are meaningful to them. There is still a widespread belief that nurses are "helpers" to the physician, obediently and selflessly following orders. What most people (even...

I am a graduate from May 2009, but I passed my nclex in December '09, I started looking for jobs after I passed. I have not found a job either

When do you think they will start calling people for interviews. I don't want to call and bother them just because May isn't over yet. But then again i'm so eager to find out.

its true!

Take your time. I too failed twice, i passed the third time. Dont rush, because there isn't any jobs anyway....so take your precious time and study everything all over again!! Again take your time, what is the rush?

I failed the first time, I failed the second time. And while I was studying for the third time, I studied EVERY DETAIL!!!!!!! I passed the third time.
