  1. Psych nursing interview...freaking out.

    Wabi Sabi replied to lizzlebizzle's topic in Psychiatric

    I think it depends on the facility. I had an interview (for a RN 1 position) where the manager asked very psych-specific questions like what is 5150, what are criteria for S&R, how would you do...

  2. Anyone left nursing TOTALLY...what are you doing now?

    Wabi Sabi replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have only been a nurse for a few months and I am already thinking about doing something else LOL. Seriously, I cannot see myself being a nurse doing all the work for 10 or 20 years. I plan to go...

  3. An eye-opening experience

    Wabi Sabi replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    The US nurses are very lucky (but sadly some of us don't even realize it). Nurses in the 3rd-world countries often work in horrible situation, receive pretty much zero respect from hospital staff,...

  4. Sell me on Psych Nursing

    Wabi Sabi replied to skinnegcCNA's topic in Psychiatric

    I don't think anyone could give you a clear answer just by writing. You should try it for yourself (per diem or part-time). Many psych patients have medical problems (HTN, DM, HIV, Thyroid, etc)....

  5. Is nursing for me?

    Wabi Sabi replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Nursing is not for everyone for

  6. new grad psych shift hours

    Wabi Sabi replied to xdelitezx's topic in Psychiatric

    Maybe you should try it and see if you are able to handle it. It might be tough in the beginning but I'm sure your body will adjust. I know jobs are hard to come by in these days and age. If it's a...

  7. Which Hospital is the best to work for in Orange County?

    Wabi Sabi replied to Nurse008's topic in California Nursing

    Any hospital that offers you a job is a good hospital (LOL). I agree with some other posters here that with this economy, any job is probably a good job (unless it's obviously

  8. Psych nurse moving to LA area

    Wabi Sabi replied to cache77's topic in Psychiatric

    It can take awhile. I have heard they had tons of application. There is actually only ONE person who handles the submitted applications. Plus, they have just recently hired a whole bunch of RNs (like...

    Wabi Sabi replied to zzsstudentmommy's topic in California Nursing

    Good luck Crisp. Don't be nervous. It's not as difficult as you

  11. Mt Sac Spring 2010

    Wabi Sabi replied to socalapple's topic in California Nursing

    HESI is not too difficult. There's a study guide out there but honestly, I didn't really prepare anything for it. Just make sure you know how to do math questions and maybe review some basic...

  12. Has anyone been accepted into the Mt. Sac Nursing Program Spring 2009

    Wabi Sabi replied to Bella39841's topic in California Nursing

    I think now they no longer accept 96 students/class anymore. It's more like 60 or something from what I've

  13. I had my 1st burn pt and I am fired up mad!!!

    Wow, you're such an awesome nurse. I have yet to see someone go as far as you have for the

  14. How Do I Challenge the LVN Board???

    Wabi Sabi replied to ayame's topic in California Nursing

    Can a nursing student challenge the LVN board? I've heard some people talk about this but no one seems to know exactly if that is possible or how to go about doing

  15. BSN private college or ADN community college?

    Wabi Sabi replied to pochacco1211's topic in California Nursing

    I would not pay $50-$60K just to get a BSN. That is way too much money for me. Plus, you can always get a BSN later on. There's no way I would want to be in that much debt. It's scary, considering the...

  16. Volunteer at CHOC or Miller Children's Hospital

    Wabi Sabi replied to maggie24's topic in California Nursing

    I was in L&D and nursery areas a few weeks ago (for Maternity rotation) and I never saw one volunteer. There was one CNA in the postpartum unit and that was it. The nursery nurses did everything...

  17. Male nurses: Are we welcome?

    Wabi Sabi replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in Male Nursing Students

  18. Can a RN work as a nursing aide/assistant

    Wabi Sabi replied to Seagate's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Can you relocate? Perhaps, you should consider moving to another

  19. Students interested in finding out about CRNAs

    Wabi Sabi replied to Divergirl's topic in General Students

    I think that is a great idea. I wish we'd have people from different specialties come and talk to us about their

  20. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    Wabi Sabi replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    It could be from stress and being overwhelmed. We had one female student cry at the beginning of the program. She was very young (19 at that time) and never had to deal with sick individuals prior to...
