Hello ladies! I just found the the LTAC space.... I looked because I just accepted a full time position at a LTAC hospital- they have a floor in a hospital. I am nervous because all my experience is in sub-acute rehab & wounds. They offer a gr...

Hi! No advice just wanted to say hi! I am starting a new position at a LTAC mid- Aug. I am currently working as a treatment nurse in a sub- acute rehab facility so it will be a big change for me! I have only been a nurse for 3 years and am looking ...

I hate Danskos! They didn't help me at all. I prefer Alegria shoes!!! They are so supportive!

Tomorrow I start my orientation for a LTC facility..... I am excited, nervous, scared, joyful, and a few other unnamed emotions. I have been waiting 2 weeks to start out... I just have orientation to the facility on Thursday and Friday which is ...

Hmmmmmm..... I don't know about craigslist for RN jobs(I wouldn't do it!), but I would recommend the hospital/facility directly!! They all have their own careers page... Most of them you need to apply online anyway. I have used Career builder as ...

There is a whole thread on this in the student section- A poll and comments from people...... I believe it is accurate due to a glitch in the pearson website...... I know it worked for me and I found out early I passed even though I was skeptical......

Sorry if I wasn't clear... I passed the first time in February... I am starting my 1st RN job tomorrow actually. I don't have any first hand advice to share, just what I wrote about the classmate I know who didn't pass the first time. ****Edit***...

No- I am sorry I passed. A girl from my class failed so I was advising you from what she told me. I believe they will mail you something soon with areas that you need to improve. I am sorry I can't be help! How much did you study? What book/...

That is a bad sign.... Pearson Vue Trick worked for me... It wouldn't let me register after the test and I passed. but I know someone who failed and it is not the end of the world! Take some time to be upset and then get studying..... You got t...

I just started at a LTC in Michigan..... New Grad no experience RN $25/hour 2-11 shift- Great benefits too! I don't know LPN/CNA though.... sorry!

Ouch! This was quite harsh in my opinion! I think you completely miss read the situation... Perhaps try going back to re-read the original post. She stated the patient had an X-Ray and was found to have a fracture after that another resident info...

My only advice is Kill Her With Kindness! She might come around, but if she doesn't she will look bad not you. :) It sucks to have to deal with people like that!

Yippie!!! :)

I just wanted to say don't give up! I can't tell you from expeierence it will get better, but I have "heard" You learn a lot your first year our to Nursing School... Just focus on soaking up as much as you can during orientation! Don't be afraid t...

I am MI and my experience is different from OP. I was just hired in a LTC facility for PM shift, full-time starting at $25/hour with benefits. I am a brand new RN with no prior experience at all!! I start oreinetation on 3/31- Can't wait! I don't ...

I don't post much... Usually Lurk, but i wanted to give my input on the Trick! I took my exam on 2/14- Got the good pop up later that day and then 48 hours later my quick results were in as a PASS!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!

Hello all.... I am trying to make a decision! I am having trouble deciding what to do.... Ugh- I am currently in an accelerated RN program and am about half way through... I am actually at the point where I can take my LPN NCLEX if I wanted to. T...

Hey! :) I am finishing up my first semesters (fundamentals) too! :) We don't have a comp exam though! We have a few books though- Fundamentals of Nursing by Harkreader, Hogan, & Thobaben. We use this for lecture mostly and Medical Surgical...
