  3. To study or not to study????

    CVORscrubRN replied to rubato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the above. As far as not studying, only you know how comfortable you are taking tests. You know NCLEX is a different kind of test. If you're OK with that, go for it and get it out of the...

  4. What is your Holiday pay like??

    CVORscrubRN replied to ricksy's topic in General Nursing

    I was surprised by this, too, when I started in healthcare. Must be an industry thing sort of. I used to work in news, and we got paid for the holidays we were lucky enough to not work without it...

  7. Hey OR Nurses!!! A few questions!!

    CVORscrubRN replied to Madras's topic in Operating Room

    I worked as a student nurse in the OR prior to graduation. The duties are pretty much as the NM stated. You probably won't feel like you are doing many "nursing" duties. When I was a student, I helped...

  8. How many of you both circulate AND scrub?

    CVORscrubRN replied to Nolander's topic in Operating Room

    We have more nurses than techs at the hospital I work at, too, so we scrub regularly as RNs. If you are interested in scrubbing, you should definitely ask questions about that during interviews at...

  9. IUPUI Accelerated BSN 2013

    CVORscrubRN replied to Sarmjone's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I had a job lined up before graduation, and most of my classmates did as well. I recommend getting a PCI (student nurse) job when you are able to do so. If you want a hospital job anyway. IU Health...

  10. IUPUI Accelerated BSN 2013

    CVORscrubRN replied to Sarmjone's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The program is expensive. I graduated from it in 2011 with about $32,000 in loans. I didn't owe a penny from my first degree, so yeah, when I look at the student loan statement from that program, I'm...

  13. Can a registered nurse live comfortably with their salary?

    CVORscrubRN replied to Heath9672's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    First, let me say that I respect everything all before me has said about watching credit card debt, staying on track with a budget, putting money away for the future, etc. But the poster wants a Mini....

  14. Where to go from Circulating?

    CVORscrubRN replied to Jgruber215's topic in Operating Room

    Excellent question! I can't offer any insight, as I started in the OR as a new grad at 32 years old as well. Once off orientation in a few months, I'll be 33. At our hospital OR we have quite a few...

    Hahaha ... True

  17. No more fun scrubs

    CVORscrubRN replied to EJBNeuroRN's topic in General Nursing

    Be thankful your hospital is giving you some money to reimburse. Mine is mandating a uniform change in July, and not giving us a cent to buy new. I am a new grad, so I had to buy the current color...

    CVORscrubRN replied to luckymeson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're not the only one. I took the exam on Thursday the 26th and still nothing. Ended up paying for my results even though everyone told me before that you wouldn't have to because Indiana updates...

    CVORscrubRN replied to joannamdv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PS - As far as the nails, when I started reading, I did think it seemed like an odd worry ... But I guess I agree with others. You're going to be on edge enough on test day. I'd remove them to not...

    CVORscrubRN replied to joannamdv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No kidding! How was the poor woman supposed to see to read the questions!? I usually wear contacts, but decided to wear my glasses on test day because I didn't want the possibility of having an...

    Teboz: I am in Indiana, too, and understand what you are talking about. Every time I called, they told me my case worker was on vacation. Well, that is great for her, but DISTRIBUTE HER APPS TO OTHERS...
