So my first interview was ultimately a nightmare. It was for an Office RN position at a busy family practice associated with a big hospital. Met first with HR, and it went well. I then was asked to meet with the office manager as it seemed they we...

Hi RN's I need some advice. So I am a new RN who just graduated and passed the boards. I worked full time in nursing school and excelled academically and in the clinical setting without any issues (I have a 3.6 GPA). I will be continuing on for my RN...

I'm not looking down on medical assistants at all, but i dont feel it to be appropriate to solely rely on them for all my training and to be checked off on all my skills.... yes, there's alot I can learn from them but there are major differences in o...

2 docs & 2 NP's. Busy family medicine clinic. Medical assistants work up pts, vitals, EKG's and blood draws, order supplies.

So I just received my grade for my first nursing exam....85, which was the mean for the class. I'm a little dissapointed as I got A's in all of my pre-reqs prior to taking nursing 101. Hopefully, as I get used to the format of the testing, my scores ...

Wow, either your Einstein or your school has some poor performance and low NCLEX pass rate! I've never heard nursing school is easy.....

For my nursing 101 class, we are required to do the 2 step method for measuring bp. I had the most difficult time finding a brachial pulse and a even a radial pulse on my lab partner (who is obese). Even my instructor had a difficult time! I work i...

Will try that guys! thanks!

I have clinicals on Sat starting this fall for Nursing 101; so does this mean I need to go to my clinical site every week the Friday before? I am doing the evening program.

Congrats on your upcoming graduation! How was the program in general; professors, classes, clinicals, etc? I'm starting Nursing 101 this fall and wanted to get a head start on material and was wondering what I should focus on? I've heard about th...

I'll be doing the evening ADN program as well! I'll be doing clinical on Sat, and theory/lab Mon and Wed.

I'm not sure where you got your stats from, but Rivier certainly doesn't have the lowest passing rate. They actually are doing great. Check out the link below: http://www.nh.gov/nursing/education/documents/January2010RollingQuarterRNPassRates.pdf

Hi, I too was accepted into the Associate evening program and will be starting clinicals this fall! Have you already registered for class yet? I decided to do my clinical on Saturday. :)

I currently work full time, and I am starting nursing school this fall. I will have to work full time, because I own a home and have bills, therefore, I have no choice. Luckily, the program that I got accepted to has an evening/weekend program whic...

Thanks!! Good luck!!:)

In all honesty, no. Most people w/ a 3.0 don't even get in. If you haven't started your nursing pre-reqs such as A&P, micro, etc, I would recommend taking those and trying your hardest to get all A's to boost your chances. Nursing school is ve...

I submitted my application in NOV 09 and received my acceptance letter on Christmas Eve! Def a great Christmas gift and made my holiday even more special! I had to read the letter 3 times because I didn't believe it! I worked really hard, receive...

and I assumed you passed the boards! =)

I'm starting the nursing evening program this fall! The NLN wasn't too bad. I purchased the prep book, and it definitely helped alot as I got good scores

I just got accepted into nursing school and I'm very excited! The next step is applying for financial aid/loans. I'm alittle anxious about that. How was that process for everyone else? Was it smooth? I'm alittle worried about getting financial a...
