    anashenwrath posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello! I am preparing to start sending out my resume and would love some feedback. I've used this template with success as my non-nursing resume for the last ten years, but this is the first time I'm...

    Monroe Community Hospital (Rochester)

    anashenwrath posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hello! I am a new grad with an ADN (planning to advance that degree asap) living in New York City. I've always planned on moving out of the city so I'm looking at my options now. High on my list is...

    KAPLAN VS NCLEX

    anashenwrath replied to tshyshko's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree it was very similar. I really liked Kaplan. The questions were very similar and the layout is similar as well. I thought the Kaplan questions didn't have enough SATAs, hotspot questions, etc....

    NCLEX Tips - One I Never Knew

    anashenwrath replied to futurebsn2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think that's true. You're not allowed to start writing on the board until they say so (info dumping), but once the test starts, you can write whatever you need whenver you need it. I don't...

    Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

    anashenwrath replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

    My program told everyone to buy (the most recent ed, of course), but I rented and had no problems. I take notes while reading text, so it worked out for me. And I found most of my classes relied more...

    NCLEX Tips - One I Never Knew

    anashenwrath replied to futurebsn2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I 100% thumbs up #1 and 2. Your brain NEEDS to take a break to help with long-term retention. If you have the time, take a break in the middle of your study schedule (eg, I had 3 months to study, and...

    does anyone know how much hospitals pay an rn in rochester ny?

    anashenwrath replied to pinkxoxo's topic in New York Nursing

    Rather than make a new post, I'd like to bump this one. I'm a new grad and thinking of moving back home to Rochester. Any recommendations on hospitals that are good for hiring new grads? Additionally,...

    Why isn't this a HIPAA issue?

    anashenwrath posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm a new grad, so I'm sure there is a reason why this isn't considered a HIPAA violation, since I assume a hospital has a better sense of HIPAA than a new grad. Let me explain: I'm looking at a...

    Any one who took nclex from NY bon

    anashenwrath replied to deepu245's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Same as Zoey: My NYBON results showed within 24 hours, quicker than Pearson, which was a nice save of $8. Pearson results were available about 48 hours later. EDIT: my license arrived about a week...

    What is the BUN normal level for the nclex?

    anashenwrath replied to swansonplace's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did 8-20. Because "8" looks like a "B" to me. And then i just imagined you could fit up to 20 cinnamon buns in my oven. I'm all about the mnemonics! But yeah, they're not testing that you know the...

    If you could "do over" one thing about nursing school, what would it be?

    anashenwrath replied to justjohn's topic in General Students

    I wish I had gone for a BSN instead of ASN. Even though I have a BS, and it bugs me to get another one, BSNs are definitely at an advantage in the job market. I also wish I had been more.......

    Does this bother anyone else?

    anashenwrath replied to DawnJ's topic in General Students

    If we had low pt load, we'd either team up 2 students to a patient (and believe me, that pt got hotel-caliber treatment with two students fawning over them!) or we'd have little assignments--like...

    There has to be an easier way....

    anashenwrath replied to Lpn2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an ADN and wish that I had gone for a BSN. The prospects are a lot better. I have a BS in Biology already, which is why I didn't want to get another one. But especially in competitive areas (I'm...

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Haha, thanks everybody! I ended up faxing it over today (thank you Staples!) with the application, cover letter, and resume. Since I doubt they got the snail mail version yet, I'm hoping someone comes...

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ugh. Applying to my first hospital job. I spent all day yesterday painstakingly filling out an online application, which had to be faxed or snail-mailed. I planned to send it with my resume and cover...

    Thanks for the feedback 130tobe! I just can't believe it. It's like you work so hard to get every little detail perfect and then just mess up in the most basic

    Preceptor gift for senior practicum?

    anashenwrath replied to bostonRN2013's topic in General Students

    Did he have any sayings or anything that he fell back on a lot? One of our clinical instructors used to always say, "I love you all, but I trust none of you." Some of the students got it printed on a...

    What I'm most worried about!!

    anashenwrath replied to collegegirl101's topic in General Students

    I agree with the others. Take a breath! You'll have plenty of opportunities to practice and to watch nurses in clinicals perform these things, and that will make it less intimidating. The first time I...

    Do you have Kaplan materials, or any study aids? Doing practice tests is your best friend right

    Should I be worrying about NCLEX-RN?

    anashenwrath replied to amc248's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, you should have studied more. Yes. HOWEVER, your scores aren't that bad at all. Above passing. even the readiness. But if those are the only tests you did (ie, you didn't do any qbanks, etc),...

    NCLEX Rules - Please Follow Them!

    anashenwrath replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My kaplan coach told a story where a girl went to her locker and checked her phone on break. Not to cheat, just... checking her phone (this was a while ago, before the bags). Out she went. I think...
