  3. Handheld computers worth it?

    hock1 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Calling pharmacy is cheaper too, ha

  4. Handheld computers worth it?

    hock1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have two questions about the hand held computers: 1. Are the hand held nursing computers worth it? Before the costly purchase, I'd like to hear some pro's and cons. 2. I plan on asking my employer...

  5. Forgot to have TB test read!

    hock1 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    vhope here...Thanks for all the comments and ideas everybody. They really helped me deal with the anxiety and embarrassment about forgetting. Employee Health just made me do another test all over...

  6. Successful without an Externship?

    hock1 replied to maire's topic in General Students

    I have no experience beyond nursing school. It didn't hurt or help me find employment as a new RN. The hospital where I hired requires ten day orientation for all RN's no matter the experience: legal...

  7. It is With Sadness I Write This

    hock1 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Try not to be sad, people will bicker. I'll try to keep my future posts as positive as possible. Hopefully I've never offended or hurt anybody. If I have please forgive me. Smiles and hugs to all....

  8. Forgot to have TB test read!

    hock1 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    I worked only Monday and Tuesday. My orientation was not on the floor with the nurses, only corporate (including new housekeepers, secretaries, transport, CNA's, and one other new RN). Monday the...

  9. Forgot to have TB test read!

    hock1 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    I received my RN Feb 2004. Can I legally read the results myself? If so then it was negative, and I'm fine. However the guidelines stated to have another RN read the results. I'll still give a try...

  10. Old DUI Conviction

    hock1 replied to Pitbullgirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Contact the New York board. I know of a Michigan nursing student who has to wait just a few extra weeks to process some paper work. A neighbor called the cops on him and his wife regarding the...

    hock1 replied to orchid's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Orchid...I apologize if you get this message twice...I took the NCLEX the same day you did. It took the St of Michigan five days to post my numbers at the website and as of March 1, I still have yet...

  13. I passed now what?

    hock1 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I still can't believe after three and a half years of nursing school it's finally over! Now that the NCLEX isn't looming over my head anymore, I can think of my future in concrete terms. Does...

    Thanks for the laugh...that was pretty

  15. When and Why Did You Decide A Career in Nursing Was for You?

    hock1 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've always been a caregiver. So much so that way back in 1985 my father was constantly trying to 'push' me into nursing as a career partly because he knew I'd thrive and partly because he believed it...

  16. Took NCLEX this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hock1 replied to lildebbie-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    After my recent experience with NCLEX, I've come to the conclusion that waiting for the results is one of the most stressfull 48 hours a nursing student can have. I second guessed every question I...

  17. Why get an MSN?

    hock1 replied to Mr_D's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm pretty new here and have only just passed boards so take my advice with a grain of salt...Try this question in the general discussion forum. There might be more experienced nurses there. For what...

  20. NCLEX suspense

    hock1 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    OK, the suspense is killing me. I only just took the NCLEX this morning (2/23) and I'm dying...deep cleansing breaths...deep cleansing breaths...I vow not to repeatedly check for results...I vow to...

  21. NCLEX suspense

    hock1 replied to hock1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It cracks me up when I see this type of reply about how long people used to have to wait for NCLEX results. It reminds of my son. He wanted a TV dinner. I popped it into the microwave for 3 minutes....

  22. so what happens if someone in your class cheats?

    hock1 replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Students

    I don't believe in group punishment. It's totally not fair to those who study hard. A couple of students in my peds rotation stole a master copy of the final worth 50% of our grade! Luckly for the...

  23. Took NCLEX today

    hock1 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm so scared. I took the NCLEX this morning. It seemed straight forward and too the point. I keep hearing if the test seems too easy you probably are not doing well. I had delegating, prioritizing,...
