  1. Worst Interview Ever!!

    Mukfay replied to 312time's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If new grads are being hired, why shouldn't you. I mean the only difference is that you have experience, and we don't. Curious... Regards,

  2. Do you remember everything from nursing school?

    Mukfay replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Nursing

    I just passed the NCLEX, and I have the same concerns. The way I plan to handle it is to do my best to get a job with a group of supportive nurses who love to teach and develop people. I think this...

  3. Kaplan or Hurst NCLEX-RN review which one is better?

    Mukfay replied to ChloeRae's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Haven't heard of Hurst either. I understand the messages about content review, but my Kaplan instructor pointed out that cramming in nursing school wouldn't work, and so it probably won't work for...

  4. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    Mukfay replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    This is a tough one. However, you have to approach it in an evidenced-based way without emotion in order to benefit the patient pool in the best way. Who is more likely to make a mistake: The nurse...

  5. One more clinical! - Thank You!

    Mukfay posted a topic in General Nursing

    After 3 long years, I have one more clinical between me and graduation. I feel great, but weird at the same time (and afraid and somewhat unprepared!) I am looking forward to digesting knowledge...

  6. One more clinical! - Thank You!

    Mukfay replied to Mukfay's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you can give me some advice Carol. I love and appreciate free advice ! I should have said it was my last clinical day of my program though. Nevertheless, it is great advice, and I did...

  7. The Golden Rule

    Mukfay replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I've always thought that tact is sometimes another form of lying. Other times it's just a huge waste of time because people spend too much time dancing around the honesty is needed. However, I'd say...

  8. usajobs.gov and medhunters.com

    Mukfay replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe my eyes! I certainly don't know what's in your heart, but this message does come across as rude. Telling someone else what they need to do isn't the most courteous way to approach a...

  9. Possible move to NM

    Mukfay replied to canut's topic in General Nursing

    There is no longer a waiting list. Now they base your admission on your GPA and your HESI score. There are quite a few seats available since they now have 2 campuses (campi? Let me know if you...

  10. Possible move to NM

    Mukfay replied to canut's topic in General Nursing

    I have a couple of friends in that program now, and another applying. I would have gone there, but they had a 2+ year waiting list when I started. Now admission is based on a HESI score and GPA....

  11. Getting an interview as a new graduate

    Mukfay replied to KTK78's topic in General Nursing

    Inquiring about becoming a volunteer often helps. Keep us updated about your luck. Regards,

  12. In need of some peer support...

    Mukfay replied to SuperNurseBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Dave, but remember that learning how to control how you feel in spite of the way you are treated takes time because it is unlearning a bad habit. A lot of people make the mistake of...

  13. In need of some peer support...

    Mukfay replied to SuperNurseBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to point out that you worked through a nursing shortage (and will again). With that in mind, you've made a real, and measurable positive impact on a great number of lives. Had you not been...

  14. Do I need geometry

    Mukfay replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, I just noticed that you were viewing a thread about failing the TEAS, and you, yourself did not fail it. Try to imagine how you've felt in the past after you've accomplished something you were...

  15. Do I need geometry

    Mukfay replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With all compassion, I would like to help you understand that you will probably destroy your quality of life (and shorten it) if you go on this way. With that said, I know that you can overcome this...

  16. Traveling for school??

    Mukfay replied to heathert_kc's topic in General Nursing

    I would just add that you have to be very strict about maintaining a decent sleep schedule because if you don't get enough, driving that distance could cost you your life, and it's not worth it....

  17. Traveling for school??

    Mukfay replied to heathert_kc's topic in General Nursing

    I live 95 miles away from school, and I graduate in December. I'm with SummitAP! And I would add that you might want to tape your notes in your own voice and replay them as you drive (especially the...

  18. Moving to New Mexico

    Mukfay replied to unlvguy's topic in General Nursing

    The state is very culturally diverse. I think this place is paradise. I've PM'ed you, and I'll help you to move here in any way I can. Regards,

  19. Moving to New Mexico

    Mukfay replied to unlvguy's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, and don't forget to mention the chili :). I'm not sure how I survived without it before I moved here (not sure how you forgot to mention it HiHo . I'm positive I would suffer withdrawal...

  20. Is Saunders Updated for the New 2010 NCLEX?

    Mukfay posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I will graduate in December, and I want to go over NCLEX questions this Summer. I was just shopping for the Saunders book, but I can't find a recent edition (using a Google search of 2010 Saunders...

  21. Why is the Screen Designed to Go Blank?

    Mukfay posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If I were designing the NCLEX software, I would program a smiley face and some fireworks with a message like "Good Luck, and have a nice day!" to pop up at the end (or something like that). This...

  22. What exactly do fertility nurses do?

    Mukfay replied to shuubie's topic in General Nursing

    Truly. I mean, you could google many of the topics here, but it's not as much, and perhaps not as accurate as getting it here. Smart-alleck responses just discourage people from asking questions....

  23. To my preceptor, future students beware (rant)

    Mukfay replied to leekun2010's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, that's reasonable, but jorge is not evaluating it in the way you describe. You're implying that the student has flaws that are encouraging this behavior on the part of the preceptor (rather...

  24. To my preceptor, future students beware (rant)

    Mukfay replied to leekun2010's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand your comment jorge512. Are you implying that there is never a situation in which a student is eager, alert, and all she or he should be when the preceptor is not meeting his or...

  25. To my preceptor, future students beware (rant)

    Mukfay replied to leekun2010's topic in General Nursing

    A good reason to find a preceptor in advance of the experience (if you get to pick your own, which I supposed not everyone does). Regards,
