So at my school, I saw other cohorts produce awesome sweatshirts, so I thought of a creative idea to make one to represent our cohort. My sister who also is in nursing who was the cohort behind me also decided to make one to represent her class. I wo...

Saw this from a friend: https://www.ncsbn.org/4220.htm

As a new-ish grad. I had the mentality of I'm entering "YOUR" territory. You've been here longer than me and so you know more than me. I took my precepting days as a day of learning. Everyone had a different charting style, or whatever. You just need...

Here's a documentary about the waiting room. I use to precept here and well the waits were up to 2+ days. People would come in at 5-6AM and bring a blanket and anticipate the wait. The Waiting Room | A Film & Social Media Project About Health Car...

Just tell them how much money you make... and they'll shut up.

Good luck brother.. this forum has an abundance of information.. enjoy the much deserved winter break.

Just calm down and take the test. Don't let your nerves take the best of your judgment.. Don't get all concerned about how many Qs you get or whatever.. answer each questions as if it were your last. Don't aim for 50% correct, aim for 100%. And if it...

I'm a personally a running shoe wearing kind of guy, and I couldn't imagine wearing any clogs or anything else, but this was pretty popular. Nike Air Max 90s.

I complete agree with Joe, it REALLY varies on which hospital you are in. I have a friend who works in in VA, and gets $19/hr. California is a great state to work in, but super saturated. In Southern Cali, they get around high 20s-mid 30s. Here in No...

It varies hospital to hospital. Some don't have differential, and some don't offer time and a half after 8 hours. I know several hospitals who just do 12s and those last 4 hours are not considered OT.

Just keep looking. You really have to know someone who works internal who will really know. I feel like a lot of the Kaisers anywhere in CA aren't really offering a lot of new graduate programs.

My friend was selected for the position. Not sure how many others or what else. But from what I heard, you do get sent a behavioral test if you qualify.

California is TOUGH. I got super lucky on the position I'm at, especially in the market right now. But rumor says, 2014 is "the year". Like what everyone says, keep applying. Here are tips in nursing school.. build strong connections, these connectio...

Anyone else get an interview/call-back?

Anyone get any call-backs or interviews?

I know how you feel, and that happened to me as well as all of my classmates. Here's what I did to get a bigger sample. Anyone feel free to participate. The more people involved in that, the more accurate. https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum...

SATA is an above the pass line question. You don't have to get all of them right in order to pass. As long as you get the next question right, then you should be fine. It's going to be impossible to get all the SATA correct because it can honestly be...

Be ready to in an environment where the ratio is 8:1

Okay, I have had this discussion with ALL my friends and we all so far have seen only positive results when it came to the PVT trick. So I thought that if we had a poll on whether/whether not the trick worked for someone, they can then look it up her...

I had forgotten about that option. My friend also had that as well. (and he too also passed)

As you can see, options 1 and 4 proves that the PVT trick works, 2 and 3 makes it not.

I was scoring around that range on NCLEX 4000 and passed. NCLEX 4000 is generally focused on content questions. It has great review on topics so it would definitely be beneficial to use, but I don't recommend only using that as a study tool. Also do...

Don't worry too much about numbers, focus on your mentality going into the test. I know you're not going to feel 100% ready for the test, but just as long as you have a general concept of what is expected I think you should be fine. Do not be discour...

From what I heard, the readiness scale floating around here is invalid. (as confirmed from my Kaplan instructor). She had told me that people usually who score roughly 50% on the Readiness, are 90% likely to pass on the first try. People who score 60...

Congrats everyone! See you all in the Spring! I just started my BSN here SMU!
