  1. New Grad.. No Job(Of Course).. What should I do in the meantime?

    WanderingSagehen replied to FilledWLove's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Skilled nursing facilities are hiring new grad RN's in my area, west coast and I don't live too far from where you are. The jobs are never advertised. I no longer feel sorry for new grads with no job....

  2. Going Backwards

    WanderingSagehen replied to HarStarr's topic in General Nursing

    Try LTC, I am finding that I am learning tons, have tons of patients and am memorizing drugs like crazy, I see the end of the disease processes (motivation to take care of myself). It was never spoken...

  3. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    WanderingSagehen replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There appears to be several versions of the good pop-up. It doesnt matter what it says so much as whether it allows you to pay for another NCLEX exam. Maybe it varies from State to State as to the...

  4. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    WanderingSagehen replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hummmm.... its now June 2012 and I got the "old message." Is the "new" pop up because you paid the $8, seems to be some confusion. The PVT trick is free. Are things still the same? I just finished my...

  5. Depressed first year nurse.

    WanderingSagehen replied to bucksnbows's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I hope that when I become a new nurse that I see the nursing world in a positive manor. Try a new perspective, anything the previous shift has conveniently forgotten to do is an opportunity for a new...

    WanderingSagehen replied to jomayca89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those are real good Kaplan scores. Did you take those after a ton of studying? Looks like you went above and beyond and it payed

  7. Studying for nclex rn 2010 with saunders only?

    WanderingSagehen replied to shopaholic42488's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hope that is true. (the test isn't as hard as it is made out to be- and wouldn't it figure that people are able to make a ton of money off of poor fearful students) I was really hoping it was a ploy...

  8. Took Boards today.

    WanderingSagehen replied to Tashy Mary Kay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You didn't actually count SATA's did

  9. NCLEX Board Game - I want this!

    WanderingSagehen replied to Staragate's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just got this and my husband won't play it with me. Boo hoo. Wish the cards didn't highlight the answer so that I could play all by myself! I still play by myself and cover all the answers and try...

  10. How far do you travel to get to work?

    WanderingSagehen replied to born2circulateRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Any interview experience will be beneficial. Do the interview and tell yourself the drive is ok. You can decide later if its not appropriate. You may love the job and the internship is a wonderful...

  11. I am confused about my pursuit of becoming an RN?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am pretty sure you need to take the entrance exam for your desired college, they each use their own to some extent and they have time limits, i.e., after 3 years it expires and you

  12. I am confused about my pursuit of becoming an RN?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    For my school, in order to take the teas test you need a considerable amount of your pre-reqs completed to be eligible and also to get a decent score. Those that rush the program process usually don't...

  13. Helpful first year tips

    WanderingSagehen replied to Kilika421's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow- congrats- straight in to OB. I have been debating whether to start as a floor nurse and then try OB or just head straight to OB? What do you all

  14. what states NEED nurses ?

    WanderingSagehen replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    The rural towns of California that I am aware of want 1 year of experience elsewhere and then yes there are jobs but then with a year of experience you might not have to go rural. Someday they will...

  15. Las Vegas to California

    WanderingSagehen replied to hopefulnurse5's topic in Nevada Nursing

    B's were fine prior to 2008, not so in 2010, 11, 12. Too many people want into the job security of nursing and the skills they will acquire. The current economy is keeping future nurses on their toes....

  16. Transfer RN License from Nevada to CA

    WanderingSagehen replied to the smack's topic in California Nursing

    Finger prints are required for school in Nevada to participate in Clinicals. Does Nevada want a 2nd set for

  17. Hospitals only hiring BSN degrees, and no ADN?

    WanderingSagehen replied to CheckThePoo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Same here ($10,000)- but now when I go for my BSN I will be working and can pay as I go. It all depends on age, finances, situation, previous education etc. Really only $6,000 and a lot of lost wages...

  18. Hospitals only hiring BSN degrees, and no ADN?

    WanderingSagehen replied to CheckThePoo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Interesting comment about men. You may be right. How many men really want to spend 4 years to get a BSN? Many women would if money was not the issue. BTW an ADN takes 4 years with the pre-reqs. In my...

  19. Male OB nurse

    WanderingSagehen replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would think the objection might only come from an expectant father (I will contradict myself in a few sentences). If a nurse is professional there should be no problems. There are plenty of male...

    WanderingSagehen replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

  22. Entire class failed 1st OB exam

    WanderingSagehen replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Students

    I watch the students fight with the administration. Just do your studying as best you can and don't waste you energy in negativity. OB is part of the NCLEX exam you have to know it. Those 1st exams...

  23. Whats been the hardest/easiest nursing course for you?

    WanderingSagehen replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    Fundamental was hard for me. No previous medical experience and a lot of new lingo gets used that I didn't understand. Tons of reading if you have no background. The pay-off is when you get to the...
