  4. Hello, nurses! I am leaving tomorrow to take my NCLEX on Tuesday and am worried that I won't be allowed through the doors. My TX driver's license expired, so I renewed it a few weeks ago. It has...
  5. The renewal slip was, in fact, enough to get in. I wasn't even questioned about having a "real" license. I told the woman there that my new license hadn't come in the mail yet, handed over the...

    Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy. :) Like EMcGrady said, I would ask the hospital about flower delivery. A thank-you note and little gift of appreciation go a long
  14. I'm currently doing my preceptorship at one of the least reputable hospitals in my area. My peers and I have never had good clinical experiences in this hospital. Most of the nurses are not helpful,...
  15. Congratulations on almost being finished with your preceptorship! For a while there, I didn't think I'd make it through mine, but I certainly did and have my RN license now. If I can do it, then...
  16. I just finished nursing school and will be taking the NCLEX soon. Some of my classmates have already been hired on varying units, but I've known from the beginning that staff nursing isn't really for...
  17. Group project

    If these projects are something like PowerPoints, then much of the work can be done over e-mail. However, if you really need to meet as a group, then try to meet after class. If you need to meet...
