  1. 29 applications in and still no job!!!

    adnrnstudent replied to Trei1972's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are you licensed in all 3 states? If not how are you addressing that in your application? There are a couple of states I'd be willing to move to, but I can't justify going everywhere and getting...

  2. Lunch coverage novolog

    adnrnstudent replied to lexijo's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I'm only speaking on this from the perspective of a Insulin Dependent Type 2 that uses Novolog and Lantus. If my lunch had carbs in it, I would need insulin to cover for that lunch. If my sugar is...

  3. [Blank] Made Incredibly Easy! - book series

    adnrnstudent replied to GracyMae's topic in General Students

    Good books but what annoys me with them are how they are sort of duplicating with "made easy / made visual." I kind of feel it's a dirty

  4. Registry position?

    adnrnstudent replied to RROUSE's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question about registry, I am looking at a registry (in-house) position because it pays significantly more than regular and I don't need health insurance. What other benefits would there be...

  5. ATT NCLEX RN in Illinois

    adnrnstudent replied to jaice's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't really understand what you mean. I did CTS and PearsonVue at same time. My classmates that were trying to hang on to the $200 as long as possible and only did CTS, didn't get their ATTs. My...

  6. ATT NCLEX RN in Illinois

    adnrnstudent replied to jaice's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I believe you do. Some of my classmates were not getting their ATT via email when the rest of us had. It turned out they are the ones that didn't

  7. BSN vs non-nursing BA/BS

    adnrnstudent replied to catdawg's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It really varies institution by institution. I am a ADN with BS in another field. Many of the hospitals here are putting in that they will consider an ADN with BS in another field and expectation to...

  8. Only Charting "The Good Vitals"?

    adnrnstudent replied to whitecat5000's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm an ex PCT. RN as of July. Kind of the opposite, nurses used to irritate me. They didn't want me to chart that systolic over 160 or under 80. They would come check it themselves and it would...

  9. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

    adnrnstudent replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Not being mean here, being real. Why would an employer want to hire a pregnant girl, give them insurance, and then hold their job when they take FML? Per Diem work is what I'd go

  10. Any suggestions for LPN programs in the Chicago land area?

    adnrnstudent replied to ALICE K's topic in Illinois Nursing

  12. Is a medical coding certification useful for an RN

    adnrnstudent replied to coopman712's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe in a hospital admin role but by the time you get there, coding may have changed drastically. I don't think it will benefit you in any way as far as getting a nurse

  13. How many hours should you be working?

    adnrnstudent replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Hourly

  14. Nursing Scrubs: The Material Makes A Difference

    adnrnstudent replied to TheCommuter's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Quality of stitching matters too. In the past, Dickies would fall apart and all I'll wear now is Cherokee. (Dickies may have improved since I last bought them, not trying to kill a brand that may have...

    adnrnstudent replied to clandestine-approach's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  16. Comfortable Male RN Shoes

    adnrnstudent replied to puroticorico's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I hate to answer the poll because I haven't tried them all. I've typically wore New Balance. I've had 2 pairs that were great and 1 pair that killed my feet. I'm haven't found the perfect shoe and...

  17. NCLEX passing rates

    adnrnstudent replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You start off with choice 4 and then do 5. You take qualified students with the aptitude then teach them. You use a modified grading scale making the cut off for B at 84% and the cutoff for C at 78%....

  19. A Diabetic rant

    adnrnstudent replied to veggie530's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    So there are a lot of questions here. Was the sugar that high because Lantus was withheld or did patient end up having a Somogyi? While Lantus is a basal insulin, I personally get about a 60 point...

  22. Magnet or other institutions encouraging or requiring higher education

    adnrnstudent replied to CIRQL8's topic in Operating Room

    Unfortunately a BSN or MSN in nursing isn't about nursing, it's about papers and

  23. ADN w/ BS in other field going for MSN in 1 year. List on resume.

    adnrnstudent posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I just received my ADN and passed NCLEX-RN. Waiting on State for license number. I have a previous B.S. in another field. The school I intend on going to for MSN wants me to work 1 year before I start...
