  1. Need advice, please

    RadBSN replied to healthcarestudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school has NCLEX 4000, I can let you know when I go there this

  2. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    RadBSN replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    Right, they might look at it and throw it on the street where any joe schmoe could pick it up and read whatever had been written. I'm just trying to make a point, I agree, I doubt that would happen,...

  3. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    RadBSN replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    Funny thing about thieves, they go through drawers, closets, cabinets, freezers and look for things in the places you might have hidden them. We were just broken into and they took the most random...

  4. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    RadBSN replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    Not that anyone would necessarily intend to steal your diary, but they might take it thinking there was important info in it. If you have protected health information in your possession and someone...

  5. Which unit to work on as new grad?

    RadBSN replied to Ilovethe80s's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's hard for me to judge how horrible it is for new grads in my area. Yeah, it's not as good as it used to be, people aren't getting job offers before they graduate, but they're getting jobs. I think...

  6. authorized to test

    RadBSN replied to GidgetBrown's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finally got my ATT! It took about 10 days from when I called to complain :) I was able to schedule for the beginning of February and there were plenty of dates earlier than that. Still waiting on...

  7. If several nurses warned you against working on a particular unit at a hospital....

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

    Don't worry about it yet, just apply to everything that you can and see how the cards fall. I was concerned that I might end up on a crappy, unsafe floor because I was so worried about the job market....

  8. Student Loan Forgiveness for Nurses??

    RadBSN replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Nursing

    I for one am very happy about the loan forgiveness program as it will allow me to work in a less lucrative position, in an underserved area and be out of debt before I'm 60!!! I for one did do a lot...

  9. Which unit to work on as new grad?

    RadBSN replied to Ilovethe80s's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would actually advise you against taking the OR position, especially if it isn't your first choice. The drop out rate for our new grad OR program is 50%. I know people in it who hate it and one...

  10. E-mail introduction--Appropriate or not?

    RadBSN replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Nursing Career

    Is the hiring manager the nurse manager for the floor or the contact in nurse recruitment? If it's the nurse manager I would say go ahead since I'm pretty sure that's what got me my interview on a...

  11. Questions to ask in an interview?

    RadBSN replied to lizzy33's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Questions I ask: Can you tell me more about your leadership style? What's the experience level of the nurse on this floor? What types of special training or certification should I work towards as a...

  12. authorized to test

    RadBSN replied to GidgetBrown's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's helpful info, I think that I'm problem out of luck until Monday, which is fine. Pearson Vue kept telling me that I had to wait 4 weeks from the day I registered to call them and complain about...

  13. Accelerated BSN Program help

    RadBSN replied to lotsofsunshine's topic in General Students

    I will say that there is no magic formula to getting into nursing school. I was accepted into Yale's GEPN program with a much lower GPA than the above poster, but different work and volunteer...

  14. home remedies you would NEVER try

    RadBSN replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I tried the garlic thing once for a mild yeast infection. First time it came shooting right back out and into the toilet. Then once I finally got the thing to stay in (new clove btw) I went to bed and...

  15. So, I interviewed last week and I thought it went well...

    RadBSN replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I would give it more time. A friend just got a job offer after having interviewed at the beginning of

  16. authorized to test

    RadBSN replied to GidgetBrown's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was actually curious about this too. I graduated at the same time and a bunch of my classmates have already received their ATTs. Everything is approved for me, but I called Pearson Vue and they were...

  17. Nurse with Body Odor

    RadBSN replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the anonymous note stuff is really rude and would make me feel uncomfortable and like people were talking behind my back. If there was something wrong with my personal hygiene I would...

  18. Notes for new graduates

    RadBSN replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where I applied the unit managers' phone numbers are listed right on the website along with their emails. You could also call the hospital and request to speak with the unit where you want to work and...

  19. Certifications

    RadBSN replied to levans121687's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know that you will need Neonatal Resuscitation for L&D, EFM courses might be good too. You could try asking in the OB nursing forum. Personally, I am hoping to get reimbursed by my future...

  20. Nervous for 1st Interview on Monday

    RadBSN replied to INDIGOSKY's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats! I will also say for those people reading this thread for interview advice that in my limited RN interviewing experience I wasn't asked one question about my clinical knowledge, but tons of...

  21. Sheriff's County RN Interview

    RadBSN replied to dj27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It seems like interview questions are pretty similar across fields. You need to be able to relate your previous experience to what you will be asked to do and to highlight your skills and how they...

  22. Paying for your own training as a new grad

    RadBSN replied to NursePati87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It would really depend on the hospital, the units in the program, where I could be placed, etc. I would also have the same questions about living wage and health insurance. This is also a little...

  23. Finally done with nursing school!!!

    RadBSN replied to Amirah22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yay! Me

  24. new grad Multiple offers need help

    RadBSN replied to JEAN09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly, as a new grad I would choose the hospital that I thought was going to be the best working environment and where I could learn the most. However, I would be concerned about getting enough...

  25. Should I Follow Up?

    RadBSN replied to MK86's topic in Nursing Career

    I would definitely follow up! I would just send a short note saying how great you thought everything was, how you are still interested in the facility and how you would like them to keep you in mind...
