  1. Is becoming a Nurse hard?

    I think it is great that you are so young and thinking about your future! I decided to be a nurse as an adult and I can easily say it is the most challenging thing I have ever done. For me it was hard because I never worked in a hospital and I was sh...
  2. Travel nursing, taking partner

    Depends on what kind of work he does. Alot of career fields have work from home options. It would be no problem to work from home if he was into customer service.
  3. Please tell me what I know to be a good Tech at hospital

    Learn as much as you can, and be positive. Help out where you can and do you best. A good tech can be hard to find! Since you are a student nurse beware your work ethic put forth now can help or hurt your chances of getting a job there in the future.
  4. Please help Failed Nursing Classes

    A girl in my school failed but was forgiven because she recorded all her lectures and was able to defend her choice on the exam. She needed one question to pass. You can try Nassau Community College if Adelphi doesn't take you back. Good luck.
  5. I am an ADN nurse and I think it is well worth it. We take the same NCLEX exam. In most cases there is a $0-$1 price difference in pay. I found a job rather quickly and feel I was adequately prepared. I passed NCLEX with 75 questions and there is rea...
  6. potential future nurse seeking wisdom from current nurses

    I say if you know you want to be an MD be an MD. If you want to be a nurse then go for it. There are options like DNP or CRNA that you could do if you wanted to stick with nursing. I love being a nurse. The downside I could think of would be nursing ...
  7. Connections to a NONTRADITIONAL nursing job?

    Once you have your license there are companies who pay you well to write care plans for patients but no direct patient care :)
  8. 1. Learning begins on the job. Keep reading and refreshing yourself with common diseases, medications, and procedures in your specialty. If you don't use it you loose it! So learn as much as you can from you preceptor and be sure to avoid at all cost...
  9. Ten things I learned the first month on the job.

    Thank for the feedback
  10. I aced the test! Now how do I get home?

    It does get better school wise only to repeat when you start your new job! What helps is planning and organization. Things like putting the keys in the same place and keeping a calendar to remember important things. I started putting everything in my...
  11. what to do

    Visit HR in person with resume on hand and or go to the unit you want to work at and ask for the ANM, give them your resume/ask for an interview. Travel nursing or local travel is also a very good option too good luck!
  12. What would you do if your family member were doing drugs?

    Without criminal charges being filed someone could report this incident to the board of nursing and make a case for you to loose your license and if you don't have one. They will make sure you don't get one. Keep in mind as a nurse you will be expect...
  13. should I withdraw??

    Without knowing your schools rules about readmit. I would stay, learn as much as I could remain positive and worse case scenario I would have a good idea of what to expect next time. Talk to your faculty also they may be able to help you.
  14. I want to become Male nurse but am under qualified

    I like this website allnursingschools.com I was able to find a school for my cousin in a different state. She had a similar situation. I would also consider community college for your Associate Degree in Nursing, not simply to freshen up. We all take...
  15. RN-BSN and not working?

    I am someone who did an ADN program. I am very interested in completing an RN-MSN program. I found out the hard way that most schools who have an RN-MSN or RN-BSN program need you to be an RN with experience. I ended up finding a job as a Graduate Nu...
  16. Yes you can work and you can log into the doh website and they have one you can print off the website. The employer is going to go online and verify your license anyway as well. Good Luck
  17. I am a nurse....Now what?

    I just graduated, passed nclex, and have my first job. I would appreciate any advice, on things like time management, tips for professionalism, products that are good to use, brain book development, portfolio management, anything!!! Thanks in advance...
  18. when should I call about an application? and what to say?

    Usually one week is good enough to allow them to get a chance to review the apps. What you said is fine, but I would add, "If at all possible I would like to set up a time for an interview". Good luck!
  19. Can I still look for tech job if I'm graduating in May?

    Tech positions are good especially if you want to work on the same floor. Look for nurse tech, senior nurse tech, or nurse internship programs. Whatever they call it at your hospital. I am hearing that it is hard for new grad nurses to get hired. I w...

    :yeah: CONGRATS!!!! :nurse:
  21. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    I am a new nurse....still in training. So I have very few pet peeves to speak of, but I really dislike when nurses are burnt out and always complaining how much they hate their job. I don't want to hear it or be around it. I prefer to keep my rose co...

  24. Panicking about not being able to find a job!!

    Alot of posts mention going to texas to find jobs. I found a job by talking with someone at a mixer. Another friend got a job by walking on the unit and asking for the ANM. Nursing homes are easier to get into for new grads I hear. Good Luck!
  25. I finally moved on and THANK YOU
