  1. Would you do it all again?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to laski's topic in General Nursing

    3 months out of school and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can't imagine my life without nursing. Everyday I thank God that I love every second of my job and can't wait to start my

  2. 9 months until graduation, EXTREMELY worried I won't find full time work.

    yuzzamatuzz replied to TacticPatrick17's topic in General Nursing

    Start networking now. I started really early and was able to start work right after passing the NCLEX. Contacting people personally, via phone and/or email is probably the most likely way to get a...

  3. Holy cow! Now i'm confused!

    yuzzamatuzz replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, congrats! Where I work as a new grad we have 3 months with a preceptor. In the ICU and ER I think they do a year but I am on a regular floor. My hospital sounds very similar to yours...

  4. Should I settle for a job I'm not happy with?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Nursing Career

    I respectfully disagree with you because I do not think these are bold claims people are making. Of course there are some places in the country where new grads might not be struggling. But it...

  5. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    When I started nursing school, one of our teachers asked us who wanted to go into which specialties. About 75% of my class wanted peds. Flash forward 3 years, only 5 people out of my hundred person...

  6. New LNA having a hard time

    yuzzamatuzz replied to sara5's topic in General Nursing

    Your fear is unfortunately common but based in the societal stigma surrounding HIV rather than scientific evidence. That stigma developed early on in the 80s when people knew very little about the...

  7. AHHHH ACLS course problem!! I don't know what to do!

    yuzzamatuzz replied to nurseypoo87's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't taken ACLS but I did take PALS during my last semester as an undergrad. You do need to know cardiac rhythms but they are the more common emergency rhythms. You need to be able to recognize...

  8. NCLEX FREAKOUT!!

    yuzzamatuzz replied to Lucia1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't study at all right before it, it will only make you more nervous, try to distract yourself. I went out shopping and to lunch with a friend right before and it definitely kept my mind off the...

  9. my problem with allnurses...why so pessimistic?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to pymschrs's topic in General Nursing

    As a new graduate, I completely agree that this website made me SO NERVOUS about finding a job. And in the end I got a job in the specialty that I want to be in in a city with very few new grad jobs....

  10. How is there a shortage?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to Luularoo's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion there is still a huge nursing shortage but the economy is masking it. I recently graduated from nursing school and everyone has been struggling to find a job. I know so many smart and...

  11. ATT codes?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to icantsurf's topic in New York Nursing

    I was in a very similar situation (coming from a different state to a job in NYC). I was really nervous I wouldn't get my ATT in time because someone on the phone told me it could take about 2 weeks...

  12. How do i get ahead start on my future RN Career?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Nursing

    Networking was probably the biggest factor in helping me get a job as an RN. I applied to so many places on the internet and it felt like my resume was just going into a black hole. I was offered...

  13. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    My first clinical ever was at a major teaching hospital in an urban area. I was in the vascular ICU taking care of a patient who had had a femoral popliteal bypass graft, diabetes, and CHF. She was...

    yuzzamatuzz replied to LOVEnicuRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just graduated and am taking the NCLEX in a few weeks. I've been using Mosby's to review content, Davis's Q&A, and the Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment. I haven't used Saunder's...

    yuzzamatuzz replied to chillin4me's topic in California Nursing

    I'm an external applicant and just got a call at about 7pm on the east coast for a preliminary interview. My primary choice was the CVICU, so I'm not sure if they have contacted for other

  18. Scared Pre-Nursing Student: Is Nursing as Bad as I Hear?

    yuzzamatuzz replied to Ivy Black's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student as well and am about to graduate in a month. You seem like you have the right mindset to come into nursing. I have met a few nurses who are burnt out, but I have met so many more who...

    yuzzamatuzz replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
