  1. Afraid of being trained as a bad nurse.

    NightBloomCereus replied to NightBloomCereus's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks so much for your responses! My gut feeling tells me it's bad practice, and I will definitely do a full assessment on my patients regardless of what I'm seeing other nurses doing (or not doing)...

  2. New Grad Residency

    NightBloomCereus replied to ANurseInPearls's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My hospital has a 3-month new grad residency that includes classes/education, certifications and a preceptorship on the floor. It is open to internal employees only (who worked for the hospital while...

  3. Starting clinicals this week and I'm TERRIFIED!

    NightBloomCereus replied to MissCris's topic in General Students

    My clinical instructors were always telling me to take a deep breath and relax already, so I can somewhat relate to being nervous a lot. Looking back on nursing school, clinical was really not bad at...

  4. How did you get your job?

    NightBloomCereus replied to scamper22's topic in General Nursing

    I got hired as an RN at a hospital I was already working in as a clerk. Hospitals here want 1 year experience too. My hospital will only hire new grad nurses if they're internal, and we have to go...

  5. NEW GRADUATE NURSE!

    NightBloomCereus replied to cmoore6799's topic in Cardiac

    Thank you; I'm starting in Tele soon and your advice helped me

  6. Advice for new preceptor please

    NightBloomCereus replied to Lev's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure if I'm the best person to respond, but I'm hoping to get the ball rolling here. I'm just about to start my first nursing job (don't stop reading yet!) but I have a teaching background and...

  7. How MANY shoes do you use for work?

    NightBloomCereus posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi, everyone. I've seen a lot of threads about what the best shoes are, but I was wondering how MANY you own for your job. Do you switch shoes on different days...maybe even mid shift? I was thinking...

  8. Should my resume include law school?

    NightBloomCereus replied to cwallnycaprrcom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have an bachelor's in art and a master's in religious studies, and they were impressed with this at my interview. There are skills that I learned through my previous careers that set me apart as an...

  9. How MANY shoes do you use for work?

    NightBloomCereus replied to NightBloomCereus's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for your input. I have one pair of danskos and I think I'll pick up a good sneaker and switch between them like RN403. Who knows, maybe I'll end up with a collection like LadyFree28 :) Sounds...

  10. I might fail OB clinical, nervous and kinda suicidal

    NightBloomCereus replied to Rocktheman's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Please listen to what the other posters have said and talk to someone. Praying for you. Update us if you

  11. Grey's Anatomy Scrubs- how to keep in good condition?

    NightBloomCereus replied to rnbsn694's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have an update to my previous post, since I just washed my scrubs and got to take a good look at them. I only have enough scrubs to take me through one work week, so they get washed about every week...

  12. Thinking of picking up a minor?

    NightBloomCereus replied to greenjeans26's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was thinking of saying that! OP, I think what StudentofHealing said is spot on. In fact, the only people in my class who had a job advantage were the ones who already were working in healthcare....

  13. Thinking of picking up a minor?

    NightBloomCereus replied to greenjeans26's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To be completely honest, my minor didn't help me a whole lot. It shows you are a well rounded person and MAY give you an edge with a skill or a specialty, but it doesn't actually qualify you for...

  14. Nclex in 5days. What to do?

    NightBloomCereus replied to Kathrene,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Anything you study now will not show up on the test...guaranteed. :) You can look over simple memorization things if you want, or practice some more questions. Don't study too much though, and give it...

  15. Need Advice on Clinical Instructor

    NightBloomCereus replied to hardworkinmom's topic in General Students

    Oh just saw your update. Fantastic!

  16. Need Advice on Clinical Instructor

    NightBloomCereus replied to hardworkinmom's topic in General Students

    I experienced this too, and like others have said, it's a good thing. This is what I did: Ask your clinical instructor if there is a time you can talk to her for a few minutes, and then ask her about...

  17. Scrubs for a tiny girl with a J Lo booty

    NightBloomCereus replied to ixchel's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I too have trouble finding my size in stores so I have to order online. I order through Scrubs and Beyond and get free shipping for spending over a certain amount, and return anything that doesn't fit...

  18. Pending NJ License

    NightBloomCereus replied to cxe008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Keep calling them, and keep a record of who you spoke to. Also look at the checklist online (you can see it when you log on to the BON website) so when you call YOU can tell THEM what items are still...

  19. I don't like being a nurse anymore

    NightBloomCereus replied to jenawade25's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for the update. I hope in 1 year I can say the same

  20. Scrubs for a tiny girl with a J Lo booty

    NightBloomCereus replied to ixchel's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I can't be of much help in the booty area, but I also swim in most XS tops. The only tops that are fitted enough for me are the Grey's Anatomy in XS. Everything else looks huge even in XS. I'm 5'2'',...

  21. Grey's Anatomy Scrubs- how to keep in good condition?

    NightBloomCereus replied to rnbsn694's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have been wearing mine for 2 years and they have not shrunk or faded. They're excellent quality and definitely work the price. I will never wear another brand. One thing I do to keep them good as...

  22. Should I work while in school?

    NightBloomCereus replied to CLin's topic in General Students

    Recent grad here. The ONLY students in my class working in hospitals right now are those who worked there while in school. They got great orientations and love their jobs. Those who did not work are...

  23. Should a student nurse take ACLS?

    NightBloomCereus replied to joshmiller2010's topic in Cardiac

    I took it over winter break before my last semester and did fine. If you can do it, go ahead. I'm not sure whether it helped my job search, but it shows

  24. Need advice about first RN job, TN, PA

    NightBloomCereus replied to lilliebelle316's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a recent Philly grad and all of the applications I have filled out require your PA license number. I know of one person who applied to doctor's offices without a license number, but most any other...

  25. NJ Board of Nursing - What the Heck?

    NightBloomCereus replied to alibee's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Sorry to hear that. I've heard that people who only need board approval have had success by driving up to Newark. You can also apply for PA reciprocity if you live near the boarder, since their...
