Pink Magnolia BSN, RN

People have been checking this website to see if they passed the day after taking the NCLEX. Pretty cool. I hope it's accurate! https://www.nursys.com/LQC/LQCSearch.aspx

What is it like working as a RN in a pediatric residential psychiatric treatment center, such as Youth Villages? Please share your experiences!

Thanks for replying! I'm curious about how your shift would normally go. Do you get the opportunity to lead groups? Really any info that would benefit a new psych nurse.

I would just like to know, for example, what the RN responsibilities entail, or what the average nurse-patios ration would be.

When being considered for a PRN position, is it required for the applicant to have actual experience in that speciality? I would like to know if a facility would provide extra training for RNs that have experience in another area? I have experience i...

Thanks for your help! Hopefully I can find something that interests me. I would love to find NICU work...wonder if I would even be considered or get a proper orientation.

It's a comfortable technique many midwives use. It works and helps speed up cervical effacement and dilation! Learned it on my L&D unit.

I'm considering going PRN at an LTC and this was very informative! Thank you!

Pretzel her with thick side down so it stretches out. You can rotate her pretzel position too every 20 minutes.

Teacher and nurse here....I agree with you 100%

This is wonderful advise! I wish I would have shadowed someone before jumping into nursing, but then again I would have lived my whole life wondering what it would have been like. To me, I'd rather try it out and be disappointed than to never try it....

Teaching does not pay well yes, but would you be happier you think as a nurse? I left the classroom for nursing 3 yrs ago. I was full of enthusiasm for both careers in teaching and nursing, but I wanted to take the time in my mid twenties to explore ...

I think shadowing on the unit is a great idea if you know you really want to work in NICU one day. Just try it and then make the decision. You may actually like LAD.

Congrats! OB is awesome

I've been asked by several people why I choose nursing as my 2nd career and not just become a doctor....irritating question, but we have to ignore their ignorance.

I took my NCLEX exam yesterday at 0800 and it shut off at 75 questions. My last five questions were SATA, but I have no idea how I did. I felt okay after the exam, but the longer I wait, the more crazy I drive myself waiting for the results. So I wen...

....uh why are you even on this site? That's what I want to know.

If you are able, I highly recommend getting a BSN. American Association of Colleges of Nursing | The Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing as Minimal Preparation for Professional Practice More Nurses Earn BSN as Hospitals Work to Achieve Magnet Status | L...

I like using dimensional analysis :)

I start 2/9 also! Crazy:) I'm so enjoying a week off of doing nothing! Well, I may start my hobbies back up!

I just wanted to share my story on how I passed NCLEX in 75 questions. My accelerated BSN program used ATI. I personally think ATI prepared me more than anything else because it was mandatory that we get level 2 scores. I read each ATI book from fron...

Good Idea! I will do that :)

YAY! It feels good to be done and not worry about it anymore! Now let's get to work

Wait just a few more hours! Mine popped up around 6 last night, so start looking after 6 :)
