  1. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    danarooo replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I took the NCLEX last April. My information on it is up to date, at least for my state. It is computer adaptive, meaning that how you answered the previous question determines the level of...

  2. How do I get out of being a nurse?

    danarooo replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    How does one break into the other nursing fields suggested? I can't find work at all as an RN, so I'm wondering how you would make the transition to another area of nursing besides direct patient...

  3. My take on how the nursing profession is going...

    danarooo replied to I Am ReadyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the same boat you are, and I cry plenty. I don't know that things will recover the same as they have in the past. I feel that as long as hospitals can fill the void with lesser educated...

  4. Shocked...Confused...& Terminated=SAD "(

    danarooo replied to NrsLucky's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing, you are a strong nurse who clearly knows your boundaries and you should be proud. You protected yourself and your license. Be proud of yourself for being so strong! Sorry you...

  5. Problems with the aging nurses

    danarooo replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    We do need nurses, and it would sure make it easier for all us new grads to get jobs if the aging nurse population would retire to clear the way (with the economy it's hard I know). With that being...

  6. Student Nurse Nightmare-Help!

    danarooo replied to RNFiona's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Hats off to you for trying to make the best out of this and to actually teach this guy something! I am a new grad and have only gotten one interview in a year post graduation so I can see he is...

  7. Nobody is hiring...stuck in job I hate

    danarooo replied to TXNurse92's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your frustration, with that said you do have a job. I have been an RN for about a year now and I have had one interview, which I did not get the job. I am so frustrated at this point I...

  8. Feeling extremely frustrated :(

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

    It sounds like the job situation in Virginia Beach isn't very good either. I've been applying to open nursing positions at Sentara hospitals and plan to start compiling a list of walk in clinics and...

  9. Feeling extremely frustrated :(

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

    Vtuhpinc - I am moving from the West Coast to Virginia Beach, Va. Is this a phone triage type position? I have no say in where I am moving as my husband has a government job so it's not an option to...

  10. new RN. no work :(

    danarooo replied to kmj25's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in March 2011 and I'm in the same boat. No previous healthcare experience, and no job. I live in the Pacific NW and the job market for new grads here is really bad. Very competetive and...

  11. What do I do after my clinical instructor told me I will never be a good nurse?

    danarooo replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    I had a similar experience as well. This was later in nursing school, and I had always done very well in clinicals up until this point. My instructor told me I probably wouldn't graduate, took my...

  12. Feeling extremely frustrated :(

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

    Thanks everyone, I am not sure about prisons in Virginia Beach, although that is a great idea and I will definitely be looking into that now! I have worked as a flu shot nurse, it was a little...

  13. New Grad Entitlement

    danarooo replied to SunshineAnytime's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Being humble is a big one, having the courage to ask a question without regard to how stupid you think you may look is another big one. I'd much rather think I look stupid or be treated like I'm...

  14. I need help with a Care plan PLEASE!!!

    danarooo replied to mzwest83's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you have a half priced book store in your area? You can find good care plan books with all the NANDA nursing dx's you'll need at half priced books. I'm assuming your at the beginning of your...

  15. Stressed out Float new grad nurse!!

    danarooo replied to Nursingluv101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow. I am sorry your having a hard time. I am a new grad, and I have been told over and over that float is not appropriate for new grads, neither are specialty areas such as L&D. Where I am,...

  16. Help! Not-so-new-grad still looking for a job :(

    danarooo replied to jobhunting's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am in the same boat! I graduated in March 2011 and the only thing I have found is a seasonal flu shot job with a nursing agency that has already ended since the season is over. I have applied...
