    Failed A Course...

    NICUmiiki replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Of course. People fail all of the time. They usually retake the class, do better, and move on in the program. Specifically at my school, you could fail once in the program. A second fail and you're...

    nurses hours

    NICUmiiki replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    No mandatory overtime over here either. They ask people to pick up, and if they really need someone they'll pay incentive pay (on top of overtime). The more desperate they are, the higher the...

    State does not require English proficiency test

    NICUmiiki replied to Philippines2015's topic in Nurse Registration

    The only way to find out is to look at the application for each state. Do you plan to move to Florida? Or just stay in the state you find that doesn't require an English proficiency

    NICUmiiki replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Ok.. A bunch of actual nurses are all saying the same thing. Of course they're wrong. I think a lot of people are just seeing that you quit because you didn't want to do what most of us perceive as a...

    PCA Phone Screening Help?

    NICUmiiki replied to Sandravega's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I suggest looking up common interview questions (there's lots of stuff on youtube) and practice answering them. Write down the questions and your answers and keep reviewing them. This will help you...

    NICUmiiki replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    I did know there would be a comprehensive final from the beginning. I went over the handbook and the catalog with a fine tooth comb before starting nursing school. I didn't specifically know that it...

    Newborn Nanny, Should I Return to School for Nursing at 48??

    NICUmiiki replied to sprtngrl47's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are physical therapists who work with babies in the NICU. The only point I feel you should consider is that you may not get a position in the NICU, Mother/Baby, L&D or Peds right away. You...

    HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    NICUmiiki replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    Actually... One of my classes in the last semester was a Pass/Fail course. You must have passed the HESI E2 in order to pass the class. You don't pass the HESI = you don't pass the course = you don't...

    HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    NICUmiiki replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    Yea... I just can't sign that. Did you start a petition half-way through the program when you first found out about having to take the HESI to graduate? It wasn't grossly unfair enough to start a...

    There is no required specialized course for NICU nurses; most NICU nurses are trained on the job. Doing that course in Israel can only help your chances of getting a NICU job in the states, but it is...

    NICUmiiki replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I find that if I'm struggling to stay awake, then I'm not learning anything anyway. I just go ahead and go to sleep. If I knew that it needed to be done asap, I would just wake up early and get to
