    States allowing foreign grad nurses w/non-concurrent curriculum to take NCLEX

    NICUmiiki replied to Lanze's topic in Nurse Registration

    Concurrent is not a bad status for your application. Your education is concurrent if your theory and cases were at the same time. You said they were, so your education is concurrent. It is good that...

    Evernote or MS Onenote?

    NICUmiiki replied to 7237dallas's topic in Nursing News

    Though I love my Mac and would not trade it for a Windows computer, Onenote is a fabulous note-taking app that just has no true replacement on the Mac (Features like type anywhere, put any file...

    Working in the Float Pool as a nursing student

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

    No. I don't have any experience as a CNA in the pool. I'm a sitter. The sitters at my hospital provide no patient care. Not a very hard job, it just can drive me a little crazy sitting and looking and...

    Nursing license and state residency

    NICUmiiki replied to drguitarum2005's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I have friends who graduated and took the NCLEX within a month. Maybe things have changed from what you are familiar with. I'm trying to figure out your point for the rest of your comment. All states...

    Nursing license and state residency

    NICUmiiki replied to drguitarum2005's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    LA has temp licenses, but they are for endorsements and she must be a resident at the time of request. She would have to already have hr Tx license. Why doesn't she just take the NCLEX in LA? She...

    One of the hospitals in my area doesn't use CNAs. They have a team nursing model where a RN and an LPN provide all of the care for 8 (I think) patients on

    NICUmiiki replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    Working in the Float Pool as a nursing student

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

    I personally don't like floating. I like the schedule, but I don't like not knowing anyone and feeling like the outsider every shift even though most people are nice. I'm in the process of...
