  1. New orders

    katia0203 replied to krg8089's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah this is probably policy-related, so you just need to ask your nurse manager to help you

  2. I failed my NCLEX...what do I do now?

    katia0203 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lippincot..hmm. I've never liked Lippincot's books, found them a bit dry and hard to understand. I would try Kaplan or Hurst, I had good luck with Kaplan. Do questions every single day. It really...

  3. Can you walk into the NCLEX-RN exam with gum in your mouth?

    katia0203 replied to MrRN1989's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My testing center was more lax then some, I got away with chewing gum and I got to keep my earrings lol. But it really depends, I did a good job hiding it under my tongue I

  4. Anyone testing on 6/9?

    katia0203 replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would also recommend taking 6/8 off from studying, it'll only stress you out more (in my opinion). Good luck, I'm sure you'll do

  5. Not satisfied with Kaplan

    katia0203 replied to whichone'spink's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Our Kaplan course week was basically useless, but all the resources they provided online were super helpful. QBank, QTrainers, and content review really helped

  6. Earplugs during NCLEX?

    katia0203 replied to lvcourtneyy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used the headphones and found them to be really helpful! I recommend

  7. You can pass NCLEX with 77 questions

    katia0203 replied to aspiring_midwife_wi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The NCLEX actually stops at 75 questions, so you can certainly pass it in that amount of questions. Generally it takes somewhere in the 120s-150s, but don't freak out if you haven't finished in 150...

  8. Question: Where are the nursing jobs?

    katia0203 replied to chuckster's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Not much to be found in MN

  9. can you apply for a job immediately after passing nclex

    katia0203 replied to hansef's topic in Nurse Registration

    It really varies from state to state how things are done. Here in MN, students generally start applying for jobs in early April, but most institutions won't know if jobs for new grads are really...

  10. can you apply for a job immediately after passing nclex

    katia0203 replied to hansef's topic in Nurse Registration

    Generally you can apply for positions before you even take the NCLEX, so I would absolutely go on ahead and apply. I take the test in June and I've been applying since Mid-March. It may vary from...

  11. Any Full-Time Jobs in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN for New Grads?

    katia0203 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey guys, So I've been scouring the websites of various hospitals in the Twin Cities, and it seems like all the jobs are either .8 or less. Is anyone aware of any currently externally posted full-time...

  13. Who can relate to this guy?

    katia0203 replied to KATRN78's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Don't lose hope LittleMiss, the economy will hopefully improve while you are in school. It's already improved since I started 4 years ago, which was right after the major collapse in 2008. No it's...

  14. Does an obese nurse set a bad example?

    katia0203 replied to sheyoung's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey now, this probably isn't the student's fault. If the assignment was to do a survey about the OP simple question, then that's the question that needs answering. The responses I've seen are well...

  15. Risk for Infection; more than one risk factor?

    katia0203 replied to BPBomber's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can do "Risk for infection related to surgical incision wound, open fracture of RLE and indwelling catheter. Or, related to disruption of normal tissue integrity and indwelling urinary catheter"....

  16. How Do You Study for Final Exams that are Cumulative?

    katia0203 replied to live&love&heal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You know, I'm a senior in my last semester and I still haven't figured out how to study for a cumulative exam. It really depends on what kinds of stuff the prof gave you for study materials. For...

  18. Frustrated after exam grade...the way the questions are asked..

    katia0203 replied to danceportal's topic in General Students

    This sounds like my school. The profs are trying to get you ready for the NCLEX I'm assuming. The questions on that exam are going to have 2 answers that are both right, and it is your job to pick the...

  19. Job competition between student nurses

    katia0203 replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in General Students

    I'm also going to graduate in May, and people in my class are friends and supportive but no one talks about jobs or job interviews. I would say it is out of respect; eliminating the stress of hearing...

  20. Entering your preferred starting salary...what to do?

    katia0203 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey guys, So I'm slotted to graduate this May with a BSN, and I'm going to be applying for hospital jobs in the Twin Cities in MN. The hospital I'm applying to is asking me on their application to...

  21. Any Full-Time Jobs in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN for New Grads?

    katia0203 replied to katia0203's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Also, is it even POSSIBLE to get a job in postpartum/L&D/NICU as a new grad? I'm having trouble finding something that requires less than 2 years experience in either of those
