  1. There Are Places Where the Nursing Shortage Is Still Real... Let's List Some to Help!

    SubSippi replied to WideOpenHeart's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wouldn't say there's a shortage in Mississippi, but most people are getting some sort of hospital job. It's not as awful of a place as people think it is, I

  2. first quarter down/ nursing process ?

    SubSippi replied to jddm163's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You should be able to make nursing diagnoses on a patient without having any clue what his or her medical diagnosis is. When you assess your patient, what do you find? For example, listen to the lung...

  3. Early, late, and variable deceleration help!

    SubSippi replied to springchick1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you heard of veal chop? Probably the most helpful pneumonic I learned in school.... V.ariable = C.ord compression E.arly = H.ead compression A.cceleration = O.kay L.ate = P.lacental insufficiency...

  4. Advice on "setting boundaries"

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

    Ok. Sorry if I'm sounding thick-headed, I just want to know what y'all think this sounds like. So if someone is being combative, and I said something like, "I know you're upset, but I can't tolerate...

  5. Is it worth it anymore?

    SubSippi replied to shaniceg's topic in General Students

    Something else to keep in mind, is that while doctors make much more money, they often times spend too much time working to enjoy it. It's true that you won't get rich being a nurse, but you can make...

  6. Interviewers like me, but I don't get hired. What's going on?

    SubSippi replied to greyL's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The good news is you're getting interviews, which is hardest part. It might not hurt to ask for some feedback if you didn't get a job somewhere. In the interviews, ask what qualities they're looking...

  7. Interview status "pending"

    SubSippi replied to mhy12784's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Even if it's pending, it's still not a no! From what I've seen in this forum, four weeks isn't an insanely long amount of time to

  8. Applying for jobs in another compact state.

    SubSippi replied to KJ87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I got a job in NC, and applied from out of state. I remember seeing that kind of thing on an application, and said that I didn't have an NC license. I still got interviews from all three places I...

  9. Entering my last semester of nursing school

    SubSippi replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Do you know which facilities you'd like to work at? Down here where I went to school, none of the hospitals have designated new grad programs, so there wasn't much of a point in applying before you...

  10. Still can't find a first job

    SubSippi replied to mon00707's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow...even though it was stated in your contract that you might have to work in an non-RN job, that sounds like a load of bulls****. They knew they were giving the impression that the people they gave...

  11. How far are you willing to commute?

    SubSippi replied to Katniss88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm about to start my first job, and it's about a 45 minute commute. I don't think that's too bad, especially since I had to drive 45 minutes to work in a restaurant when the economy was at its worst....

  12. Pearsonvue trick-cc screen and freaking out

    SubSippi replied to pilgrim192's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know it's upsetting to you, anyone would be distraught. Don't get too down on yourself, though. Just remember that when you're applying for jobs, no one will ask you how many times it took for you...

  13. Becoming discouraged with science prereqs

    SubSippi replied to tcov93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Knowing anatomy is important for nursing school, but as far as chemistry and biology go...it may be a little helpful, but you shouldn't stress if you don't know the material inside and out. It doesn't...

  14. Employer's Negative Response to Teaching Hospital Experience

    SubSippi replied to slr0610's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I doubt the behavior of the nurse managers are an indication of what they think about you...they don't even know you. I understand the inclination to take questions like that a little personally (I...

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

    So you don't get in trouble for walking out of the

  16. Hurst Q-review questions

    SubSippi replied to LMICHEL,RN2B's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the Hurst Review online, and passed the NCLEX a couple weeks ago with 75 questions. I wanted to post my practice test scores, because there don't seem to be many people posting their scores...

  17. OB nursing was the one thing I didn't want to do!

    SubSippi posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I thought I would hate OB, or at least be disinterested, and I loved it! I would say though, that a good third of the girls in my nursing program have said they wanted to be L&D or NICU nurses...

  18. nursing exams

    SubSippi replied to LOLA184's topic in General Students

    When I was in school, I was the worst about changing my answers, especially at first. I talked to one of my teachers and she told me that I HAD to quit doing that, even if one switch was right,...

  19. Strange question posed to me today

    SubSippi replied to etabor's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that, there's no way a school would allow that to go on. It would be a lawsuit waiting to

  20. I take NCLEX tomorrow... I did Hurst review. Advice please

    SubSippi replied to Clairealex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I take mine on Wednesday! I wasn't nervous before, but now that it's getting closer I'm starting to get that feeling in the pit of my stomach. Clairealex - I took Hurst, also. According to their...

  21. Public's lack of knowledge about what nursing actually is

    SubSippi replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Before I started nursing school, I figured that I'd learn about as much in two years as they actually taught us in the first semester. I kept thinking...what ELSE could they possible teach us?! I had...

  22. Question for atheist nurses

    SubSippi replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I live in the deep, deeeeep south, and while I have many atheist friends, I'm almost always alone in my beliefs when I'm in a hospital setting. It doesn't bother me, I've grown up around Christians, a...

  23. OB nursing was the one thing I didn't want to do!

    SubSippi replied to SubSippi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ha yeah that's not a problem! It's the pro-female atmosphere I really enjoy, not necessarily a complete absence of men. Although when I have a baby, I'm going to search high and low for a female OB I...

  24. Poop Free Nursing Jobs in the Hospital?

    SubSippi replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Is it the fact that you have a physical reaction to the smell that you can't help? A good tip is to put on a mask, and put a couple drop of peppermint oil in the mask before you put it on. You...

  25. Let go from orientation

    SubSippi replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Some hospitals don't do those really intense background check. My nurse recruiter told me that they do theirs "manually," which she said means she just calls the places I already had listen on my...
