  3. RNC certification review book?

    NeoNurseTX replied to gudiarani's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The core review one is pretty worthless. I used notes by Linda Jurestchke (sp?) with NICU Solutions and attended her conference and passed with "very strong" in every area. She knew just what weird...

    NeoNurseTX replied to futurenurseheather's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  10. For those that have taken the RNC or CCRN

    NeoNurseTX replied to I'mANurse!'s topic in NICU, Neonatal

  12. Time to call a duck a duck?

    NeoNurseTX replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    At first I disagreed with you but I think you are right. No need to flame. You seem happy doing what you're doing but we really are just laborers who do things most laborers do not...dealing with...

  15. Can I Still Specialize If I Get A Degree From Community College?

    NeoNurseTX replied to KristinMC's topic in General Students

    RN is RN so yes you, can. CRNA is not as much a specialty as is NICU, cardio, etc. It's an advanced practice role that requires a master's

    I got in the first time I

  17. Things to take away from shadowing a nurse?

    NeoNurseTX replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    Without knowing much about nursing, you may not take as much from shadowing as you would if you've done a few clinicals. I would take away how your nurse manages his/her time and prioritizes care....

  18. Nursing and Money Makin'

    NeoNurseTX replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    I live comfortably and travel often...and I'm only part time (and single so no help with income there). There is a lot of money to be made in picking up OT but it is not always available

    NeoNurseTX replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in General Students

    it's possible. I study great on my own but did groups here and there and I was usually the one with the random facts that would show up on tests. Besides socially, they weren't much of a benefit to...

  24. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    NeoNurseTX replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    $$$. And nurses seem to be unable to organize anyway so why bother? I'm a member of my specialty's association and actually learn about things I can

  25. How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?
