  1. Conflicting evals

    Nolli posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have had a lot of evals up until this point and all were positive with a few minor things on them that they said I could improve and will improve with time and motivation. Not being so afraid of...

  2. Conflicting evals

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

    Things are better than they were before. I don't know everything and I still feel uncomfortable but I have kind of come to terms with the fact that I'm going to feel that way for awhile. The more I...

  3. New grad starting in ED in 2 months, what to review?

    Nolli posted a topic in Emergency

    So I passed my boards in July, but it took me a long time to find the elusive first job. I will be starting in the ED. I've been told I will mainly be doing adult, but I will possibly float peds and...

  4. Conflicting evals

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

    Just an update. So I talked with my new perm preceptor and asked them for honest, specific feedback. They gave me pointers like grouping tasks together, taking a moment to think about whether I have...

  5. Need help/advice in NJ

    Nolli replied to kom6221's topic in General Students

    The people you call on the phone are not actually at the NJ BON and do not have access to anything that the BON doesn't make specific note of in your file (this was relayed to me after I kept calling...

  6. Help!! I have a really mean manager

    Nolli replied to catgal's topic in General Students

    If they are not your manager/in charge of you, but are just supposed to be precepting you then you may be able to request a different preceptor as Rose said. I know you already asked them for help,...

  7. Please help !! Please help me ...

    Nolli replied to HoangViet's topic in General Students

    Hepatitis B is most commonly spread by exposure to blood or other body fluids such as through sexual contact. You can't spread it through casual contact such as touch. Kissing, hugging, and even...

  8. How long until youre not a ''new grad''

    Nolli replied to blackvans1234's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A lot of the hospitals in my area consider us to be new grads until we hit the year mark. But when I was applying for jobs fresh out of school my mentor, who also happens to be a nurse, said that...

  9. Starting out

    Nolli replied to kcassoday's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm orienting in the ED on 8s and 12s on days because my preceptor is, but I will be moving to nights and every other weekend by the end of it. It depends on unit and hospital needs, but its quite...

  10. Bad attitude!

    Nolli replied to ProLife_is_ProLove's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Rose is right. I don't know how long you've been out of school but its been 8 months for me. It took me 6 months to get interviews anywhere and until 7 to get an offer. I widened my search area looked...

  11. New grad over 1 year and a few months

    Nolli replied to Nurse J1112's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I second the others, don't give up. Some hospitals in our area will take people on as staff nurses who have done LTC, rehab, or home care for a year. One of the nurse residency programs in our area...

  12. New grad starting in ED in 2 months, what to review?

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in Emergency

    Wow didn't realize FAQ had all the stickies, was all "what stickies?" for a minute. Thank

  13. From Bachelor of Nursing to ADN

    Nolli replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    Ah the dreaded transfer dance. Your school records are confidential under FERPA so other schools don't have access to the fact that you failed. The only people who can really answer if you would be...

  14. Lack of new graduate jobs

    Nolli replied to LondonFog's topic in General Students

    My area is over saturated and I've been having issues, but at least I finally have a few interviews lined up vs just silent email rejections. My advice is start looking a year out from graduating at...

  15. Nursing school freakout

    Nolli replied to lancerswife's topic in General Students

    I think everyone has had some point where they were nervous and/or scared about what the future held. I myself have had cases of the what ifs regarding failure. The thing is you did get into nursing...

  16. Failed with 75 questions

    Nolli replied to hm1987's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used my powerpoint notes, Saunders, and HESI comprehensive review for the NCLEX-RN for content review. I've heard others have had success with Hurst or the NCSBN review, but have not personally...

  17. Summer Employment for Nursing Student, No CNA

    Nolli replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    I worked as a Nursing Assistant during school with no license because I was considered as having met all the educational requirements of a CNA by the state as long as I was enrolled in nursing school...

  18. Spinoff thread-A or pass

    Nolli replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

    I aimed for 4.0 because I found that my personal best seems to fall within the A range. Since I was capable of doing so I didn't want to accept a lower grade thinking that it meant I half assed it. I...

  19. Being a nanny before nursing school?

    Nolli replied to lmnop9999's topic in General Students

    I'm with the others, follow the money. You can always volunteer at a hospital, clinic, etc. Also dealing with kids all the time makes it easier to remember developmental milestones which is always a...

  20. Trying to pick myself back up

    Nolli posted a topic in General Students

    So I was supposed to have NCLEX today. Unfortunately I ended up in the ER instead due to a surprise kidney stone. The staff at the testing center was very nice and suggested I might not have to pay...

  21. Trying to pick myself back up

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    Update: I took my exam on Friday and I got the quick results today. I passed! It took me a few days to get over what happened but as I improved physically my mental state improved as well and I wasn't...

  22. My school says to only buy books from their bookstore...

    Nolli replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    Unless it is a package that must be bought ahead of time, I've always looked elsewhere for books. My program had an ebook package that was worth it since it included all required textbooks and all...

  23. Trying to pick myself back up

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    I feel like I went off a cliff emotionally. I spent two hours crying and rocking back and forth in a fetal position before the pain was controlled, I'm upset because I've worked so hard to get here, I...

  24. To cancel or not to cancel...

    Nolli posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm scheduled for NCLEX on Tuesday afternoon and now I have strep throat. I know I have 24 hours prior to the exam to cancel, but I've worked so hard to get to this point and I don't want to give...

  25. To cancel or not to cancel...

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    You were right about a few cancellations. I actually lucked out there was a closer test center that had 1 slot for the following week. It's not what I planned, but unfortunately I can't sleep my way...
