    champagnesupeRNova replied to Guttercat's topic in Nursing Humor

    6 weeks after graduation. I studied for 3 weeks and passed and if I could go back and do it again, I'd definitely take it

  5. omg everybody passed got alot SATA (my weakness)

    champagnesupeRNova replied to Skaur2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You seriously think that randomly guessing 2 choices on a SATA is a good strategy? I mean, this is the NCLEX, you could at least TRY to reason out the answer. What are you going to lose by attempting...

    champagnesupeRNova replied to luvmyboys's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    champagnesupeRNova posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just took it! 75 questions, 22 SATA, GOOD POP UP! It honestly wasn't as bad as I thought. This board caused me major anxiety! LOL. The SATA were easier than anything I practiced in Kaplan or...

  11. What is the most bizarre thing you have experienced in your career?

    champagnesupeRNova replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

  12. For all you new grads...what does your resume look like?

    champagnesupeRNova replied to pnkgirl25's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would definitely recommend putting your clinical experience on your resume if you don't have any healthcare experience. Put down skills that you learned during that time and what you gained...

  13. Question about Nurses Schedules

    champagnesupeRNova replied to jojonurse13's topic in General Nursing

    If you do go for nursing, just have the mentality that you're going to be working night shift for at least 2 years. Better to prepare yourself now than have anxiety later. It would be rare if you got...

    champagnesupeRNova replied to katherinejoy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The ABSN program I went to calculated the GPA for all college coursework TOGETHER. So my crappy first Bachelor's GPA got improved by my good pre-requisite GPA. If you get good grades in your pre-req...

  17. ATI Appeal

    champagnesupeRNova replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry about your situation. My school had the exact same ATI policy and two people in our class didn't pass the Peds ATI twice and were failed for the course because of that. The bad thing was...

  18. The only skill I don't understand is BLOOD PRESSURE!

    champagnesupeRNova replied to sakiohma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ditto to the above suggestions. Also make sure the stethoscope is set to the diaphragm part and not the bell (by twisting the tubing and testing the sound). When you're taking a bp, make sure it's...

  22. Your thoughts on being "written up".

    champagnesupeRNova replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is belittling, unprofessional, kills morale, and makes workers feel dispensable and unappreciated. I can't understand how a manager could run a unit like that. Whatever happened to "A happy...

    champagnesupeRNova replied to champagnesupeRNova's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you all! RoseRyan, I did my senior preceptorship in the NICU and got about 240 hours of experience there. I think that's the main thing that led to an interview. I also e-mailed and called the...

  24. Stupid things that nurses say

    champagnesupeRNova replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor
