Oh, I guess the new manager has the same interpretation that most of us are used to. Idk, glad they're clarifying it for everyone so this misunderstanding doesn't happen again.

I agree with others. I don't know how long you've been in nursing but typically when you are hired, they should have explained to you what time they start placing calls for flexing/call shifts. When I am on call for my 7p to 7a shift, it is understo...

This is what my hospital does.

Hi, I'm thinking about moving the the D.C area within the next 6 months or so. I have family in the area and loved it when I visited earlier this year. I have 4 years experience, 1.5 yrs in intermediate/step-down and 2.5 yrs postpartum where I work c...

$18,000/semester for a nursing degree? Are you saying this private school was the ONLY place you could get into? I just feel like that's alot. When you applied did you know the cost and did you have a plan in place for how to pay for it? Is this an A...

Are you in nursing school yet? The only time I qualified was after I was already in a program.

Did you know how much the school cost before applying? Why did you not accept the federal loan offer without having an alternative option? Even though they did not cover everything it would have been something to help in the mean time while searching...

Thank you so much for this info. I agree that I would like to try and balance safety, cost and being close to things to do in my spare time. I have a car so if I had to commute I would be okay with it. Any ideas on surrounding towns/cities that are c...

Hi, So I am looking into travel nursing, if possible doing postpartum (mothers only). Does anyone have any experience doing this or think it is possible? Most of the positions I see are for mother/baby. Problem is the hospital where I am permanently ...

Hello! I'm a RN thinking about moving to the D.C area and working in postpartum or mother/baby. I've been a nurse for 4 years (1.5 years step down/intermediate care and 2.5 working postpartum). I'm applying to a Medstar Washington Hospital Center pos...

Thanks for the suggestion. I make between $30-$34 currently with night shift diff factored in at my current hospital, so I would definitely need it to be more than that for me to be able to afford to move.

Hi, I'm a 29 year old female thinking about moving the the Dallas area within the next 6 months or so. I have family in Tyler and am wanting to move to a bigger city for more things to do when I'm off. I have 4 years experience, 1.5 yrs in intermedia...

Our facility is the same

For some, their last name gives a hint.

I always bought my books used online unless I couldn't find it anywhere cheaper than my bookstore. I always bought like new/new if the price was right. If I ended up buying it from the bookstore, I would look through the ones they had for the one in ...

I took all 265 questions and passed, so don't let what other said about you probably not passing discourage you :)

This is true. People try to study content on the basis that it MIGHT be covered on the exam, and I feel that it's just wasting time. Same with people trying to study certain medications. I feel that strategies help more than anything. My exams in nur...

Thanks for the help you provided with the pharm notes. I added to my file of reference materials on my computer that I plan on keeping for work.:)

In my opinion, I feel that the NCLEX was easier than the HESI. That's probably due to me using Kaplan's review book, so I was sort of familiar with the format of the questions, even though they weren't exactly the same. Granted, I ended up having to ...

I was lucky enough to have a part time job where my employer would allow me to schedule my work hours around my classes and clinical schedule each semester. Granted, its a very small practice where I was the only secretary for the first 2 years I wor...

SATA: Select All That Apply

Majority of places you apply to only accept applications online. Most have a section where you can upload additional documents like certifications, resume, cover letter, transcripts, etc. That is where you can provide those documents. I would also ha...

Congrats on the pop up! I had the same feelings as you during the test. Once I got to around 160, I pretty much knew I was going to have to take the whole test. But at the same time, I remembered that if you are still getting questions then it means ...

Because when you get it, at first you are ecstatic, and then soon after doubt starts to creep in and you think that you might be that one person that it ends up being a false positive for, lol. That's how I felt yesterday. I took the test for 6 hours...

I too took the the NCLEX today with 265 questions and took almost the full 6 hours. I also got this pop up so I am hoping that I passed as well.
