  2. How do I survive a crazy schedule, with kid, husband who works even crazier schedule?

    CP2013 replied to BCRN1984's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that blew up. Think about it. Every new nurse to a unit only wants to work weekends and sped the whole week with their kids while hubby works 9-5 Mon-Fri. Um...nursing is a 24/7 job. Someone...

    CP2013 replied to FLNurseGuy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Try moving around if possible. Rural areas are more likely to hire new grads because they need staff. Metropolitan areas and towns often have their pick of BSN grads, and even then, BSN grads with CNA...

  12. About to graduate with my BSN...but reconsidering nursing?

    CP2013 replied to brochocinco's topic in General Students

    CP2013 replied to tandv07's topic in General Students

    Going to take ATI Med Surg within 12 hours, consistently scoring roughly 70% on all areas except endocrine. I am reviewing it now. I need a level 3 on the exam. Will the practice tests prepare me or...

  16. Med-Surg ATI

    CP2013 replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in General Students

    I'm getting roughly 70% on the practice tests. But is this going to even be helpful if the real one is nothing like the practice? I am doing the focused assessments (respiratory, cardiovascular,...

  25. Took my relative to the ED

    CP2013 replied to CP2013's topic in Emergency

    Hahahaha I always think about this and wonder why anyone would want to ride in an ambulance without truly being sick. They've got to be a little trickier than a firmly planted ED stretcher. Sent from...
