  1. New Grad Jobs: How to decide which area to begin working in?

    zeus&lincoln replied to whit_jones's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In regards to deciding where you want to be... If nothing stuck out to you during clinicals or practicum, why don't you try for a multi-system floor to see what you like. If there was no burning...

  2. New Grad Jobs: How to decide which area to begin working in?

    zeus&lincoln replied to whit_jones's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with the poster who said the job market varies by geographical location. If you are willing to migrate, you can find work! You do not have to settle for whatever is offered ...unless you have...

  3. How is having a dog during nursing school?

    zeus&lincoln replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    Having recently completed nursing school and having two Boston Terriers who are like children to me, I can tell you how difficult it was to have them while in nursing school. Had it not been for my...

  4. Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

    zeus&lincoln replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Wait, you just added more to the story. Why on earth would you think creating a care plan on patient 1 was more important than getting report on patient 2? You are just as much responsible for patient...

  5. Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

    zeus&lincoln replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Seems like the nurse made a stink to your college admin and the school doesn't want to lose the clinical site. Sites are extremely difficult to obtain (as you probably know) and losing them is not...

  6. Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

    zeus&lincoln replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The story seems a little convoluted to me. Were you the one hanging the med? If not, why would you be dinged for not being prepared? My school required us to go to the clinical site the evening before...

  7. Livescan fingerprinting

    zeus&lincoln replied to anemiasy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had to redo my fingerprints also... You must go to the same center (this way you don't have to repay to get your fingerprints scanned). The BON will give you a paper in the mail directing you on the...

  8. Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

    zeus&lincoln replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am sorry this is happening to you but three HUGE issues are incredibly apparent here. 1. You, not the nurse should be accountable for YOUR actions, always! Unfortunately this is going to be a hard...

  9. Preparing for my NCLEX Examination

    zeus&lincoln replied to kati.corirossi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's what worked for me... Understanding the basic content. I could've practiced a million questions and still not felt prepared to take the exam. Only you know your strengths and weaknesses. For...

    zeus&lincoln replied to kati.corirossi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello! I completed a 15month accel nursing program in August. I studied for boards for exactly 1 month (all day- 8am-6pm, everyday). I am notorious for being able to study for long stretches of time...

  12. Please help...........

    zeus&lincoln replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Having taken Hurst (and passed the NCLEX ) I would recommend you reviewing the content much more and rewatching the videos. The scores may or may not be indicative of passing boards but the more you...

    zeus&lincoln replied to jahall05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I know that Johnson & Johnson had a couple of scholarships, and I don't know the others offhand since I did not utilize these to pay for my schooling. However, your financial aid department...

  14. I will already have a BS in different field...

    zeus&lincoln replied to jahall05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have just completed a 15 month accel BSN program. My prior degree was in education which meant that I had to take ALL of the prerequisites that were required for entry to my accel program prior to...

  15. ACLS/PALS for new grad?

    zeus&lincoln replied to ctam28's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Check with the hospital systems that you are looking to apply to. Many will provide those certifications during orientation (even if you already have them you'll have to retake them). I was over eager...

  16. Failed at 75, 2nd time PASSED at 180!

    zeus&lincoln replied to LittleNurse15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can pass or fail at any number, including 75. You have the opportunity to pass or fail between 75 questions and 265

  17. Test on hold now good pop???? Please help

    zeus&lincoln replied to AngleNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was scared too... I figured with my luck, I would be the only one who got the good pop up and still failed, but that was not true. However, it was a great sense of relieve to see my grade report as...

  18. Test on hold now good pop???? Please help

    zeus&lincoln replied to AngleNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got less than 10 SATA and finished in 75q... I tried the pvt, got the good pop up and found out I passed this morning! Congrats

  19. So many SATA!

    zeus&lincoln replied to mdeanrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed boards yesterday and only received roughly 10 SATA. I was worried because everyone says SATA are a good barometer that you are doing well. I think the test is just extremely variable. I think...

  20. Shock Priority: Oxygen or IV ?

    zeus&lincoln replied to souleater11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    By definition shock occurs because tissues don't have the appropriate amount of oxygen. Therefore cells do not have enough nutrients to function properly. So for this question, you would treat the...

  21. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    zeus&lincoln replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Good luck!!! Today will be the day around 5ish. They do that purposefully so that they aren't bombarded by people who didn't get in, get wait listed or overachievers like you all who want to know...

  22. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    zeus&lincoln replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    In regards to the scheduling question, it is completely random. You WILL only find out where your going about 1 week prior to the start of clinicals for the hospital setting so be prepared for that....

  23. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    zeus&lincoln replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

  24. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    zeus&lincoln replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ohhh and working will be near impossible during your first two semesters. 2nd semester is said to be the hardest. Some people are currently working in the third semester bc we have more free time but...

  25. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    zeus&lincoln replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I understand that RN4kelly had a harsh experience at UCF and she does make extremely valid points in regards to skills labs being limited and group work in the first semester to be the focus (this...
