I would love to move to AZ by next year. At the moment I am in a med/surge/oncology floor... I am moving to the orthopedic/neurosurgery and some med/surge floor. I love that floor as there is no more oncology patients and I love to work with ortho pa...

Thank you very much, sounds very nice... It looks like a very nice hospital :)

Okay, thank you very much, you have answered my question!!! :)

I'm pretty clueless about this because as most new nurses, I have not been interviewed for a "professional" position thus far. I wore casual wear for my current non-professional position. In Nursing school, I heard is good to invest in professional l...

Congratulations Nurse, and happy job hunting!!!

Very doable. I remember taking A&P II with chemistry part I together while working full time. A&P was the one I had to concentrate for and study for. Chemistry wasn't bad, it was fun, I would read a chapter the day before the quizzes. I w...

Get to know at least one person from the class ahead of you, and make sure you ask for detailed tips on how to pass the class before each semester starts.

The way we were taught in school was to list our clinical experience, I tried to shorten it a bit to make it fit into one page. At first I made a resume that was two pages long, excluding the reference page, but I have not received a single call in a...

My goal is to get a 12 hour shift job.. I would love it if it happened to be three days in a row... Since I have no children, I would see it as a reason to hybernate from the outside world for three days and then enjoy my four days off... I see it a...

They are minor skills, but a lot of nurses in my program haven't even performed NG suctioning or hung up the tube feedings, or hung up piggyback meds... I was able to do that in my last semester at my preceptorship, so that's why it makes me think th...

Yes, that's what I was thinking, I hear short and to the point, but to me it doesn't sound like it matches the whole resume. I was thinking of one of these two: Spanish – Expert Fluency Proficient knowledge of disease processes and medical terminolo...

Everything doesn't look as spaced out and actually fits in one page.... and it aligns nicely, I just need some feedback.... Thank you!!!

Depending on how long it takes to get a CNA, it could be a waste of time and money, or not. From my quick reading that I read online a couple of minutes ago, I think it would be a good choice. It appears that is a one semester training course, so is...

I tried to work full time and do Nursing school, and it was hard lol. After the first month, I began working part time hours depending on my schooling, 20-30 hours a week, back to 40 hours whenever I was on break. With working, you can expect to wor...

Thank you all very much, I will try Banana Republic one of these days, those other stores mentioned, I don't have locally. Anyways, thanks for all the help, and for those that shop in Nordstrom, they currently have a sale, I just got some non-intervi...

Like the above poster said, how much studying do you think you will need. Is all up to you. I felt like I would needed at least a month because I would be working full time as well and I would not be strictly studying in that time. Without work, I pr...

Wow, type in prison nursing or correctional nursing in the google box. I just did and it lead me to a bunch of threads about correctional nurses in allnurses.com. After reading a bit in one thread, you have to have a lot of guts and be able to not ...

Have you done the Pearson Vue Trick, they have a youtube video on how to do it. I'm sure you passed, if you had 265 questions is because the NCLEX had faith in you and let you made up others that you got wrong. Good luck!!!

I know school takes a lot of time. I've studied for my NCLEX while working full time, but work is work, I find school/homework more stressful than just working at my same old job of five years. My tip would be to install NCLEX apps that have the high...

That sounds doable. Before Nursing school (during my pre-reqs), I took 2-5 classes at a time and worked full time. The thing is that I went to ratemyprofessor.com and took the best rated (easier) professor who taught at the times that I wanted (mo...

Congratulations, congratulations and congratulations!!!

I used Hurst online review, and I think that is good "tutoring" per say for content. They also answer your nursing questions quickly supposedly, I never used it, so I can't say. I believe Hurst would be a cheaper way of doing a review (They had a run...

lol, those are the exact apps I used the most. I would also suggest doing all of Kaplan Q trainers, there's also the NCLEX pediatric and NCLEX reviewer app, those two have some questions too and are free. I have an android too, so I know they work.

lol, that's exactly how I feel, but in a different situation. I was in the cubicle, got accepted, saw the cublicle less and enjoyed Nursing school. Nursing school is over and am full time at the cubicle again. Ahhh.. waiting to get some calls for ...

Remember that this is school and you are there to pass. Study however you've studied in the past because it brought you this far. I always studied alone and I continued to study alone throughout Nursing school, there's nothing wrong with that. As ...
