    job jargon

    RN403 replied to LisaThornton's topic in General Students

    Just a guess, could this possibly be the floors of the hospital in which the open position is located? A few times I have had to call HR to find out what exactly that floor specializes in (Ortho,...

    Stethoscope Engraving?

    RN403 replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    If you are considering engraving your stethoscope to prevent theft, I would go with the cheaper and hassle-free option, which is to keep it in your pocket and don't let it go. If you do give it up,...

    RN403 replied to Tatevik's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Have you received your ATI books yet? You can use your ATI Med-Surg book to prepare, also, just do a lot of practice ATI Med-Surg questions via the practice assessments on the ATI site. You could also...

    Whats the best strategy?

    RN403 replied to natantantan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Spending 4 hours on 75 questions will lead to over thinking. Aiming to get the first 75 correct is adding unnecessary stress to the test-taking experience, IMO. She should just aim to try her best and...

    What Watch to choose?

    RN403 replied to Roxannee's topic in General Students

    RN403 replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are you referring to a question in the Kaplan material or just overall what the review states? I'm asking because if they are two different questions then there may be some information in each that...

    My # was posted by Monday morning. It varies my state. How long has it been taking for your classmates' #s to appear? That might be a good way to estimate approximately how many business days it will...

    Does Everyone Actually Hate Nurses?

    RN403 replied to Casha9's topic in General Nursing

    You took the words out of my mouth (or out of my keyboard, I suppose). I was going to ask this and say, some people make negative comments but don't realize what goes into being a nurse. Don't let...

    Need advice about job hunting...I am burnd-out!

    RN403 replied to Mentalageis16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am in the same boat as you and a lot of new grads right now. The reality is it is expensive to hire new grads and there are a lot of us out there right now with only a limited # of positions open. I...

    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree. I've seen a similar situation where a nurse posted about drinking prior to being called in for work. Didn't end well. But you're right, their posts may have prevented grave...
