  3. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Slobgob replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Slavery? Japanese Internment? Breaking the 14th Amendment? You sound like I did in High School taking 11th grade American History/Government. Those were the days... I could compare slavery to the lack...

  4. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Slobgob replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, most students that only answer 75 questios probably answer well above 50% right. If you consider that 15 questions are test questions... some people only answer 60 questions, while others...

  5. Rambling Physics and Chemistry question..now or later?

    Slobgob replied to Peachy720's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  6. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Slobgob replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Slobgob replied to EmmalynsMommy's topic in Nursing Career

  8. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Slobgob replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Slobgob replied to KatrinaPM's topic in MICU, SICU

    "Maybe save my back." Heh. that aspect is probably one of the best reasons. I don't know how many clinical days i've ended with a back ache... and i'm doing less than 8 hours and still in my 20s. I...

  11. New Grad Decisions MICU vs NICU?

    Slobgob replied to KatrinaPM's topic in MICU, SICU

    Gompers brought up a good point I forgot to mention... Adults are guitly, babies are innocent! =) I currently work in a psych/rehab hospital... and WAY too many times I've caught myself mumbling,...

  12. New Grad Decisions MICU vs NICU?

    Slobgob replied to KatrinaPM's topic in MICU, SICU

    Sorry... I don't really have an answer. I've been thinking about the exact same senario the last few weeks. I'm still in nursing school, but I look at these two fields as my two front-runners. Here...

    Slobgob replied to nursebraswell's topic in Nursing Career

    Obviously: Have you ever worked psych? Have you ever worked with children? Why do you want to work here? Why do you want to work with kids? More probing questions, but less frequently: How do you...

  16. Is there REALLY such a thing as overachieving?

    Slobgob replied to CRNAinTHEfuture's topic in Nursing Career

    Actually... that's another little matter that irks me. In some regard my grades might be a little better, if only I memorized the specific gravity of the neonate's most concentrated urine...

  17. Is there REALLY such a thing as overachieving?

    Slobgob replied to CRNAinTHEfuture's topic in Nursing Career

    Is there such a thing as overachieving? The answer is "no", and the reason is because there is only 24 hours in everyone's day. The so called "over-achievers, through this logic, must be...

    Slobgob replied to malusport's topic in Nursing Career

    3-11:30 pm But then again, psych hospitals around here tend to gravitate towards 8hr shifts for everyone. Evening shift seems to be the easiest to get... everyone around here wants to work NOC or...
