  1. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't he doing in this post EXACTLY what he is complaining about. Except instead of crying in a bathroom he is venting to strangers on social media. Why isn't he out there trying to unite the nurses...

  2. When to Start U-World

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I *knock on wood* will be graduating early June of next year. I want to schedule my NCLEX asap. I am certain I want to use U-World as part of my prep. If money is not an issue, how early would you...

  3. Is the ATI TEAS really that difficult?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Medman8989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From here on out, you have to really shift your grading perspective, LOL. Entrance exams for nursing are hard. For both TEAS and the other one whose name escapes me, people rarely get in the 90's....

  4. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    If it says "enlist the help of a family member", then that family member is present and available. Unless it specifically says otherwise, NCLEX is a perfect world. If one of the answers lists a...

  5. Getting pregnant during last semester or during new job?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Steph82997's topic in General Students

    The old school "make sure you get married first" annoys me. But I know that's because I've been in a committed unmarried relationship for 10 years. A ring wouldn't make our commitment any stronger....

  6. I'm Back!

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in General Students

    It's been well over a year since I have been active in AN! I've been in the shadow the last 2 months but I finally signed in to say hi. Long story short, my brother got into some wonderful legal...

  7. WILT 11/5: No Fast Track for YOU...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    11 days to my birthday 29 days until the last day of class 34 days until my final Thats literally my mantra every day right now. School is not particularly hard, I just learned that I am *over it*...

  8. New Grad Negotiations

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Now before everyone jumps down my throat let me explain. I currently live somewhere where there actually IS a nursing shortage. It's October, and the hospitals are already starting recruitment...

  9. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    So what I am saying is that the shortages are a) regional-- think places where people don't want to live and b) for experienced nurses in most

  10. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Same where I live. I was doing clinicals on a tele unit earlier this semester and the floor manager told us that the hospital system officially declared itself as having a nursing shortage. She said...

  11. WILTW 10/29: Trauma for breakfast

    AspiringNurseMW replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I've realized just how much I miss the app. . I used to be on AN pretty much every day, but now if I check in once a month that feels like alot. Using the website feels so cumbersome now. After...

  12. New Grad Negotiations

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks! I didn't know when was the best time to ask. When filling out an application, one of them actually had a spot for desired salary that was mandatory. I had no clue what to put in there so I...

  13. New Grad Negotiations

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was hoping to hear if this was at all possible because most of the posts when other new grads ask all say, no don't ask and just be grateful you have a job. What is wrong to coming to a forum filled...

  14. Highest Paid NP for 2015, According to AANP, Are NNPs

    AspiringNurseMW replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am disappointed, and yet somehow not surprised to see that Women's Health pays the least. I wonder why. And I wonder if CNM's are included in that

  15. 8/13 this week, I've learned the connection between AN desktop, insurance, and HR

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I am RARELY on here now that there is no App. I miss it, but I find being on the desktop version, whether on mobile or my computer to be so disappointing. I mean, seeing as to how school starts in 11...

  16. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Annie_1101's topic in General Students

    We already learned how to do Foley insertions 1st semester, 2nd semester was setting up iv tubing and managing pumps. We do IV 4th semester, but only on dummies, we are not allowed to start them in...

  17. 7/30 This week, I learned Deanna Troi sucks

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned this week that the AN app is no longer working. I suppose with school starting again in a month I should be happy, because its a very easy distraction. But I'm mostly just annoyed/sad. I...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

    OMG THIS DRIVE ME NUTS! I pointed it out to my husband just last

  19. Hispanic Student Failed Nclex 1st time.

    AspiringNurseMW replied to FutureRn2018ly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! I haven't graduated yet but about a year ago I joined the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN). Perhaps look into joining or maybe attending a local meeting if there is one. The...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

    That every woman's labor starts with SROM and they are immediately and precipitously in

  21. Length of maternity/infant placement

    AspiringNurseMW replied to lpn-rn_bn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got about 6 12 hour shifts for clinicals. This included L&D, PP, and NICU. But if census was low we went to PP, if our patient delivered we followed them to PP, and if we were in NICU it was...

  22. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    That, is NOT a friend. I think the easy answer is to get a new one. My friends who know I am in nursing school are understanding, even if they are in a completely different major (or not in school...

  23. Post-Orientation Doubts

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Students

    About to enter the last year of my community college nursing program. Intense. Yes. Will it break you. No? That's a bit much. The fact that you are here and already acknowledge how difficult it could...

  24. New Grad with no experience got LOW OFFER (need advice)

    AspiringNurseMW replied to tzrlzRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I would take it. Breaking into hospitals in NYC as a new grad is difficult from what I've heard, even with a BSN. You might be spending quite a while waiting for that job to come by. You're better off...

  25. How does working as an R.N. beforehand help in being a nurse practitioner?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to sarahnp2b103's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm over here sitting with a drink and some popcorn, this will get interesting. Also, OP, you might want to change your username if the np part refers to being a Nurse Practitioner. Only those who...
