  1. Exactly almost a month ago, I went on an interview for my dream job. (link to that thread: https://allnurses.com/nursing-first-job/looking-need-some-961784.html) It was at a pretty well-known company that specializes in psych patients and substance a...
  2. Dream job too good to be true?I Need to vent, I feel so lost right now

    Ohhh, that's exciting!! Good luck =)
  3. Dream job too good to be true?I Need to vent, I feel so lost right now

    That seems to be about the rate that this is going. I wish I had your patience! I'm glad it worked out for you in the end though. Gives me hope! - Haha, I had a moment in which I felt like a 6 year old today. I started started singing out loud around...
  4. Dream job too good to be true?I Need to vent, I feel so lost right now

    That's exactly what I'm afraid of as well! I mean I know nurses have a hot/cold relationship with HR departments in general. I figured if I was efficient, and got everything done in a organized and timely manner, it would help move the process along....
  5. Dream job too good to be true?I Need to vent, I feel so lost right now

    Wow, four months! I would have been a walking anxiety attack lol. I always try and get stuff done because I never want to "waste anyone's time" (not that I'm perfect by any means though) and I guess I thought a company would be the same way. (Naive o...
  6. Dream job too good to be true?I Need to vent, I feel so lost right now

    " I get a sense between the two threads you have a tendency to overthink things, and that can be exhausting and frustrating! :) " Yes, definitely! That's why I've waited days and days to contact them. (Lol, I was trying to teach myself patience haha....
  7. Hate Medical Nursing! I want Psych!

    I can't give you the "right" answer, only you yourself can decide that. Your predicament was the exact opposite of how I was feeling, but I understand where you're coming from. I'm a new nurse, but I've always loved psych. I many times had thought a...
  8. - I graduated school at the very end of July, and took and passed my NCLEX (PN) in the beginning of September. I have sent out about (at least, probably more) about 50 resumes/filled out applications. I should mention that I live in N.Y, and the nurs...
  9. Looking/need some honest feedback (sorry, for the long post.)

    So you didn't get hired even after the interview went well and they wanted to hire you etc? Honestly that really stinks! Plenty of people get hired for positions that they don't exactly "meet every single requirement" because they have a relative or ...
  10. Looking/need some honest feedback (sorry, for the long post.)

    Thanks, venting on here to you guys really helps ease my anxiety. I keep re-reading everything whenever, I start thinking too much about it. Random question though- Can they complete a background check even if I haven't signed anything? (In nursing ...
  11. contact, droplet, airborne oh my!

    Contact Precautions Before entering: Wash hands THEN don gloves 1st and gown 2nd. Pt. gets private room. Upon leaving: Remove gloves 1st and then gown. Gown worn during transport. Examples: MRSA, RSV (also droplet), C. DIFF, Scabbies Airborne Precaut...
  12. NCLEX

    There's no "magic" study book/guide for the NCLEX. If you peruse around All Nurses you will see equal arguments and recommendations for all of them (even for some you've never even heard of.) I would go to the library or if you have a tablet or kindl...
  13. Testing

    A month is a good amount of time. I took (and passed my nclex) about a month and 10 days after I had graduated. Make yourself a study schedule and don't go crazy with too many study books, especially when there is so many other (cheaper resources) to...
  14. Passed with Few Sata

    When I took the nclex (back in September.) I hardly had any SATA (maybe 10, possibly 15 but that's pushing it.) My classmates kept saying that they had "tons" and "tons" and it was making me really nervous. I did however, have quite a few "priority" ...
  15. Looking/need some honest feedback (sorry, for the long post.)

    Unfortunately I still haven't heard back from them (it will be a week since my interview on Wed.) I was thinking about sending an e-mail to the person I interviewed with thanking them for meeting with me. However, I remembered that when I sent over a...

  18. Just found out about an hour ago that I passed the NCLEX (PN). I took it on September 10th 2014 at approx 1:15 pm. I'll get to everything you really want to know (but first let me tell you my background & how I prepared.) If you want, feel free ...
  19. *aren't any SATA, *Brush up (oops)
  20. Looking/need some honest feedback (sorry, for the long post.)

    Thanks Everyone! I really appreciate it. I kept reading what a few members of my graduating class was saying about how their interviews went, and how long after they were hired (a couple on the spot) etc, & I just really let that, combined with m...
  21. Thank you!! I definitely should have thought about all of this before I worried myself silly. I never even took into account that they had to verify my license ( I scanned copies etc) I guess I stupidly thought that it takes myself about 5 seconds to...
  22. Yeah, that would make sense. I just hate not being able to make heads or tails of the situation "officially". I can't believe I didn't ask some of the "little" questions either, I feel like such an idiot lol. I was so excited to be interviewing for a...
  23. - First, breath & relax about the ATI PN exit exam. It's easier than the NCLEX because they're aren't (at least when I took it in July) at SATA questions, it was all multiple choice. Make sure you know about "therapeutic communication" and bruch ...
  24. allnurses Ebola Preparedness Survey Makes the News.

    Please don't forget to add LPN into that. I tried defending nurses & advocating for more education in comments on boards (CNN, huffington post etc) and I was told to "Shut up because I'm only a Little Pretend Nurse and I was not allowed to speak ...
  25. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    Texas nurse fighting Ebola receives blood transfusion from survivor Dr Kent Brantly - who also matched blood types with two others | Daily Mail Online This looks promising, and makes me very happy to hear. Hoping and praying it works.
