You said you were memorizing questions online, enabling you to pass, making it sound like you were using test bank questions... I'm a little confused that you originally start by describing yourself as a student not nearly ready to be a nurse. Once ...

Make sure you know your rhythms and treatments. I like the following http://medicine.iu.edu/residents/index.php/download_file/view/416/94/ if it doesn't open google Indiana university acls study guide. The class teaches you how to work as a team and ...

With so many nursing students already unemployed and more graduating all of the time, BSN seems to have an advantage in the job market. In saying that, I think it really depends on the area you live in and if you are willing to move for a job. If you...

But do you want to be just a 3.0 student when advanced practice programs are becoming more competitive? Especially for a good program?

The Versant residency program advocates for starting new grads with new nurses. The reasoning being that new nurses understand and remember what it was like for them

You should call your state board

18 weeks through Versant

A friend of mine has a similar issue with an arrest from 15 years ago. She even sent all the ppw to the CA BRN. She was told they need more, but it will work out. Cali says an enforcement delay puts your application back 1-2 months

I would suggest not spending a lot of money on a bag. They really get beat up in nursing school! Some people I went to school with swear by a rolling suitcase or a toolbag. I have a small backup I take to work.

Thanks for sharing!! Kids can definitely be cruel, especially high school!

Just giving the OP the answer is doing a dis service. The other posters just wanted to know what her thought process was. Having someone else give you answers without doing any of the work yourself is cheating and a loss of a learning opportunity

There is definitely a need for nurses...with experience. Finding a job as a new grad is extremely difficult , but it can be done. I got into an ICU residency as a new grad with a 3 year contract, and an ADN. It really depends on how hard you are will...

First of all, things are never going to go as planned all of the time. Nursing is a world of improv :) call the manager. Persistence is key

I was agreeing with you

Sorry just saw you are PN :)

If you are still waiting you might want to contact the BRN. My RN license was posted on the BRN website with 48 hours, same with all of my classmates

So you cursed in front of a pediatric patient, and you refused to feed another, regardless of the situation you are supposed to be a patient advocate. I think you are going to have to show some type of change to overcome your "red flag". Just saying ...

I admire your way with words...unfortunately, there are always going to be racists, chauvinists, criminals, zealots, and people that just have different convictions than you. Part of nursing is respecting the patient and putting aside your own opinio...

Isn't the ATT good for 90 days? It seems like Pearson gives a pretty big window...you can take the test in a different state, too. It all depends on far you are willing to travel.

I was just hired into a new grad ICU position and I graduated in May with my ADN. I knew people, but because I networked and made sure everyone from the unit director to the techs knew who I was. I'm a 3.6 GPA student, but I have gone out of my way t...

I love Fast Facts by Kathy White

I just signed a 3 year contract, but I am a new grad in a Versant program. I have friends and family nurses who have signed contracts if there is a signing bonus or tuition reimbursement involved.

Absolutely! I have to say how "mature" is it to purposely create the drama the OP complains about? For many new grads the NCLEX results are their sole focus for weeks to months, so yeah being impatient for the results is understandable. If you do not...
