  1. Hello all! Looking for a bit of career advice from those who have a few more years experience than I do. I'm currently working nights on a tele floor. My one year hire date is coming up. The schedule...
  2. Appropriate time to apply to other positions?

    I am not a single parent but my husbands schedule can be really hard. He is often called out of town on short notice, works days sometimes, nights others. It's easier to just not factor him into my...
  3. WILTW 2/19: The Seven Stages of Grievance (Part II)

    Hello again everyone. As I now seem to have an abundance of spare time I thought I'd pop in. It's been nearly a month (29 days but who's counting?) since management made it clear that I was not going...
  4. WILTW 1/22: Cozy Up To Gas Exchange

    Big squishy hugs right back at you pixie! I'm sorry that you're dealing with health issues but it's good that you're addressing it. Hopefully it will turn out all right. You'll be in my
  5. WILTW 1/22: Cozy Up To Gas Exchange

    It's been a while since I opened my laptop up. Even longer since I checked in here. And today I could really use a space to talk where I know people will understand what I'm feeling and dealing with....
  6. New Grad Nursling Struggles

    I don't have too many words of wisdom for you. But I did want to let you know that I share your feelings. I'm in a similar situation and having to evaluate whether I need to consider moving to a...
  7. 11/19: Handle the Harvest Moon with Care

    I have learned so much in the last few weeks that I don't even know where to start. So instead of the clinical side I'll focus on the emotions related to transitioning from student to new nurse....
  8. WILTW 10/22: ENT and the Priapism

    I'm a month into my new job and I feel like I'm drowning. Today I learned that no amount of squishing down feelings will stop me from crying at work. Also the tissues turn into powerdery snow that...
  9. WILTW 10/8: Flexed to Tenacity

    Hi everyone. I've been MIA partly due to the loss of the app. More to do with me working now. Is this the current thread? If not can someone link me to
  10. I searched again but I didn't see a new post so time for an update. I had multiple interviews over the last two weeks. I was called back to all 3 facilities. Two offered shadows, one wanted to skip...
  11. Is there a new thread going or should I just post here? Not that I've learned too much lately but I do have a brief

    oops. sent a blank post
  14. 7/30 This week, I learned Deanna Troi sucks

    I will go back and read the full thread in a little bit but for now here's my contributions. I have learned that: The allnurses app I was hiding on my phone stopped working weeks ago. This explains...
  15. ATI Live review/Predictor Score

    I honestly felt like it was just a 3 day "cram" session. The live review was tailored to our class results so the instructor went over the stuff we got wrong in the predictors. Which was really not...
  16. Dropping out of nursing school

    Ask someone in the early childhood program at your school if there are any students looking for work. Might be cheaper and more flexible. Sounds like your support system really stinks. If it is...
  17. ATI Live review/Predictor Score

    We did 2 RN Predictors during our last semester. I scored 99% probability of passing which excused me from taking the second one. We did the live 3 day review too. I graduated in May, took NCLEX...
  18. Good luck on the floor! I'm sure you'll do great! I got a call for an interview, tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited and nervous. It's a spot on tele, which will hopefully give me the right experience to...
  19. Night shift and clinicals

    Why don't you read your nursing programs student handbook? If it's school policy, it's in there. And that would tell you what the possible repercussions are. Is it possible to trade your Friday...
  20. Kaplan vs Hurst vs ATI vs UWorld

    I used ATI all through school, as required. Did Kaplan after graduation because the school paid for it. Honestly Kaplan was really good. It was way harder than NCLEX. Really upped my critical...
  21. This week I learned that the Somogyi effect is the body's response to undetected low BG. The body responds by releasing hormones which which elevates BG up over 200. I learned that I don't know...
  22. Kaplan or U world?

    Update: I finished NCLEX in one hour with 75 questions and passed! Kaplan was much harder than NCLEX. I feel like it really helped. I did all the trainers and read up on anything I wasn't familiar...
  23. What I learned this week: I'm officially an
  24. I took my NCLEX yesterday. One hour, 75 questions. I'm in the agonizing limbo of no results. My state doesn't do quick results but generally posts your status to the website within 24-48 hours. I've...
