    Taking the NCLEX multiple times

    Pangea Reunited replied to cambrose's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wish I were young! What seemed odd to me was how few of my 75 questions related to anything I learned in school. It seemed like random street people made most of them

    Things I Am Grateful For (Vol. 1)

    Nursing admission with low gpa

    Pangea Reunited replied to msrbl08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call the programs or at least review their admission requirements (you can usually find them online). 2.7 does sound very low, but some programs admit on a first come, first served basis and some...

    Red flag?

    Pangea Reunited replied to ER_RN2010's topic in General Nursing

    It would look bad, but you could probably get away with it if your employment history is stable, otherwise. If they're babbling on so much about retention, maybe they're trying to change things? Try...

    Chances of admission for JTCC Spring 2016?

    Pangea Reunited replied to 2bNurseMom17's topic in School, College Programs

    Go straight to the source. Call the admissions department and ask them. They are your best source of information and can let you know where you need to improve to increase your chances. Good

    Advice for a Rusty Student and her New Job

    Pangea Reunited replied to maeli's topic in General Nursing

    Since you'll be working as a student nurse, I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunity to learn on the job. What's common on each medical floor may vary, but I'd say renal failure, CHF, COPD,...

    Hoarding resources

    Pangea Reunited replied to jay082's topic in General Nursing

    I experience that sometimes with the accucheck machine. One nurse has two accuchecks to do, but insists on carrying the thing around for two hours until they've managed to get them both done. Most of...

    Will i still be qualified in a new grad program?

    Pangea Reunited replied to chikashi's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going from LVN to BSN, you'd likely be considered a new grad. If you're going from RN to BSN, you definitely wouldn't be considered a new grad. Kindred has always scared me, a bit. They seem...

    New psych nurse

    Pangea Reunited replied to Daniallehp's topic in General Nursing

    I love psych and would love to eventually switch from med/surg to psych. I don't think psych is a good gateway to ER, though. I've even seen a few experienced psych nurses crash and burn when...

    Anxiety before work

    Pangea Reunited replied to shyrn88's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad, I felt physically ill just thinking about going to work. Now that I'm a few years into it, I still dread heading in to a point ....because I never know what will be waiting for me when...

    When should I start applying for jobs?

    Pangea Reunited replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    That depends on the market you're looking at. Some areas won't even look at you until you have a license in hand. In other places, the hospital representatives actually come to you, at school, before...

    LVN Endorsement in San Diego

    Pangea Reunited replied to cutiepatootie512's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch! As a new-grad LVN in San Diego, your options are going to be very limited even with a license. When I worked in Texas, I worked with a bunch of BSN RNs from California who were unable to find...

    Healthcare is really business care

    Pangea Reunited replied to Rnhenri's topic in General Nursing

    That's only what it's about to you. The problem is that people like you don't have enough money to build and run a hospital. You'd be broke before the site got chosen. I do think that schools should...

    Can I get an RN job in CA if I have a TX license?

    Pangea Reunited replied to BloggerNurse's topic in General Nursing

    You will need an active CA license to get a nursing job in CA. It may also be difficult to find something medical related that's not nursing ...especially if they expect you to pack up and leave when...

    Is this crossing boundaries?

    Pangea Reunited replied to SNurse15's topic in General Nursing

    You came into this individual's life at the 11th hour. Although you may have gotten along well with her, your goodbye visit is probably not as significant to her as you may think it is. There's even...

    Pangea Reunited replied to RachelMLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know much about it, to be honest. If the background check is still in progress, I would imagine that things could go either way. This might be a good section of the site to browse:...

    Need to vent

    Pangea Reunited replied to Erickap71's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why the supervisor or manager being present would affect you asking for help in a respectable way. I'd at least stick my head in the door and say, "Hey guys, I'm drowning out here. Is...

    Vent: treatment of new grads!

    Pangea Reunited replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you good luck. It could go either way. As a new grad, you're not in a position to "demand" good or priority treatment ...only to hope for it. I suggest you keep putting applications out all...
