Knights Nurse

I'm in Atlanta. I'll check and see what sections I'm in, I don't know off of the top of my head. Do you think all of our books are actually required?

I'm going to be starting the Pediatric Dual Primary/Acute Care Program this fall also! I've been trying to search for others starting this fall, and you are the first I've seen! Have you registered already?

I work in an 84 bed Level IV NICU and our CNA's are involved in a lot. They help stock, set up for admissions, cleaned incubators, and helped out with the front desk area. They also did help with feeding some of our feeder growers who were close to d...

I currently work in Tampa and the base pay is $23-25. I have a few friends who work in Orlando and their base pay is $21-24/hr.

Hey everyone! I'm really interested in IVF and fertility and was wondering if anyone out there is in this field as a nurse practitioner. I'm currently a NICU nurse and looking to back to school soon. Thanks for any input!

My BSN program started with 40, we graduated with 26 and have had a 100% NCLEX pass rate for the past 8 years.

I start my new position in the NICU next week! How is everything going so far?

I think if you can actually feel a pulse you wouldn't start compressions. If they're unconscious and bradycardic I think you would give atropine.

Hey everyone! I need some advice from you guys out there. Im a new nurse with 4 months of Burn ICU experience. I'm currently in a situation where I have a job offer in a Surgical/Trauma ICU or a Neonatal ICU. I'm interested in both. I know ultimatel...

Thanks for all of the replies! I'm in a new graduate program that rotates to all of the ICUs in the hospital and burn just happens to be my first rotation. Burn is just not for me. I'm not a huge fan of the humongous dressing changes that accompany t...

So I recently graduated, passed my NCLEX (yay!), and started my first job as a nurse. I've run into a few people (non-healthcare) who have asked me in these exact words 'So are you going on to become a doctor or are you just nursing it?'. Or I get as...

Our clinicals were at Parrish Medical center, Health first hospitals, and rehab centers in the area. I also had a clinical at wuesthoff

Yes It was definitely helpful for me. They had great rationales and mnemonics to help you remember things.

I passed my nclex on 9/3 and I couldn't be happier or more relieved! I would like to thank all of the posters on allnurses because I've been reading their NCLEX discussion posts and using their tips and tricks for remembering things or for different ...

ANHH, I just graduated from the Cocoa program and I had a 78% teas, 3.5 gpa, and a 3.3 pre req, so please don't lose hope!

Congrats everyone! I'm in the cocoa program and can't wait to meet all of you!

Congrats guys! I'm in the cocoa program now and I remember when I was in your shoes last year. Good luck!

There were people in our class who got in with a GPA lower than a 3.5. The interview helps a lot with them trying to see the whole person instead of just grades on paper.

Don't over think the questions they ask you. They're really friendly and in my interview they weren't intimidating at all. I think the only time you may need to review material is 2nd semester when you take patho because it relies heavily on A&P....

The interviews weren't stressful at all. They made everything really relaxed and it was more of a conversation between the applicants.

I think you definitely have a chance if you can get at least the minimum TEAS score. I was in the same boat as you in regards to the TEAS score and I got in. They try to look at the whole picture with grades, TEAS, and interview so don't count yourse...

The program isn't easy at all, but if you put in effort it's definitely doable. If you get in, my advice for first semester is to get organized asap. First semester isn't too difficult with material, they're just going to throw a lot at you at once s...

Hey guys! I'm currently in the Cocoa program, so if you have any questions I'm happy to answer them. :)
