  1. only 4 days left.. plz help

    Peppermint_RN replied to raj89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I honestly did not study meds before my NCLEX, other than a quick look-over the pages Hurst offered on their site. I had the most random meds on my NCLEX that I have never even heard of before, so I...

  2. How to study for SATA questions?

    Peppermint_RN replied to swansonplace's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I averaged 70-74% on four of their tests. My friends were averaging 55-70% on theirs, and all three of us passed. I went to the Live Review (which was 3 days) then came home and did the 4th day...

  3. NCLEX-RN JULY 1

    Peppermint_RN replied to GWapa-RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was the same way for mine! I did the Hurst review, read their book twice and did a few practice questions. The night before, my friends & I went out for dinner & a couple drinks. Walking...

  5. When do you become CPR certified?

    Peppermint_RN replied to gentlerain's topic in General Nursing

    We were required to have our CPR certification before our first day of class 1st semester of nursing school. I think it is a requirement for clinical rotations. I had to pay out of pocket for mine,...

  6. How to study for SATA questions?

    Peppermint_RN replied to swansonplace's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The best advice I can give is to just know your core content. The questions can vary so much, it would be impossible to know every thing they might ask as a SATA. In my NCLEX, I had probably less than...

  7. And what other questions do you have?

    Peppermint_RN replied to advsmuch08's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    After the basic questions (nurse to patient ratio? Orientation process? Hours? Blah blah blah), I always ask "What are the traits of some of your most successful nurses on your unit?" And "What do you...

  8. Clinical and nursing shoes

    Peppermint_RN replied to msnursecp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our school picked the clinical site and the days/times. We did not have much say in the matter (quite a few students were driving over an hour each way to their clinical site! School just told them...

  9. Tips and Tricks on How to Get a Job as a New Graduate RN!

    Peppermint_RN replied to ashleyrosesf's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks BigDreamer! Saint Thomas was the job fair I went to the other day. My friend got accepted into the residency program with them! She's so excited. :) Thanks for the tips. I'm definitely hoping I...

  11. Interview Coming Up - Some Help Needed!

    Peppermint_RN replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've been to a couple hospital interviews (before I graduated, mostly for tech jobs), but the questions they ask seem pretty similar to other places. I've had pretty much the same questions that were...

  12. Vitals during the night shift

    Peppermint_RN replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    RNmo that is the greatest idea! I never thought of that! I just got my license & will probably end up working night shift, so I'm definitely going to throw my clippy light in my nursing

  13. New grad offered job at Pain Clinic

    Peppermint_RN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well unfortunately I did not end up getting the position. They didn't even call to let me know...a girl from my nursing class called tonight & told me she got it. I'm very happy for her though! I...

  14. New grad offered job at Pain Clinic

    Peppermint_RN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks! I was just worried since all through school you hear "you got to start on med-surg!" But I guess experience is experience, and I definitely need a job

  15. Newly licensed RN seeking Resume Advice

    Peppermint_RN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated this past May and passed my NCLEX on June 14. I've done multiple different resumes but they never seem to look or sound quite right. Any advice on what to add, take out, reword, or...

    Peppermint_RN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you!! Definitely going to work on mine! I'll have to check into the career service department at my school; not sure if we have one. We did have to do a resume & sample cover letter for our...

  17. Newly licensed RN seeking Resume Advice

    Peppermint_RN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks sbfairy! My first resume actually included some of that, but I wasn't sure if it was good. I reworked it a little and have added it back in! Also, thank you for the idea on the cover letter! :)...
