    Where to buy Petite Scrubs

    NurseGirl525 replied to cafegoer's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I can usually buy my petite scrubs in store. I've never had an issue. I like Koi and

    Out of nursing over a year...this stay at home mom thing just isn't for me!

    NurseGirl525 replied to MaiBee's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you!! But everyone's situation is different. I was very isolated and alone as I did not grow up in that area and therefore did not have roots. I won't go into my story but I know many...

    NurseGirl525 replied to A&Ox6's topic in General Nursing

    I fell last year and damaged some bone and ligaments and was also told no NSAIDS. I don't tolerate them well anyways as they have eaten homes in my stomach but I was surprised to learn they actually...

    75 Q's Today... Feel Crushed.

    NurseGirl525 replied to misskris528's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt the exact same way 10 days ago. I passed. Nobody walks out of that test feeling

    Out of nursing over a year...this stay at home mom thing just isn't for me!

    NurseGirl525 replied to MaiBee's topic in General Nursing

    Being a SAHM is not for everyone. While it may seem like a luxury, it's not. You are actually working longer hours as a SAHM with no adult human interaction. Take it from someone who has done both....

    Today's Test

    NurseGirl525 replied to Tarra58's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lol. Nobody feels good coming out of that test. Please, please don't rely on the trick!! See what I'm saying? It doesn't make you feel one bit better, but you risked $200. Think about how many...

    Anyone else feeling down now that they graduated?

    NurseGirl525 replied to RnoRN's topic in General Students

    I didn't get any time off. I graduated May 12th, worked several days the next week, then started full time the 22nd. I'm looking to take a trip maybe in October. I guess to me, it's a huge sense...

    Nurse stealing narcs advice

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    What citations are you wanting? Any hospital institution I've ever been in, it's not been a med error unless it's out of that time frame. PRNs included. Maybe your institutions are different, but...

    Nurse stealing narcs advice

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe an investigation was done and it was determined she was not stealing. Why do you think she is at least committing a med error? You can give out meds 1hour before and 1 hour after. So if the...

    Help me feel better...

    NurseGirl525 replied to PediRN913's topic in General Nursing

    I guess on work days I don't see anybody before or after anyway. For an 11-11 shift I could sleep on a little and get up and go to work feeling good. When I have to get up early, I literally get...

    What to study if no Kaplan or Uworld

    NurseGirl525 replied to canijustbeanRNplz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also used Passpoint and did not trust the difficulty level. I had a 7.5 mastery level on there. I felt UWorld was worth the money. They have a lot of SATA on there to practice with. I will tell...

    Indiana NCLEX

    NurseGirl525 replied to Malbrecht0210's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are so many people testing right now. Plus, they are still processing certs as certain schools have just released their students. They are really busy. If you tested Thursday, your quick...

    Indiana NCLEX

    NurseGirl525 replied to Malbrecht0210's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine on Friday and my results did not post on the BON until Monday at 3pm. I paid for quick results which posted Sunday at 3pm. The Indiana BON does not post on

    Person Vue Trick-It was wrong for me. June 2016

    NurseGirl525 replied to Britt_RN2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was not even tempted to do the "trick". I was desperate to know as well last weekend but there was no way I was going to risk $200. Especially when it doesn't give you any relief because it...

    UWORLD 46%

    NurseGirl525 replied to cardiacgirl123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My average was 60% on Uworld and I passed in 75. But the questions on NCLEX were not even in the same ballpark as Uworld. It's very hard to explain. I guess they as well as the other study material...

    Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    I bought a cardiology III, and I don't regret it at all. Many classmates used my scope to hear. It can be hard to pick up certain sounds with a cheap one especially when you don't know what you are...

    Help me feel better...

    NurseGirl525 replied to PediRN913's topic in General Nursing

    Nights are so hard!! I don't know if I will ever adjust. But I'm not really a half be morning person either, so getting up at 5am kills me as well. My perfect shift would either be 9am-9pm or...

    EKG reading and leads

    NurseGirl525 replied to Red398's topic in General Nursing

    It's kind of crazy how that gets glossed over in nursing school, isn't it? I learned how to read strips and what they mean, but not the EKG test itself. I'm finding there are so many things I wish...

    Starting over age 40

    NurseGirl525 replied to Sarahbear's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated at 40 this past spring. I passed my boards and am now an RN. I had secured a job before graduating as did 90% of my cohort. It does depend on where you live in the country. Certain...

    Help I want to get into an ABSN program! Low GPA

    There are always exceptions to the rule. There are those few that get in to a program with a low GPA. None other of us on here can predict your chances. It depends on the program, their...

    Can traffic tickets prevent you from becoming a nurse?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it will. No nurse has ever gotten a traffic ticket ever. Ever. I hope you realize how silly that

    you said they were encouraging a rape culture. I don't believe that. I believe they are in severe denial about their
