    Leaving level one trauma center for rural hospital. Advice?

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in General Nursing

    I am actually getting paid the same as I was at my old job at the big hospital. Where I live, rural hospitals tend to pay just as much or more as the "big hospitals" around here. Thank you for your...

    Quitting job, attempted to call to meet face to face, sent email. Is this acceptable?

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well, it appears, as usual, I have been unnecessarily anxious about all of this. My manager emailed me back a polite email informing me that she understood and supported my decision, and would talk to...

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The only reason I did not word it like that is because I didn't have another job lined up at the time I asked if I could go down to PRN status. Thank you for the advice and well

    bear94 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, a couple weeks ago the masters program I had applied to in the spring of 2016 contacted me and told me they had room for me to join their spring 2017 classes. I just graduated with my bachelors in...

    How to tell my boss I need to go from full time to PRN?

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in General Nursing

    I wondered that same thing, if they would even let me go down to PRN. However, I have a two year contract with the hospital... When someone like me who is contracted goes back to school they are...

    When to start studying for Nclex?

    bear94 replied to alohalife's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At most schools, 3rd semester is the hardest. I know during my third semester there was absolutely no room for any kind of studying other than studying for medsurg, pharm, and OB/Ped's tests. During...

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LuluaspiringRN, BSN I believe 52.7% is still above average! If I were you, I would go through and redo all the questions you missed on UWorld- pacing yourself so that you have the content absorbed...

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ApricotTea, I felt the exact same way. I did not feel any sort of dread after finishing my test. I had a little bout of the "what if's" when I got in my car, but that was the extent of my hard...

    NCLEX RN with 82 questions

    bear94 replied to gcare's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
