   marypoppins08 replied to journey2success's topic in NICU

   Congrats! I am also a new grad in the NICU and I have three weeks left in orientation and then I am on my own! It's definitely overwhelming and there's a lot to learn, but no one expects you to come off orientation as an expert in everything. Like ot...

2. Take NCLEX in 10 days and did Hurst Review...will I pass?

   marypoppins08 replied to whyohwhy's topic in NCLEX

   I took the Hurst review and found it very helpful. I used that and the Saunders NCLEX book to study, sounds like similar to what you're doing. The scores and all that can't really predict how you'll do on nclex, it's truly just how prepared you feel ...

3. New grad, new NICU job!

   marypoppins08 replied to marypoppins08's topic in NICU

   I bought mine on Amazon, and got the newest edition. I noticed you can buy a kindle version for a little cheaper if you have a kindle! Yeah heavy chunk to pay, but I am enjoying reading it while I wait for orientation to start! I think Amazon also al...

   It's been my goal and dream for a long time! So in nursing school, I did my capstone project about NICU babies, and did four total clinicals in a NICU. I currently work with infants, and have worked with kids for a long time. I somehow found a new gr...

   marypoppins08 replied to Bee511's topic in Arizona

   So much to catch up on! As for work, I'd also love extern work while I'm in school. My HHA job is flexible, but I don't do weekends or evenings with them so I don't think it'd work out, but I'll talk to them and see. Obviously, it's the better job f...

    Also, I am currently debating work. I currently have 2 jobs, one is retail and one is home health aide. I know for sure I'm going to quit one, but not sure WHICH one yet, or BOTH. My family would prefer if I didn't work at all, but that's nearly impo...
