  1. I just wonder if nurses get paid more by becoming preceptors? I would feel bad if my preceptor is a victim whom is randomly selected without compensation .....I just would like someone who is willing to do it. It does not matter whether they are moti...
  2. Yes, I would like to...but.. with minimum starting pay, I can't even live on it. If they gave us a few dollars more, I don't mind giving some of the portion to my preceptors. They will feel that they are obligated to teach as more like the clinical i...
  3. AAARRRGGGHHHH! My paycheck was wrong!

    I was also a former CNA. That's the mistake that I thought it might have happened to me. But it didn't. BTW, HR previously warned me that I may get CNA pay for about a week or so before RN pay because they can't financially change the payrate based o...
  4. I just started my ICU internship... The intership is 6 months, including rotation to all critical care units and ER. It is two year contract. I really think that the rotations to other critical care units unnecessarily lengthen the time of the inters...
  5. I just took NCLEX today and I went all the way to 265.... I did not mentally prepare for so many question like this... The last question was easy and not even a priority question..I am not even sure I get it right ... I heard it is possibly the last ...
  6. Did You Get A Sign On Bonus?

    I totally agree! I know a place that offer 10,000 sign-on bonus... but I know that I am not going there... I was there as a tech and I know how crazy it is.
  7. Am I gonna lose my first nursing job?

    Few of my previous classmate started with insurance company.... I think things might be better when you begin to familiar with the jobs for 6 months.
  8. New nurse blues

    Your orientation is so long... What unit you are in? Why do they require that length of orientation?
  9. Did I fail

    Congratulation!!
  10. Eternal Pessimist!!!!!

    I used NCSBN for the review questions only. I didn't study their content.. Their questions are very hard and mentally prepare you for NCLEX!! I think Kaplan is the best (coz I didn't time to try Mosby or Lippicott) and their questions are worded just...
  11. Eternal Pessimist!!!!!

    That's funny about pearsonvue... Their system was on maintenaine this morning. I thought it was because they messed up about posting the results... but I checked it again... and I still passed.. I just gave my mom 1,000 dollars coz I bet on that... ...
  12. Thank you very much! I don't know whether you took NCLEX already but Good luck. Just FYI... don't be nervous if you don't get cut off as soon as you want. My weak point was that I went to take the test with the mindset that I will get cut of at 75-1...
  13. 265 --- and I PASSED!

    I passed with 265!! I can't believe my eyes.... I was crying and laughing about 4 min before I can calm down...
  14. I passed with 265! I can't stop crying and laughing at the same time at this point.........
  15. I just called Georgia State Board of Nursing this morning. NCLEX of LPN is 45 days but for waiting period for retaking NCLEX for RN is still 90 days...
  16. Hey.Denham0607. I appreciate your information... Just for clarification.. Wating period = waiting time to retake NCLEX again... Atlanta is the city, not my username...right? What you mean that waiting time to retake NCLEX in Atlanta, Georgia is now 4...
  17. If I were you, I would be glad to work as a tech to "KEEP" my prospective job. I may request my manager to do it PRN so that I can have more time off to prepare for NCLEX. I guess once you are an employee (a tech or intern), it will be easier for hum...
  18. Thank you for your reply. You are in better game than me 192.... I hope you passed.. you will... one of my friend got 150 and passed... My last question is NOT a priority question and VERY easy.. I don't feel very good about it... Deep breath!! Tommo...
  19. What is the best study tool for NCLEX?

    It came with the Kaplan course and Kaplan content review book... I'm sorry that I don't know where to order it.. may be from the website http://www.kaplannursing.com I can't 100% guarantee that Kaplan is the best....especially you only have two weeks...
  20. What is the best study tool for NCLEX?

    I just took the test and anxiously wait for the result... Use Kaplan for priority and delegation questions. Many questions are worded just like Kaplan but you also need easy questions and details from Saundra... Know how to think in your mind which p...
  21. I'm glad that you can take it again soon and begin your orientation.. In Georgia, it take longer even if I want to take it somewhere else. The paperwork will take times.... so, I don't know what to tell the nurse manager if I can't start until the n...
  22. You are right about fluoxetine... My mom took antipsychotics and I saw her sleep a lot during daytime... that's why I had that thought... I took Benadryl instead... I think my mother gave me wrong meds... I still can't sleep. I think she gave me Ser...
  23. Retaking NCLEX in another state

    I live in Georgia, too. How long did you wait after the 1st time that you started your paperwork on SC. And then how long does it take to transfer the license back to Georgia.... If you can do that in a week, then I would take the next time in SC. An...
  24. anyway, I have another questions... can I reapply for some other states that have 45 days waiting time while I took the first time in Georgia?
  25. Dear Sunzanne4, I am prepared as much as I thought it was enough. I did almost 4,000. Kaplan (2,500), Suandras (300), and NCBSN ( about 500). I think my problem is I did not prepare BOARDLY about all diseases and I did not mentally prepare for those ...
