  1. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Couldn't agree more. Even as an outsider looking in...sure looks like it was a union busting strategy from the start! However, they seem to have underestimated the resolve of nurses and the...

  2. Overwhelmed about nursing school

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to CMSNYC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Answers: Yes, Yes and Mabye. [Additional info: To first question: but only part time after actual nursing school starts. To second question: some pre-reqs can be taken as online courses- you should...

  3. Paired with horrible nurse today

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    My goodness...I sure hope that this provides justification for the tough nursing clinical instructors that students sometimes have- that's its to counter the bad nurses that so many students will...

  4. ATI Study Materials?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to lucky13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    [P.S. and it was Suzanne, the Moderator here, who has been encouraging the use of Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX review all along...she certainly has ME sold

  5. Any tricks to remember FOOD for nutrients, electrolytes, and vitamins?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to kemerick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kemerick- if you PM me with your email address (don't post it here for security sake), I will be glad to send to you two 'cheat' sheets that I created and used for a study group that I headed- one...

  6. ATI Study Materials?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to lucky13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed NCLEX on first try, but I really attribute it to the sheer number of practice questions that I did (about 3000) PLUS perhaps a good amount of plain old luck & of course, the grace of God...

  8. ...I'm about to cry

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Mary- wow...lots of frustrations!! Perhaps best to take into your own hands the babysitting search and accept the fact that your father, even with the 'health of a 50 year old', is not going to...

  9. Graduated 2001, failed NCLEX.......too late to be RN ?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to originals's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I mean this with kindness in my heart and best of wishes for your future success: but have you considered therapy or treatment for your depression ? I'm sure you can pick yourself up and go forward,...

  10. Anyone pushing 50 and a recent grad??

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to TCooper's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just got my RN at the ripe old age of 49. Had 4 prior careers. The advantages: automatic assumption that I must know so much more. Disadvantage: the automatic assumption that I must know so much...

  11. Falsely Accussed, Manager a Witch

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    I'd tell you just to tell her to 'bite me', but you mentioned that its a one hospital town. I think your story says succinctly why turnover is an issue there. You really HAVE to find other nursing...

  12. ...I'm about to cry

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mary,the problem with getting so overloaded is that it seems like the only recourse is to quit it ALL and run...but that is NOT your only recourse. You really should look into lightening your school...

  13. Nclex Exam

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Jjohn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Eric- I just want to say God Bless you for keeping up that mantra! Newbies don't know where to go when they first come on here, and nervous NCLEX test takers (like I was!) can't hear that enough. I...

  14. I just can't catch on

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Brooke13-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All of these are good posts, really helpful- but especially Tim's 'thesis' on new nursing survival strategies- I agree- would make a very nice 'sticky' (any moderator

  15. Paired with horrible nurse today

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    I hate that made-up stuff too. I once worked in clinicals in Crit Care and everytime I went to enter vital information on the hour, it was already charted. How could that be? The nurse was never in...

  16. Just took the Boards

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Crenee3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It can take 4 weeks in CA, no matter what you hear from others (some people just get lucky and get their results alot sooner)- and it doesn't mean pass or fail- it seems to be unrelated. I personally...

  17. Need NCLEX Advice

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ebkayaker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry that I don't know of a book with questions like that. I just wanted to say that I wish you the best for your next try & sorry to hear that you didn't quite make it the first time. You...

  18. pre-reqs need help

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to luv4all's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi- with regard to pre-reqs, it depends on what you need to take and the availability, in order to tell you how long it will take. For example: our school required: Physics, Chem, Biochem, Anatomy...

  19. Z-Coil Shoes

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RN112's topic in General Nursing

    Roy- I never saw the enclosed z coils. Are they on the z-coil website online? Somehow I didn't see them there. I'm concerned about getting snagged on something and

  20. Help!!

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to cas4978's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know how to tell you not to stress...because I confess to stressing BIG TIME while waiting for my own results. But I will say this: one of the smartest students in my class went all the way...

  21. Im feeling the tension again for the nclex.

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to luv2shop19mall's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just curious...you said you did Saunders- have you tried to use Suzanne's method (EXACTLY as she recommends)? Even if you 'did' Saunders, you may want to find out about her method from her. After so...

  23. California NCLEX Exam Results

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to dinkysam's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
