    nurse_232 posted a topic in Critical Care

    Hello, I am looking for interview advice, as well as opinions on this choice. I am a new grad RN (ADN), the ink on my license is still drying I am finished with the majority of my BSN. My GPA is...

  2. New York Nurses Take Back Their Union

    nurse_232 replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I worked under 1199 for 2 years before becoming an RN. Based on my experience, as well as my coworkers, they are an absolute disgrace of a union. They make it impossible to claim most benefits, even...

  3. Average age of nurses on your unit

    nurse_232 replied to francoml's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've always heard of night shift staff being younger, and that seems to be the case where I work. Now I'm confused! Most of you see the older nurses on

  4. How did you become a Critical Care Nurse?

    nurse_232 replied to Ultraposh's topic in MICU, SICU

    I was unbelievably lucky. Graduated an ADN program and received my license just a month ago. I was one of the last ADN nurses at my hospital (worked a desk job there while in school) to be...

  5. 265 questions is not A BAD THING!!!

    nurse_232 replied to shell718's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    265 questions being a "bad thing" honestly depends on your expectations. The more questions you get past 75, the closer you are to the boarder. So 265 questions does mean that you were skirting right...

  6. Failed Nclex again

    nurse_232 replied to JD2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you made it to 265 both times, that means you're not failing miserably. You are right on the boarder. It's the best one could hope for, if they

  7. pop up says results on hold

    nurse_232 replied to readytobeanurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Once you've waited 48 hours and it's still on hold, it's time to call NCSBN / Pearson and light a fire under them. My palm vein scan also failed - they use (at my test center anyway) one of the...

  8. PVT says test on hold?

    nurse_232 replied to jasmin012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine were placed on hold due to palm vein scan too - it wouldn't read my hands. I asked the TA, after the exam, if this would cause a "hold" and she insisted it wouldn't. They use very cheap low...

  9. Ncsbn questions (3 week)

    nurse_232 replied to CandiceRN87's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't taken the NCLEX yet, but I have been doing NCSBN and I researched this quite a bit (probably to procrastinate studying). 60s - 70s on NCSBN questions is GOOD. Their questions are said to be...

  10. Help with RSV and SARS precautions

    nurse_232 replied to jorgecardenas55's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RSV is a real freaking pain in the butt!! ATI, in their NCLEX review book, says that RSV is contact, droplet, airborne. I give up. Yes, I know im reviving an oold

    nurse_232 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello Everyone, I'm posting to ask if anyone has suggestions as to what I can do and where I can file a complaint about my school. The graduating class was eligible over 2 months ago to have our...

  12. Over 2 months delay in college submitting students credentials to state

    nurse_232 replied to nurse_232's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for your help. The state is NY. Unfortunately, we cannot submit that portion of the form ourselves. It is required that it be sent from the college with the bursars stamp and sealed in a...
