Hi all, my my wife and I are originally from south Florida. I am a ER/medsurg RN. My wife will be finishing school in 4 months as a RN. Her family is from NYC. Recently a nurse told me that some rn's go to nyc for a couple years due to very high sal...

Hi all, New ER hire beginning in March, 6 months of medsurg experience. Any suggestions on books I can study prior to help my transition? Thank you

OK so I am in my residency training class yesterday and we are talking to an ortho surgeon and a colorectal surgeon. A new grad nurse, like myself, asks why there are so many PA's and only one NP working in the hospital. They state it was a mandate...

Having not been there seeing your patients and going off just what you wrote, definitely Rapid on first patient with BP so low, especially after finding empty pain bottles from home. On MI patient, I probably would have called a Rapid to immediately...

I guess it depends on what your hospital does, I see mostly Cholorectal and ortho, but most of the patients come with accompanying commorbidities like pressure ulcers, diabetic wounds, HTN, COPD, CHF etc. My hospital doesnt do any OB or peds. We al...

Ok, so im about to pull the hair outa my head. I'm in my first job as a nurse, absolutely love it. I new nursing would be fun but wow, the things i get to do is just amazing. Ok so now i need to get my BSN, hospital gives me 5 years and they do tui...

One more thing. Don't worry about what the job description says, years experience etc...just apply for the jobs. You may still get interviews. Sometimes hospitals change their hiring policies without updating the job posting. And don't I really mean ...

Hello all, Newish nurse here, less than a year experience, was wondering what some nurses do for extra income. I have been doing OT, and waiting to hit my year mark for per diem. I tried Home health but the time in was not worth the money out. Tha...

Well I'll tell you my story, so i graduated in April 2015 took boards June 2, i do have a CNA license, so while studying for boards i applied at a few hospitals got about 3 call backs and all told me to reapply as an RN once i pass, they sounded like...

Hi all, New grad here, started my first job 2 months ago on a Med/Surg floor, absolutely love it. Love the job, love my bosses, love my coworkers, great residency program, great pay, etc... I have been looking into different certifications like che...

Grad school...I doubt it. I'm definitely getting my bsn but after that being that I'll be 39 that will be it for me. Yes I know 39 is still young, but I've spent most of my life in and out of college in and out of jobs and I finally found my passion....

Seen a lot of posts on this topic, very confusing. I just passed my exit exam and I am preparing for the NCLEX in Florida. I have the following books provided from my school 1. KAPLAN-The Basics 2. Saunders 5th edition- and the CD 3. Saunders 6th e...

Hello, I am a 36 year old nursing student with 6 months to go till NCLEX> When I started this journey I had my heart set on CRNA, I was able to shadow one for a few days in a hospital and loved it. Since I started the journey to become a nurse I...

Get up, kick the dog, shot of cafe, off to work for 8 hours where u feel like slamming your (insert personal preference) with a door would be more fun than sitting in another 29 hour meeting so my boss can tell us how being more like them would make ...

I agree with Jordan, NEVER RETREAT

32 started, 10 are left, 75% overall to pass the class, my pharmacology class was only 6 weeks long. So um yea I am not in your run of the mill nursing program to say the least, I THINK>

Being a student myself I have never once doubted my choice, then again I have a past that I am not to proud of so just the fact I am now 6 months away from my Boards is awesome for me. In regards to work, don't get tunnel vision that the only jobs a...

Hehe um yea well lemme share u something. My first day as a cna 7 pre-operative patients alert nervous and bowels working like a finely tuned Italian bikini model very abruptly turned into well um does the running of the bulls ring a bell. It was ba...
