  1. Fake Nurse?

    Just a comment on the "nurse intern" position...While I was in nursing school and working as a CNA at a local big corp. hospital, I was actually classified as a "Nurse Extern" and essentially would have just rolled up into a nursing job after graduat...
  2. Getting mortgage as contigent staff?

    Commenting as a previous mortgage underwriter for 15 years: They will likely be viewing your application and underwriting your mortgage as they would for people that are self-employed. They will be requesting documentation (tax returns) for the last ...
  3. I'm a new grad, recently licensed, and in midst of completing the paperwork and on-boarding process for a VHA RN position. It will likely be at least a month *she says with naive optimism* before I will start working. My question: Can I start taking ...
  4. New Grad- Can I start taking CE courses now?

    Thanks for the info. This is me trying to not procrastinate and do the same thing
  5. New Grad- Can I start taking CE courses now?

    From what I gather, it just needs to be completed within the preceding two years (TX). I was just unsure if there where reasons that I should wait (other then gaining experience).
  6. Taking Nclex July 15

    I'm in Texas. I never got the message saying they were unable the schedule a new exam (the "good" pop up). Instead it would have charged my card had the availability been there...
  7. Taking Nclex July 15

    I know it's going to be hard, but just do whatever you can to keep yourself busy until you can get quick results. We are all pulling for you!!!
  8. Taking Nclex July 15

    So OP... How'd it go? Thought about you today and wanted to check in...
  9. Taking Nclex July 15

    Thank you! My husband made me laugh the day I found out...said I've probably NEVER been so happy to be proven wrong:lol2:
  10. Taking Nclex July 15

    The only thing you can do is study and try to breathe if you feel yourself panicking. I just got my results today, and let me tell you, I walked out KNOWING I'd failed. 263 questions (literally all of my friends were under 100 and most at 75) and I D...
  11. can not find course that offers NCLEX-PN review

    Hurst does a review for PN...hurstreview.com
  12. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    I tend to believe that her "advice" was not meant to be sexist, simply to clue you in as to how the women on that floor may react... Possibly to save you further grief... Now if she went and posted something like this⬇️... You might have a case.....
  13. Valedictorian caught cheating

    I would think that if the administration is aware of just how angry a majority of the class is AND that the class is even aware of the situation, they would rather "cya" to protect their own reputation. They should be concerned about this going highe...
  14. Makeup under mask

    I always had a problem with my makeup "sliding off" until going into Sephora and finding Lancomes Teint Idole Ultra 24hour foundation. This stuff is amazing! Goes on great and stays on all day. I pair it with a primer from Bare Minerals and have been...
  15. Overpayment

    I would email your HR dept so that you have a record of your attempt at due diligence to rectify the situation. Make sure that you detail everything that has occurred including your actual hours worked vs what you were mistakenly paid for. Keep the m...
  16. Bedside reporting as a management tool of humiliation

    Speaking as a nursing student who has observed a "common sense" bedside handoff, they can be beneficial. By that I mean the nurse-to-nurse communication took place outside of the room, then they enter together, do introductions and relay updated/pert...
  17. My coworker is stealing

    If you are concerned about eventual budget/staff cuts, think about it this way... Who do you think will be the first one to be considered? The ones that work efficiently or the ones that don't and always need OT to accomplish their duties? Relax... ...
  18. The "politics" of tattling.

    OP other post... "Do you remember this lesson from nursing school"
  19. The "politics" of tattling.

    Can you get your story straight? This post your saying you "left a gaping hole" where the vitals should have been documented, yet in another post admit to falsely documenting said vitals. Either way Integrity & Ethics should be something to seek ...
  20. What to do about a hyperverbal classmate?

    I have someone just like this in clinical. I've found humor is a good way to not only stop the interruption, but also subtly draw their attention to their actions...without sounding like I'm being rude. When she cut me off, I looked at her pointedly ...
  21. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    OP... 1st year student here too. I look at it this way, would you rather have this "map" as a way to organize your thoughts and information or be all over the place when calling a doc? It's the SBA that's important right now... We'll eventually figur...
  22. Most Stressful Day

    No...Just...No...?
  23. For all of the Nurse Managers out there (or those who have experience hiring/interviewing)... How would you react or perceive a question from a new grad regarding staffing ratios for the particular position they are applying for? To put this in cont...
  24. Is it appropriate to ask this in an interview?

    No offense taken at all...the advice would still stand
  25. Is it appropriate to ask this in an interview?

    As this will be my first step into the healthcare profession, all of this helps tremendously. I appreciate all of your help and guidance!
