  5. Night Shift and Your Health - Advice Needed

    MrsICURN14 replied to Maymie's topic in Nursing Career

    I have the same problem. Am on days temporarily but they're moving me to nights again relatively soon. I think I'm going to have to be honest and say keep me on days or I'll find another job. My...

  7. I dread going to work :(

    MrsICURN14 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    How many of you felt that way as a new grad? I had the "I'm finally an RN!!" high for a while after graduation, passing NCLEX, and starting my new internship. It has very quickly faded into "efffffff...

  8. I dread going to work :(

    MrsICURN14 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have considered quitting and finding something else, but I am unsure if that's the smartest move. I know I won't be very marketable without a year of bedside

  9. I dread going to work :(

    MrsICURN14 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think mostly I dread it because I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, and I feel unsupported. Some of the nurses on my unit are wonderful, supporting, and great teachers. However as a whole I...

    MrsICURN14 posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    MrsICURN14 replied to mompod's topic in General Students

    I chose not to work during nursing school and had 3 interviews before graduation and was finally hired about 2 weeks after graduation. I'm a new nurse in an ICU at a level I trauma center. So, is...

  13. ICU Straight outta school?

    MrsICURN14 replied to WalterWho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're right, I don't. But you made the point it would be harder for an ICU nurse to float or move to the floor than the other way around or something along those lines, and that's not

  14. ICU Straight outta school?

    MrsICURN14 replied to WalterWho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I completely disagree. I'm struggling more as a new grad in an ICU versus all my friends on med surg or tele that aren't going home crying every shift like me and my friends in the ICU. No we don't...

  18. Unsure of wanting kids

    MrsICURN14 replied to j0yegan's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Exactly how I feel. What if I change my mind and then can't get pregnant and regret waiting so long! Oh well....life is too short for regrets. Have to just make choices and be okay with

  19. Unsure of wanting kids

    MrsICURN14 replied to j0yegan's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm so glad I found this thread. I've been having the same thoughts lately and I'll be 30 in October so I know that I need to decide sometime soon. In my late 20s I went back and forth a lot, but I...

  20. Hurst online review anyone???

    MrsICURN14 replied to NP2BJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Hurst online and definitely credit it to helping me pass NCLEX. I passed the first time with 75 questions. I used the review, in addition to practice questions from Saunders and NCLEX Mastery...

  22. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    MrsICURN14 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like complete crap!! It wasn't at all what I was expecting. I thought there was a good chance I failed. Mine cut off at 75, and I did the PVT about 3 hours later and got the good pop up and 2...

  23. Possibly Failed the 2nd time

    MrsICURN14 replied to jrjohnston5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do you feel that it's a problem with content or testing strategies? I did the Hurst online review and thought it was very helpful. Mostly helped me look at the questions differently, but it's a good...

  25. Being a SAHM after graduation

    MrsICURN14 replied to KatarinaCoffman's topic in Nursing Career

    I never said being a SAHM was a waste. Nor did I say education was a waste. My point was why would you go through all that work and not use it? Choose to have kids and quit school and go back later,...
