    wolfgangRN replied to wolfgangRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Does one have an advantage coming from a “top” hospital?

    wolfgangRN replied to wolfgangRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I’ve seen that happen in my current hospital. I learned a lot, my co-workers are great, but the travelers I’ve met tell us our benefits as full time are crap. I have a chance to transfer to a...

  11. Does one have an advantage coming from a “top” hospital?

    wolfgangRN replied to wolfgangRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, by balance I just meant not going home too tired to do anything else. I got lucky that both had openings in the department I want...the lesser known has better benefits and unionized which is why...

    wolfgangRN replied to Sophie212's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! First of all, I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s not right for the hospital to transfer you to another unit or schedule when that was not discussed during your interview/not in your...

    Are you required to have been in the department x amount of years even after you’ve completed the minimum number of successful ultrasound sticks before you start PICC training? I guess what I’m...

  16. NCLEX-CA: BSN from PH still hopeful looking for other pinoy aspirants

    wolfgangRN replied to abbyrenalRN's topic in Nurse Registration

    I hear you but I think those cases are generally ok provided they are completed on schedule. They actually gives Phil grads an edge...but California, being the most litigious state is the US, has...

    wolfgangRN replied to abbyrenalRN's topic in Nurse Registration

  18. NCLEX-CA: BSN from PH still hopeful looking for other pinoy aspirants

    wolfgangRN replied to abbyrenalRN's topic in Nurse Registration

    Correct me if I'm wrong but in the US, students are not required to do 5-5-5/3-3-3 cases correct? They're not allowed to be as hands-on. And those cases we're required to have are actually beyond...

    wolfgangRN replied to AbisolaRN2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    True dat :) It really depends on your study style. I tried doing all questions first without bothering to read, didn't work for me. Also if you did self-study before, maybe you could try attending...

    I used Saunders (the yellow one, 5th edition I think) and PDA 3rd edition online. For the practice tests, I used the Lippincott's app (it's free), and the accompanying CD of the Saunders book. For...

    wolfgangRN replied to blair111's topic in Philippines
