  1. Starting my very first hospital job

    OneHappyRN replied to feofeo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just started a job on a telemetry unit and I can relate to your excitement and anxiety. I have to keep telling myself that I can only do what I can do TODAY. They understand that we are new nurses...

  2. Graduating in 3 months, should I find work as a CNA

    OneHappyRN replied to DorothyR's topic in General Students

    Something to think about is how long you have to stay in your current position before transferring to an RN position. Some hospitals say you have to be there 6 mos, some 1 year... There are pros and...

  3. Has anyone found a nursing job by reconnecting with old manager of unit you precepted

    OneHappyRN replied to sakuragirl24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yep - that's how I got hired, too. I also emailed a professor who I knew was a nurse manager and asked if she was hiring. She wasn't but told me of floors in her hospital that were and said she'd pass...

  4. First day on the job...

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

    I guess I'm fortunate then. I'm 49 and am not doing this to put food on my table. I went to nursing school at the age of 45 because I want to care for people, not just make a living. The paycheck is...

  5. First day on the job...

    OneHappyRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a question for anyone with experience or in a leadership position. I was offered a position on nights and of course I accepted b/c I'm thankful for a job, interested in this floor and am...

  6. First day on the job...

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

    There are people who prefer nights. With night positions paying for student loans, night differential and...sleeping patients, it's not a given that people will want to switch to days even if offered...

  7. First day on the job...

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

    That's what I was thinking, amoLucia - I probably should have waited. Like I said...she didn't seem bothered, but after thinking about it, I wished I had waited. Sharpiemom - that's what my hrs are 7p...

  8. North Shore LIJ - October 2014 ED Fellowship

    OneHappyRN replied to BZou's topic in New York Nursing

    Unfortunately, LIJ gets so many applications. A rejection letter is just not

    OneHappyRN replied to Bell13's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. kaplan questions

    OneHappyRN replied to fusionfire32's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Fusionfire, I did incorrect and new only and scored in the high 50s/low 60s. Then when I would add the correct questions I had gotten, I was getting in the 70s. Someone gave me very good advice and...

  11. What to study if you have failed the NCLEX

    OneHappyRN replied to Nursegrad123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can only speak from experience and I know that I did well with Kaplan. I knew a lot of people who were successful using it, so I used it and it worked for me. A lot of people don't want to pay the...

  12. nclex help

    OneHappyRN replied to sedalia21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    DON'T give up!! You went through the stress and trials of nursing school and passed that, so you can pass the NCLEX, too. I say dedicate some time to really studying. You may need help with content...

  13. kaplan questions

    OneHappyRN replied to fusionfire32's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's difficult to say what your chances of passing are, but I can say that I did Kaplan and that is pretty much what my scores were and I passed in 75Qs. I've heard some people say the NCLEX is...

  14. Help! Not understanding A&P

    OneHappyRN replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school isn't for the faint of heart, but look at all the nurses out there...it CAN be done! :) It just takes a lot of time. I felt the SAME way when I sat in AP 1. It seemed like everyone...

  15. Kaplan Videos

    OneHappyRN replied to ANelson732's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had access to the videos, but it didn't come with a book. It came with Kaplan On Demand (all online videos and

  16. CNA first or Classes?

    OneHappyRN replied to Rose1222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree w/ the majority. Take some pre-req's now and get them out of the way. Especially the more difficult science ones. I'm an older student, married w/ kids and went back to school. I did it part...

  17. just tested...

    OneHappyRN replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know it can mean nothing, but it seemed like I had SATA every other Q, too. It shut off at 75 Qs and I passed. You said on another thread that your readiness was 66?? That's very good!! I have a...

  18. Missed the call!!

    OneHappyRN replied to OneHappyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you!!

  19. Missed the call!!

    OneHappyRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I just can't believe it. I passed the NCLEX in June and have been applying ever since. I haven't even gotten a single call. Until this past Monday morning, that is. We had to take a last minute trip...

  20. Missed the call!!

    OneHappyRN replied to OneHappyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Since I did update my resume w/ my cell phone number, I had it on me the whole week and checked it neurotically. lol Same with email, that was always on my resume. I just totally overlooked the part...

  21. Why so many SATA questions?

    OneHappyRN replied to jessandjonah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The minimum number of questions is actually 75. All question types are random, I don't know if there's a way to find out why certain questions are given. Truth is...that probably doesn't matter at...

  22. How Soon Should I Begin Studying for NCLEX

    OneHappyRN replied to hotmessmanda's topic in General Students

    I agree with the ThePrincessBride, I wouldn't worry about the NCLEX just yet. What you should realize is that studying for your tests throughout nursing school and learning the content (rather than...

  23. I'm going to fail the NCLEX

    OneHappyRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I never did that great w/ ATI. I averaged in the high 60s to 70s. I didn't do well on Community, either. I didn't stress over them. I just considered what my Predictor scores were. I got a 73% which...

  24. No Good-pop up...Which Review should I try next?

    OneHappyRN replied to murseymurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hang in there murseymurse, and just try to wait and see for sure. If you did, in fact, not pass this time around, I would call Kaplan. They have some sort of guarantee if you do not pass. How long...

  25. Kaplan Alternate Format Quiz- 25%!

    OneHappyRN replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't freak out... lol I took that one and got in the high 20s - and I still passed the NCLEX. That alternate test question thing is ridiculous and
