    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow kudos! Icu is so intriguing but terrifying! I'm a new grad as well...I start on a PP floor Monday officially. If I thought it would be more interesting, I'd totally write a blog like

  5. Precepting in Postpartum - pros and cons?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    And OB rotation didn't teach me anything about L&D, PP, or nursery. We only spent a day or two in each area so of course it may seem like no one has IV access or drips. However, in my...

  6. Precepting in Postpartum - pros and cons?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    I think it would be a struggle because: 1. I never liked med surg 2. Patients are on MANY meds and it can be hard to keep track. 3. Isolation is annoying. I think you should lose the thinking that...

  7. NCLEX RN mastery vs NCLEX

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to katebate223's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't think the nclex was IDENTICAL to Kaplan or NCLEX Mastery. I did the kaplan book and the mastery app. I averaged 70% on both. I thought the mastery app was much harder and more in depth than...

  8. Precepting in Postpartum - pros and cons?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    I precepted in PP and now work in PP. I hung ivs and antibiotics, prepared meds, gave IM to mom and baby, saw cultures drawn and ivs started by PP nurses. I couldnt insert IV or draw because I was a...

  13. Do honors help gain a job

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Yep. I had an offer with the " top" institution in my city that is known across the country and I had an offer with a smaller Community Hospital in my area. I ended up choosing the Community Hospital...

  14. Do honors help gain a job

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Now this I can agree with! I hate to say it but it seems like these places value the education of the doctors more than the pay or autonomy of any of the nurses. When I was looking for a job, in OB,...

  16. Do honors help gain a job

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I'm confused as to what your point is then. Should we not try to do well in school? I externed at this hospital because through my honors senior thesis, they saw a demonstrated in the area of nursing...

  17. Do honors help gain a job

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Disagree!! My honors and grades got me an externship with the top hospital in my city and two job offers after graduation. Every situation is different honestly and if it gets your resume a second...

  18. CPM VS. BSN

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to FutureNurseKali's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think the safer, more respected route would be to continue on your path to become an RN and then get a master's to become a certified nurse midwife. CPM's scope of practice is much more limited and...

  19. CNA first then RN?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    Woah chill!! Nursing school was rough (I know, I'm a recent BSN grad) but it didn't require much of what you were saying. I never spent 4 hours a night on homework and hardly ever had three exams a...

  20. New nurse stuck on verge of homelessness

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to Sanhect1's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you considered LTC or home health? I know it may not be what you want but their money is as green as anywhere else. Also, apply for government assistance! We pay for it for people to get on their...

  21. I'm experiencing a "quarter-life" crisis...

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to dvah1987's topic in General Students

    You say that but hospitals do take in to consideration the reputation of the school you attend, like it or not. No one is even really saying that outright to the OP. She just needs to be mindful about...

  22. Nursing Shortage: Yea or Nay?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

  24. Disappointing final clinical rotation

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to WalnutCookies's topic in General Students

    I know this is a bummer! But realize that this is just another clinical...4 weeks as a student won't compare to your first year of nursing. You won't be behind! The 12 weeks of orientation you get at...

  25. I just want to cry 😢

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to LM NY's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No one knows if you passed. NO one knows if you got this question wrong. Just relax until Tuesday! Older nurses had to wait MONTHS! Us newbies can wait 2-3
