    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to MarkAD's topic in Men in Nursing

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to jead1's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. Which sounds like the better route to go for a new HS grad?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    Why not just go for a standard BSN if you qualify for the financial aid? Chicago's hospitals are very BSN oriented and you just graduated HS. if you have no kids, no real obligations (monetary) then...

    xxdiscoxxheaven posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! I applied to a float pool position designed for new grads at a level 1 trauma center in my areas. Any thought on floating as a new grad? I thought it was odd to not have a home unit when you...

  16. Float pool as a new grad? Any thoughts?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to xxdiscoxxheaven's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! Med-surg is truly not what I wanted to do but no job is not an option. Floating will be....interesting. we will see how this pans

  17. Float pool as a new grad? Any thoughts?

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to xxdiscoxxheaven's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure yet but it seems new grads at this hospital are largely not allowed to specialize without doing a year of med-surg. So they are hired on a float pool program. Unfortunately for new grads in...

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to TMT_P's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm honestly not here to argue. I referenced my old Jarvis physical assessment book and no such rationale is mentioned. Not saying you are wrong. I just wasn't taught that so I will feel no shame and...

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to regerterb's topic in Public, Community Health

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to TMT_P's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't say I hear it okay. I hear it perfectly. I work in an OB/GYN office and routinely do it EVERY day. With a thin layer, bp can be heard well. I never heard a difference. I also elevate the arm...

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

    xxdiscoxxheaven replied to bonniekate89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finished all the questions for nclex mastery with a 62%. But their questions are much harder than kaplan or ati in my opinion. I've been scoring 72% with kaplan and 75% with
