  1. How hard is it for a new grad to find a hospital job???

    missninaRN replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the people in my class had jobs lined up before we graduated. A few chose to delay their job search due to relocation, pregnancy, or because they wanted to take a break. I accepted a job offer...

    missninaRN replied to kamakasigirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm taking 7 now and have 1 1/2 weeks until I'm off orientation. It's hard and I run the whole shift, but at least I still have a preceptor to catch the things I'm missing-I am taking all of her...

    missninaRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. Starting 1st RN position soon.... med error haunting me :(

    missninaRN replied to CANewRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that med error will make you even more careful so that it doesn't ever happen again. I know that every mistake I have made-from forgetting to enter a closing note to failing to read back a...

    missninaRN replied to eternalsunshine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    missninaRN replied to IamRN08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    missninaRN replied to IamRN08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    missninaRN replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Koi Scrubs

    missninaRN replied to Ms Mischief's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I finally got my hands on some Koi pants. I wear talls and they seem to be on backorder everywhere, so it took awhile. I got both the Lindsey and the Marissa pants. I found that the Lindsey ran bigger...

  20. Anyone over the age of 30 taking the ACT?

    missninaRN replied to TNMommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the ACT for the first time at the age of 43 because the nursing school I was applying to required it. I hadn't taken a math class in over 25 years. I took about 3 months to prepare and I got a...

  21. Katherin Heigl Scrubs

    missninaRN replied to modelmama07's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    missninaRN replied to hopefornursing's topic in General Students

    It's always good to know what is expected of you before clinical so that you can plan your agenda. My first clinicals were in a LTC facility and lasted all of 5 hours. My agenda looked like this:...
