    bunnehfeet replied to Bayleealyssa's topic in School, College Programs

    Happy to chime in, I applied in Feb - just decided to go for it a couple weeks before deadline, Acute Care Gero NP specialty track, and got my acceptance letter on

    Healthcare insurance

    bunnehfeet replied to Colleenj19's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought is always that we'll see a higher volume of sicker patients with longer problem lists - which at first blush seems impossible given what we see already, because hospitals will be the...

    NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

    bunnehfeet replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    UWorld. It's all I used for about 3 weeks after I graduated. I passed in 75 questions. The question types are similar, the color and the look and feel of the online platform is the same as NCLEX, the...

    Oatmeal gloves

    bunnehfeet replied to T-Bird78's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Did a rotation in a facility that used them. On the one hand (pun intended) they felt great on my hands. On the other, they are the thickness of food service or cleaning gloves, and they are bad for...

    NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

    bunnehfeet replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX this morning, it shut off at 75 and I got the good pop up this afternoon. Will wait for quick results, but I feel pretty confident. I did UWORLD for 3 weeks after graduation, I did about...

    Job offers before graduatiing?

    bunnehfeet replied to melsothavy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This mirrors my experience too. In my traditional BSN program the last (5th) semester is Summer, only 8 weeks so it isn't surprising we start looking for jobs in our fourth semester. Programs for new...

    Do nurses use "Linked In"?

    bunnehfeet replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you should use it. It's a professional network and the recruiters of all major healthcare organizations (and non-major ones) use it. I include my linkedin profile on my resume, and it was useful...

    Anatomy and physiology notes

    bunnehfeet replied to shak95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I got an A in lecture and lab for both A&P 1 and 2. Here's the secret. I studied (a lot), and I made my own notes. Pro Tip: When you have lab time, use your phone to take pictures of all the...

    What time do you wake up for work?

    bunnehfeet replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Same. 3am is first alarm, and I take a caffeine pill and let it get to working and I'm on the treadmill by 4 (but I have a second alarm at 4 in case I miss the first one, which happens sometimes), out...

    Your FAVORITE job

    bunnehfeet replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    Cardiac rehab was actually one of my clinical sites in school. Basically it's like working at a gym, but where you're monitoring telemetry for everyone who is working out; also lots of assessments and...

    Eclipse concerns

    bunnehfeet replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I'm in Georgia and Atlanta metro area schools are actually delaying school release times for this reason (also because this is a cool thing for kids to learn about) and we're very near the path of...

    Amazon Textbook Rentals?

    bunnehfeet replied to longwayup's topic in General Students

    Also, Amazon Prime Student is half the price of regular prime and comes with all the same perks. You just have to confirm you are a student with your institutional email address. Saved me thousands...

    Heartbroken (long winded-sorry!)

    bunnehfeet replied to Fatsacktommy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this happened to you. But thank you for posting it. Because basically this happened to me too, and I've had a hard time getting over it. My partner of 14 years imploded our relationship,...

    Leaving My Job While Still In Orientation

    bunnehfeet replied to abm2013's topic in Nursing Career

    I would also make sure - if you signed any sort of contract - what it is going to cost you to leave at this point? I know if I left during my orientation (which starts in a week) I would owe the...

    Pharm Advice (Using UWorld, Kaplan)

    bunnehfeet replied to malaz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the ATI pharm book is really good - it's an outline that is comprehensive and only utilizes generic names (since trade names are no longer included on NCLEX). Maybe you can find a used copy...

    Timid personality in the OR?

    bunnehfeet replied to RNsunluv's topic in Operating Room

    You can't be afraid to be loud in the OR if for no other reason than sometimes it's incredibly hard to hear. Think about doing your bedside nursing job, talking to patients, talking to colleagues,...

    Soon to be new grad BSN...should I work below license while waiting for position to open?

    bunnehfeet replied to brindlenurse's topic in Operating Room

    It's sort of uncanny how I am in the same position as the original poster. I am finishing my BSN end of July. I actually have been in a periop program for the last two semesters as part of my...

    Moving down in the world

    bunnehfeet replied to garciadiego's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I notice this is in the LTC forum - but I'm confused by the statement "no one is hiring RNs"? Do you mean in the LTC market? I know not everyone likes hospital jobs, but surely there are RN positions...

    Developing sterile consciousness

    bunnehfeet replied to SAS2016's topic in Operating Room

    You're still pretty new, and I went through these same issues too my first weeks in the OR. Stop comparing yourself to people who have done this for 10 years or more, you're still a novice (was the...

    This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    bunnehfeet replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    See if there aren't recent grads or those in later semesters that are selling their books (the ones that don't require access codes). If a lot of these books are things like drug guides and lab...

    What did you pay for your textbooks?

    bunnehfeet replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are likely some packages or the online access portion of a package that you'll be required to buy by your program. Separate them whenever you can. Our big one was for Med Surg, which didn't...

    bunnehfeet replied to Chikki_Noodle's topic in General Students

    Amazon Prime Student has saved me tons of money. It gives you half price Amazon Prime (with all the benefits therein) and you can rent text books, the average price for most of mine was around $40...

    ATI 2016

    bunnehfeet replied to ayelah_ganda's topic in General Students

    I got a 3 on OB and a 2 on Peds, I thought it was a little tougher. YMMV. I did better on OB portions of my OB/Peds class than the Peds too though. So maybe just my learning curve. Good

    ATI 2016

    bunnehfeet replied to ayelah_ganda's topic in General Students

    I mainly did practice exams (A and B) on ATI's website, I read the most current ATI mental health book, and I did card sets on Quizlet. If you do a search for ATI and Mental, you'll get cards people...

    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    bunnehfeet replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be 44 when I graduate with my BSN this summer and I am not the oldest person in my class. My mother was an RN for 40 years, retired at 72. She still managed 12 hour days, up until the end. I...
