6. Forgetting Nursing Stuff

   Frotastic replied to Suns1113's topic in NCLEX

   I feel the same way. I graduated in December, but haven't been on a nursing floor since september. I work full-time right now and by the time I get home, the last thing I want to do is crack open a nursing book. lol Personally, I plan to take some cl...

7. Nursing Textbooks

   Frotastic replied to ydmoney06's topic in General Students

   I think you should definitely pursue it! Besides leadership, you also get to meet sooooo many people, which will come in handy for letters of recommendation and networking.

9. Your first nursing job

   Frotastic replied to Redmaile's topic in Post Graduate

   I totally know what you mean, I also recently graduated and don't feel super confident. However, I think that gives us a lot of room to grow. Land a good new grad program and you'll be fine.

    Frotastic replied to Rean87's topic in Post Graduate

    I agree with lunar11, the CNL role has the potential to grow substantially, especially on the West Coast! I have a professor who works as a CNL at a county hospital, so although most CNLs work at VA hospitals, you wouldn't be limited to just VA work....

12. Question for you grads...

    Frotastic replied to futurenurse0310's topic in Post Graduate

    I recently completed an accelerated MSN program. I personally did not work, but I was super active with extracurricular activities, which at times felt like a full-time job. Out of 36 students, only one classmate worked full-time as a home health aid...

    Frotastic replied to sbstaples12's topic in Post Graduate

    Hi Ruble2007... I recently went through USF's MSN-CNL program and had Dr. Lemos for many classes (Patho/pharm II, MedSurg I & II). She is awesome. Her class is tough, but passable. She did not have a study guide book when I had her, but I would d...
