  1. Previous transcripts

    AngelKissed857 replied to Davismi's topic in General Students

    If you're grades were that poor, do you want to submit those

  2. RN License post

    AngelKissed857 replied to baileygambrell's topic in General Nursing

    Obvious question, but if it hasn't posted, how do you know you

  3. Would you tell a co-worker he needs hearing aides?

    AngelKissed857 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    This person is saying it IS a safety issue. When you can't hear week, you work hard to fill in the gaps. A partner having to say everything at least twice isn't just annoyed, it puts a wedge in their...

  4. NCLEX and Uworld

    AngelKissed857 replied to Sbar08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did my NCLEX last summer. Lacharity for all the delegation questions is essential, Saunders for content review, and UWorld. It's all you need. Passed in 75. Have great job that I love! Best of luck...

  5. Waiting on acceptance letter???

    AngelKissed857 replied to caffeinequeen26's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!

  6. Would you tell a co-worker he needs hearing aides?

    AngelKissed857 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just getting ready to have the same conversation with a co-worker. The fine thing is that I have a significant loss, and wear hearing aids. I'm really up-front about it at work, and get tons of...

  7. Very Low Gpa...Is there still hope?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Futurern2013's topic in General Students

    Ask for an "academic renewal" or a "fresh start". If you're school offers it, you get to start over, won't be able to use any of those classes of course, but doesn't sound like you'd want to anyway!...

  8. Help me pick a surgery to observe!!

    AngelKissed857 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Students

    Ask the nurse making the assignment if there is a surgeon that likes students and likes teaching. No matter WHAT the procedure is, a surgeon like that will make it the best

  9. Waiting on acceptance letter???

    AngelKissed857 replied to caffeinequeen26's topic in General Students

    Are you sure it's a letter and not an email that you're waiting

  10. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    AngelKissed857 replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

    Had a patient in her late 90's, sharp as a tack, had surgery that left her unable to raise her arms much for her lengthy hospital stay. She was a retired PHN/NP. Worked full-time till she was 85....

  11. Asked to resign after 6 months

    AngelKissed857 replied to FNKA's topic in General Nursing

    Ambersmom gave you some excellent ways to address these

  12. NCLEX and Uworld

    AngelKissed857 replied to Sbar08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Personally I felt UWorld was the best prep. Somewhere on the internet there is a chart that correlates your test averages to pass probability. I remember that I had a test average of about 74 and a...

  13. Thinking about going into nursing but...

    AngelKissed857 replied to Honeybee2486's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is something new and different every day, you learn something new every day, sometimes every patient. It keeps you in your toes! Today I heard the most interesting lung sounds on a CF patient,...

  14. Srjc nursing lottery 2017

    AngelKissed857 replied to marioarmel's topic in School, College Programs

    You really can't schedule much of anything while in the program. There are frequent changes with very little warning. The expectation is that this is your life for the next two years. And beyond...

  15. Nurses' Week - Upended.

    AngelKissed857 replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    My facility "celebrated" early by combining Nurse's Week with Administrative Assistants Appreciation Day.

  16. Hiring manager offered position, HR said no and won't tell me why.

    AngelKissed857 replied to MiloRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you posted your application on their website, they was probably lingo in there where you did consent to them checking references, etc. I actually had a similar experience last year, the recruiter...

  17. Wearing scrubs home?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Lee_Ryan's topic in General Nursing

    absolutely not true- the research is horrifying. Cannot imagine wearing scrubs from hospital to anywhere but my ultra-hot washing machine, and shoes are in a plastic bag before I get in my car. MRSA...

  18. Dialysis or Psych for new grad?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    As a dialysis nurse (Home hemo and peritoneal), I'd absolutely recommend dialysis. And if it's home PD and Home hemo, even better. In a dialysis center you are moving fast all the time, you are...

  19. Is 54 too old to get a doctorate degree?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You know when you're too old? When you're dead! That's it! Went back to get my RN at 57, ADN at 59, BSN at 60 (accelerated program). Starting FNP this fall, I work 32 hours a week, and I'm hoping to...

  20. Best Tips for Nurses - WIN $250! Nurses Week Contest 2018

    AngelKissed857 replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    Exactly- the basics matter! What they taught you in nursing school was the bare minimum of how to not kill your patients. Those basics will ALWAYS be the cornerstone of your nursing

  21. Got all 265 questions on NCLEX RN today

    AngelKissed857 replied to Flour21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Give yourself a few days to mope and feel sorry for yourself. Then mark the date you'll be allowed to retest, register for the exam again, buy UWorkd, and set a study schedule that will get you...

  22. Got all 265 questions on NCLEX RN today

    AngelKissed857 replied to Flour21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX Aug 2018. It was miserable, but I passed at 75. With a few months of separation, my perspective is a bit different on the test. I think what makes it SOOO bad is just the emotion we...

  23. Best Tips for Nurses - WIN $250! Nurses Week Contest 2018

    AngelKissed857 replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    Never be afraid to to say I don't know, just always add, but I'll find out and get back to you TODAY. Then do it. And never ever stop

  24. Anyone out there attend a RN to BSN program?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Will be graduating from an accelerated RN-BSN program in 3 weeks. It is a lot of writing- fortunately I love writing. No care plans or anything like that. I did have a semester of clinical because my...

  25. Srjc nursing lottery 2017

    AngelKissed857 replied to marioarmel's topic in School, College Programs

    It's not a true bridge program, it's an accelerated BSN, and when you register on Nursing CAS for the program, it's pretty confusing. Good luck to
