  1. How do you leave it at work?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for this! I left out a couple of details intentionally because I didn't want to put anything identifiable in what I wrote but this definitely helped set my mind at

  2. How do you leave it at work?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Never said it, never intend to. The only people I wouldn't want as a nurse are people I know personally who I wouldn't trust to put on a band-aid (for a multitude of reasons that I won't go into here...

  3. What is a good topic for nursing school entrance essay?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I'd stick with that. It shows your level of dedication to the profession and, to me, implies that you will work hard to achieve your goals. Good luck to

  4. How do you leave it at work?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's a great idea! I live really close to work so maybe I'll just take the long way home and give it a try :) I'm "glad" (for lack of a better word) that I'm not alone in this. I was feeling...

  5. Does everyone have a conscience?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I've always subscribed to the whole "there's no bad kids, just bad behavior" thing. However, I think that sociological issues throughout childhood and a lack of parenting (which if I remember...

  6. Comfortable living?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Kdao's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on where you live. Here? No. I make about $1100 biweekly after taxes and

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Nurse lyfe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    35 minutes for 75 questions. I read and comprehend quickly and stuck with my gut

  8. Palm vein scan

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Nurse lyfe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine were on hold for testing too quickly. It's agonizing to wait but hang in there!

  9. PVT question

    Newbie_RN17 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does your state do quick results or have you looked at the BON website to see if you have a license? I'd rely on that more than the PVT, though the good popup does tend to be a good indication of...

  10. Jobs out of school

    Newbie_RN17 replied to cvandyke's topic in General Students

    Offered my job May 1st, graduated May 15th. Med-surg but I was also offered ortho and OR. Just happened to graduate right when the market around here opened up

  11. Bryant&Stratton

    Newbie_RN17 replied to ReneeRN2017's topic in School, College Programs

    If the program is accepted by your state BON and you can get licensed, the license can transfer if I remember correctly. HOWEVER, $45k for an associate's degree is insanely high and some colleges...

  13. i dislike med surg

    Newbie_RN17 replied to dcwang's topic in General Students

    Oh for heaven's sake, I was trying to be upbeat and reassuring, not trying to tell her something she didn't already

  14. Graduating in December- when to start interviewing?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to sparky605's topic in General Students

    I started applying in March, interviewed in April, hired May 1st. I started May 26th and got my RN license June 4th. I wouldn't say anything about a start date until you are offered a job or asked...

  15. i dislike med surg

    Newbie_RN17 replied to dcwang's topic in General Students

    That's kinda "funny" to me because that's EXACTLY where my interests were before I took my current job. I did my precepting in recovery services at a small hospital and applied to/was accepted for an...

  16. i dislike med surg

    Newbie_RN17 replied to dcwang's topic in General Students

    Hated med-surg as a student. Took a job on a med-surg floor and LOVE it. It's completely different for me than my school experience!

    Thank you! It's so interesting to hear how much things can change in just one year!

  18. New Med-Surg RN

    Newbie_RN17 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi everyone! I'm a new RN, and new to med-surg. I actually insisted all through school that I'd NEVER be a med-surg nurse and that I'd take any position that wasn't on a med-surg floor but I am...

  19. Timeline for graduation, NCLEX, and 1st RN Job

    Newbie_RN17 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Finishing up the questions since I also passed :) How many questions and how long did it take you? 75 questions, 35 minutes (I don't suggest it, they put my results on hold for 25 hours to review the...

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I just started getting my own patients this week, had two on Tuesday and was supposed to have three yesterday but one came up WAY more critical than I was told in report so I got experience calling...

  21. How did the NCLEX go?

    Newbie_RN17 replied to jarielle22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought it was hard but passed with 75 questions. Just read the questions closely, stick with your gut, and you'll do fine! Best of luck to

  22. Online Pre Requisites

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Prenurse94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you go to account, then settings, it'll have an option for "view all account options." Click that and it'll have "change login info" and it'll have change username under that. Best of luck to...

  23. Online Pre Requisites

    Newbie_RN17 replied to Prenurse94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Prereqs are definitely doable online, but you have to be the kind of person with the drive to do them. If you set aside time each week to complete your assignments anything is doable! A note though,...
