    RN Ati comprehensive Predictor 2016

    emmjayy replied to gamblerlens's topic in General Students

    I'm about to take the comprehensive predictor following the Virtual ATI Review. I got through the entire review in less than two weeks by virtue of sticking my nose in ATI constantly. I just took the...

    Favouritism in nursing school!

    emmjayy replied to Greeneyednurse1228's topic in General Students

    Did you look at the reason these awards were given out? A lot of awards (at least in my school) are given to people who overcame hardships (failing out of the program and coming back/succeeding would...

    Single Parent- How to get thru clinicals while in Nursing School?

    emmjayy replied to cilocybin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got through nursing school as a single parent but I waited until my child was old enough to go to school and applied to a weekday program so that she was in school and being cared for/learning...

    Should I appeal?

    emmjayy replied to aaronadams92's topic in General Students

    You can definitely appeal. In my program, they let some dude come back in after he failed four times because he just kept appealing and filing grievances and such. He was very persistent. Normally,...

    How Soon after Graduation did you take NCLEX?

    emmjayy replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated a week ago and I'd LOVE to have taken the NCLEX the day after grad. Or any time this next week. Unfortunately, I have to wait for the state to approve my application for licensure before I...

    Wrong Address on RN Application?

    emmjayy posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So, I live in New York and just applied for my license/NCLEX. I was told to apply for the NCLEX with Pearson Vue using the address on my photo ID, which is my parent's home. However, I live separately...

    Can I succeed in nursing school with no previous medical experience?

    emmjayy replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in General Students

    As someone who started nursing school with zero medical experience and who graduated as the salutatorian of my class with a job in critical care waiting for me, I can tell you that it's very possible...

    Last Clinical Rotation :)

    emmjayy replied to emmjayy's topic in General Students

    I took my last final on Monday and slept like a BABY that night. Helps that I got a good enough grade on the final to push me over the top and achieve an A in my capstone class I should probably be...

    emmjayy posted a topic in General Students

    Hey, guys - I've been posting on here for a couple of years now, ever since I started applying to nursing school. I just wanted to celebrate the fact that I just finished my preceptorship, took my...

    Pre-ICU Jitters

    emmjayy replied to mattb1989's topic in General Students

    I just completed a preceptorship in the ICU! It was a truly amazing experience, I saw and experienced more in my first two 12 hour shifts there than I had in two years of nursing school. I'm not sure...

    I have NO idea what speciality to choose. Please help!

    emmjayy replied to CassColl's topic in General Students

    I agonized over the whole "where do I specialize" thing unnecessarily. I started thinking about it in second semester, which was almost a year before I had to make a decision of any type! I think part...

    Last Clinical Rotation :)

    I am happy to take stress, any stress... as long as it's different from nursing school

    My mom is an RN and advises me not to become one

    emmjayy replied to Jen385's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that if you want to be a nurse, you should go to nursing school and see what happens. Keep an open mind about it! What you want to do now may not be what you want to do by the time you...

    Rant*I hope I'm never their patient

    emmjayy replied to xtina334's topic in General Students

    Just because someone takes a test quickly doesn't mean they aren't trying. I did my 180 question ATI comprehensive predictor and got an 85% on it (which resulted in me being given a 99% chance of...

    Accidental Pregnancy

    emmjayy replied to m2038's topic in General Students

    Hey OP. I got the positive pregnancy test three days before I shipped off to college for my freshman year. I have a similar family background. Abortion simply was not an option for me because of my...

    The ANA is worthless, looks down on floor nurses, don't join!

    emmjayy replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree with the MA nurses on the issue of mandated nurse to patient ratios. I'm graduating from nursing school soon and chose not to apply to any med-surg floors because the staffing...

    New grad salaries - what is it in your area?

    emmjayy replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    My hospital pays new grads $27.29/hr, base pay. Shift differential for nights is +$5/hr. This comes out to $51k-$60k/yr (36 hrs/wk, depending on whether you're night shift or not). Base pay bumps up...

    Messed up in Clinical

    emmjayy replied to BSN89's topic in General Students

    You're fine. This is definitely not a major error. A student in my program mixed up her patients and almost gave the wrong meds to the wrong patient, the only reason she didn't was because her...

    Multiple IV's for one student, none for the rest... Is this usual during clinical?

    emmjayy replied to Sherijo71's topic in General Students

    I feel that I never got enough skills or experience in clinical. I just started a preceptorship in the ICU (my final clinical placement before graduation) and have learned and done more in the 36...

    Nursing student HIPAA VIOLATION! Help

    emmjayy replied to Reagan2010's topic in General Students

    Not a HIPAA violation per se, but at my school they told us the first day that under no circumstances were we allowed to look up our own medical records in the system. If we wanted access, we needed...

    Hate clinicals?

    emmjayy replied to Blinkie2003's topic in General Students

    It's so crazy that in your final semester they still have you assigned to only one patient and still have tons of clinical paperwork. At my school, we got bumped up to providing all the nursing care...

    As a nurse or a student have you ever had a pt tell you that you won't be a good nurse?

    emmjayy replied to RNintraining622's topic in General Students

    My psych instructor told us that she keeps a book of all the names patients have called her and likes to look back at it and laugh. Sometimes these types of patients are very creative and it is kind...
