  1. Blacklisted

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi all, I just recently graduated from nursing school (Finally) and I haven't taken my NCLEX-RN yet, but I am struggling to find a job as a CNA. I have 4 years of experience and throughout my...

  2. Can I still be a great nurse without prior CNA experience?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to azulaflameRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is not relevant to the post, but does anybody know how to start a conversation for others to reply? I can't seem to find the answer. Also, for OP, nursing programs don't require you to be a CNA....

  3. Second chance as a new grad

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, I have a question. Those who worked in HR either at a hospital or in general your advice would be greatly appreciated. Nursing managers like Unit Manager or Director please...

  4. Second chance as a new grad

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    You always bring hopes up, Caliotter3. Please don't ever change your profile name. It's always good to see your supportive positivity. I wish managers had that. I was planning on staying where I'm at...

  5. Second chance as a new grad

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I graduate next May. I was at the hospital for about a month or a month and a quarter, one of those two, and I didn't get to see these two patients almost the whole day because I was trying to answer...

  6. Skipping assigned reading?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    Yeah, med surg is difficult. I've been told fundamentals is med-surg. My program has fundamentals, then I think med surg 2 and med surg 3, so that would assume fundamentals is med surg

  7. Applying for VA as CNA

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was wondering if anybody knows if you can get a job as a CNA at the VA without experience? I'm technically a new grad with no experience. Unfortunately, due to my school schedule, I haven't been...

  8. Do not return list

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm not on here often, but I figured I'd get down to something that's been bothering me. I've been DNR'd from 3 facilities unfortunately. Actually 4. I was wondering if it's like a permanent thing...

  9. Do not return list

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, one facility I admit I was wrong. I was on my phone in a room before I was about to go home for the day. CNA here, it's agency to work for the facility you pick up. Not full employment....

  10. Do not return list

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been asked or told that I can never come back. It gets reported to the agency. Even the agency hasn't told me unless I asked which I thought was

  11. How many more times....

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Students

    How many times or programs did it take for you to get your BSN? I just failed my fundamentals exam 1, and granted I didn't read all the chapters, I'm trying to implement that, but we just took our...

  12. How many more times....

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    She lectures online due to Covid, but it's not relevant to the content. Our first day she said, "I normally do not teach in class. What I do is I go around the classroom and I see if anyone has any...

  13. Med Surge II requirements

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Students

    I have a question for nurses and nursing students. I'm taking peds and maternity at the moment, do you guys think it's necessary for Med Surge II? We did pharm and health assessment first semester,...

  14. How many more times....

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    This is a very late reply, but I eventually passed my test I think on my second attempt. I do have a question. I'm barely passing peds and some of our chapters are 50 pages long alone. The most I've...

  15. Nursing program exit exam?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Students

    What's the exit exam like in most nursing schools? Is it like non-nursing related questions or is it nursing related questions? My program gave us an ATI test at the beginning of our program and it...

  16. Night Nursing School

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Students

    Is there such a thing as night nursing school? Where you can do clinicals at night? Lab at night? Lecture at night? No, I'm not talking about in your home as in online school. I'm having to do a...

  17. History of Nursing Programs

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Students

    I'm curious how nursing programs have changed over the past 3 decades. How did nursing students find ways to understand the material? Buy a bunch of books with practice questions? Did teachers provide...

  18. How many more times....

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I've known now to prepare reading more. I didn't realize it was so important for fundamentals or nursing school. My CNA school was terrible. The books didn't match the exams. We didn't know anything...

  19. Caritas-Nursing ethics presentation

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have a presentation for a Caritas me and my group are doing. It's about "Cultivating one's issues in nursing practice, the law, and the professional nurse". A majority of my work is on angels of...

  20. Caritas-Nursing ethics presentation

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Tried that already and couldn't find what I was looking for. Somebody recommended to me a book on here, but I can't find it

    Hey all, So, I start nursing school, my first semester, August 29th 2019. My first classes are Pharmacology, Professional Role Development and Communication, and Health assessment. Not sure what to...

  22. 1st Sem. Nursing student: Shaking in my scrubs

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    No, thank goodness. Nothing wrong with having kids, but I admire those who do while in nursing school, married, divorced, or single. I was behind for a bit because I had to have my computer serviced...

  23. "We don't hire male RNs" and other things you should never say to me

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to labordude's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Isn't what the recruiter was doing considered

  24. 1st Sem. Nursing student: Shaking in my scrubs

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Omg, thank you for all of this! What you wrote looks overwhelming lmao One thing I am concerned about is tricks to use for solving problems. My algebra might not be all that

  25. Recording Lectures?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    That's funny considering many smartphones have good quality mics like the iPhone. Unless the school/class/instructor requires phones to be upfront in the class. Still, it can only take one person to...
