    RAndaRoo replied to RAndaRoo's topic in Texas Nursing

    You're welcome! Did you apply for any summer positions before school was out or are you just applying for October Residencies up here? I don't think as many places do the October Residencies here, not...

    RAndaRoo posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey y'all, haven't seen anyone post anything for JPS in Fort Worth. Just wondering if anyone else applied/interviewed for the summer nurse

  6. Passed NCLEX!! My experience..

    RAndaRoo replied to mississippikid's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RAndaRoo replied to batgirlRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I also where Wonder Wink and I love them!!! I always wear a tank top under my shirts too just to be safe and because it feels weird not

  8. Pearson Vue Trick The Truth

    RAndaRoo replied to SanManDan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I read one not that long ago where someone on here said they got the good pop up and then it changed. From what I understand they do not refund you. That is part of the risk in the PVT. You decided...

  9. Unsure of what nurse recruiter meant

    RAndaRoo replied to EP10's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would assume that if there aren't actual pre-employment forms that you're aware of, that she meant resume, cover letter, recommendations, etc. But I agree with PennyS, I would ask. I've definitely...

  10. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    RAndaRoo replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Lol this is how I always feel when my mom would tell people I was in nursing school. She can find a way to slip in that I'm in nursing school to the person working the register at the grocery store....

  11. How you used uworld?

    RAndaRoo replied to Nurse_Pattycakes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't taken my NCLEX yet so not sure if this is helpful to you but I currently am doing general questions. Doing topics makes me bored eventually lol and I've been trying to do at least 75...

  12. Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    RAndaRoo replied to missind33's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you absolutely did everything you could. I think people tend to think that if you knew something needed to be done then you should've done it, which obviously is not always realistic. And...

  13. Returning to Clinical Rotation after a semester and summer off?

    RAndaRoo replied to Allonsymckenzie's topic in General Students

    I don't really have any tips so not super helpful lol but I just wanted to say you can do it!! This happened to me twice, something about me and the fall semesters clearly didn't get along lol But...

  14. Scott & White Summer intern 2016

    RAndaRoo replied to m373's topic in Texas Nursing

    When they send out rejection letters it's usually when they absolutely positively know they're not going to offer you a position. A lot of times they will wait and send one out until everything is...

  15. Failed Nursing 4 by .8 of a point

    RAndaRoo replied to Cherway95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    See if there's a counselor or someone you can seek out for advice, for which course of action is better appealing your final grade or the policy of fail 2 courses and you're out. I've always been...

  16. Failed Nursing 4 by .8 of a point

    RAndaRoo replied to Cherway95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Okay if this is you being done with the program absolutely appeal! You have nothing to lose. The exact same thing happened to me, I appealed and it was granted. You basically fall on your own sword in...

  17. Visible tattoos

    RAndaRoo replied to brittiany96's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As others said usually it's in clinicals for nursing school that you have to cover tattoos. I live in Texas and plenty nurses that I work with have them. But they're usually small. I think as long as...

  18. Failed Nursing 4 by .8 of a point

    RAndaRoo replied to Cherway95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Truthfully at my school I have never seen anyone win an appeal to pass a class in regards to just not making a high enough grade. If it's just repeating the class I would probably not, from my own...

  19. Ran out of time! PASSED NCLEX-RN 1st attempt

    RAndaRoo replied to ValhallaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!!! Nice to read your story! Glad you slowed down, plus you never know what number you'll shut off at. I've had friends that took it and it shut off at 125 or 220. But thanks for...

    RAndaRoo replied to cbrewer281's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've yet to take NCLEX but UWorld questions are awesome. The rationales are so

  22. New Grad Internships/Residencies

    RAndaRoo replied to ant123's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely use indeed.com! It is the best and you can have it where they send you emails when things fitting your criteria pop up. There may be less still open for summer but it doesn't hurt to look....

  23. Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, & GenY/Millennials: Can We Work Together?

    RAndaRoo replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    I think just like we shouldn't generalize or stereotype men, women, cultures, ethnicities, etc. we shouldn't generalize or stereotype generations. I was born in 1991 so that groups me into millennial...

  24. Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    RAndaRoo replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I feel like I would look at you odd, just because I would look at anyone under any circumstances wearing multiple flowers in their hair as odd. Just not a fan, makes me think of hipsters. So for that...

  25. HELP: Will I ever get into ANY nursing schools?!

    RAndaRoo replied to Scout1234's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would go ahead and take TEAS too because some of those schools require TEAS instead of HESI. Also even if it's not what you necessarily want to do look into the traditional programs at the schools,...
