My two cents is the vaccine is beneficial for those who are vulnerable. The risks don't outweigh the benefits for the young and healthy.

She said her daughter is soon to be 12. I just gave my two cents. Is that considered misinformation right away?

Just Google Maddie De Garay. She is 12 and she volunteered for the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine trial.

Hospitals have questionnaires that nurses have to answer before every shift if they have COVID symptoms. My honest question is, if a nurse tested positive for COVID (vaccinated or not) she/he needs to stay home for 10 days or more to avoid spreading it. How does the vaccine helps with the patient's welfare? (A civil conversation would be great)

Very old thread worth reviving. I disagree with some nurses who say basically suck it. here's my story. I applied for a morning shift part-time position however due to seniority it was granted to a tenured night shift nurse. Recently, there was an opening for a part-time position night shift, but it was granted to another tenured nurse, which I fully understand. Several weeks after I started in the unit, I started having a lot of medical problems like skin hives and severe insomnia. I have been to several doctors but without any answers. All my lab works were normal or negative, but I am having all these symptoms. I’ve been trying to manage in the last 6 months but recently I started having terrible eye pain, dizziness, and headaches. I had to call in 2 days in a row which I hate doing as I understand how vital each RN in every shift. With all these being said, I am requested to go part-time in the medical unit or if I can be released before my first year to move to another unit where I can work part-time. I understand that nursing as a profession was never meant to be stress-free. I love my job, but I need to listen to my body too. The last thing I want to do is to call in every week and be a burden to the staffing or show up to work with all these symptoms and perform mediocrely and compromise the welfare of my patients. work should not be a suck it up kinda environment. my body is in so much stress it is asking for help. there should be a halfway were management and the employees needs can both be met. My managers gave me a part time position and hoping to go on days. this is not about convenience. so while I understand you, it is just difficult for some.

I have questions about the Providence RN Fellow Program: How many are they hiring?Is it yearly?How long is the program? What is the approximate pay?

I graduated 2007 recently passed NCLEX I'm a foreign grad with few months of experience. I am still hoping for a call but I don't know the likelihood of being hired because most of the applicants graduated recently.

Are you a fresh grad? I was interviewed too but I am not a new grad but without experience.

Congrats! How many areas did you apply for?

Did anyone get a call yet?

On the paper that was given, the second round of interview will be between May 25th even until July. You only applied for PICU?

AUGUST 2018 COHORT Did anybody apply last week, May 24th? I sat down with nurse managers that were available that time. The specialty didn't really matter to me. It was an interesting experience selling myself to them.

I started this thread to update everyone who applied for the residency program of Legacy Health. We will specify the month and year for everyone's reference.

I used the following in my 6 months of review: *Saunders - used it for only 2-3 months. I didn't really have the time to read all the time *NCLEX RN Mastery - which I think didn't really help me a lot as I finished answering it the first 3 months of my review. *UWorld - subscribed for 3 months. Mind you I got 25% in my sample test and eventually climbed up. If you take Uworld seriously, NCLEX is easier. Just weird though! *Mark Klimek Audio Recording - if you don't know the answer, his strategies are really helpful, especially in prioritization. *Sara of RegisteredNurseRN on Youtube - don't underestimate the importance of pathophysiology as this will really help for the SATA.

Is the Residency qualification of "Less than 1-year experience RN" means after passing the NCLEX RN?

So sorry to hear did you use uworld?

I have a cheap Android phone I bought from Amazon. LOL

Took my NCLEX RN exam Feb 28th. I arrived at the testing center before 7.30 AM. The center was already open so I took a number and waited. Anyway, long story short. Prints were taken and I sat for my test. I was in the first 10 numbers of the test when the proctor came and check my locker # and said your phone is making noise. I was.?!?! I turned it off. When I got out of the room, I heard my phone screaming cockadoodledoo!!!! (My everyday 8:00 AM alarm) So I the proctor had to cut the bag and I turned off the phone again. Five minutes later, the proctor came back saying my phone is screaming again. I was embarrassed but at the same time giggling. So I moved out, he cut the pouch and I turned off the phone in front of him. Then, I came back to continue my test. That didn't stop there!!!! He came back again and said it was screaming again, this time I am already annoyed. Same procedure, this time I turned off the alarm itself. It turns out my phone will wake up on its own if an alarm has been set and It was snoozing. Anyway, that was my blooper. It was hilarious. A little comedy to calm my nerves! Did you have one?

My head is still pounding from the tension and anticipation of the result of my NCLEX RN test. Anyway, I GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY!!!! I passed my exam after graduating 11 years ago. Graduated BSN in 2007 Phil - RN 2008 HAAD - RN Passer 2010 After I graduated in 2007, my parents stopped supporting me financially. So, I had to look for a job to support myself. Getting a job as a nurse in my city is quite difficult as it requires you to render RN skills without pay. I had to work as an ESL tutor and a call center agent for years but didn't lose my love for nursing. I had an opportunity to go to UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) to pursue my nursing career but didn't work out as well. A few years later an opportunity surfaced to try UAE again through an agency. But then, I met the man of my life and I chose LOVE (LOL). I migrated to the US, got married. Said we will wait a year before I get pregnant so I can start my nursing. NOPE didn't even make it a month. I got pregnant! Things got pushed back. A lot of hoops to jump through getting my papers from the Philippines to the US. The state where I am at has quite a difficult process to jump so I applied to a different state. Long story short, I got my ATT and started reviewing. Oh my, I cried a lot of times overwhelmed with all these information basically from the beginning. I read a lot of good things about UWorld so I tried the sample test. I got 25%. So sorry if my writing jumps all over the place. It is going to be a drama series if I write it with complete details. Ask questions and I'd be happy to reply.

I took my test Feb28th as well. I am here seating staring at the Pearson Vue website thinking of doing the trick but I am hesitant. I don't want it to mess up with my emotions. I am nervous as bad as before the test. I have been having a pounding headache. I prayed that the Lord will help me pass at 75 -100 questions. The test stopped at 75. I don't have a plan if worst case scenario happens. I just can't look at my notes at the moment. Overall, God is sovereign and He is in control. All the glory belongs to Him.

Ughh I took my test yesterday and I've been having headache waiting for the result. I kinda refuse to use the trick as it might mess up with my emotions. I didn't have delegation to LPN/UAP questions at all. I had estimated 15-20 SATA, 1 picture, 1 ECG, 2 or 3 floating RN question. The test stopped at 75 questions and proceeded to the research part that has no bearing to the test. I chose not to continue after approaching the proctor as my head started to tighten already. I told myself to have a break if the test doesn't stop at 75. I am so torn right now. I feel like am I that bad? or I am above the passing line most of the time. It is killing me.

I appreciate that you took time to reply. Pass or Fail please let me/us know of the result. Take care!

I hope you pass! God is in control! I am taking mine soon too. I have questions for you if you don't mind. So how does the NCLEX exam looks like? Do they give you a whiteboard for calculation or a sheet of paper with a pen? *How big are the fonts? Can you make it bigger? LOL (This is the nervous me) *Are there any lockers? I am so clammy right now.

They will only honor a letter from the hospital straight to them.

ORBON requires a letter from the hospital, in my case, the foundation, to be sent directly to them. The problem is, the foundation closed already. We were just given our COE. The silly thing is, the alternative of not having the 960 hours is to do the re entry program so that you can sit for NCLEX, which I don't mind but when I called the agency that does the program they were confused because you can only do re entry program after passing NCLEX. I called the BON 10 months ago and they said you can take the test but your license will not be released without doing the re entry program. So confusing. Any enlightenment can help. Thanks!
