al3x117 RN, EMT-B

I was wondering why you chose to be an ICU nurse? And at what point did you realize that you wanted to do this type of nursing? What is it like caring for patients who are severely sick? Thanks.

If you are really bored you could volunteer to teach pediatrics to new nurses if you enjoy teaching or being a preceptor. It will help hone your skills while you continue to practice at your current peds job. Just a thought.

Bro!! I'm in the same boat. Honestly my preceptor has taught me that nursing can only be honed through time. Time is the greatest factor. It's experience and sometimes if your like me...you want to know everything right now. Which is hillarious becau...

I'm a nurse with 6 months experience at a SNF. I recently got hired into the hospital on the medsurg/tele floor. I'm still in new grad orientation. My question is why am I slow. It's like my mind is going in slow-mo on the busy medsurg floor and your...

SOOOOO TRUE!!!!! PATIENTS ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE CRITICAL EVERY SINGLE MONTH!!!

When is the right time to apply for a correctional nursing job as a new grad? I graduate in June (2019). Thanks.

Is it possible to get into the PACU as a new grad? What residency programs allow new grads in the PACU in Washington and Oregon?

Absolutley that would be great. Would love some more info on that! I appreciate it.

Thank you I will try doing that.

HAHAHA!!!! OMG! Thank for the laugh!!!

Dude I needed this after my PEDS rotation today. Thanks! For the laugh!

Any nurses or new grads who got a position in the PICU or PEDS floor? Should I apply to a children's hospital? Can you apply to PEDS right out of graduating or do I need to apply to a nurse residency program? Thanks for reading. Just looking into my ...

Got the same book!

Your not alone my friend! I too have been struggling in medsurg class as well as struggling in clinical. There are many things that are stressfull in nursing school but I will tell you it's how you perceive each situation. Simulation is very stressfu...

Congrats!!

I don't want to specialize in anything, to be honest. I want a nursing job where I will see and do everything. Just wanting to get my feet wet. What areas of nursing are the best for this type of learning environment?

Just wondering if there are male nurses who enjoy L&D and currently work in that unit. If so give a shout out. What is it like? What are some highs and lows of the job? Why did you choose L&D? To my fellow companions especially the hard worki...

Use Khan Academy Nclex-RN. It really helps me because the content is short and to the point. Enjoy. NCLEX-RN | Test prep | Khan Academy

Try sending me a PM I think I figured it out. And I accepted you as a friend. I sent you back a PM and I think I forgot to check the box where it can accept PM messages from people who are not in my contacts. So I think it should work this time.

I had to take developmental psych instead of human growth & development. Both I believe are the same thing.

Keep pushing through...just think about the time you wanted to get into nursing school. Yes, it is extremely difficult and patho and micro were challenging classes. Just keep working on it. For me, mental was a hard class because like you I am a very...

Do any nurses float from the floor (med-surg) to the ER or vice versa? do you like just pick up extra shift in the ED or on the floor? How does floating actually work within a hospital? Are you on call for a certain number of hours and can get called...

By the way this standard right her is legit! This is why nursing school is no joke. If you don't take it seriously your a** is bye bye. You gotta hit the books/powerpoints/podcasts/notes etc. They have to hold nurses to a higher standard because your...

To be honest the key in nursing school is to not do the bare minimum. Like yes, the nursing school can grade however they want to but it's ultimately up to you to reach that expectation. It's ultimately up to you to succeed. Like my senior nursing fr...

How is this even medically accurate! This is some voodoo BS.
