Congratulations, Brandy, RN.

Well, my question would be, are these graduate nurses still working as new graduate nurses and getting paid a new grad salary? Here in Alabama, if a graduate nurse is working as a graduate nurse and fails the boards, then their temporary work permit...

Julie, I believe it has something to do with protection of the sterility of Diflucan. I am not for sure about this though but I remember reading this somewhere....I forgot where though. Hope this helps you

RN in Alabama

Congratulations to you Brandy. I am so glad that you got the job that you wanted. Good luck to you as you start your nursing career.

Congratulations to you. Best of luck

I don't think you can do that. When you graduate, you will have an Associates degree in Nursing as well as a BS in biology. When I decided to go back to school (already had a BS in biology), I went thru the BSN program at my school and was award...

Bachelor's degree- new RN grad with 6 months of experience Pay including night shift differential is $20....nothing extra for charge

Hi Brandy, Even though I am a new graduate RN, I would be more than happy to share some of my knowledge that I have in the areas of cardiac & med-surg. This is a great idea that you have. I know that is was extremely helpful to me to hav...

So sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. Yalonda

No Tonya, it doesn't sound like you are pushing it. As a matter of fact, you have the right idea in mind by looking thru those NCLEX books because some of the instructors might pull questions from NCLEX books because they are suppose to test you in ...

Congratulations to you!!!! Now go out and celebrate and welcome to the nursing profession.

Robin, I agree with Rick 110%. You should try to get a cardiologist to do a heart cath on your husband to check for any blockages. What you will find on cardiac units is that when a pt is having chest pain, an EKG is usually obtained before giving ...

I have also found that was in nsg school, after taking med/surg classes, it would be very beneficial for you to keep your med/surg books for future reference.

Hello I live in Birmingham I took the NCLEX in December and there was not a 800# or 900# to call to find out your results. The way I found out that I has passed was to call the Alabama Board of Nursing verification line after 3 wks to find out if...

This is a very good idea Brandy. As a recent grad and RN myself, if you wouldn't mind, I would love to chat with all of you and offer some words of encouragement and advice to you. My AOL screen name is YalondaF. Hope to chat with you soon.

Congratulations to you. I know that you are glad that the "board" experience is behind you. Good luck on your job.

Hi in what part of alabama are you located? I livein Birmingham and graduated from UAB SON and I know that they go straight thru the summer. You can email me @ [email protected] if you have any questions.

I may be wrong but you may be referring to nursing assistants or where I work, they are called PCAs. Some hospitals may even call them PCTs but whatever they call them, yes this is an entry level position into the medical field and will definitely h...

I agree with Kday. Definitely sit down for a minute and stretch. Also get some good shoes to help support your feet. I work 3 12hour shifts in a row as well. Good luck to you

I agree with all of the other posts. I sleep with a big blanket up to my bedroom window and I also turn all the ringers off on the phones so that I can get some sleep and any running around that I may need to do, I either try to do it before I go to...

Hi, Just as the other posters have said, these things come with practice. While in clinical, you will be working off of your instructor's license so they will be very careful with you concerning different task. Don't worry, you will catch on, thes...

Everyone has that same feeling was they realize they want to be nurses or once they come out of nursing school. I even felt that way once I graduated in December but wherever you may work, just take your time doing things and if you have questions a...
