I’ve been working at a pediatric doctor’s office for almost a year now. Before this job I was on a med-surg floor at a hospital. I only lasted 3 months and hated it. My co-workers were toxic, we were understaffed, and the patients were mean/disrespec...

My professor only opened up the practice assessments for the 2016 Med Surg. How different is 2016 from 2019? Usually I study quizlets, but there are none for the 2019. Also any advice to get a level 2 or 3? Thanks ?

I thought I was doing well in my orientation until around week 9 when my preceptor starting telling my manager a bunch of things I was doing wrong. This was the first time I was aware of these problems. My manager called me in for a meeting and my co...

I’m a new grad with 3 months experience on a med-surg floor. I usually had 5-6 patients and it was too much for me. I was constantly running around the whole day with hardly any time to even go to the bathroom. There were a ton of meds to give out, c...

I want to become a nurse in one of these specialties, but almost all the jobs I see say they require experience in that area already. How did you start straight out of nursing school? And what did you do to get into a specialty? Thanks!

Some examples: BUN (10-20 for ATI) (6-20 on UWorld) Calcium (9.0-10.5 for ATI) (8.6-10.2 on UWorld) Magnesium (1.3-2.1 for ATI) (1.5-2.5 for UWorld)

Has anyone heard back from a recruiter or had their application status change yet? I applied on November 12 and have yet to hear anything back. If anyone has any information from the last cohort that would be helpful too. Thanks!

I graduated in May and this is the first interview I'm going to have. The interview is with a recruiter. If I pass the interview with the recruiter I will then have an interview with the hiring manager. What kind of questions should I expect from a ...

I’m going to my manager’s office on my day off to pick up some paperwork. It’s not a meeting or anything, I’m just picking up the papers and leaving. What should I wear? Should I put scrubs on? Or just wear my casual everyday clothes (jeans, shirt, f...

I want to be a pediatric nurse. I however have no experience in this area. I'm afraid that if I apply and get a pediatric job that I will know nothing once I start. I don't want other nurses to think I'm stupid and I don't want to make a mistake and ...

I can't seem to find much information about any residency programs in New Jersey. Has anyone been in one of these programs or have information on any? Thanks!

I'm not quite sure what order on my resume would be the best. Thank you for any advice. What I have now: - Professional summary (4 sentences) - Certifications & Licensure (RN license & BLS Provider) - Education (2 bachelor's degrees) - Studen...

I recently graduated and passed my NCLEX. I’ve been at home for about 2 months now because of the coronavirus. I’ve gotten used to living this way (sleeping in, having no homework or tests to study for, being with my parents and sisters 24/7, not a l...

I’m graduating on April 7th and I’m curious about how life after graduating went for others. How soon after graduating did you take your NCLEX? After passing the NCLEX when did you start applying and eventually getting your first job?

I needed to interview a nurse leader/manager for a paper. The person I was going to interview is sick and I can’t contact them. Could you answer a few questions please? It would help me out a lot. Thank you! 1.) Describe your administrative position ...

I've finally decided that I am going to become an RN. If you look at my previous posts you will see that I've been debating what I should do for a long time now. I'm planning on graduating with my bachelor's degree in health sciences and then doing a...

I'm interested in becoming an ER or pediatric nurse. After working for a while I might go back to school to get my master's so I can become a nurse practitioner. One of the main reasons that I'm doing the accelerated program is because it's less expe...

I'm going to be a sophomore in college next semester and I can't decide between becoming a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, occupational therapist, or physician assistant. I'm a very organized person and I want a career where I feel like I'm act...

I'm planning on shadowing at a hospital sometime over the summer so I can decide on a major. My younger sister is also interest in the healthcare careers. Do you think a hospital would allow both of us to shadow together? I'm 19 and she's 17. She wil...

I'm currently a freshman in college and I'm trying to decide what I should declare for my major. I'm stuck between becoming an occupational therapist, nurse practitioner, registered nurse, and physician assistant. OT, NP, and PA all require a master'...

I'm trying to decide between becoming an Occupational Therapist and an RN. I'm a freshman in college and I have to decide soon. It takes 5.5 years to become an Occupational Therapist and 4 years for an RN at my university. I get 2.5 years of college ...

I'm currently an undecided freshman in college and I need to decide on a major before February. I'm stuck between becoming an occupational therapist or a registered nurse. Some things I like about an RN is that you make a difference in someone's life...

I'm currently a freshman in college and I'm undecided. I want a job that feels like I'm making a difference in someone's life. I also want a job that is exciting and not doing the same thing everyday. I've been considering nursing since I was a sopho...
