4. VA Hiring Process

   Rnapproved replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government

   I'd just like to share my hiring experience at the VA. I can't remember exactly when or if I applied for the position. I say "if" because I don't see the RN position(MedSurg) that I accepted on my USAjobs portal. I got called for an interview anyway ...

7. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

   Rnapproved replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting more out of your career. We are, after all, humans with everyday wants and needs. Bedside nursing is fine, but why would you exhaust yourself taking care of other people for the entirety of your life ...

   Also, if I were to give you an advice on what to memorize, I'd say memorize your lab values, insulin time and duration of action and immunization. I did not study pharmacology at all because it's worthless because I knew i won't be able to retain any...

9. NCLEX RN Advice

   Rnapproved replied to merzielynn's topic in NCLEX

   I think it's fair time to say that the NCLEX RN is not as hard as a lot of people play it out to be. In fact, the hardest part about the NCLEX RN are the negative thoughts you accumulate in your head whilst studying. I took the NCLEX 2 weeks ago and ...

    Rnapproved replied to ramenlove's topic in NCLEX

    I told myself I'd come back here whether or not I passed the NCLEX RN. This has been my source of encouragement through the entire process of applying for the NCLEX RN. Let me tell you that my journey through NCLEX RN took 7 years. Yes, 7 long years....

    Rnapproved replied to steppybay's topic in Registration

    Hi everybody! Just in case some of you, specially Philippine graduates, are out of hope to ever be licensed as a RN in the US, I have good news. I, too, had the same worries since graduating in 2009. I got approved for CA RN Nclex back in 2010 but fa...
