Work all night... sleep all day!

Hi OP! Don't you know anyone who is working in the hospital where you want to work? Maybe you could ask them? In our hospital, they don't hire RN's who are obese and smoker. I tell this to my little "huge" friends who are planning to work in our hos...

I would say... "According to Darwin's theory, we all came from monkeys. So if you think I am one, then you are too!" So when you encounter him again: Doc: Good morning monkey Nurse: Good morning too fellow monkey!

Agree with previous post... your school is preparing you for taking the NCLEX! In NCLEX, just in case you are intended to take the full 265 questions, the magic rule is 1 minute per question. You cannot skip a question on nursing board exam. You only...

Congratulations!

My close friends in nursing school have grandkids! No kidding!

Coffee and Mountain Dew! ... kidding I study for 50 minutes, then brisk walking around the house or library for 10 minutes. I did this every hour... and I could stay awake the whole night!

Times have changed now. Years ago, you can easily get a hospital job with an ADN degree in our state. Things have changed and most hospitals in our state now preferred to hire a RN, BSN grad. If you are aiming for a hospital job, it may be more recom...

Studying for NCLEX takes time and effort. Can you study for NCLEX-PN while you are still in BSN Nursing school? Would you be able to do it at the same time? My senior year while I was in nursing school was overwhelming. I would be crazy if I was on m...

Hello OP. I truly feel you. It's good you tried to vent out here on AN, and good to hear you are getting some support. I am wondering if you are also working. Working with many hours plus nursing school can be very stressful at times. I would also g...

Haha! I think he/she is! First time I read this topic/thread, I thought it may be a FLAME BAIT! But too bad, I bite the bait! Lesson that I learned: When I perceived that a certain topic/thread is a flame bait, better not to respond. If a topic...

Great comment! When a certain CNA in our med surg floor complained "these nurses do nothing but just give medications all day!", I was just shaking my head (and rolled my eyes sometimes). And OP complained about nurses being in cellphones all the tim...

OP, if you had a chance to read several threads of students about NCLEX at this site, some students passed at 75, some failed at 75. Some passed at 265, some failed at 265. So you're chance maybe 50/50. Our state don't give result through email, I ...

I graduated from one of the top nursing schools in our state. Our school used ATI throughout nursing school. I took a month vacation after graduation. Then signed up for Kaplan. Studied for 1 month. Assess my weak areas in Kaplan then used ATI to pra...

I was not sure on the "Associate" argument either, until I read this article: Difference Between an Associate & a Staff Level Job | Chron.com The article states that the term ASSOCIATE "meanings vary considerably, depending on which industry or ...

Where is the OP? He's not responding anymore. I'm wondering if he is still reading this thread.

Oh ok...

Hi dhwani. I did not do PVT because it did not work for some students, so I thought it's not 100% accurate. I just waited for Quick Results instead. Hope you were able to distract yourself during the 48-hour wait! By the way, did you pass?

Hello Karmen, the NCLEX that I took in my post is NCLEX-RN. But to answer your question, you can click this link: https://www.ncsbn.org/2014_PN_TestPlan.pdf Wish you the best!

LOL. Watched the video many times! Too funny!!

bete-noire, if you think that LinkedIn will invade your privacy and your privacy is very important to you, then by all means... don't do it.

Very smart!

Hello Arianiy. I'm sorry to hear you failed NCLEX 2 weeks ago. You must be feeling really sad and frustrated. But you were asking me good questions! It means you are not giving up and still ready to fight *two thumbs up* I study for averagely 7-9 hrs...

You nailed it!!!

If you could read the post again, OP was not asking about good answers to throw in during job interviews. His question was: "Are there any jobs that would be suitable that would be in a relatively decent environment and have a combination of office ...
