    toomanypants posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Hi PICU nurses, I just had a video interview for a critical care position for new graduate RNs at a children's hospital. I was presented with a scenario, which I suspected was coming. I, however,...

    toomanypants replied to toomanypants's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Thank you for that NotReady. I am still suffering embarrassment, since I feel like my answers were a little nonlinear and perhaps not comprehensive. But I was able to articulate most components of the...

    toomanypants replied to monseolmos's topic in Nursing Career

    I just had my Skype interview for critical care. I feel like I failed the scenario questions! Ugh there was really no way to prepare for it. Mine wasn't a case study really. She gave me a patient...

    Made a child with cancer cry.

    toomanypants replied to Girlafraid13's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I agree with everyone above about the need for continued discipline and boundaries despite illness. I also agree that asserting rules, like you did, is absolutely appropriate. I'm curious, though, if...

    toomanypants replied to ms.simone's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was getting really sad about not getting an e-mail, BUT I JUST GOT MINE. I will be interviewing for the CV ICU, which is at once scary and exciting. I chose CV ICU as a second choice, because I...

    I just get a sinking feeling occasionally when I picture them sitting in a darkened room, watching my video, rewinding it and laughing. Ugh. The

    toomanypants replied to ms.simone's topic in Texas Nursing

    No I haven't heard anything either. I am also a little nervous, but the recruiter who called me explained that available dates for me would be March 15-16. I'm wondering if that's because I need to...

    How well should a new second semester nursing student know medications?

    toomanypants replied to ns808's topic in General Students

    As a nursing student, I definitely did not know my meds by heart. I took pharm while I was in med/surg. It would be silly to be expected to just know your meds. You are expected to look them up...

    Has anyone used UWorld to study for NCLEX?

    toomanypants replied to Lupe Sanchez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To answer you more specifically, I suggest reviewing rationales for every single question, right or wrong. I would look up topics in my books and online. It helped map it in my mind. Do make sure you...

    Hi! I just took the NCLEX RN a few days ago. I won't be able to say if you should stick with one or the other, since I did both and am hopeful I passed (75 passing level, very hard questions). Who...
