  1. Is 28 too old to become a travel nurse?

    jchristine89 posted a topic in Travel

    I'm about to turn 28 years old, I'm very single, and I have a huge passion for travel. I've been feeling so antsy with my life and feel as though I've been a bit stagnant. I've been a med/surg/GI...

  2. Is 28 too old to become a travel nurse?

    jchristine89 replied to jchristine89's topic in Travel

    Yes!! People in my part (conservative West Michigan) get married in their early twenties and are having babies by my age (or younger). In fact, I'm an odd ball in that I haven't married or had kids...

  3. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    jchristine89 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    No way! Patients are in hospital because they are sick. Their bodies aren't functioning "normally" in one way or another. I don't envy that one bit. We take our healthy, normal bodies for granted....

  4. Is 28 too old to become a travel nurse?

    jchristine89 replied to jchristine89's topic in Travel

    Ha... I know I probably sound pathetic to people who are maybe twice my age, but it's still a legitimate question if you look at the fact that I'm getting closer to the end of child-bearing

  5. I need some encouragement?

    jchristine89 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse and I haven't even started my job yet, which is on a GI/GU unit. I will be getting a lot of med/surg experience. Well, I'm honestly terrified. I mean, I'm excited to finally start in...

  6. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    jchristine89 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    So, basically, you believe that new nurses nowadays don't have the same level of a beginner's competency due to making the exam 'easier' to pass? Or, maybe not nowadays, but in years since the NCLEX...

  7. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    jchristine89 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    I recently graduated and my professors said that the NCLEX has changed in recent years. They said the NCLEX people made it tougher as well. That may have something to do with it! How they knew these...

  8. I need some encouragement?

    jchristine89 replied to jchristine89's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your response and advice. I don't mean to sound whiny... I guess it just felt better to express my concerns rather than hold them in. My sister, who is also a nurse, worked on a unit...

  9. New nurse - digestive diseases or progressive care?

    jchristine89 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a brand new nurse with no experience and I've been offered a position both for a progressive care unit and a digestive diseases unit. I would be working night shift for both. As a new nurse, which...

  10. New nurse - digestive diseases or progressive care?

    jchristine89 replied to jchristine89's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! I have actually taken up a position on the GI/GU unit. I think I will get great med/surg experience there, which is precisely what I'm looking for. The progressive unit is quite a bit more...

  14. I only got about six SATA questions?

    jchristine89 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like the SATA questions were fairly easy... The test shut off at 75 questions. Is this a sign that I failed? I had such a hard time focusing because I felt like I really didn't know the answer...

  15. I only got about six SATA questions?

    jchristine89 replied to jchristine89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    @cptforge.gil : I had absolutely no drag and drop questions or diagrams but I did have one easy computation problem. I also had a question where I thought all four answers were incorrect, but I...

    (@optimism08) Thank you very much! I used Hurst Review, but I watched all the videos first while I filled out the booklet that comes with the review. It gave me a strong foundation of all the...

  18. Doubts about being a nurse

    jchristine89 replied to bighead17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can completely relate to this post. I'm glad you spoke up because I, too, have a lot of anxiety over self-doubt and worrying about whether I will make a good nurse. There were many times in nursing...

  20. I only got about six SATA questions?

    jchristine89 replied to jchristine89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you for your reply! That's encouraging to hear, for sure, but I don't want to let myself think I'm just fine to avoid horrible disappointment in case I didn't pass. But that is good to hear.
