  1. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    NurseJamillah replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Were you working day shift? I just completed my 1st year of nursing on a busy med-surg (mostly surgical) unit, and we were required to rotate off-shift, as needed. Although it would have been...

  2. Bleach wipes

    NurseJamillah replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've never been fired/reported, however, when I was in nursing school, I had intense cravings for the smell of certain cleaning products, including hand sanitizer. It turned out that I was extremely...

  3. Clinical

    NurseJamillah replied to nursingstudent501235's topic in General Students

    My 1st semester, 1st clinical, I had a clinical instructor like this. She never answered my questions, never helped when I asked for assistance, and constantly told me that she didn't think I would...

  4. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    NurseJamillah replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    We started (and stopped) watching "The Night Shift" this week. It is so bad. One doctor sanitized his gloves, they had a patient who they (loudly) referred to as "the junkie", another doctor takes...

  5. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    NurseJamillah replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Never noticed! Now I'll have to keep an eye

  6. What city do you work in and how much do you get paid hourly?

    NurseJamillah replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    60 miles south of Boston. New grad hospital pay was $28/hr, I believe the union contract includes an evening diff of $3/hr and overnight is $4.50/hr. Weekend differential is approximately $1.50/hr....

  7. Miserable New Grad

    NurseJamillah replied to PippyM's topic in General Nursing

    I was feeling like that at 6 months, also. Can you take some time off to have a mental health break? It might not work for everyone, but it helped me a little. I spent a lot of time asking myself what...

  8. BSN but not a nurse

    NurseJamillah replied to PirateArrrNnnn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I understand both sides of what you are saying, OP. If she didn't work in a clinical setting, around patients, I would think it would be acceptable. For instance, if she worked as a writer, or in...

  9. Massachusetts School Nursing & DESE

    NurseJamillah replied to NurseJamillah's topic in School

    I had today off and I started looking into these. I agree, the partial hospitalization program looks like it would prepare me better than being a school nurse. Thank you so much! I am so excited! More...

  10. Massachusetts School Nursing & DESE

    NurseJamillah posted a topic in School

    Hi, I am a new grad nurse (graduated July 2018), writing this in June 2019. My terminal goal is to be a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, with a focus on adolescent mental health. I...

  11. Massachusetts School Nursing & DESE

    NurseJamillah replied to NurseJamillah's topic in School

    Thank you for the detailed response! I am on Cape, and we seem to be saturated in so many areas! If I do go the pmhnp route, I have 7 years to complete the degree, and I wouldn't start that until Jan...

  12. Ask Me If I'm Safe At Home

    NurseJamillah replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing,

  13. Ok to apply for transfer while on LOA?

    NurseJamillah posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hi, I am a new grad, currently working 1st shift on a busy surgical floor of a hospital, that is in a hospital group with other hospitals. I am also in school for my BSN, full-time, and I graduate in...

  14. New grad nurse needs help giving report

    NurseJamillah replied to zbar's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse and I used to be horrible at report. I second what HomeBound suggested. Brain sheet! I actually get compliments now sometimes. When I get report from ER I also like to know if meds...

  15. Ok to apply for transfer while on LOA?

    NurseJamillah replied to NurseJamillah's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hi, we actually did not have a commitment requirement. I just want to stay for the experience, because I like the hospital group, and my retirement contribution will be matched. It was my first choice...

  16. Ok to apply for transfer while on LOA?

    NurseJamillah replied to NurseJamillah's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thank you! I don't think I will get it, because they usually respond within a couple of days. I really want to stay on medsurg for at least a year, for the experience, but I am considering...

  18. 47 and Graduation TODAY!

    NurseJamillah replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!!

  19. What's the funniest nursing superstition you've ever heard? Do you believe it?

    NurseJamillah replied to guest1048932's topic in Nursing Humor

    So true. I often have to try a second attempt when I don't have enough IV

  20. What if/Is it possible?

    NurseJamillah replied to CollegeStudStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I would say no. I guess it all depends on what questions you get, as well. When I took the NCLEX-RN, there were only a small handful of answers that I "knew" from lecture/reading. The rest, I guessed...

  21. How do you feel about B's?

    NurseJamillah replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    I say aim for understanding, but also don't be complacent with your grades. I was an A-B student throughout my program, and then during our last semester I got a 60 something on an exam that I studied...

  22. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    NurseJamillah replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    I was going to type out a response, but this is almost exactly what I was going to say! I did well in nursing school, but I would have done even better if I had known these things at the beginning of...

  23. Student Nurse Social Awkwardness

    NurseJamillah replied to SNgirl21's topic in General Students

    If you have any electives to fill, speech class helped me. If you are somewhat of a perfectionist, like me, I notice that I stumble on my words more if I begin to doubt my knowledge/memory of a...

  24. grammer help for nursing student

    NurseJamillah replied to blenderbottle's topic in General Students

    Is English your native language? If not, sometimes public libraries offer free ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. Also, there are a lot of free resources online for ESL

  25. Please help

    NurseJamillah replied to anonymousavaca's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll tell you the benefits of the route I'm taking (RN-BSN-NP). I did a ASN program to get my RN and now I'm enrolled in a BSN program. The ASN option was cheaper for me because I couldn't get...
