  1. How much training and work in other areas did it take you to get a job as an ER nurse?

    jaderook01 replied to laschai's topic in Emergency

    I have no opinion on whether or not one should work elsewhere before going to the ED. Personally, I think the answer to that is more case by case dependent. My one piece of advice to you- if you go...

  2. The 5 "W's": Works Every Time!

    jaderook01 replied to showbizrn's topic in Nurses Rock

    OP- I like this. It's true. I am here solely because I want to be. I have kept up my certification from my first career (one from which I occasionally get calls asking me to come back). It...

  3. Will nursing wreck my hands?

    jaderook01 replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    Are you worried that you'll never play the piano again? Seriously though, just keep lotion

  4. Telemetry Nurse

    jaderook01 replied to Snees46's topic in General Nursing

    That can mean so many things. At one local hospital that means that all units are telemetry. For those on the monitors they have one person that checks the monitors for that unit. In my hospital a...

  5. DNP enquiry

    jaderook01 replied to Edisonaidor's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you haven't put in your time, then you will be useless to everyone. Working as a 'qualified RN alone' is necessary to learn how to function and be a nurse. You can't just pop out of school with a...

  6. are ATI's rigged?

    jaderook01 replied to NPPN9's topic in General Students

    As others have said, ATI is not rigged. As someone else suggested, do the ATI practice exams and read the rationales. In fact, when I was a student, our instructors made us take the practice exams....

  7. Preceptor From Hell-Need Advice

    jaderook01 replied to Breycn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP: I think SaltySarcasticSally gave some great advice. While I may be a new nurse, I'm not new to the daily grind of a professional job and dealing with people. While the preceptor in question may...

  8. I quit the PA rat race.

    jaderook01 replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP: Good luck to you in nursing school. I hope you enjoy nursing and that everything works out for you. I also hope you achieve your career goals. You certainly sound motivated, at this

  9. Study Groups or Study Alone ???

    jaderook01 replied to Paola2319's topic in General Students

    You know yourself best. Be confident. I never joined study groups and did quite well in all of my classes. The few times I attempted to do the study group thing, I wound up having to study before...

  10. Should I quit nursing school?

    jaderook01 replied to Guest1005095's topic in General Students

    For what it's worth, I think you made the right decision for yourself. I work with one new nurse that hates her job and is miserable doing it. I'm also new, but I like it. Having made a career...

  11. Is nursing school as bad as they say?

    jaderook01 replied to sarahelaine08's topic in General Students

    Expect things to kick up a notch now that you're done with the prereqs. Yes, it will take up the majority of your time. Yes, you can still manage to work part time. No, you will not have much of a...

  12. I hate night shift

    jaderook01 replied to Kt1109's topic in General Nursing

    I've only been a nurse since June but it got better for me. It took around three months for me to get in the swing of things and adjust. The great part about working nights is that getting the...

  13. Nurses' salaries from a Russian's perspective

    jaderook01 replied to Pasolopi's topic in General Nursing

    I can have as few as three patients and am capped at five patients. I work on an ICU step-down unit. I make around $55,000 a year (US). That's full time, three days a week, twelve hour shifts,...

  14. It's not my job to pray with you.

    jaderook01 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am religious, but I agree with you. I am more than willing to page or call chaplain services for them if they want it. The chaplain's job is to help provide whatever spiritual or religious support...

  15. Seventh Day Adventist and working on Sabbath???

    jaderook01 replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I haven't read this entire thread, but I do work in a Jewish hospital. I know Judaism and Seventh Day Adventism aren't the same, but the views on the sabbath are similar. I've been told that in the...

  16. muslim prayer

    jaderook01 replied to olamuri's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm an Orthodox Christian and we also have more prayers than you can shake a stick at that we should be doing at certain times. The reality is, I can usually only do my full morning and evening...

  17. 265 questions on NCLEX?

    jaderook01 replied to live2bme22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The more I read people's stories in various places, the more I'm convinced that many of those claiming certain things are only having trouble because they are putting in false credit card information...

  18. What ACTUALLY works in nursing school

    jaderook01 replied to Valcorie34's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    OP: This, so much! Studies have actually shown that handwriting notes works better for retention than typing them. I have also found this to be true for

  19. Person Vue Trick-It was wrong for me. June 2016

    jaderook01 replied to Britt_RN2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So, FYI, when you put in a credit card number (even when you do something as benign as putting/swiping your credit card through the machine at a gas pump) it will 'hold' the card information to verify...

  20. NCLEX Tips anyone?

    jaderook01 replied to futurenurse16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Saunders is a great resource. I used a lot of their questions as a way to study/review content. While the questions themselves are not difficult and rather straightforward, the rationales are...

  21. Can I pass NCLEX with these Hurst Q review scores?????

    jaderook01 replied to ChristineNguyen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know if you can pass with those scores or not. The question is if you know the material. I did the Hurst Review, as well. I scored 67, 63, 65, 73, 70, and 71 and passed the NCLEX in 75...
