  1. My husband wakes me up!

    chtzu replied to BabyRN_nights's topic in General Nursing

    I started waking up my mom and brother in the middle of the night. And really early on the weekend. Sounds childish but it was the only way I could get them to understand to leave me alone when I...

  2. Do you get Study Guides before midterms and finals ? my teacher doesnt believe in that 😫

    chtzu replied to mariawong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I got study guides for the lab part of A&P, but for the lecture portion I was on my own. It would've been helpful but you can make it on your own. I never got any study guides in nursing...

  3. How hard is it to find a Mon-Friday day time job as an RN out of school? In Seattle, WA

    chtzu replied to Cruisin1313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a new grad and I work at a cardiologist office, Mon-Fri... 8-4. Let me tell you. The pay is not that great but it's good enough for me for someone who still lives with their mom and doesn't have...

  4. Would it be annoying if I sent another email?

    chtzu replied to chtzu's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for all the wonderful responses. I'm going to be persistent until I at least know the position is filled. I will update if I hear anything

  5. Would it be annoying if I sent another email?

    chtzu posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had an interview back in December with a hospital for new grad residency. She said she would set me up for a second interview with the nurse manager and it would probably be around February. I sent...

  6. Failed Second & Third Exam

    chtzu replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    You gotta find your study style and quick! I struggled a lot also during my first semester and probably had borderline grades all through. Reading the book did nothing for me. I used to type notes...

  7. Interview follow up email

    chtzu posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This might be a bit of a silly question but I'm going to ask it anyway! I'm not quite sure which method is proper in addressing the nurse recruiter. Would it be better to address them by their first...

  8. Hardest class in nursing school

    chtzu replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I don't think any of my classes were "hard", I just think they were a lot of work. Takes time and effort to pass all your classes but I wouldn't say the concepts are difficult to understand. If I had...

  9. Which one is better to take on summer? A&P or Micro?

    chtzu replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Micro in the summer and found it super easy despite the fast pace. I took A&P1 in the fall and 2 in the spring. I personally can't imagine doing either in the summer because of all the...

  10. Starting my last semester, would I be crazy to apply now between break?

    chtzu replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Most of the new grad programs opened up in the middle of my last semester so I'm not even sure there would be much for you to apply to. The PCT is definitely going to help you, though. Most of the...

  11. To tell or not to tell?

    chtzu replied to nursingRN123's topic in General Students

    I used quizlet to study during school and maybe 3-4 questions would pop up on the test. I assumed they were book questions because our professor would give us freebie questions. It doesn't at all mean...

  12. HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    chtzu replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is a person, not a statistic. My god. As a nurse, you need a little more compassion. You don't know the situation enough to straight out tell someone to give up on their choices. Also, anyone can...

  13. How soon did you test?

    chtzu replied to Hailbop16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated May 13 and tested September 7. I probably would have taken it in August if my ATT hadn't got lost and had to be resent. One thing that I heard from a lot of new graduates was that they...

  14. HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    chtzu replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't believe in "signs." I also don't know their story to judge them. Even if I did, I still wouldn't judge them. If they want to continue, it's their

  15. HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    chtzu replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There's definitely some content issues here. What was the pass rate at your school like? You don't have to tell us what your situation is.. but are you really putting the time and effort into...

  16. I think I don't want to be a Nurse anymore.

    chtzu replied to guest723's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, pre-reqs were harder than nursing school. Once you master NCLEX style questions, the rest of it is a breeze. If you work as hard as you're saying, you should be fine. Unless, this isn't...

  17. Made a boo boo in accepting a job offer

    chtzu replied to chtzu's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Haha, sorry for the late update! I finally did corner the manager and asked and the paid isn't great but it'll do for now. It covers my loans which was my biggest worry. And the experience as been...

  18. Made a boo boo in accepting a job offer

    chtzu posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So after two months of searching and interviews, I finally got a job offer today over the phone and quickly accepted in the excitement (it's also a job that I'd enjoy in my area of interest) But in...

  19. Made a boo boo in accepting a job offer

    chtzu replied to chtzu's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I totally get where you guys are coming from but I started today and still don't know my salary nor was a contract presented to me/or spoken about because the doctor that hired me wasn't there. I...

  20. living situation while in nursing school

    chtzu replied to sameishafate's topic in General Nursing

    If your mom is supportive and everything is good between the two of you, live with your mom and take the part time job (the experience looks wonderful on your resume.) I lived in a dorm my first two...

  21. Is this ethical?

    chtzu replied to pumpkinspice's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on how many naps. I think one is okay. But if too long/frequent, they'd stay up at night and could develop sleeping

  22. During Clinicals, What Were You Afraid Of?

    chtzu replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    Probably psych because we had to sit among the patients and while some of them were honestly fine, others had erratic behavior that made me nervous. The nurse was the best at keeping them in check......

  23. Unpaid Internship

    chtzu posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So I applied to a hospital position and got an email back asking if I was interested in doing a new grad internship that was unpaid. They said I'd be doing 3-12 hour shifts for 8 weeks (or more) in...

  24. The skeleton test

    chtzu replied to Zachtaylor1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you could go to the lab with a study partner, that was helpful for me! I also watched loads of Youtube videos (there's a doctor that goes over everything) and I took a bunch of online quizzes of 3D...

  25. Of course I would get 265Qs.

    chtzu replied to beckybecks's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got all 265 questions and passed! Be faithful and I wish you the best. :
