I will be traveling there soon to work on their COVID med/surg unit but I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about them. They’re an HCA/magnet status hospital.

So no one is going to Simmons? ??

Well this isn't direct entry. It's the RN-MSN online FNP program.

I'm trying to get into Nursing@Simmons. I called my advisor today and asked for an update. She said she didn't know yet BUTTT she asked me that if I got accepted would I have the $650 ready. I of course stated yes. Hopefully that's a good sign!

Anyone?

Greetings! I've applied to Simmons last week and wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat. Also what was your GPA and did you write an optional statement? Hopefully we all are accepted! I applied for full-time but I'm a new grad, hopefully they don't hold that against me because by the time I graduate, I'll have 2 years of experience. ? Anywho, leave your application experience below and how long it took to get the decision.

Anyone??

Hello everyone, I've been hired on a medsurg floor that population is mostly 50-70 yrs old and has a lot of post op lumbar/cervical care. Has anyone worked on a floor that solely had these types of patients or dealt with patients like this? Please give me your take on it and your typical day.

New grad here. Just found out I passed NCLEX a couple of days ago. Before graduating, I applied to the small hospital in my rural area and was offered two positions (one ICU and one nursery). I really wanted the nursery position BUT since I will eventually end up in psych, I thought that maybe ICU would be a better fit since I will have alot of clinical experience afterwards. Now it's 4 hours before I start my first orientation shift and I'm sort of regretting it. Should I tell my manager? The Labor and Delivery position is still open and before I waste their resources, I would like to tell someone. But I'm scared of what they will think of me. Another reason why I decided to go the ICU route was because the human resources manager said the census would sometimes be low for nursery. Please help. ?

Update: I passed NCLEX in 75 questions in an hour and 20 minutes. UWorld is the best resource I could've ever used.

I'm using UWORLD. Thank you!

Hello guys, I will take the NCLEX this week and I've been doing UWORLD, I've did maybe 1100 questions but I don't feel like anything is sticking. I actually have an amazing NCLEX tips guide from Reddit, I put it below. I will study it the two days before NCLEX. Anyone out there that's taken the NCLEX after feeling like this? I have 900 questions left. I'm only now going to go over Pharm and Prioritization because those are my areas that I need to brush up on. I'm also going to go back and read Endocrine, Cardiac, Respiratory, and Neuro notes that I highlighted in UWORLD. I was going to do the Prioritization, Delegation, Assignment book but I literally can't do anymore questions outside of UWORLD. At this point it's my only resource. It's pretty good with prioritizing, rationales etc... I've been only study for one week btw. NCLEX TIPS.pdf

Wow. Crazy
