    Dreaded wait for ATT

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm honestly not sure but if all of your paperwork was complete, it's probably Pearson. I've got some classmates that are still waiting. I think it also has to do with how early you registered with...

    Dreaded wait for ATT

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wanted to give an update for anyone that reads: my program was verified at 3 PM yesterday and I got my ATT at 5 PM. I'm not sure if this is the case for everyone, but it was for me :). My test is...

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I accepted a job as an ambulatory float pool RN and I'm wondering if anyone else does a similar job and what to expect. I was offered two new grad residencies in critical care and med surg at the...

    PTO not in the budget for remainder of year

    Sbhayes09 replied to galaxygirl17's topic in General Nursing

    To me, this is the same as them saying they can't afford to pay you for days you work. They've run out of money for days that you are guaranteed to have in the agreement. If you lose them if you're...

    15 Minutes in the Life of a Nurse

    Sbhayes09 replied to NurseJulie31's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly why I chose a job outside of the hospital. All clinicals have done for me, is show me why I don't want a hospital bedside job. I'm sure it will still be stressful and chaotic in...

    Suspended for touching a child's head and face

    Sbhayes09 replied to GG66's topic in Emergency

    The only consolation for me, would be that if you told this story to other nurses, most of them would find it ridiculous. Sometimes you just have to take it as a lesson learned and know that your...

    Help me pick!

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for this. I think I've made my decision. I'm going to call about the float position and make sure they'll hold my position until after NCLEX then accept

    Help me pick!

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I'm graduating in December and I have an offer for a nurse residency at our local hospital. It's a one year program that's very prestigious. It's also typical nursing hours (3 12's and some on...

    Help me pick!

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    You're so right, this is what I'm leaning towards and I feel like everyone tells me I'm crazy to go into a float position in doctors offices. I think it sounds wonderful!

    Emailing an old job back

    Sbhayes09 replied to das729's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would actually look better on you to contact after all this time. It lets them know you went out and did what they asked of you

    Quitting my job before my shift starts

    Sbhayes09 replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't think that this is judgemental because it is absolutely not meant to be. I believe that you need to visit your doctor and get treated for this anxiety. I can hear myself in so many of...

    ATI Fundamentals Exam

    Sbhayes09 replied to akgreenberg92's topic in General Students

    We have a proctored ATI exam but it only counts for extra points on our final. Our program doesn't hinge our entire semester performance on one test, thankfully. I'm so sorry you have to go through...

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Students

    Thank you guys for all your input! I probably should have explained better about the choices. We were given a sheet to choose our top three requests. There's no guarantee that we'll get what we choose...

    Help me pick a surgery to observe!!

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Students

    Thank you! It's a very large teaching hospital so we were told to choose a few that interest us and they'd find one for us. We have a great relationship with this hospital so I'm hoping I'm not...

    Help me pick a surgery to observe!!

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Students

    We do not get to do anything of substance but observe. That's enough for me though. Just to be in the room while something like this is happening is a thrill. Thank you for your input
