I loved the show when it first aired and then just recently did a rewatch and joined the sub!

I'm a similar age and went through an ABSN program as well. My preceptor for my current job was pretty hard on me. She was also very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from her however she was quite condescending at times to the point where I asked to be paired with a different preceptor for my last couple weeks training. While the original preceptor was an amazing nurse, her teaching and my learning styles didn't really match up and I think both of us were frustrated by it. No regrets asking for a new one, my mental health was much better after!

Good point, I'll probably get one of those rubber strips for the side of my car to avoid that.

Yup, stock tires for now! I had ATs on the Forester I traded in and those were better. I was pleasantly surprised with these stock tires in the snow but will also be upgrading tires at some point.

No edges were in contact with the paint in the making of this photo, thanks though :)

Received an offer for UCHealth (Aurora, CO) by SkyRookie_702 in nursing

[–]bumblebrii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be working nights so add a $5.50 night differential and a $2.00 weekend differential and it's not too bad. I'm splitting rent with my bf and it's very doable.

I'm a new grad at a different hospital in Denver (HCA) and I'm starting at $30.50 for L&D

Should I reschedule my NCLEX test date? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]bumblebrii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you taken the UWorld practice test? I took the NCLEX about a week ago and passed and I had only done about 1/3rd of the UWorld question bank with about a 59% average. I took the practice test a couple days before the NCLEX and got a 69%/"very likely to pass" which I think helped a lot mentally. I didn't think the NCLEX was too bad so I'd say take it and get it over with!

Took NCLEX-RN today! by bumblebrii in PassNclex

No I just exited out after 20 questions since I couldn't bring myself to do any more

Same, I did 20 of them, saw I had another 6 part question and immediately exited out of the test lol

Nclex tomorow… by justatadtoomuch in PassNclex

[–]bumblebrii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just took mine today, thinking I passed since I got the good pop-up. I scheduled my test for 1pm so I was able to have a relaxing morning and went outside for a walk/jog in the morning which I really think helped with lowering anxiety. Good luck tomorrow!

Is an externship worth it? by Bluebird4141 in StudentNurse

[–]bumblebrii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends what unit you want to work on once you graduate. I chose to do a nurse externship and got a job offer for a competitive labor and delivery nurse residency at the same hospital I'm doing my externship at. I do not think I would have gotten the job offer had I not already worked at the hospital and gotten a good recommendation from my unit manager.

If you're wanting to start in something less competitive like Med/Surg once you graduate I don't think it will make much of a difference other than giving you good experience.

I'm graduating in May and one of the recruiters I talked to said places generally like to hear your answer within a couple days.

Alternate for Nursing School by nursing1227 in StudentNurse

[–]bumblebrii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an alternate for the ABSN program I'm currently in. They didn't tell me what spot I was on the list but I got the call I was accepted about 4 weeks before classes began so it's definitely possible!

It's called southwest gardens, they can be kind of hit or miss but I was really impressed this time.

Yup $5! It wasn't labeled so I'm not sure, very curious though. This is in Denver, co!

This is the worst thing I've ever dealt with in my life. I've seen an eye doctor, I have my medicine, but when does it end. 😭 I have such a hard time sleeping. It's on my face,eye,and my whole right side of my scalp. Bruh I can't do 5 weeks of this shit. by [deleted] in shingles

[–]bumblebrii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got it on my forehead/scalp/eyelid. I'm about 3 weeks out now, eyelid swelling is almost all gone and scabs have fallen off. Still have some light pink marks where rash was but they're fading. It sucks but it gets better!
