I have been an RN for 10 mos. I was hired with 6 other new grads. The last 2 months or so we have all been taking turns being charge nurse. Basically, when I am charge, I need to know the pertinent info about each pt so when nsg supervisor comes I c...
Do a search on his name (State Senator Raymond Basham, 8th district) and it will direct you to his official website where you can leave a comment. Katie's family received an authoritative resolution certificate ytdy but we are still pushing forward ...

As far as I remember that is what I got when I knew I would be getting my ATT. Did it say pending due to 'passing nclex exam'? If so, then that is the green light. U will receive ur ATT by email within 24 hrs; by snail mail, don't know.
I had a mix of some with brand and some with generic but never both. And if I wasn't sure, I went with the answer that would most likely harm the pt or disrupt their life, ie, noncompliance. Yes, the questions are short and to the point. However, ...
After taking NCLEX u can leave feeling VERY unsure about ur performance because the format is so different. But as the other posters said, the amt of SATA u got doesn't really mean a thing. My friend got 12, I got 3 and we passed with 75Qs.
