   Just found out today I passed NCLEX after taking it on Tuesday. I had 75 questions with mainly priority, infection control, 3 select all, some med/surg, and no calculations. I am SO thrilled right now. I'm definately on cloud 9! Thanks for all the en...

   *Renee* replied to jumpwinter's topic in Florida

   Hey Jumpwinter, I actually just graduated from the MCC Nursing program this past May and my husband will also be starting in the fall night program. As far as instructors go, most of them were pretty good...though at night, you may get different tea...

4. Took the dreaded NCLEX this morning....

   *Renee* posted a topic in NCLEX

   It was the worst experience I've ever had! It is SO crappy leaving a test that means so much and having absolutely NO idea if you passed or failed. I felt like I was guessing on about 95% of the questions. I ended up w/ 75 questions total with a mix ...

   *Renee* replied to summersbreeze's topic in New Nurse

   I had my pinning ceremony on May 4th. It was AWESOME! Then, to top it all off, my hubby threw me a suprise graduation party last night...I was shocked!!! It's such a good feeling being *done*! Now, just as long as I pass the NCLEX the 1st time, I'm g...

7. Confused! Not sure what kind of job I want?

   *Renee* replied to debsuztx's topic in New Nurse

   Well, I know it's hard to get into being a school nurse. I would LOVE to do that, but there's just not a demand for that like there is hospital nurses. I'd say, see how the day at the school goes, and if you like it, give it a try. The worst that cou...

8. What to wear to pinning?

   *Renee* posted a topic in New Nurse

   We've been told we have to wear all white to our pinning ceremony in May. The official vote was that we wear "something we could wear to work." So, I'm sorta at a loss about what to actually wear. I went yesterday and bought white "scrub" pants that ...

    Hi everyone, Well, since I'm nearing my graduation date from Nursing school (May 4), I figured it'd be a good time to get my foot in the door at a hospital and start working as a Patient Care Assistant until I get my RN license and can work as a nurs...

12. Does or did anyone feel like this about clinicals?

    *Renee* replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    If you *know* deep down that you're doing a good job as a student and haven't made any major errors, I'm confident your instructor won't fail you. She'll probably end up praising you in the end for your committment and willingness to learn and excel....

13. I need a push~

    *Renee* replied to ejsmom's topic in General Students

    I definately have a case of "Senioritis"! I, too, am in my last semester and feel like it's smooth sailing from here on out.....which makes it so difficult to study at all. I just seems that this semester is "easy" for me for some reason, so I've rea...

14. microbiology for pregnant women

    *Renee* replied to maggijo's topic in General Students

    I was pregnant all during my micro class (I passed while 8 months pregnant). I had no issues in the class and my OB had no problem with me being in there. There was also a girl in there who actually had her baby mid-semester and she was fine as well....

15. 5 rights question

    *Renee* replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    Like truesn said, the dosage of allopurinol is over 300 mgs, it has to be given in divided dose. Therefore, 500mg PO daily isn't specific enough and is incorrect dosage-wise. As for the diltiazem hydrochloride, I didn't see anything in my drug guide ...
