1. Anyone take the HESI?

   2stush4u replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI

   We had to take the HESI to get our validation papers. The minimum score was a 900 ..luckily I got a 981, but I thought that some of the answers were really off the wall. I really didn't care for the HESI too much. It seems as if the HESI gives points...

4. Tattoo question

   2stush4u replied to choisauce's topic in General Students

   I think it depends on the facility, but I would be prepared to wear long sleeves. I have tattoos too, but they are high up on my deltoid, shoulder and ankle, so I guess I wouldn't be able to wear skirts in some facilities. Check with personnel about ...

   You know what I felt the same way almost 10 yrs ago when I took my NCLEX-PN. I shut off at 95 and I just knew that I failed. Went hope and went through my NCLEX and text books trying to find answers. I just figured oh well, better luck next time..but...

10. Help, can a (CMA-certified medical assistant) Supervise an LVN???

    2stush4u replied to CRIMSON's topic in LPN/LVN

    I would check the your state boards. This person is a medical assistant, what type of "real" training does this individual have over your friend who is a LVN. If anything I think it would be the other way around. I don't know about in your state, but...

    2stush4u replied to chrispicritah's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but what about when administrator have the CEO's breathing down their necks and fussing about the ever so popular budget, then you have nursing complaining about having two nurses w/ 16 pts each on a sub acute floor with three admissions and...

    I know some places in PA don't give you any credit for being a LPN, you are started at a new grad rate. As a LPN in LTC and working for agency in the sub-acute setting, I am actually going to get a pay cut as a RN. Most hosp I have heard of start the...
