1. SPC Spring 2013, I got in, now what?!

   ounsrey replied to ccd06kw's topic in Florida

   They will give you a packet detailing what needs to be done. I think I got mine during orientation. It will not hurt to renew your CPR because they will need copies anyways. Get that out of the way before school starts. Wait until they tell you what ...

2. Discouraged Student Nurse looking for wisdom!

   ounsrey replied to PNicholas's topic in Pediatric

   You'll be surprised by how many nurses out there in higher positions with an ADN. Is that grad program highly competitive? Does it require BSN? I would suggest applying. It doesn't hurt. Taking BSN classes and being in that program might a little too...

3. Nursing judgment

   ounsrey replied to steve40's topic in General Nursing

   I believe you did the right thing and handled it the way I would have. You called the doctor and informed him of the pts change in condition and followed his orders. Just curious was the patient with hospice care?

4. just want to vent out.... any advise please.... I am worried

   ounsrey replied to momiko's topic in Immigration

   First of all take a deep breath. Many people test positive on their ppd test, some even due to sensitivity as well. You just have to wait until the chest X-ray results. Just make sure you have all the paperwork for your school saying its negative. If...

6. Question from a nursing student

   ounsrey replied to sairybear's topic in General Nursing

   Don't be afraid to ask your nurse questions. You're there to learn and observe, to be hands on. I agree you should first introduce yourself and what your objective is for the day. Ask if she minds a student nurse. Introduce yourself to the tech assi...

   ounsrey replied to salmon7's topic in NCLEX

   Don't give up yet! I was on the same boat as you. I had all 265 questions on my first attempt, took 5 hrs & 40 min, & failed. But I stayed motivated and studied, I passed on the next try with 75 questions! If you read more posts on this websi...

8. Passed 2nd time, I hope this helps for you!

   ounsrey replied to ounsrey's topic in NCLEX

   I hope you enjoy it! :) According to the NCLEX test plan, the pharmacology portion is only 13-19% of the test. Keep in mind that portion includes "therapies" such as TPN/Central line questions too, not just meds alone. Of course you can NOT study all...

9. Kaplan Q trainers!!!! Let me know

   ounsrey replied to mzoptimistic's topic in NCLEX

   I only did Trainers 1-3, my scores were lower than yours and I passed. I really think that just by doing these trainers, you're gaining more practice & that's basically what you really need. Learning the rationales on the ones you got wrong &...

    SSHULER87, Thanks! What's your study plan? You do got a lot on your plate, but I can tell you have a great attitude going. Keep it up. Don't get too stressed out from that pressure. Have a set number of questions to do everyday before you're busy wo...

    Hi! I just wanna first thank everyone on this site. I have been lurking this forum since, even before I started nursing school. The information I gained from here helped me so much with everything! Hopefully my post can help many others too. First t...

    ounsrey replied to Miracleneeded123's topic in NCLEX

    I did mine 30 minutes after. I read some posts where people did right after the test in the car with their phone. I say save you the anxiety & do the trick. GOOD LUCK!

14. Does the Pearson Vue trick work? 911

    ounsrey replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX

    Maybe you should do it again right now. What does it say when you do it, Does it have the good pop up? When you type in the graduation info does it lead you to the credit card page?
