Our EDT's do most of the suturing unless it is extensive. Then it is done by a MD. I agree with the above post...we don't have time to be in a room suturing for 30 minutes! Sedations are are bad enough!
I ended up passing, but I sure felt like I didn't when I walked out of that testing center! Sheesh! 15 minutes to take 75 questions? Is that even possible? It took me an hour and 15 minutes, but I am a slow test taker.
I just took my nclex yesterday and it shut off at 76. Isn't that sort of an odd number to shut off on? I had 3 calculations, about 4 sata, tons of priority. I think I failed. I started crying the second it shut off because I dont think I got the last...

Thanks so much for the advice! I am done with finals and I even made a 1004 on my HESI! I am so excited. I know that just because I have "passed" the text book part of nursing, that doesn't mean I'll be a good nurse. I want to be the best nurse I can...

An EDT where I work told me about a guy that calls 911 every week, claiming unrelieved chest pain, just to get a ride into town to do his grocery shopping. He leaves the hospital AMA to go to the store nearby. I don't know how he gets back home. :-)

HI! I'm a soon to be new grad who already has two interviews lined up for next week. Does anyone have any interview tips or good questions that I could ask during my interviews? The interviews are in the emergency department and ICU of a children's h...
Hi everyone! I have to do some student teaching on CHF and was wondering if anyone knew of a great website that explains the difference between left and right sided failure. Or, if any of you cardiac nurses can help me out, that will be great! I know...
I agree! I am using Saunder's third edition. I am in my last semester now and have found it very helpful not only in reviewing for the NCLEX but also for my regular exams in class. Also, you may want to buy one of the Saunder's online reviews ( they ...
Hi everyone! I am in my last semester of nursing school (RN) and we will be doing a lot of managing this semester. I am required to do a teaching project for the nursing students who are a year behind me (they are in their second semester). I was ho...

Hi there! Sorry, I don't have any answers to your questions but I will begin my last semester of nursing school after the summer (we have summer off yay!!!) and will, too, be doing my labor and delivery practicum during my last semester. I was wonder...
I agree with the last post. I am doing the same thing. Atleast, if you go ahead and get your Assoc. degree, you can be working while you get your RN to BSN. Plus, you can get it online. I am 29 with 2 kids and am in my last semester of my program. It...
