8. The Term Physician

   hkRN83 replied to motoluver's topic in NP

   I have been an ICU nurse for almost 7 years and thinking about going back to school to become an NP. I am considering getting my DNP but I will never refer myself as a "doctor" in a practice setting. I will introduce myself to my patients as "Hi, I...

11. Have a question for all nurses.

    hkRN83 replied to tra10's topic in General Nursing

    NO! Don't talk to this nurse directly. You need to write her direct supervisor a letter giving examples of how this nurse is practicing unsafe nursing. It is up to the administration at your facility to decide if they need to talk to her or not. I...

14. which would you pick? kaplan nclex review or martin nursing review?

    hkRN83 replied to rockmed's topic in NCLEX

    Dr Martin reviews all the material that you had in nursing school (especially fundamentals and Med Surg). She also teaches you some test taking strategies. It is definitely the best of both worlds. Good luck to you!

15. Dr. Martin's NCLEX review

    hkRN83 replied to hkRN83's topic in NCLEX

    The review was amazing. She went over just about everything. The handouts that she gave us were very useful for the exam. I just found out a few minutes ago that I passed with 75 questions. Good luck to all of you who are studying for the NCLEX.
