   I just took it May 23, there were a ton of questions about evidenced base practice, HIPPA, nursing research. I was expecting more clinical questions, but those were few and far between. BTW I passed.

2. State required sexual aide for longterm care resident.

   lotus32 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   I hate to say it, but sex is on the first rung of Maslow's Hierarchy and this woman very obviously needed some needs met. I can't say I would be comfortable buying a sexual assitive device (is that the proper way to say it?) though. Just when you ...

   lotus32 replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan

   Again, do you get it?, you say you do, but it doesn't seem to be clicking. I'm not saying people should or shouldn't. I just want to let them know what's available. EKG interpretation was covered extensively in our first test. Like I said before, m...

   lotus32 replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan

   You don't get it. I'm not trying to debate whether or not they are worthwhile or not, I'm talking about surviving school, what's the use of trying to look good for an employer, if you don't get through school? I see you've been an RN for 2 years. G...

   lotus32 replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan

    When I was accepted two years ago, they told us in Lottery that they had 100% passage rate. They also had 100% passage rate for the December grads. You can always ask the Nursing Dept. and they'll tell you. We have to take an RN assessment exam, a...
