1. Exhausted, need to vent, advice please!

   ricaryx replied to Trubie's topic in Geriatric

   O.M.G. That is NOT right. Welcome to the world of LTC. If the DON doesn't do something about those issues, and you feel that it shouldn't go on any longer, talk to your administrator. If you catch an abuse? Then there's the Ombudsman. You're not ther...

   ricaryx posted a topic in New Nurse

   I graduated last year and has only practiced nursing in a Private-pay Convalescent home for 4 months, on-call, landed a new job at another SNF that has Medicare patients. Boy, it was so different than the private pay LTC, and very strict. I'm not sur...

   ricaryx posted a topic in New Nurse

   Okay, I really need a fellow nurses' input on this. I graduated less than a year ago and landed a job at an assisted living firm. We had a new admission the other day who had an order for Senokot 2 tablets. The resident was "somewhat" deteriorating c...

7. Post traumatic NCLEX syndrome has started....

   ricaryx replied to Bre14's topic in NCLEX

   lol you're exactly the same as me. I called the syndrome Post-Examination Depression, but well, you coined the term waay better than I did. I walked out of the test center feeling okay and got more paranoid and miserable on the way home. I told the p...

8. why they say the REAL NCLEX is not what they expected

   ricaryx replied to bodz01's topic in NCLEX

   From the NCLEX review I attended at school, we kinda got some trivias about NCLEX. It changes every three years, meaning it gets harder with more stuffs integrated into it to stick with the current healthcare trends. If you were to take NCLEX next ye...

9. Hurst Live Review

   ricaryx replied to cassyandra00's topic in NCLEX

   I was skeptical of Hurst at first and I really wanted to do Kaplan since everyone was talking about it, but I ended up going to Hurst because of peer pressure haha (and also because it was cheaper than Kaplan) In the end, I'm glad I did Hurst. Anyway...

11. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    ricaryx replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    I took my test yesterday 7/20. I did the Pearsonvue trick 4 hours after I got home, my appointment status is "Delivery Successful" and it didn't let me. I did it over and over and it still didn't let me. Now it's the next day and I'm so scared to do ...

12. How many SATA ?'s

    ricaryx replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX

    According to Hurst, SATAs are lower level questions, the multiple choice questions are the ones we want to get, but judging from this thread it doesn't seem that way. I wonder which is it really ^^ I just had NCLEX yesterday too. Stopped at 75. I had...

    ricaryx replied to ricaryx's topic in NCLEX

    OMG. Your comments truly made me happy. *hugs ya'll* That made me feel better. I really do think Hurst review is RIGHT ON. Even if I fail, I know I'm not blaming it on Marlene. It's just all me. Her stuff works. It sticks in your head because it mak...

15. Pouring my heart out after taking NCLEX

    ricaryx posted a topic in NCLEX

    This may just be one big of a blab, but I had to vent. So I took NCLEX today in Cali, July 20, 2009 at 12:15 pm but was able to take it 30 minutes earlier. I took Hurst Review, I focused on core content because Marlene Hurst said that the number one ...
