1. License renewal question (Other RNs in CA respond!)

   Inland18mempiree posted a topic in California

   I was given my license in february of this year. The next time I have to renew my license is next year. Is it true that I don't have to take a CE course (30 hours) to renew my license for the 1st time? (this will be my first time renewing). Thanks!

3. What color of suit to purchase for job interview?

   Inland18mempiree replied to krazykev's topic in Men

   For heaven's sakes, DO NOT WEAR A SUIT TO A NURSING INTERVIEW. This is way overboard. Hop yourself on over to Mervyn's and buy a business-like long sleeved (with collar) shirt, some complimentary khakis, and a pair of decent black shoes. But whatev...

6. Help

   Inland18mempiree replied to gradnurse2's topic in NCLEX

   If you mostly had prioritization then that means you were doing quite well! I chose my answer like this 1. airway first (any breathing problems? stridor? hoarseness? tripod-positioning, c/o of breathing, etc) 2. hypovolemia/decreases in LOC. Any t...

7. Guys, how should I handle this?

   Inland18mempiree replied to jov's topic in Male Students

   Is this a 1st semester class? usually this is the time to "get the giggles out". They'll grow out of it (I hope). I'm a guy and I must admit, I was a little immaturre in the beginning. During our first semester our instructor brought in a male mani...

8. HELP! Does this mean i failed?

   No. This does not mean you failed. Good luck.

9. NCLEX Prep: Class or Online?

   Inland18mempiree replied to UCCRN2008's topic in NCLEX

   I'd recommend saving your money by going to Barnes and Noble and buying the Saunders review and studying the CD. I used it and passed with 75 questions

10. NCLEX For 38 minutes

    Inland18mempiree replied to Ramzeneger's topic in NCLEX

    I'm not even sure why you bothered to post this? Who cares? But on a side note, one of my classmates finished the NCLEX in 19 minutes, so there!

11. Help

    Inland18mempiree replied to gradnurse2's topic in NCLEX

    Well, don't give up whatever you do! If anything, having already taken the NCLEX puts you at a advantage because you know the type of wording they go for ;-) I'd recommend doing practice questions (try Suzanne's plan?) and studying the rationales. Pe...

12. Just wanted to let you all know I passed.

    Inland18mempiree posted a topic in NCLEX

    Well, my name was on the California BON this morning! Hooray! Like so many others, I didn't really believe this so I had to call my dad in the room to help me verify. It's a really good feeling knowing that I never have to take the test again - espec...

13. First semester of nursing school...what to expect?

    Inland18mempiree replied to sweetlilme910's topic in General Students

    Someone already mentioned this on here, but be prepared to read a LOT. I mean a LOT. Not only do you have to read it, but you have to study it, sleep with it, and think about it, and memorize it. 95% of exams came from the chapters - and not the lect...

14. Does anyone know how Medication calculation problems are graded on NCLEX?

    Inland18mempiree posted a topic in NCLEX

    I received 2 medication calculations on my NCLEX this past week. Both of them had pounds to kilograms conversions, and neither of them converted to whole numbers, they were all like 25.84578kg (just as example). Does anyone know if there is a "range ...

    Inland18mempiree replied to pirituba's topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX last wednesday and it stopped at 75. I failed. I just know I did. But look on the bright side, at least I can retake it again in only 45 days! :)
