1. How long is too long to wait to work???

   jerseygirl01 replied to henrysgirl72302's topic in New Nurse

   I read your post and I wanted to respond to you for many reasons. As a military spouse I can truly sympathize with everything you are facing with your career. However, I would not wait to start a job as you seem to have realized. Nine months of unemp...

2. G to MG to MCG? Is there a easy way to remember?

   jerseygirl01 replied to amy0123's topic in NCLEX

   The above is incorrect. Grams are larger than milligrams. Milligrams are larger than micrograms. Therefore: mg (milligram) = 1/1000 of a gram and mcg (microgram) = 1/1,000 of a mg In other words: 1 gram=1,000 milligrams. 1,000 milligra...

3. G to MG to MCG? Is there a easy way to remember?

   jerseygirl01 replied to amy0123's topic in NCLEX

   You'll get used to the metric conversion the more you are exposed to it in the hospital setting. Thankfully, in some situations, IV pumps have become safer in order to protect the patient from miscalculations. However, some calculations still need to...

5. "Notify Physician" as answer

   jerseygirl01 replied to merae's topic in NCLEX

   I took the Kaplan review as well and I have to admit that I did not read every word in the book. However, during my review course we did touch on when to notify the physician. Clearly if the situation can be handled by a nurse then the physician does...

6. 130-140 questions and UNSURE

   jerseygirl01 replied to jerseygirl01's topic in NCLEX

   Yes. It took 3 business days to see the results on the California Board of Nursing. The wait drove me crazy, but at least it was posted fairly quickly.

7. 130-140 questions and UNSURE

   jerseygirl01 replied to jerseygirl01's topic in NCLEX

   I passed my NCLEX RN! I looked my name up on the BON this morning. I was so happy (and shocked) when I found out that I was literally short of breath. I feel so relieved now, but I am still trembling. This has certainly been such a long haul. I thank...

8. to all LPN to RN

   jerseygirl01 replied to cmarsh333's topic in NCLEX

   I am not sure to be honest. With my LVN boards I was younger and immediately after I took them I felt that the exam was really easy and I felt confident that I did well. A fellow classmate of mine took the boards with me and felt the same way. Once w...

9. 130-140 questions and UNSURE

   jerseygirl01 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Hello. I have seen very few posts regarding passing or failing within the 130-140 question range. I stopped looking at the screen after question 120. I know the number of questions doesn't matter in comparison to the percentage that are considered to...

10. Why is it so bad to be an LPN ????

    jerseygirl01 replied to hair_tie's topic in LPN/LVN

    To be honest, LPN's/LVN's can have a limited career path as far as choices and some hospitals have few or no LPN's/LVN's at their facilities. I am currently an LVN who has had wonderful experiences and I have been very fortunate. Unfortunately over...
