1. A REAL Nurse

   itybits replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   Real Nurses come in all types/areas of concentration. It sounds like your sister would behave this way no matter what her degree & work experience. A person who needs to flaunt her power and belittle those who are doing their job to make herself ...

2. how do you give morphine on a pump bedside?

   itybits replied to ivy2009's topic in General Nursing

   Our PCA pumps also have the capability to provide a continous basal rate-just like a drip.

3. does age REALLY matter?

   itybits replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

   Wahdidah- :offtopic: I'm curious, are you ready for a change? Do you have opportunities for that or do you see yourself sticking it out for 10 more years where you're at? I'm wondering what choices do you have in nursing after having such experience?

   Good for you nontradstudent! I don't think anyone that read the original post would give it any consideration except that it speaks worlds about the lack of wisdom of the writer.

6. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

   itybits replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX

   There's no way of knowing-remember there are 15 test questions that are not graded and I think a drag & drop can very likely be one of those. I know its so excruciating to wait for the results but try to keep in mind that it is much more likely t...

7. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

   itybits replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX

   I felt so anxious after my NCLEX, too. I passed with 75 questions. What helped me was a thread on here that discusses why people feel so bad after the test even though they passed. I think it is under "waiting on NCLEX results? Read here first." I fe...

8. DID anyone try LEARNINGEXT.COM

   itybits replied to Michelle Davis's topic in NCLEX

   I used learningext.com for about1.5 weeks-abandoned it about halfway through. I didn't like the outline format and I found many typos and a few inaccuracies (like saying hypo when it was hyper) which infuriated me-I felt like-how do I know if they ar...

9. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

   itybits replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX

   NCLEX-RN Turned off at 75 and I went numb. Felt horrible, but I passed after all! I studied the Kaplan book-felt it was pretty good but not enough questions to only use that for study. I used the Q&A saunders book (2nd ed) and the cd from the 3rd...

10. Things to do while awaiting NCLEX results

    itybits replied to prmenrs's topic in NCLEX

    Thousands of sit-ups to lose the muffin top I acquired in nursing school watch my son's baseball game (yelling "way to wheel, way to wheel!" and " Good eye-good eye" can be very therapeutic) talk to my kids talk to my husband vow not to tell my mom h...

11. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    itybits replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX

    I am so comforted by this thread. Thank you all for sharing your concerns because I feel a little better that I am not the only one who feels like a complete idiot after taking the NCLEX. Mine shut off after 75 questions-a lot of select all that appl...
