1. Med passing

   If something happened again, I would remind the RN what I was or was not allowed to do. If it persisted, then you would have no option but to go to you instructor or adjunct. This is what they are there for. Remember, this appplies to you and what ...

   Yes, a risk for nursing diagnosis could be appropriate.

3. O2 is 81, what shoud you do?

   vballmanrn replied to victorsunshine's topic in Neuro

   I would be careful how you answer this question. If the pt has increased ICP or a dissection you don't want them to cough. You want to carefully assess them and find out the cause of the hypoxia. You definitely want to get the O2 back on a neuro p...

   In our program, educational diagnoses had to have regarding and related to factors in them. So it would say: Ineffective health maintenance r/t deficient knowledge regarding precautions and self-care following surgery. For psycho-social: Anticipator...

5. Was Waived on Pre req's

   vballmanrn replied to mkwvb4's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't be overwhelmed. Your English looks fine and since you have a four year degree your math should be fine. Nursing math is not that difficult. Everything is a calculation or a conversion, so it's not bad. Once you memorize the different formul...

6. Looking for school's

   vballmanrn replied to Nc_lad's topic in Male Students

   I really don't know of a school that does not require some sort of placement exam, be it the SAT, ACT, or Nuring Pre-Entrance Exam. More than likely you will have to take one or a combinatioin of the above. I also would not settle for a cheesy, non...

10. Is there any chance that I can not be licensed even I pass the NCLEX?

    vballmanrn replied to licenselicense's topic in NCLEX

    Ok, thanks for clearing that up. That would really be a shame to go through nursing school and the NCLEX and not be licensed. I guess if you have a questionable past, it is best to get approval from the local state board before starting nursing sch...

11. Is there any chance that I can not be licensed even I pass the NCLEX?

    vballmanrn replied to licenselicense's topic in NCLEX

    Hmm...I've heard in the past that some states, Washington to be exact, didn't do background checks out of state. They only did it on in state criminal records. They were recently called on it and now they run everyone through the national data bank. ...

12. Is there any chance that I can not be licensed even I pass the NCLEX?

    vballmanrn replied to licenselicense's topic in NCLEX

    I've never heard of that. From my understanding, Pearson-Vue sends the board either a pass or fail result. They don't give specifics. Usually a state won't give Pearson-Vue the OK to send you an ATT if you don't meet their requirements. You passe...

    vballmanrn replied to dabmtcuRN's topic in NCLEX

    Good luck on Friday!!! If you believe you are ready, then you should do fine. Just don't freak out during or after the test because you didn't know everything. It's a natural occurance after NCLEX to feel that way. Must of us felt that way and no...
