   Cheer4WVU replied to Bluebolt's topic in Travel

   I heard it was, too, but it only took 9 days. South Carolina is a walk through and it took over 4 weeks for me to get that one.

   Cheer4WVU posted a topic in NCLEX

   I just took the NCLEX. I got done at around 1:50. It took me the entire time to finish. I thought after 75 it would shut off because I was pretty confident in my answers. Then, I got to question 100, then 120, then 160, then 200, then answered 265 wi...

11. What regions have the best nursing job opportunities since the economic recession?

    Cheer4WVU replied to shewalke's topic in General Nursing

    I would say big cities. I live in West Virginia and nurses start out making only 20 dollars an hour here, and Huntington WV is the most obese city in the country right now, lol. I've seen much higher starting salaries for other states.

    Cheer4WVU replied to luckynurse_1234's topic in Student Assist

    Well, I'll be honest with you. It sucks and it's not going to get any better for a while, lol. The best thing you can do is study the skills that you may have to perform, and go to sim lab to practice (if your school lets you) as much as you can. We ...

    Cheer4WVU replied to Cheer4WVU's topic in Student Assist

    Thank you both very, very much for your in depth answers- things are much clearer now! I actually went in and saw the patient today and the reason his blood pressure has shot down so much is because he is having some internal bleeding. They don't rea...

    I was preplanning today and my patient's blood pressure went way, way down. It was 77/49 before I left. We have to choose 3 nursing diagnoses. I chose Decreased Cardiac output due to the blood pressure. I'm lost when it comes to a goal, though. My te...
