1. Online courses?

   EchoOfThoughts replied to snoopyleader's topic in NCLEX

   Yes, I did! I found it on a rabid, last ditch effort Google search less than a week before my NCLEX. I think it was helpful, I really like it when prep-things give rationales for answers. It does reccomend that you take 80 hours to do the course,...

2. out of state GN

   EchoOfThoughts replied to Duram4's topic in NCLEX

   Yes, it is very easy. Here is the website http://www.op.nysed.gov/nursing.htm I went to school in Alaska and took my NCLEX in Alaska but FOR my New York license. MAKE SURE you get the infection control and child abuse classes (you can do these onlin...

3. Dosage and Calculations

   EchoOfThoughts replied to dramaluvr's topic in General Students

   Wow. This thread made me feel a lot better, as if there are others in my same boat. Our school also has the 100% to pass/three tries to get it math tests. Our first semester test consisted of (I believe it was) fifteen questions each that were ab...

4. Extra pay for certification or degrees?

   EchoOfThoughts replied to Baby Catcher's topic in General Nursing

   By the way... Baby Catcher, you have the coolest assortment of avitars. But I especially love the sleepy little kitten. :)

5. Extra pay for certification or degrees?

   EchoOfThoughts replied to Baby Catcher's topic in General Nursing

   At my hospital ACLS is one of the things a nurse gets points for when being evaluated for a raise.. but it is required. Go figure.

6. A question about clogs

   EchoOfThoughts replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

   When I first read your original post I thought "she could use Reeboks." I have a slightly "off" arch too, and my old Reeboks are the best, most comfortable shoes I ever got. But I hear a lot of people (who, presumably, do NOT have "off" arches) say ...

7. Stupid Test (Rant)

   EchoOfThoughts replied to EchoOfThoughts's topic in General Students

   Wow! That really made sense. Thank you! And thank you all for you kind responses. I know that everyone I have bothered with this has said that I should not complain because I got it right... but whenever I get an answer wrong, I want to know why s...

8. RN license

   EchoOfThoughts replied to Jodylynn's topic in General Nursing

   You can go to school in New York, and even take your test in New York and get your SC license without ever having a New York license, if that is what you want to do. You could get the NY one and transfer, but if you plan to move right away and never ...

9. Stupid Test (Rant)

   EchoOfThoughts posted a topic in General Students

   Today we had our second exam of the semester. The very first question was about the chain of infection: We have been taught that this "chain" is like a cycle that can begin or end at any point. Anyway... The question was (multiple choice) Which of...

11. Black Widows

    EchoOfThoughts replied to Kason's topic in CRNA

    Alice Cooper song... Vincent Price says that part though.

12. Black Widows

    EchoOfThoughts replied to Kason's topic in CRNA

    And here, my prize, the Black Widow. Isn't she lovely?.. and so deadly. Her kiss is fifteen times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake. You see her venom is highly neurotoxic, which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system causing inte...

13. I sure was grossly misinformed!

    EchoOfThoughts replied to klone's topic in General Students

    klone: The NET score is probably only one of of many factors considered. My school used the NET score, gpa, how many pre-reqs you had finished, if you had ever applied before (it gives you more points if you have), if you had applied and been accept...

14. net website too much to ask for?!!

    EchoOfThoughts replied to sillyandiern's topic in General Students

    Horrifying moment while taking my NET: I had finished one of the math sections, and looked up to find that the other students were still working away. So I went through and double-checked all of my answers since I figured I had time. I looked up a...

15. I am clueless right now...

    EchoOfThoughts replied to happystudent's topic in General Students

    Oh! Another idea I am just throwing out there since I really should be in bed by now.... Embroidery will certainly look much nicer and last longer but - you can get the images silk screened onto the scrubs OR, an even cheaper route, they have iron-o...
