   Like previous poster we can't bolus from bag. I usually disconnect and do it directly into vein. I have also done it Y site and pinched above and flushed.

2. No More ED Report?

   HouTxNurse832 replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Med-Surg

   Wow that sucks. Honestly at my facility the ED might as well not give report b/c they are horrible and give inaccurate information all the time. For example, I've gotten things in report from pt's BP was 125/64....15 mins later upon the pt entering ...

3. New Nurse

   HouTxNurse832 replied to GOBLUENURSE's topic in New Nurse

   Well I graduated in May and work on an extremely busy Med Surg unit with 5-6 patients/shift 7am-7pm. I would suggest what's called a brain sheet to organize your day. Everyone has different techniques. I usually use the print out the Charge RN prints...

7. Prairie View Fall 2013 Applicants

   HouTxNurse832 replied to lalacb123's topic in Texas

   I just graduated from PV in May. It really is a great program. It has it's drawbacks like any school, but it obviously prepared me b/c I just passed my NCLEX on the first try last week :)

8. has anyone used Hesi.com for Exit hesi

   HouTxNurse832 replied to skl2013's topic in HESI

   Not sure if you saw the other post. But how I studied was simply reviewing rationales for both incorrect and correct answers. If I got it incorrect I hand wrote the rationale on a separate piece of paper and would reread it while I took a bubblebath ...

10. Has anyone had nclex test scores go up and down?

    HouTxNurse832 replied to swansonplace's topic in NCLEX

    I honestly didn't have that problem, but then again I studied for NCLEX about 2.5 weeks then took it. However, maybe I can suggest to not use but only one resource for content if you can. At first I started out using Kaplan AND Hurst, but then someth...

11. Kaplan Scores...testing monday 6/24

    HouTxNurse832 replied to MexRnToBe's topic in NCLEX

    I used Kaplan and your scores looked pretty good. Did you review the rationales for qtrainer 7? Those were all passing level NCLEX questions and if you haven't I suggest you review your choices and maybe retake it if you have time :). Other than that...

    HouTxNurse832 replied to Amg2185's topic in HESI

    I saw keep at it how you've been studying. Make sure to read rationales for both CORRECT and INCORRECT choices. I know you don't have much time left, but when I took mines in Jan (scored a 1045 first try) I wrote down the incorrect rationales and stu...
