   hjh5673 posted a topic in Career Support

   I just passed the NCLEX and I am starting my job hunt. There is a position that I would LOVE that is about a 2 hour commute each way. I know this sounds crazy but it would give me the experience that I can not find close to me. Is it riduculous to e...

   I also took the test yesterday and had 265. Not feeling very confident about it and tried the PVT but my results are also on hold. I unplugged my computer by accident so not sure if that has something to do with it. How long did you have to wait the ...

   hjh5673 replied to Goblue2224's topic in General Students

   I agree with CNA. It will give you some great experience. The people in my cohort that have worked as a cna seem to have an advantage in school, they understand the medical language better.

6. Nursing School Question

   My suggestion is to read and re-read the ATI book.

9. Meds after pharmacology.

   hjh5673 replied to hjh5673's topic in General Students

   I know it is all about memorization. I guess it is just more of a question of a good way to memorize them. I have a drug guide, I think I need to go through and get the different classes and start memorizing what they do and common drugs.
