    Effective April 2014

    It's not so much that the questions will be more difficult. They just changed the NCLEX-RN in 2013. They always change it. There will be different styles of questions. If it is anything like NCLEX-RN, it will be SATA, Hot spot, fill in the blank (dos...

    Informed Consent

    I was told that the nurse should be the witness, but only witness if the patient understands the procedure. If they don't understand, it is the physician's responsibility to teach the patient about the procedure. I don't have a source or text, this i...

    I Passed! My story...

    I didn't read Saunders very much. I only did Endocrine, Cardiac, Respiratory, and Renal. I didn't do any questions since I had Kaplan.

    I Passed! My story...

    Hey y'all! I want to share my story with you to possibly make you aware of certain things that I didn't know and maybe even bring some comfort to you. I took my NCLEX yesterday morning at 0800. I woke up 30 minutes before my alarm went off because I ...

    Endocrine

    This just made me think of another way to remember. You can always think of Cushings like a "cushion," which is squishy and fat.

    Can someone please explain what PVT mean R/T NCLEX

    It stands for Pearson Vue Trick. Basically, if you take your NCLEX and try to re-register for it through Pearson, if you get a pop up saying "Our records indicate that you have a scheduled exam already," then you passed. If you are sent through on to...

    Clinicals, really not prep for real world?

    I'm sorry you haven't had a lot of experience. My friend just graduated from a BSN program and said that she wasn't allowed to do anything but baths and changing linens. I think it's crazy how different some programs are compared to others. I am in a...

    Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    Thank you so much for posting these! I will be using them to study for my Pharmacology HESI at the end of this semester. For some reason, we didn't take the Pharm HESI at the end of the pharm class and I need a refresher.

    Sterile Gloving Procedure

    Yes! Don1984 put a video link of exactly what I was trying to say!

    Sterile Gloving Procedure

    We were taught not to touch the folded-over part of the cuff once our other glove was on. It doesn't make sense since it is technically sterile, but my instructor said it was unsterile because that is the part that touches your skin? IDK. But how we ...

    Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    Actually, nursing began in about 250 B.C. I obviously don't know what their rituals or anything entailed after they became nurses, but either way, what I meant was that nursing has been around for a very long time, all of which had some sort of tradi...

    Losing respect for nursing students

    I don't believe all "fresh out of high school" or young people should be grouped together as lazy and wanting everything handed to them. I am 21 years old. I am about to start my fourth semester (out of five). I work very hard for everything. My scho...
