  1. IV pushes

    I personally, don't see myself ever being lax with drug administration. But so many times in clinical, and sometimes even instructors, would tell us that "that's how the book says to do it, but it's not done that way in practice". Which leaves the q...
  2. IV pushes

    I'm so glad that the responses confirmed my initial thoughts. I've only been a nurse for a week, but I read the OP thinking "OMG, s/he's going to kill someone..." Glad to know that not all nursing school knowledge is useless! It is hard to know t...
  3. Passed with Few Sata

    I had pretty much the same experience as you! Anyone wanting to know what to focus on, priority is a big one. 80% of my test was focused on that. Congrats! Passing NCLEX is the most amazing feeling! =D
  4. WHo is using Lippincott's NCLEX-RN PassPoint?

    OK. So I took NCLEX yesterday and confirmed I passed this morning....don't use this program!!!! Questions are WAY too easy compared with NCLEX. This program could easily give someone a false since of security and then they'll be shocked once they s...
  5. Debunking the SATA Myth.

    My SATA were pretty mild compared to what I had on tests in school. The priority is what was incredibly difficult, and I'm usually really good at them. The ones on NCLEX were way harder than what I'd had in school. Having to pick who to see first wh...
  6. Debunking the SATA Myth.

    Took my Nclex yesterday. 130 questions of pure hell. Only about 10 of those were SATA. I walked out believing I failed because I didn't have enough SATA. Did PVT, got good pop up, but still wouldn't believe I passed until this morning when the FL B...
  7. WHo is using Lippincott's NCLEX-RN PassPoint?

    Last two Practice NCLEX tests I took on there gave me level 8 in all categories. Still seems way easier than questions I've seen with other programs. Just scared it's going to give me a false since of security going into NCLEX. But thank you for y...
  8. The most annoying student

    While I hear what you're saying, I'm still not seeing why public humiliation was necessary. Why not dismiss him from clinical? Why not fail him for unsafe practice? These are all standard rules of being in a nursing program. As said, surely this ha...
  9. Care Plan Help

    Also, they can't be "overloaded with fluid" and have a fluid volume deficit as you suggest. Look at your labs and determine which it is. Nursing diagnoses aren't as difficult as people sometimes make them. A few rules- -Don't use a medical diagno...
  10. Care Plan Help

    Risk for impaired skin integrity RT immobility is all you need. You could say RT traction and immobility if you wanted. No AEB, because it's a risk. There are actually a lot of diagnosis possible with this pt. How long have you been in nursing scho...
  11. WHo is using Lippincott's NCLEX-RN PassPoint?

    I'm really happy to hear that. I just took the NCLEX practice test on there and got all 7&8s I expected the questions to be way harder than they were. Do you feel this is a good NCLEX pass predictor?
  12. NCLEX-RN Repeat test takers (2014)

    I'd already told everyone I will not say when my test is scheduled, exactly for the reason you posted. I didn't want the added pressure. I'm glad you passed, I hope I do too! CONGRATS! =)
  13. You aren't a "bad nurse", you aren't a nurse at all. You were just studying to be one. I admire your persistence. Whatever you do, remember that while you might not consider your GPA to be important, the school/program will. There are schools that ...
  14. Tidewater Community College 2013 hopefuls

    Hesi entrance exam, most everyone in my cohort (we graduated in OCT) have scores in the 90's and A's on all the sciences. And actually, I'm pretty sure they are going to a 4 semester program instead of the 18 month setup we just finished. So if tha...
  15. I agree with RNsRWE. Unless you had a major life event, no REPUTABLE school will let you in. It's standard knowledge when you go into an RN program. You fail twice, and you're out. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. You have to see what the adm...
