1. What is the next step to getting certified?

   boojeboy posted a topic in Wound

   I've been out of clinical practice for about one year and have been working as a telecare RN in support of hospice patients. It is very low stress, the pay is great, and I have guaranteed lunch breaks that I am actually able to make, but I know it i...

2. Where Do I Go From Here?

   boojeboy replied to boojeboy's topic in Career Support

   Thank you all for the advice and the support. I'm still in the process of trying to find another healthcare job. I had to take a long hiatus as a nurse since late February (here it is June) due to work stress, relationship stress, home problems, an...

3. Where Do I Go From Here?

   boojeboy posted a topic in Career Support

   I recently graduated with my BSN back in 2014 and have worked about 14 months as an RN doing med-surg/telemetry work. I've lost two jobs due to my attendance in that time and am currently unemployed. I have a lot of issues with anxiety, PTSD and dep...

4. Diabetic Nurse Educator Work life?

   boojeboy posted a topic in Career Support

   I'm a new BSN-RN grad who is 34 and came to nursing as a second career after the military. Currently I work on an incredibly busy med-surg/oncology unit that basically functions as a TCU in actual acuity. We get a lot of stroke patients, recent str...

5. Test Prep Question on Oxytocin

   boojeboy posted a topic in NCLEX

   So I've been studying for my second attempt on the NCLEX-RN, and came across a practice question that I missed: The nurse prepares oxytocin for the client. Which supplies will the nurse need to prepare the prescribed oxytocin solution? This was a se...

6. So I Failed the NCLEX-RN

   boojeboy replied to boojeboy's topic in NCLEX

   I received my CPR report and I was "near the passing standard" on everything. All I can think to do is just do more Kaplan practice tests and try to use that "decision tree" thing. Thoughts? Advice? Thank you.

7. So I Failed the NCLEX-RN

   boojeboy replied to boojeboy's topic in NCLEX

   So what and/or how am I supposed to study for this thing? I still haven't gotten my detailed report in the mail yet (I took the exam on 7/24) but from reading one of the Kaplan books I have the fact that I answered so many questions shows that I kno...

8. So I Failed the NCLEX-RN

   boojeboy replied to boojeboy's topic in NCLEX

   I studied so hard for this exam and about 90% of it wasn't on the test. Didn't have a single math question. Nothing about much of anything that you would think a nurse should know, like when to administer nitro, dig toxicity, anything along those l...

9. So I Failed the NCLEX-RN

   boojeboy posted a topic in NCLEX

   I recently took the NCLEX-RN exam for the first time and just paid the $8.00 to Pearson to find out my unofficial results. Looks like I failed. I'm honestly pretty devastated. I studied my butt off for this exam, doing the stupid Kaplan on-line pra...
