   lovendove posted a topic in MICU

   I'm looking for some advice and any/all help would be appreciated. I've completed my year of med/surg and although I have really grown to love my floor and the nurses/staff I work with, I know that my heart really is in the 'code' environment and if ...

    hmmm, maybe it's different here in ny. A coworker of mine was saying her sister had to wait months and was a wreck about it; no one could even ask her about the test without her freaking out over not knowing.

    lovendove posted a topic in NCLEX

    my take on the nclex; totally about critical thinking. You have to know your disease processes but also know how to decipher what they are asking you. Kaplan totally prepared me for that; how to read the question, find out the topic then read the a...
