1. Asking for help...

   kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in School

   The teacher took up all of their personal supplies that we had to send (crayons, scissors, glue, folders, notebooks, etc.) Dumped them into tubs that the children all access. So, not only is this third grade class all sharing the usual germs from doo...

2. Asking for help...

   kaitsmama posted a topic in School

   First, I want to commend all of you for what you do as school nurses. Second, I want to ask for your help. My daughter's class is using communal supplies. As a nurse, I am nauseated to think that the teacher has chosen to enforce this archaic practic...

3. Lets do this differently for a change.

   kaitsmama replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

   As a recent grad that is currently in orientation I felt the need to reply... I started my orientation with a very young RN that was very happy to share all the gossip about who I could trust and who I couldn't. She informed me that much of the older...

4. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

   kaitsmama replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

   I'm sorry, but a single anecdotal case does not prove that universal health care would be of benefit. In my state, Oklahoma, we have a large population of patients on medicaid that are offered free and total access to preventative care and come to th...

5. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

   kaitsmama replied to ashfost's topic in New Nurse

   It is very highly dependent upon what area you are from and the norm for the hospitals in that area. I know the norm for my area is that BSN trained nurses do not automatically get a salary increase, but it does count as points toward the clinical la...

6. Curious--anyone absolutely confident they passed when walking out of NCLEX?

   kaitsmama replied to darthsunshine's topic in NCLEX

   I can tell you that I felt certain I had failed, and the certain I had passed, then certain I had failed. I really don't think you can tell be the way you feel after you leave. The only person in our class that told me that she was certain she had pa...

   kaitsmama replied to RachelLeeRN's topic in NCLEX

   Sounds about like what I got on Monday. I had one dose calc., lots of priority, some drugs, etc. I passed with 75! I have faith that you will too!

8. How many got only 75 questions?

   kaitsmama replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX

   I did 75 in less than an hour. I was so certain I had failed! I had one dose calc early on, lots and lots of priority, some diabetes, some pre/post op, critical, some drugs, it was a major mix of questions! I found out today that I passed

9. It shut off after 75 questions...

   kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX

   OMG, I couldn't wait any longer... I called the board of nursing and asked them to see if I had a license number!! I did! I passed! I am a Registered Nurse! I am so, so, SO, SO HAPPY! I am so happy that I had a license number!! I passed, I passed, I...

10. Took My Boards Today (RN)

    kaitsmama replied to DaveLPN's topic in NCLEX

    I know I have heard of people passing and failing all the way across the board. If it makes you feel any better, I ended at 75 and feel like I must have failed! If I failed, it was a total tank! Hooray! 60 questions to determine my future...seems wro...

11. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX

    I just found out that one of my friends did not pass... she had all 265... I feel so bad for her. At the same time, all I can think about is the fact that I feel like I failed. I am a horrible friend!

12. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX

    I am trying, but when I am able to remember a question, I think, but maybe it was this because... OK, calming down again... I really want to be an RN! I want it more than I have ever wanted anything. I keep checking Pearsonvue like it will be there b...

13. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX

    Thank you so much Eric... I thought surely if I missed the last question I was done... It just feels so awful!

14. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama posted a topic in NCLEX

    I thought I would feel better, but I know I got the last question wrong. I clicked the answer and then next and wanted to go back as soon as I did, but it went to a blue screen. I wanted to pass on the first try, now I am so messed up... I should ha...
