1. Poll: How long is your orientation?

   jllsnpccc replied to jessi1106's topic in New Nurse

   I am starting work in a Neuro/Trauma/Surgical ICU and the standard is 5-6 months orientation. Most of our 1st 2 weeks are just hospital and computer system orientation, with some misc. time on the unit, then climb on and go for a ride. I am looking...

2. is there anyone who didn't study for nclex

   jllsnpccc replied to AlwaysTired's topic in NCLEX

   I don't know if it is considered studying or not when all you do is review questions. The only thing I actually opened up my books for was to look at what the different position names were (supine, etc.) always the simple stuff that you forget right...

3. Question about Hesi exit exam

   jllsnpccc replied to roro13us's topic in NCLEX

   Man, I can't imagine having the HESI exit exam during my 1st semester; only possible reason I can see it to humble you. We took 2 of them, one for a midterm on our last semester, then at the end of the program, not an exit exam but just to take it b...

   jllsnpccc replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX

   I gotta agree with Purple1953. At 75 questions, I felt that I had nailed this thing, and Praise God I did. There were ALOT of questions that I truely had no clue what it was asking, but chose an answer that appeared to me was the worse case scenrio...

   Great to hear it WorfpackRed. You will only be unofficial for a few minutes, my recruiter at the hospital knew my RN # 10 minutes after I found out I passed. Congrats. Have a great career.

   It's official, I am now a RN :) :) :) Pearson doesn't let you know 1 minute early, at least not for me. NC now has a new RN. :) Mis64, I am waiting for you to say you are also. Let us know.

7. Any students out there dating veteran RNs?

   jllsnpccc replied to misterniftypants's topic in Male Students

   Wow I understand this one pretty good myself. My wife is a physical therapist and has been for 10 years. Before going to Nursing school I was a mechanic, so NOTHING remotely the same, except the body is essentially a machine. I can remember asking...

8. 75 questions and I am sooo nervous!!

   jllsnpccc replied to mis64's topic in NCLEX

   The "what if's". I am with you, I felt really good on Monday, now I have to wait until 2:00ish I guess for my 48 hours to be over with. I am thinking that 75 is great, material was from everywhere and 90% was at high level, in my opinion, but still...

   jllsnpccc replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX

10. Options After Exit Hesi?

    jllsnpccc replied to madisent's topic in NCLEX

    I took one during our midterm, it was an exit exam (so it said) and then we took another before graduation. We didn't have to pass them to exit the program, rather we used it for an actual grade. With that said, I understand where you are coming f...

    jllsnpccc replied to bumbee78's topic in NCLEX

    Depends on how you read my book. "Bedrest may be ordered, depending on the size of the clot" then it states to wear stockings and walking is encouraged, no prolonged sitting or standing or legs crossed.........

    jllsnpccc replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in NCLEX

    SWtooth, I will hopefully let you know by wed. I am taking mine tomorrow @ 1:00, so by Wed. I will know. I scored on both of them over 1000; made me feel good, etc. but right now I am wondering how good the predictor is myself. As soon as I take t...
