I feel that the review from Kaplan prepared me well. I passed at 75 questions, no problems. Take the test as soon as you can.

Wow this is all really good info to have, Thanks.

The comments posted by people on this board is why I very rarely come on this site anymore, I THOUGHT this board was for venting with other nurses who understood what it is like, but more times then...

Hey JerseyRN, I work Inpatient Hospice, 16 bed freestanding, its way different then going to peoples homes. Its bascially just like Med-surg, but more emotionally gut wrenching. Sorry if I came...

These are all questions that will happen over and over. Same questions=different patients. Rattling/Food/Pain/medication, sometimes I feel like a tape recorder. Lots and lots of denial in hospice...

Sorry but I don't have anything positive to say about OPMC, I worked there on/off since 1994, (only because of driving distance) I guess they are trying to make changes, but my last experience there...

Yea I agree the non profits are making boat loads of money, we get regular bonus checks > $500.00 a pop, we staff I'd say approx 40% agency and now they are making mandatory uniforms which they are...

I agree 100% with the above posts. I was a St for approx 12 years b/f starting nursing. I heard over and over again, people thinking I have been a nurse forever d/t my ease around the Docs and just...

Wow, what great timing. I have been dragging myself to work for the last 6 months or so, on my days off it takes every thing I have just to go grocery shopping, my husband does'nt understand and...

This being said, if you've been dating for 9 years, I have a few questions - #1- Where's the ring??!, and #2- You should be also looking closer to him to see what you can get so it's not so much of a...

This is exactly one of the resaons why I recently shut my Facebook acct down, If I feel the need to vent I will call my friends to chat. No more of my private life on public domains.

Yeah.. a year or so ago I might have laughed at this post, now Im just disgusted that we have to breath the same air as these Freaks. Over it!!

I am also a Hospice Nurse and let me tell you by the end of 3-12 hour shifts I am crispy fried in the compassion department. I totally understand the poster who wants her hubby to "suck it up", I am...

They held a Lunch at some place approx 45 minutes away, and we got a tiny bag of M&M's.

Im sorry but I would tell the NP to stick it. Your "Nursing Judgement" has nothing to do with walking thru a parking lot looking for patients. They are going to keep treating you like crap if you let...

I tried many different areas of Nursing before I landed in Inpatient Hospice. I do like it, Are there things Id like to change? Sure but considering some of the other places Ive worked, (Med Surg,...

Oh hell NO..., this would NOT happen, no report was given to a qualified nurse, I would be on the phone so fast their head would spin.

Amen sister

I started on an Anti-anxiety during my 3rd month of Nursing school and now here I am 5 years later, still on meds just a higher dose.

I know this is an old post, but gee I sure did'nt know what a dumb ass I was until Firestarter told me. I am a lowly ASN and would gladly go toe to toe education wise with any BSN. I have lived in...

We are currently using Palm Pilots with "healthwyse" loaded on them. As previous poster states its takes twice the time than paper. I have to reboot it at least 3 times a day, and if you don't get...

The nursing situation here in Jacksonville Florida is bad. I am not surprised that the OP can not even get an Interview. I have 5 years experience and had to beg crawling on my knees for a crummy...

NuBee2, I don't know NuBee, I always felt like my preceptors were doing me a favor by showing me the ropes. I hate hate hate being a preceptor, the few times I have, it was very stressful, always...
