Here's the way to get people to not want to quit: stop overloading them with work. <br><br>No nurse should ever have 7 patients, ever. <br>No nurse should ever get more than 1 patient back from the...

WAIT A MINUTE.........Do we work at the exact same place? Haha! Your day sounds just like mine! I especially love the sundae part, because ya know waitressing is what we became nurses to do, right?

I did 90 days of preceptorship/orientation. Actually, the first 30 days was a lot of classroom work so basically 60 full days of preceptorship on the floor. I feel that no matter how long you are...

Our hospital requires ACLS for all telemetry floors, we also have a mandatory EKG course at orientation that I found helpful for review. My particular school program had a very extensive EKG...

I agree with Silverlight. I work on a cardiac floor and we deal with a lot of pts who come in with chest pain and are likely already having ROMI panels completed along with at least 2 good EKG...

I've been working on a telemetry cardiac surgical floor since February. Been on my own for a little over a month now. I have been working day shift up until this past Friday, will begin night shift...

The hold was never lifted. It actually kept showing the same thing until around 50 hours after I finished the exam, then it said results available.

I understand the logic behind the trick, but I feel that I need to reiterate what I was told by the TN state BON. They have had several incidences where a person tried the trick, got the CC page and...

I guess I may not have connected the agitation and pain, but that shows my inexperience. I am thinking that I would've tried the ativan and if that didn't help, then move to the tylenol. I feel like...

I wish I had managed to relax a little more and enjoy the company of my classmates a little more. Don't get me wrong, a lot of us that graduated in December are still keeping in very close contact...

I never took Chem and managed just fine to understand what I needed to know to thrive in the nursing program.

To be honest, I really didn't. There were some that I just knew because I had come in contact with them (no pun intended) throughout my clinical and work experience. Such as CDiff which is contact...

I don't think there are any LPN to BSN tracks in my state. I actually had never heard of that. LPN is actually not a college degree, it's more of a diploma program because you don't graduate with an...

I think it just depends upon your personality whether you will like it or not. I remember basically spending a lot of time talking to patients. The unit that we went to was more of a crisis...

I believe the last poster said it best. I know the other poster said don't think about water with salt in it, but that's how it works for me. If you cook something like chicken in a sautee pan: at...

I think that the article hit the nail on the head. It is a great time to BE a nurse, just not so hot of a time to BECOME a nurse. I was very lucky to have already been an employee at the large...

You're very welcome. His name is Tim Bristol. If you google him you will find a link to his website and also check out rnnextsteps.com. That's an NCLEX prep program as well, not sure how much it...

I only had a few peds questions but I have had people tell me in the past that they felt like their whole exam was mother baby. Honestly, I think that everyone gets a different exam so there's no...

I did mostly review questions from a disc that came with The Illustrated Study Guide that was given to my class during a 3 day prep course provided by the school. Tim Bristol was the presenter and he...

I think that is a fantastic idea!! This will keep you fresh in her mind and show interest without being as pushy as making phone calls or in person visits.

I just graduated in December, took boards Wednesday (and Passed!). We began our 2 year ADN program with around 98 and graduated with 56. My school has a 98% 1st time NCLEX pass rate. We lost more...

Well thank you!!! I just basically did alot of ATI practice exams, NCLEX made Incredibly Easy Q&A Questions, and CD that came with a Study Guide from Tim Bristol (Nurse Tim). I would review isolation...

I took it Wednesday afternoon and found out Friday afternoon. I have a friend as well that took it Thursday and found out Saturday, so it's possible. Also, the pearson vue trick is mostly accurate...

I passed with 75! Thought I failed and felt like I guessed my way through it, but I didn't! I passed!!! (Still new, so I can't get enough of saying that I PASSED)

I just took the NCLEX Wednesday and found out yesterday that I PASSED! Please, don't overwhelm yourself with too much studying. It is very hard to be fully prepared for this exam, and you will likely...
