1. NCLEX-not so good-need support

   lilome replied to SerenityRN2006's topic in NCLEX

   Maybe you were just really prepared! I do think that a little bit of luck and a lot of knowledge falls into the NCLEX. I mean if you work on a neuro floor and a lot of your questions fall into drugs that pertain to neuro disorders, etc. the test ma...

3. Kaplan Scores **help**

   lilome replied to Katie612's topic in NCLEX

   Mine were just about the same. By the week before the exam, I would score anywhere between 60-80%

4. Did it again, saved another life...

   lilome replied to Adam D. RN2005's topic in New Nurse

   I think it's great that you had such a positive experience! As beginning nurses we yearn for positive experiences. CHF flareups can happen at the drop of a hat. Personally, I don't think you should be 100% comfortable with everything thrown at you....

5. don't know what to do

   lilome replied to lilome's topic in Geriatric

   Thank you. I am working pool right now at the home, and frankly what they pay me is much higher than anything I've found. Now, if I take a regular position the wage drops by like $7. I should take a part time position at a hospital and stay pool w...

6. don't know what to do

   lilome posted a topic in Geriatric

   I've worked in long term care for years. I have been at this particular place 4 1/2 years. I like it. It's challenging, but I like it. I just graduated as an RN and don't know if I should take the job position there or not. Am I being a chicken...

7. I passed!!!!!!!

   lilome replied to lilome's topic in NCLEX

   I guess I don't know what to do now. I mean, I know if you fail you get a print out to look at. Do they send me my license and then that's it? Or, what exactly? I can't find any info on what to do if you pass....

8. I passed!!!!!!!

   lilome replied to lilome's topic in NCLEX

   Thank you everyone for your support. I won't be leaving though. Now it's my turn to support everyone else. I'm so happy. I just started shrieking and crying when I saw pass. Truely one of the best days of my life. I get to go to work today!! ...

   Yes, yes I did!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. NCLEX Review book recs?

    lilome replied to birthmamaew's topic in New Nurse

    I found conflicting info between some of the books. I thought Saunders was good and then Kaplan. I feel like recommending Saunders is beating a dead horse around here, but it truely is the closest. Same question length etc. I think for me the bi...

11. Take NCLEX today

    lilome replied to lilome's topic in NCLEX

    :Crash: If I check this darn pearson vue site again I'm going to lose it.

12. Best assessment for dehydration

    lilome replied to nursingone's topic in NCLEX

    Well, I wouldn't think potassium. Sodium is a better indicator. I guess between the three I would go with skin turgor. Oral membranes can dry out with a mouth breather. What was the fourth choice? As for the second question their orthostatics wou...

13. I am a RN!!!

    lilome replied to Pocamom's topic in NCLEX

    Where in Wi did you take it? I took mine on the 25th in Brookfield. Still waiting for results. It does say that Pearson Vue delivered the results...just waiting on the Board. I keep getting excited, but then I knock myself back down just in case.

14. I am a RN!!!

    lilome replied to Pocamom's topic in NCLEX

    Wow! You found out fast! Congratulations!!! :balloons:

15. Just took my NCLEX

    lilome replied to ladydame's topic in NCLEX

    I thought the questions were very similar to Saunders. But I'll be honest....I felt like it was so entirely random...everything related to a drug.
