1. ICU personal reading

   NanSeeH replied to autumn_raine's topic in MICU

   Keep in mind that almost all critical care material seems "too technical" until you experience it in practice. With experience, the relevant materials reinforce what you know, help give you a better understanding and help you put all the pieces toge...

   If the patient is unresponsive, who is giving "informed" consent?

3. staying organized..

   NanSeeH replied to RN1982's topic in MICU

   Kati2005 It's great that you are concerned and speaking with your preceptor is a good idea. Ask for specific examples and advice. Preceptors do regularly give "organize and prioritize" as areas for improvement. And, it may be because there is nothi...

   NanSeeH replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in MICU

   >$10,000 pay back Life is too unpredictable. This is coming from a complete control freak... As a new grad I signed a contract feeling that I made all the needed arrangements, adjustments and compromises in my personal life to see the contract thr...

5. Go Parkland or Go Army??

   NanSeeH replied to mckenzie4891's topic in Government

   I have not considered military service. But, I wanted to add something to this particular thread. The Parkland program requires a 24 month commitment that includes the 28 weeks spent in the internship. The Army and Parkland have excellent reputati...

   NanSeeH replied to ltvixen's topic in Emergency

   LabCat01, thanks for sharing the article. I no longer had an electronic copy. I discovered the article during my first year in nursing school. It was also listed on the program's recruitment poster.

8. Mosby's CAT & Passing NCLEX?

   NanSeeH replied to tcourt's topic in NCLEX

   I got 99% consistantly and passed NCLEX. I feel that it was a good review and helped me get used to NOT being certain. So, the program gave me a chance to "practice" using test taking strategies. But, the questions are not exceptionally similar to...

10. Oh no I got a math question!

    NanSeeH replied to zephyr54's topic in NCLEX

    A class mate found out yesterday that she passed, she said she had at least one math calculation. Luckily, she had not been reading about the latest trends on NCLEX. She only mentioned it because she was wishing she had more (this is before she kne...

11. If Only You Had Known...

    NanSeeH replied to GN4now's topic in NCLEX

    For me, the answer to your specific topic question would be "No". It's not that kind of exam. NCLEX is about analysis and application on an incredibly broad level. It's not what you know, it's what would you do based on what you know. Hope that m...

    NanSeeH replied to DogWalk's topic in General Nursing

    In my current home, we have a dog door for our pets. We're about to move to the "city" and will not have a yard. I have researched area "doggie day-cares", there are several. I was actually surprised by the options available. Some will even pick ...

15. # of questions on the NCLEX

    NanSeeH replied to courtney779's topic in NCLEX

    Let's not forget that 15 questions do not count. Does anyone know for sure if the "test" exam questions are set up to pop up at the appropriate level of difficulty? They may or may not? My point is- there are too many variables associated with this t...
