   Hey! I just started working as a nurse this year and I am starting out on a Med-surg/Peds Unit. I love it cause you see a variety of patients. Definitely a good med-surg basis is a must for a new nurse...6 months later I feel more confident and now w...

   SCnurse2be2008 replied to mggmy7's topic in NCLEX

   Be confident! Focus on the first 75 questions (take up to 2 hrs. for these if you need it). Do NOTHING the day before and get your massage that day! Have someone drive you to the testing center if possible. Do the Kaplan tests because they are the ...

6. Admitting or Discharging a Patient

   SCnurse2be2008 replied to BethulieRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think that discharges are way more easier to do rather than new admits...although if your sending a nursing home patient back that could take some time. On the floor I am fixing to start on they try to have a nurse be the admitting nurse who does ...

    SCnurse2be2008 replied to hotcmodity's topic in NCLEX

    You can do it...believe! I failed at 265 too and I attribute it to stress/was out of town in a different environment taking it. I am getting a massage this week before I test and I am going to lunch with a friend and doing nothing the day before the...

    SCnurse2be2008 replied to ivy120's topic in NCLEX

    Yea...I came across these same questions today on Kaplan. I think it is correct that they must be crusted over before you can return to work/school. I take the n-clex for my second time on Thursday....please pray for me!!! When do you take it?

    Hi! I just graduated in Dec. 2007 with my BSN. I did an externship this Summer and had to do a presentation on one thing that hospital could change (nursing related, of course). So, I made a report sheet that I think could be pretty universally used....
