1. I am a complete failure; incompetent, stupid, and outright humiliated!

   kmom replied to ZanatuBelmont's topic in New Nurse

   the six doses of hydrocodone 10/325 is quite questionable. did you misread the order? as far as the blood sugars are concerned...well, at your next job, get them before lunch. even if you know the policy (which is great) it is just a standard that...

2. LPN mistreated in dialysis

   kmom replied to LPN30's topic in Urology

   In NC, lpns can do charge. There is only one LPN at the clinic that I work at, and she is good at dialysis but she doesn't know anything else. That is hard in case of a code or some other complicated situation. She enjoys sitting at the charge desk...

3. Winston Salem State University

   kmom replied to debthern's topic in North Carolina

   I have worked with some WSSU nursing students.........they struggled through the program to begin with- unorganized. Plus, WSSU is very well known as the "blackhole" of transcripts. My good friend ended up sending her transcripts there about 3 time...

4. LTC vs. Hospital Salary for New RN - Help!

   kmom replied to dander625's topic in Geriatric

   For a new grad RN in northwest NC Hospital: $18-20.45 LTC: $21.00 That is a no-brainer. The hospital is full of Geriatric patients. I'd rather work in LTC. Nowhere near the stress level.

5. Need some advice about possible LPN to RN route

   kmom replied to kristi1111's topic in LPN-RN

   I have been an LPN for 8 years. I went back to school and graduated with my ADN this year. I would highly recommend getting LPN/LVN 1st. Reason #1, you can make a pretty good salary while working part-time. Plus, being an LPN allowed me to breeze...

6. NCLEX Passers - anyone take ATI Predictor??

   kmom replied to stumillardkm's topic in NCLEX

   I did not like the Virtual ATI. I had a predicted pass rate of 99%. The NCLEX questions were very similar to the VATI, but there were no rationals right there for you to read. If you wanted to find a rationale, you had to find the book that the sub...

7. give me a tip how you study smart

   kmom replied to pamperME's topic in NCLEX

   I used ATI & Saunders 4th edition. The NCLEX had more of the ATI style questions, but the Saunders book did a far better job of explaining rationales....plus, you didn't have to hunt through ten books to find the answer that you were looking for...

8. GOING CRAZY, cant sleep...NCLEX in a week!!!!!!!

   kmom replied to clairebearrn's topic in NCLEX

11. 21 SATA questions on my NCLEX!

    kmom replied to rabird's topic in NCLEX

    Out of 75 test items, I answered 23 SATA yesterday. I was sweating bullets because this format is so difficult for me. I am really worried about my results. I guess all the wondering will come to an end tomorrow.

12. What happens if a person fails the NCLEX?

    kmom replied to kmom's topic in NCLEX

    Every state is different. You have to check with your BON's website.

13. What happens if a person fails the NCLEX?

    kmom posted a topic in NCLEX

    If someone fails the NCLEX, and the BON states that they must wait 46 days to retest, do you use the same ATT? Are you issued another? Anybody have any experience with this.

14. Pearson Quick Results

    kmom replied to ales6's topic in NCLEX

    I am so sorry. Do you have test taking anxiety? I had a friend that just took the NCLEX for the 4th time - she passed. AFter the 3rd time that she didn't pass, she went to the MD and he prescribed Strattera(after evaluating her several times). Sh...

15. Took kaplan twice and nclex twice at 265 questions I think I failed again

    kmom replied to Training1's topic in NCLEX

    There have been a lot of people on here that have had 265 questions and passed. None of us have come out of the test thinking "woooohooo, that was the easiest test that I've ever taken" Don't beat yourself up before you get the results.
