1. I failed Nclex today

   Nurseangel10 replied to 2bR_Nswag's topic in NCLEX

   I had a really good pathophysiology book by the author Porth, and I skimmed through that several weeks before I took the test. It helped me more than anything. I passed and was glad for it to be over with! I understand you feeling this way, but a lo...

5. Just how important are grades in nursing school?

   Nurseangel10 replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

   Some hospitals sometimes require GPA and it is usually a 3.0 in the main courses. I think they over look the pre-requisite GPA. As for an A versus a B, I don't think that matters, especially if they don't ask for it up front.

7. Weight Gain

   Nurseangel10 replied to kcb007's topic in General Nursing

   Going to spark people dot com and adding up what calories I eat. If I stick to 1200 calories a day and work out I lose weight. Being overweight stresses me out, and it makes me more tired at work and I am sick of it. Going to the gym today!

8. freaking out just about to go to nights!

   Nurseangel10 replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

   It's hard at first. For a lot of floor slow down some around 2-3 am. That's when I would get really tired. Drinking coffee does help, and sometimes a red bull. If you don't adjust after a couple months, and you don't feel good, I would go to days.

    I just hope the codes are few and far between!

11. Patient decompensated on the floor, sent to ICU, Have you had this happen?

    Nurseangel10 replied to Nurseangel10's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how many codes could be prevented if we catch the subtle and sometimes obvious changes?

    Wow, I haven't heard of "flash" pulomary edema. Did you feel somewhat better when you found out it wasn't the meds?
