1. Frustrated

   moojie replied to rscs92's topic in Urology

   It's hard. It takes time. I remember when I first started I would freak out when a patient arrived and the machine wasn't primed, tested, and ready with supplies. I'm now at the point where if this is the case, it's likely because this patient takes...

2. Rinse back amount

   moojie replied to ChicagoRN84's topic in Urology

   My p and p says 300cc for rinseback, and another 300cc for the prime. If you think about it, it makes sense. 50cc for the arterial line, 250cc for the rest of the lines and dialyzer, at least with Fresenius' supplies...also, I rinse them back until c...

   And I want to add that it gets easier as the semester goes on. It's just the first month, like ukgirl said, is bananas. By the sixth week or so you will be able to complete your video validations faster, know what to look for when you're reading and ...

   Earl M... Excellent idea! Definitely start reading earlier if you can. Our first exam was on 21 Chapters! Read Culture, Vital Signs, the chapters on the Nursing Process, Infection Control, Safety, Ethics, and Chapters 1-5. That should keep you busy l...

   moojie replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey

   You will definitely need a drug book guys. Not so much the Calculate with Confidence, unless you are really really REALLY bad with basic math. You get three chances to pass the calculation test before clinical starts. But the content is simple. If y...

    moojie replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey

    Newstart, I am pretty sure you won't need the uniform before clinical, but don't quote me on that. We needed it earlier because the program was under review for a couple of days, but from my understanding this process only happens every few years. As...

    moojie replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey

    The book in the library will most likely be the one from the company that makes the test. The vocabulary section is good, and If you are not good in Math, that section might be helpful as well. That being said, it is only 35 pages long or so. I recom...
