  1. Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    Hi OP! I would have to agree with you. Something I've noticed is that you have to be a certain type of individual to make it through nursing school and to be a successful nurse. These people are thick...
  2. Leggings as nursing attire???

    I think this is the problem here lol. I lived in Washington and literally everyone wears leggings as pants. Northface, shirt, leggings, and boots, that's it lol. I moved to California and I didn't see...
  3. Best way to study from PowerPoints??

    Printed the whole powerpoint - 3 down, 2 across and re-write stuff in the margins (i learn best as well when i rewrite but i agree it is annoyingly time consuming). if allowed, i edit the powerpoint...
  4. Trained in the Philippines

    I'm sorry, I meant letter of explanation! My friend wrote it herself and included supporting documents (for her it was because she couldn't stay to take the board exam and had to go back to the US -...
  5. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    The hospital I interned at had this format, except for the part about saying how great the next nurse is. In the MS units, shift change reports would take about 30 mins - 1 hour. Yes they always get...
  6. MD in the Philippines?

    For NP programs: there are no NP programs in the Philippines at this time. For Med School: I can only say that I have met many people from the US who went to Med school in the Philippines and did...
  7. Trained in the Philippines

    Yes, based on a friend's experience, writing a letter of reccommendation is good enough. As far as I know as long as you aren't a Filipino citizen, you definitely can't take the exam. They were really...
  8. What Can I Do With A BSN? (Without a license).

    UWorld in addition to kaplan is a great resource as well. I loved their question bank and it was just as challenging at Kaplan. Search the UWorld group on facebook, a lot of people post testimonials,...
  9. There is a hospital group where I live that has 4 different medical campuses and each has their own general listing for "RN grad residency" but are on the same website. I applied to all. In addition...
  10. Thanks for the reply! I can only hope that will happen to me as
  11. While waiting for documents to process (which took a minimum of 3 months, but personally 5 months for me), my friend worked as a caregiver in a nursing home, which didn't need any certification as far...
  12. I've been hearing rumors that the U.S. now requires U.S. and foreign graduates to take the NCLEX within 2 years of graduation. So far I have only seen New Mexico with this requirement. Anyone else...
  13. is CA BRN unfair?

    Hi! My friend was recently in a similar situation. Me and my other classmates have all been approved except for him because supposedly of the concurrency cases, which was impossible as we completed...
  14. 2017 Studying in the Philippines for Nursing

    Cebu Doctors is a very good and reputable school. I just mentioned the siyudad part just in case your parents wanted to whisk you off to some distant province - that's not something you want. Again,...
  15. 2017 Studying in the Philippines for Nursing

    Hi Elyzarae! I am in the same situation as you, (a US citizen who studied in the Philippines), and I graduated with a BSN in April 2016 and am now an RN in California, currently endorsing my license...

    Question: The client is admitted to the emergency room reporting crushing chest pain, shortness of breath, and left arm pain. Which action, if taken by the nurse, is BEST? I picked oxygen, but the...
  17. Can I register for Pearson Vue before

    Alright, I'll do it then. Thanks everyone!
  18. I saw on another post that I should wait until I get approved by the BON to register for Pearson Vue. But other people said when they registered, they instantly got their ATT (I suppose it's faster...
