I took NCLEX-PN last year and did the Hurst Review Live with my class for 2 or 3 days. It was great. It broke the information down simply, I loved it. After the Live session was over, we had access to online tests and study materials. My PN classmates and I can proudly say we all (14 of us) passed at 85 questions. :)

I never worked in the medical field before nursing school. I typically have a iron stomach and am able to hold my gag reflex well. Flash forward to my first semester of nursing school when we did clinical in a nursing home. I had several "poop parties" to attend to. I gagged, I had to step out of the room so I didn't vomit everywhere... i felt so defeated. (And my instructor told me I wouldn't be able to be a nurse if I couldn't deal with poop). I cleaned up another patient and same thing (but less dramatic), And then another and it got better. After 2 years of cleaning up feces I am PROUD to say I can clean up poop without gagging. HOORAY! :) What I've done is stop thinking about the poop and letting my mind take over, and bring my mind somewhere else. Works like a charm every time. Good luck to ya!

Ive been using CorrecTek for the past 8 months and it hasn't be the greatest EMR. There's been a lot of problems with the MAR not being user friendly. Labs not showing up before they are due, detox values not populating...i could go on. Not to mention it kicks you off the server all the time and likes to freeze quite a bit. and this is a problem through all of our facilities. i strongly suggest looking at other products.
