  2. Info on Passing Standard???

    augigi replied to blessed1702's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nobody can tell you what score will equate to "likely to pass" NCLEX... all you can do is keep doing questions until you are getting a good percentage of them right and feel comfortable. For example,...

  6. Ethical Death or Not?

    augigi replied to dinkysam's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all of the above. It's painful to watch a patient hanging on painfully because the family don't want to let go. I definitely feel people decide to let go. Having said that, if it wasn't...

  8. Agencies and contracts

    augigi replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    I don't think breaking your contract will help, as you need to have the NCLEX first and an immigrant interview scheduled in order to not be affected by the retrogression. Perhaps ask this question in...

  11. Need advice-is it true nurses with hepititis cannot perform exposure prone procedures

    augigi replied to ButterflyB's topic in General Nursing

    You'd have to check with your state board of nursing. I doubt it would be correct, as all nurses must use universal precautions

  12. AOS and EAD

    augigi replied to seiko's topic in Immigration Advice

    AOS: Adjustment of Stay, what you file to change your immigrant status when you are already in the US. EAD: Employment Authorization Document: your permit to work while waiting for green card...

    How serious you get depends on how badly you want it. If you don't want it, do something you do want

  17. resume

    augigi replied to garfieldrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Plus don't forget there's no "rule" that you should have worked at a certain number of places! Working for one place may even look better than having "job hopped", as long as you can convey that you...

  18. Should I "surrender"?

    augigi replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    Noone can tell you that, as it depends on what YOU want to do!! How much do you like it? If it's just a job, and giving you stress, then resign (with adequate notice). If you like it, and want a...

  20. Can I do it?

    augigi replied to ccccdstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. Units for SC shot

    augigi replied to Petite06's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd call the weight 58kg, and aim for 5800. Depends what type of packaging you're using - if you're using the 10 000 u/ml multidose vial, you should be able to draw up 0.58 mls for the correct dose....

  24. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    augigi replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me you are not asking for information, as you are ready to refute every scenario/advice given. If you are set in your thinking, that's fine, and just see how you do in real life. Personally,...
