    ASN/RN to BSN in Canada?

    Casey_93 posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I ask mostly to satiate my curiosity, since I've never had much luck getting straight answers about Nursing Programs through Google. I'm about to start my nursing classes at a local college here in...

    Should have I called rapid response?

    Casey_93 replied to Nursing_excellence's topic in Critical Care

    This is true. I still get Septic Shock confused for Sepsis in general. Thanks for the

    Should have I called rapid response?

    Casey_93 replied to Nursing_excellence's topic in Critical Care

    It's my understanding that fluids are bolused in when a patient is dangerously hypotensive from Septic Shock. Yes, your patient's BP is a little low but that's certainly not dangerously low....

    Passed NCLEX - but felt like you failed?

    Casey_93 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX on Monday, June 15th. I finished at the current minimum, 60 questions(thanks, covid!) and walked out of the Pearson Vue testing room feeling like an absolute and utter mess. It was far...

    Passed NCLEX - but felt like you failed?

    Casey_93 replied to Casey_93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That sounds like an actual nightmare. Having to wait until the next day to see my name on the Board of Nursing website was torture enough! This just sounds blatantly cruel haha! I couldn't agree...

    Passed NCLEX - but felt like you failed?

    Casey_93 replied to Casey_93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did the PV trick after I got my Pearson Vue email, which was about 15 minutes after the test ended. I got the "good" popup too but I took that with a grain of salt and waited for my name to appear...

    What is the reason you are choosing to go into nursing?

    Casey_93 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My reasoning is as follows: I've always been interested in medical science. When I was a kid, I got sick a lot - so I was in and out of the hospital, seeing how the nurses especially made an impact on...

    Is 2 years of prerequisites worth it?

    Casey_93 replied to jezziejpg's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speaking as an ASN/ADN grad, it's worth it. I'm planning on going back to school ASAP to earn my BSN, and I still need at least 8 more classes, with most bridge programs I'm eyeing requiring up to...

    Passed NCLEX - but felt like you failed?

    Casey_93 replied to Casey_93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The best advice I can offer to you, besides doing practice questions and reviewing content that you know you struggle a bit with, is to do your best to stay calm. Don't overwhelm yourself with last...

    New Nurse Graduate - GMS vs. ICU

    Casey_93 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I did my preceptorship in the ICU, and my main clinical rotations on the GMS floor at my local hospital, and new openings have become available for both units. In your opinion, which unit would be a...

    ASN to BSN Bridge Programs - fewest prerequisites?

    Casey_93 posted a topic in School, College Programs

    As of yesterday, I just finished my ASN coursework and will be taking my NCLEX within the near future. My plans all along have been to enroll in a Bachelor's program to further my education so that I...

    Have you ever challenged the results of NCLEX-pn

    Casey_93 replied to raspberry's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If she thought it was easy, then that probably isn't a good sign. The test is designed to get more difficult as you do better, meaning more obscure questions and more SATA the better that you do. If...

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Casey_93 replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work at a rural hospital here in South Georgia. We're very close to Albany(one of the worst hit areas in the whole country, accounting for population), and our hospital isn't completely swamped with...

    Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    Casey_93 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It was always my understanding that "competitive" nursing programs were just seeking to ensure as high a passing/graduation rate as possible. A lot of programs lose many students along the way as it...
