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 the state of Georgia, and it's to earn my Associate'...

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

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. You need to clarify the course of action betwee...

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 more difficult than I'd expected, in that the que...

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 more.

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 on the Georgia Board of Nursing website the followi...

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 me. I've always wanted to have a career where I w...

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 10-12. Most ASN/ADN courses will require a minimum am...

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 minute studying the day before. It's okay to do some...

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 better fit for a graduate nurse? I know I want to d...

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 can have greater flexibility in my career. However...

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 it was easy, then she was probably below the passin...

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 covid patients yet - however, it WAS necessary fo...

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 is, I'm sure those numbers would be much higher if ...
