  1. 2nd time NCLEX test taker

    Have you found out yet?? It's my understanding that it's rare to fail at 75 questions. Since it's looking for you to hold at a minimum competency level, most who are below the level get more...
  2. Potential New Job Option

    Completely agree. As long as you're able to get by on the pay cut, your parents should support your mental health above all
  3. Remote jobs/masters programs towards this

    I joined a big nursing informatics group on facebook (private group called 'Nursing Informatics') with over 8000 members. The discussions there have been super helpful. From what I've gathered,...
  4. Did something unwise, but was it a HIPAA violation?

    No problem. I have even worked at hospitals that publicly announced how many COVID patients were admitted
  5. Did something unwise, but was it a HIPAA violation?

    Nothing confidential about your response. No specific patients were mentioned. No HIPPA violation
  6. Career/job Options for MSN Informatics.

    Interesting information, I have considered trying to get my foot in the door of the informatics/analyst world. Do you think the current pay cuts/hiring freezes in the field are concerning for the...

  9. I have been considering getting into nursing informatics. I'm thinking along the path of a masters in nursing informatics. My question is, would the best path be to jump right into a masters program...
  10. Archer and UWorld Scores

    I did UWorld back when I was preparing for the NCLEX. I remember getting average UWorld scores, that gave me somewhere in the mid chance passing range (don't remember exactly but I don't think I did...
  11. NCLEX preparation using UWorld

    I used UWorld and passed first try in 75 questions. It's been a couple years so it's hard to remember but I think I was getting average scores on the UWorld questions. Average enough to be very...
  12. Want to transition to MICU/SICU

    My situation a year ago was almost exactly like yours- a year and a half on a tele unit, working nights. I absolutely hated nights but day nurses on tele were always swamped so I put up with the...
  13. Not Many Vented Patients - How Acute if Your ICU?

    I float around the ICUs at my hospital, but mostly stick to our SICU and MICU. We are a level I trauma center in a large urban area. We also have a CCU and PCU, 10 beds for each unit. We are a very...
  14. At my hospital, they use pain parameters for IV pain meds (ex: fentanyl 50mcg q1h PRN for pain 7-10). If I rated the pt's pain as a 3 and gave that med, I'd be flagged by pharmacy. That's crazy that...
  15. Should I quit now?

    Long post but skip to the last paragraph for the main jist of my issues. I have been considering quitting my current position for a while now (like, since before COVID was a thing in every hospital)....
