  1. 2nd time NCLEX test taker

    acmt27 replied to FOZFOZ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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

    acmt27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    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

    acmt27 replied to ISTJ nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    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?

    acmt27 replied to guest1200295's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    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?

    acmt27 replied to guest1200295's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nothing confidential about your response. No specific patients were mentioned. No HIPPA violation

  6. Career/job Options for MSN Informatics.

    acmt27 replied to Mpompo838's topic in Nursing 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...

  7. Remote jobs/masters programs towards this

    acmt27 replied to ISTJ nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I have been looking into nursing informatics as a career. I'm currently in an outpatient clinic after working 4 years bedside on various floors. If I have learned anything since switching, it's that I...

  8. Getting my foot in the door

    acmt27 posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    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...

  9. Getting my foot in the door

    acmt27 replied to acmt27's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Thanks for the advice! I appreciate the insight into the candidates. I guess my only concern is that I have only been at my current job ~7 months. I did 4 years on the floor, between med surg, tele,...

  10. Archer and UWorld Scores

    acmt27 replied to amy Triptyline's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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

    acmt27 replied to xlightx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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

    acmt27 replied to Guest995304's topic in 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?

    acmt27 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Critical Care

    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. Between a rock and a hard place (or Sedated patient deemed me uncompassionate)

    acmt27 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    acmt27 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    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)....

  16. Is it generally easy to make friends in new grad RN programs?

    acmt27 replied to superbity's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It all completely depends on where you end up. I have friends who can't stand some of their coworkers, don't feel welcomed on their floor, or are put off by hearing nurses gossip about other nurses....

  17. UWorld, Hurst, or Kaplan?

    acmt27 replied to TONI SLOAN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used UWorld. The explanations they gave for every question were phenomenal. They also rationalized why the incorrect options were incorrect, which I thought would be confusing but made total sense...

  18. Med/Surg to ICU

    acmt27 replied to Ginger27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in sort of the same boat! Trying to switch from tele to ICU, I hate the monotony of a non critical floor and am most excited and focused in the few times where our floor is in an emergent...

  19. APPLYING TO NURSING SCHOOL/AP CREDITS

    acmt27 replied to bjones's topic in General Students

    Ditto to the above comment. I went to Mizzou's nursing school and had taken a few different AP classes. They counted as credit but did not factor into my GPA (which was a bummer because they would've...

  20. How I passed NCLEX-RN in 75 questions

    acmt27 replied to sara567's topic in General Students

    I also passed in 75, and would HIGHLY recommend the app/website UWorld. There's different subscription options so you can choose from different size banks of mock exams and questions that are broken...
