    Reputable Agencies

    So many companies advertising, which ones are the best to work for, which ones to avoid? Any suggestions from nurses that are in the travel business? Thanks!

    Am I on the right track?

    I say take it, I was hired as a new grad in a Level 3 ED, and also now work PRN in a Level 4 ED. I love both jobs, no plans for going Level 1 or 2, do not need the faster paced ED, I'm and old man of 56 with bad knees!

    Paramedics in the ED

    RN/ paramedic here, I spent 9 months in 1987-88 obtaining my paramedic cert. Then from 2014 to 2017 getting my basics for RN, and graduated with my ADN in May of 2019, while still working full time in EMS. We pick up after ourselves in our ED becaus...

  8. The last anaphylactic shock that I worked was given two, 0.3 mg IV doses of 1:10,000 epinephrine. It saved her life from a wasp sting, her epi-pen had no effect on the reaction. The patient was in her 40s, and she had no ill effects from the IV epi. ...

    Can’t pass the NCLEX

    My school used ATI and Passpoint, and we had the 3 day live review. We also had to get the ATI greenlight. I graduated May 10th and tested May 29th, passing with 75 questions. I only used ATI and Passpoint to prepare after graduation. I had several S...

    Help Scheduling NCLEX

    I graduated May 10th and tested May 29th, which was the earliest test date I could get. Passed NCLEX at the 75 question mark. I used ATI Board Vitals and Passpoint for pre-exam studying, both of which seemed harder than the NCLEX.

    ATI Predictor

    My predictor scores were higher than the module scores. My final predictor had me at a 98% pass prediction for NCLEX, the first one was 94 or 95%. I passed NCLEX at 75 questions. I feel that ATI was more challenging than NCLEX.

    265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

    I passed with 75.

    NCLEX-RN 265 and bad pop up credit card declined (CA)

    @Daniellaperez1986, hoping for the best for you! I was stressed waiting the 48 hours....I started checking for results a few hours after I tested hoping for a glitch in the system. It took 48 hours and 30 minutes for quick results to become available...

    Nclex exam

    ATI Board Vitals and Prep-U were all that I used. To me they were harder than NCLEX, I passed with 75 questions. Always think of Pt safety first, use ADPIE, and do not forget your ABCs when assessing.

    NCLEX-RN 265 and bad pop up credit card declined (CA)

    I would say, don't do the PVT and just wait it out for the quick results in 48 hours. I have heard too many conflicting stories and results about the PVT.
