  1. I don't know what to think...

    MayisontheWay replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cardiac, That is exactly my sitatuation...I did not think the test was hard. I got 75 questions and really sort of giggled through many of the questions once I started getting prioritization and...

  2. I took it this morning!

    MayisontheWay replied to kimmy84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kimmy...I took it this morning as well! Probably 25% or more prioritization (What would you do first?) Another 10-15 "choose all that apply" and I think my weak point must have been infection control...

  3. claiming to be what she isn't

    MayisontheWay replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

  4. New horrible disease coming down the pipes!!

    MayisontheWay replied to LPN1974's topic in General Nursing

    Something fishy about this whole thing. So many descriptions of lesions and yet no lab studies or photos? They have ONE picture....doesn't look like much of anything. The description of the disease...

  5. Army grad program CRNA

    MayisontheWay replied to ASOLDIERNURSE's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Edited to say...just saw someone else had posted the link.

  6. Graduating Nurses..

    MayisontheWay replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am getting my friends very nice canvas bags (Gap online for $14.99) with their names & credentials embroidered...filling them with nurse "essentials" such as scissors, pill crusher, hemostat,...

  7. Army grad program CRNA

    MayisontheWay replied to ASOLDIERNURSE's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It cannot be waived, however, they don't require you to have it done at application...it must be completed before school starts in June.

  8. only 1 year of experience

    MayisontheWay replied to jessicah67's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't panic! I think they just went back through their files and looked at all the people that didn't pass...the only common variable was age! I didn't ask any questions about the quality of their...

  9. only 1 year of experience

    MayisontheWay replied to jessicah67's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't want to cause a firestorm, so please, please don't flame me for saying this. I asked the question about success in CRNA school compared to experience (to a PhD CRNA at a very good program)....

  10. MRSA and CDIFF= VRE???

    MayisontheWay replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    rstewart, I did not see you reply before I posted mine. Thank you for the explanation.

  11. MRSA and CDIFF= VRE???

    MayisontheWay replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    while the terminology used to describe this is false, the development of a vre infection makes sense if you're being treated with mega antibiotics to first treat a mrsa infection which then causes...

  12. Parkland Crictical care/Trauma internship???

    MayisontheWay replied to snowbiggie's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ranchgirl30, I've been trying to PM you again but your inbox is full!

  13. GRE Question

    MayisontheWay replied to MayisontheWay's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ready, You know I have to cover all my bases! And did you note the 3.97, it's not official, but I'm assuming my first B is coming...that's what the GRE is doing to me!

  14. GRE Question

    MayisontheWay posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First, what scores are really good? I know many programs have a minimum score, but what is competitive at your program. Second, did your practice GRE scores approximate your real score? I'd like...

  15. Salary question??

    MayisontheWay replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    I wrote something really catty and decided it wouldn't be good for this discussion so I took it out.

  16. Salary question??

    MayisontheWay replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    "1) The amount of clinicals apparently does not matter, the quality and learning experience does. You will find if you look that the NCLEX pass rate for ADN programs is HIGHER than for BSN's." I asked...

  17. Salary question??

    MayisontheWay replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to believe this perception is common and is the reason salaries will never change too much. How many of you have said that it took far longer to get a two year degree than two years? Why not...

  18. Help please

    MayisontheWay replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic533.htm Try this article about sepsis. Here is a excerpt. In some patients, clinical assessment of the response to volume infusion may be difficult. The physician...

  19. Can someone explain PTT, aPTT, and INR?

    MayisontheWay replied to rn2bn07's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Which value, PT or PTT, does heparin influence? Which one does coumadin? Stumped? You can find the right answer by counting to 10: - - - - - - - - - - = 10 H E P A R I N (7 letters) + 3 (PTT) = 10 C...

  20. Who is responsible?

    MayisontheWay replied to classicaldreams's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the assigning RN believes that the other nurse is competent and has no reason to suspect otherwise, she will not be held responsible. Obviously, if it's a new nurse or a nurse she KNOWS...

  21. Who is responsible?

    MayisontheWay replied to classicaldreams's topic in General Nursing

    I stand by what I wrote. The definitions are not interchangeable. If the nurse accepting the assignment doesn't feel comfortable performing it, she has the right to refuse.

  22. Who is responsible?

    MayisontheWay replied to classicaldreams's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the answer is...you CANNOT delegate tasks to other nurses. You ASSIGN tasks to other nurses and the tasks are accomplished on THEIR license, not yours. I just went to a delgation class,...

  23. How soon after graduation can I take the NCLEX?

    MayisontheWay posted a topic in General Students

    I want to take the NCLEX as soon as possible after graduation...anyone know how long it takes to get the authorization? Thanks a million,

  24. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    MayisontheWay replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    I know this thread is not about methadone, but I just had to reply and share this story in support of this quote: What an absolute insult to anyone taking methadone for a legitimate medical issue that...
