  1. Cane walking on a level surface, what is the CORRECT order?

    JeanettePNP replied to studykittycleo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got that question too. :) You wouldn't want to lift the cane and the good limb at the same time, because then the body's whole support is on the weak side. You also wouldn't want to hold the cane in...

  5. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    JeanettePNP replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just finished NCLEX an hour ago. The popup says, "The candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at this time." Is this the "good" popup? Or do...

    JeanettePNP replied to jessicalily's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for this thread!!! I received my ATT today and decided to take one last practice test to gauge my readiness. I scored 83% on Saunders so I went ahead and scheduled the exam for tomorrow. Then I...

  7. Have you ever had to nurse through a water shutdown?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    For the past few weeks I've been getting messages in my school inbox about a hospital water shutdown due to some construction/renovation. Some of the floors affected ARE occupied patient units. While...

  8. Licensed out of state right after graduation? Or in two states?

    JeanettePNP replied to elle_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am taking the NCLEX in NY but planning on applying in a few different states. The problem is that hospitals in each state want you to be licensed in that state before considering your application......

  9. Have any "romantic" relationships developed in your nursing program?

    JeanettePNP replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    The closest thing to a romance was that one classmate married another classmate's brother. (Yes, she introduced

  10. How long between graduation and NCLEX?

    JeanettePNP replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Which state are you all in? We took our last final August 16 but were told not to expect the ATT before October. I'm in

  11. Schools over - stuck with 18 books

    JeanettePNP replied to Natingale's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to buy old editions to begin with so it's not like I'm stuck with expensive books. I sold my patho and OB books. Still have med-surg, peds, pharm and psych. I also picked up some other books to...

  12. New York City's Changed Hospital Landscape

    JeanettePNP replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, a lot of the closings were inevitable. The buildings were old and defunct and could never meet the demands of modern medicine. Others, like St. Vincents', are losses that we will feel dearly in...

  13. NCLEX-A grade would be nice!

    JeanettePNP replied to zillionthnewgrad's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No.... preparing for NCLEX is stressful enough without aiming for the highest possible score. However, some employers do use GPA as a benchmark, so you coudl always fall back on

  14. i took the nclex without reviewing

    JeanettePNP replied to babinski123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I scored 83% on the ATI predictor, which gives me a 99% chance of passing. I'm still studying, but I'm focusing less on NCLEX-style questions and more on areas that I feel I'm weak in or that I'll...

  15. Do you ever wonder about which posters are your classmates?

    JeanettePNP replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    Half my class reads the board... most are only active in the particular thread discussing our school. It was fun on the first day of school figuring out who was who, but we've moved way past that....

  16. Students- I need your input please

    JeanettePNP replied to JDougRN's topic in General Students

    Your question was specifically about being a clinical instructor, so I'll address that. There are hard-@ss clinical instructors, and there are softies. The softies let you come late and leave early,...

  17. Apply for those scholarships people!

    JeanettePNP replied to Schweet's topic in General Students

    Nah, it had nothing to do with the grammar in my essay. It was school-based. Many of my classmates read these boards so I won't say any

  18. Apply for those scholarships people!

    JeanettePNP replied to Schweet's topic in General Students

    I applied for a scholarship, put my heart and soul into it, thought I had a very good chance since I met the criteria and was an excellent student, and was turned down. That really put me off from...

  19. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    JeanettePNP replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    I had all A's or A-'s in nursing school. (In my school an A is 95 and above.) Now in my final semester that record is in jeopardy after I failed an absolutely ridiculous, trivial exam. But maybe...

  20. Pocket handbooks, anyone?

    JeanettePNP replied to Aneri J.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you buy a PDA/Blackberry/iPod touch you can download just about anything you want (or access it from the internet) without having to buy a bunch of little handbooks that may or may not have the...

  21. Lab test pocket reference book

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I ended up going with Mosby, but an earlier edition so it cost next to nothing. I don't mind that it's 2006, how much did lab tests change in 5

  22. Lab test pocket reference book

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm looking for a good pocket reference book for lab tests, procedures etc. There are a few listed on Amazon but they're a bit pricey (in the $30-40 range). If anyone has such a book, what do you use,...

  23. If BSN is preferred in NYC, Why Have ADN Programs?

    JeanettePNP replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    The answer is that the preference for BSN over ADN is a relatively recent phenomenon. Hospitals, even bottom tier, are getting a flood of applications for every open position so they can afford to be...

  25. School favoring its own grads?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Did you attend a school affiliated with a hospital? If so, does the school favor its own grads for hiring after graduation? My school is affiliated with a hospital and I plan to apply there after...
