  1. NCLEX actual exam cost

    RGN1 replied to suzanne7575's topic in International Nursing

    It cost me $200 for the BON fees & $211 for the Pearson fees. Therefor, all in all it cost me $411 for to sit my N-CLEX in London, UK in August

  2. Wish me luck !

    RGN1 replied to Clarecartwright's topic in International Nursing

    OH & BTW - take the N-CLEX seriously but don't dread it too much - I really, really, really recommend that before you take it you do the Kaplan live course - start with the one day & if you...

  3. Wish me luck !

    RGN1 replied to Clarecartwright's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Clare - have PM'd you - so pleased it went well! I only have praise for my contact at Adevia too - X- she's been fantastic & is always there to speak to, however silly the question is. Good...

  4. UK Psychiatric nurse got permission to test in NJ without making up hours!!

    RGN1 replied to rsmit02's topic in International Nursing

    You trained on an older style course - which we all acknowledge probably did have enough hours. As SD said it's the newer courses which many have found lacking. I totally agree that you should apply...

  6. Time Scale for cleansing

    RGN1 replied to djblackburn's topic in International Nursing

    WE were always taught the 30 second thing too. However, when I did my venepuncture & cannulation course the course teacher said we should wipe just once in one direction & then allow to dry...

  7. Florence against men

    RGN1 replied to MountainMan's topic in General Nursing

  9. Help pls regarding becoming a RN in USA

    RGN1 replied to Coda's topic in International Nursing

    I had 50ish hours theory and 150 hours practical in maternity (that was 4 weeks on the wards full time) which was more than plenty for Vermont. Everything else I had truly tons of hours in, maternity...

  10. After passing NCLEX

    RGN1 replied to straberry's topic in International Nursing

    I didn't have to pay any other fee- bar the $7.95, or whatever it was, to see if I passed on the Pearson site (this is, of course, optional) If you endorse to another State then there will be a fee...

  11. Nights

    RGN1 replied to oreo75's topic in International Nursing

    I agree, this is not what you signed on for. You need to have a chat with management, I think because of the current job situation they believe they can do as they like because you've no-where else...

  12. How common is SQ hydration therapy?

    RGN1 replied to styRN's topic in General Nursing

    We used it from time to time on the acute medical ward I worked on prior to my current job (only left Jan 2006 - so very recent & I've no reason to think they are not still using it to date). It...

  14. How many of you balance a sport or hobby?

    RGN1 replied to nurseinlimbo's topic in General Nursing

    I do karate up to 5 times a week & we have gradings & competitions at weekends. I have good colleagues who swap shifts if I get really

  15. When we were younger new flegling nurses :D

    RGN1 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    I remember that I couldn't wait to be a staff nurse so that I didn't have to do so much work!! Students ran the wards while the staff sat in the office & smoked & drank tea/coffee! They only...

  16. OZ or US whisch is best??

    RGN1 replied to cheryl nairn's topic in International Nursing

    Yes I can see that that might be viewed differently because your hours are not guaranteed. I'm on a proper contract so it was not a problem. Is there no way that you could get a permanent contract...

  17. ogp revised contract

    RGN1 replied to english_nurse's topic in United Kingdom

    It is, at least, a more sensible

  18. OZ or US whisch is best??

    RGN1 replied to cheryl nairn's topic in International Nursing

    You don't have to be working full time at all. I'm with Adevia & I work part time. The Board of Nursing where I licensed only requested 400 hours within the last 2 years or 900 in the last 5...

  19. OZ or US whisch is best??

    RGN1 replied to cheryl nairn's topic in International Nursing

    Like most topics, if you ask a question here you'll get almost as many answers as there are people replying. You will also court controversy from those with directly opposing views! I truly feel that...

  20. Happy New Year

    RGN1 replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Yup - sure

  21. CNS's Role in future in the UK

    RGN1 replied to paris2's topic in International Nursing

    I think that with the reduction in junior doctors hours, like it or not, the role of the nurse across the board (not just for the CNS) will expand. Already the average ward nurse does heaps more than...

  22. How Many Practice Questions Did You Do?

    RGN1 replied to Sheri257's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I lost count but it must have been well into the 3,000+ mark. However, I agree with the poster who said you must learn to understand the rationales or it won't matter how many you do. You need to...

  23. Difference between nursing in the UK vs nursing in the US?

    RGN1 replied to Skwidward's topic in International Nursing

    Just to add to SD's post nursing in the UK is no longer a schedule "A" job & foreign nurses are not able to get work permits at present. This will change, I can almost guarantee it because, as...

  24. Happy New Year

    RGN1 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

  25. Pain shots are us, not this nurse!

    RGN1 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that in truth it does it grate me that I can have a patient who clock watches for pethidine for abdo pain but tucks into a HUGE Chinese take-away brought in by a relative!! Then as soon...
