  1. Stumped on a priority question

    hypocaffeinemia replied to RNFutureRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your question is an example of how NCLEX style questions are absolutely useless. In the real world, you'd be doing all four answers at roughly the same time. Analyzing the question, administer nitro...

  2. Woodland's Memorial Hermann or St. Luke's Hospital

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ethelbsnrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    This is true. Although, is the St. Luke's system is set up anything like Methodist's, policies and practices are essentially the same at any facility and the only reason the smaller community...

  3. Woodland's Memorial Hermann or St. Luke's Hospital

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ethelbsnrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live in The Woodlands, myself. However, I live in the "back" (Sterling Ridge) and the drive in morning traffic to Willowbrook is only a few minutes longer than to St. Lukes or MHTW. As far as CCU...

  4. Woodland's Memorial Hermann or St. Luke's Hospital

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ethelbsnrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    They are both good hospitals. I've had clinicals at both sites. Aesthetically St. Lukes is nicer overall and their ICU is a bit better of a physical environment. MHTW has an H shaped ICU with no real...

  5. from RN to Pharmacy tech

    hypocaffeinemia replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the obvious issue is that you're paid two to three times less as a

  6. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    So what you're saying is the new nurse is the same as the old nurse minus twenty years? Note: my comment illustrates just how poor of a generalization this is and is by no means how I

  7. bonus's

    hypocaffeinemia replied to roesseba's topic in General Nursing

    I would be against time shares in any capacity aside from a controlling interest in stock of the real estate companies getting rich off of the poor shmucks who invest in a time share. Additionally, I...

  8. Do NP's Practice Medicine?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This totally depends on how you define practicing medicine. The party line is that NPs practice advanced nursing, but common sense indicates there is a substantial overlap in scopes of practice...

  9. OB Rotation is Hell

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    450 a year is 1.23 a day. That's fairly low and that's why you didn't see anything. We had 8 yesterday at my fairly small community hospital (checking the

  10. Houston RN pay?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to worldsas's topic in Texas Nursing

    Should be higher than that. All the hospitals in that area (Methodist Willowbrook, MHTW, St. Luke's) are starting new grads at about $24.50. I don't know about Conroe Regional, but it's an HCA...

  11. Inappropriate ICU transfers

    hypocaffeinemia replied to BlueEyedRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    At my hospital, we often question what is med surg capable of taking care of because they seek to transfer everything to ICU-- calling rapid responses if necessary. Yesterday they called a rapid...

  12. Wide complex SVT versus VT

    hypocaffeinemia replied to jdiekhof's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Yup. However, there's also reports in the literature of adenosine-responsive VT, so what is one to do?

  13. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    i'll take my predictability as a compliment. this is

  14. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    what exactly is your point? the treaty of tripoli was merely nine years after the constitution was ratified, and it's safe to say a good portion of those that signed it were still in the government at...

  15. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    Now you've gone and made me do it. From Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, ratified unanimously by the Senate and signed by President John Adams in 1796-7: The reality is this nation was founded...

  16. Wide complex SVT versus VT

    hypocaffeinemia replied to jdiekhof's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    You can determine axis with some certainty using leads I and aVF-- no 12 lead

  17. Wide complex SVT versus VT

    hypocaffeinemia replied to jdiekhof's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    This totally depends on what lead you're looking at and their history. For instance, you'd usually have a negative deflection on your anterior leads (V1, V2). Also, even though you might...

  18. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    if we continue down this path, i'll have to bust out the treaty of tripoli again. anywho, i just want to second what thatposhgirl

  19. question for Lonestar North Harris College RN nursing program

    hypocaffeinemia replied to joeyrr71's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you are doing an LVN job already you are practicing nursing without a license and this is illegal in all 50 states, including Texas. If you think nursing in any capacity is less work than...

  20. Male Nurse Insert a Foley

    hypocaffeinemia replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    No, you are not justified for feeling this

  21. question for Lonestar North Harris College RN nursing program

    hypocaffeinemia replied to joeyrr71's topic in Texas Nursing

    You should be able to. Although unless you have the extra money and you feel you need a backup it's a waste of time. You won't be sitting for the boards until September at the earliest and there's no...

  22. question for Lonestar North Harris College RN nursing program

    hypocaffeinemia replied to joeyrr71's topic in Texas Nursing

    What school are you at? I know for NH/Tomball/Montgomery it's an extra 6 week or so course in

  23. Does the number of questions predict results?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to survivor08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Once again, the test trends towards 50/50, but shuts off once it's reached a result with certainty. It's perfectly possible to get well above 50% correct (or incorrect) and shut off at

  24. Does the number of questions predict results?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to survivor08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wasn't referring to the actual number of questions that were answered correctly-- I was referring to the level at which each candidate applies. You say yourself that 85% pass the first time so this...

  25. Does the number of questions predict results?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to survivor08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I actually bet this is statistically inaccurate. For a test like the NCLEX, considering the educational investment all qualified candidates have made, it is unlikely that a significant percentage...
