So my girlfriend (RN of 3 years) and I (RN of .5 years) are planning on a move to Ann Arbor in hopes of employment at the U of M hospital. I'm interested in getting into an ICU as soon as I can to get the year experience needed for their CRNA program...

I'm in the market for a new work shoe and have been doing my research. My gf who is also an RN swears by Dansko's as i see many others on this board do as well. I however have yet to see any comments from the men on this issue

I have only seen a couple of these threads but with very few responses. I already have 3 nursing classes towards my BSN out of the way and am looking to complete the rest totaly online. The trouble it, there are far too many to choose from and at suc...

Can someone who has taken this course take a look at this practice test and let me know if it is in fact similiar to the one given. I am taking the course next week and want to know what to expect. i took this practive test and did not do so hot so n...

Is anyone sure of when the requirements for Nurse Practioner change from Masters to Doctorate?? Signing off- PDaddy

I work in med/surg/trauma ICU at an inner city level ! trauma hospital. I had a pt. the other day that came in from a cardiac event and required the hypothermia protocol. He was 58 and living in an ECF when his ICD fired off 77 times non warranted d...

Well I did tell the family that his heart never went into a shockable rhythm according to the interrogation; that's why they think it didn't fire.

My friend who's a fellow RN told me about open nursing positions in Iraq. Apparently they are so desperate for nurses there they are offering $200K for just 6 months. Any info on this? I tried googling it but with no luck

Tricia, do you by chance think you could help me out with some contact information? Anything would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have worked as a chef (small grill chef) in the past and i know all too well the rigors of working in a busy kitchen when you're slammed. i would hold your opinion as an authority over many other's. Thank you kind sir and much luck with your classe...

As long as you stay above 50% with the qbank questions you'll do fine. I took it last year and was faced with the same dilemma (scoring WAY higher from Saunder's) and this made me nervous as well. I averages around 55-65 through Kaplan and i would be...

Wow, thank you soooo much for the great info, it will help us out more then you know it. So sorry for the SUPER late reply, waaay too many things going on at once. it seems our move will be taking place after completion of my BSN in 20 months . I was...

This is a great idea that I never even considered. i will definetly be looking farther into this option, thanks! Sarah and Alex, it would be great to get advice from someone that's in the area already. I suppose the two biggest questions at hand wold...

Well congratulations! I took it on monday as well and still nothing! I think I'm going to make the state pay for the treatment of this ulcer they have provided me, lol

Did you find out from checking the website or did you pay the 7 or so bucks to find out? What day did you take the test?

LOL, omg you sound exactly like me. I didn't finish my tesst untill just after 1pm so I figured they would be putting it in later in the day. The site DOES say that it's updated daily and a recent graduate I work with found her's posted around 6 o'cl...

Why thank you, and I will be wishing the best for you. I thought the questions were tough as well but from what the statistics show the average pass with just about 50% correct. If you run aout of time they just compute where your standing is from wh...

I have been hearing a lot about Suzanne's plan, does anyone have a link to it?

Yup, upon further review I see that this is not the case at all. I can however view liscensure status at my state board of nursing, and from what the site says it's updated daily. I can't help but to feel as though I'm not going to pass having to tak...

I just got done with taking the NCLEX RN and was taken to the end of the test. I'm now questioning whether or not the last question was 275 or fell just short. I do know however that the last question I answered was right easing my nerves just a tad ...

Ok, I'm in a bind, I have clinicals tomorrow at 0600 and I realized that I left my drug referance book at school. I have a list of meds I'm supposed to pass and don't know their compatibilities perhaps someone can help me out. I'm running D5%1/2NS wi...

Does anyone know of a good online source, thanks!

Thanks, glad to hear I only have to take NCLEX one time :) I'll have to check out that site.

I plan on moving to Michigan after I graduate in under a year and was wondering what was needed to make that happen. Do I need to request a different NCLEX test? What's the policy with that? Thanks in advance!

I graduate in under a year and plan on moving out of state shortly thereafter, what's needed for me to be allowed to work there as well? Thanks in advance!
