   Lynn4875 replied to oualie20's topic in New Nurse

   Hi, I got off orientation in early January, and I'm still feeling lost when in comes to certain things, and like you, the nurses on my floor seem like the can't be bothered with my problems. For example, last week, RIGHT after I got out of report, I ...

2. Difference between Type&Cross and Type&Screen

   Lynn4875 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi everybody, I know this may sound like an easy question, but I can't figure out the difference between the two. They never really went into it in nursing school. I asked my preceptor, but her reply didn't make much sense to me, so I have no cl...

3. 7th Day adventist nurses

   Lynn4875 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

   What I would say would be something like, 'I'm a Seventh-day Adventist, and I keep the Sabbath (Saturday) holy from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. I would be willing to work every Saturday night and Sunday night, as well as holidays in order to ...

4. Question about Heparin and PTT

   Lynn4875 replied to Mesomorph's topic in Student Assist

   You're right, it does measure clotting time. PTT is used to measure the effects of Heparin, and usually while on Heparin therapy, the desired PTT levels are 1.5-2.5 times the normal PTT values. The normal values may vary from lab to lab, but it's usu...

   Lynn4875 replied to laurenjarrod's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX-RN July 24th, and passed with 75 questions. I'm guessing you had higher level questions, because you state that you had a lot of priority questions. I had a lot of priority questions as well, along with many delegation questions, and...

6. Kawasaki Disease

   Lynn4875 replied to Carla25's topic in General Students

   I did my Peds clinical rotation presentation on Kawasaki Disease. The only reason why my classmates were aware of the disease was because we had discussed it in Peds class the previous week. I'd never heard about it before then.

7. What was your favorite area?

   Lynn4875 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in New Nurse

   I absolutely loved my OB rotation, no contest. Too bad there aren't many open OB positions around here!

10. NCLEX Question

    Lynn4875 replied to shanLPN's topic in NCLEX

    I know one of the techniques one of my Pharm teachers said to use when I was in nursing school was to not try and memorize all of the different drugs and side effects. Instead, know which drugs pertain to each class of drugs, and learn the actions/si...

11. Debate: Kaplan vs Saunders: Which is better?

    Lynn4875 replied to Bala Shark's topic in NCLEX

    I would think Kaplan is better because it challenges you more. I did both Kaplan and Saunders questions, and even though Kaplan was harder, I liked it that way. When the questions aren't challenging enough, you don't feel as if you're really learning...

13. Things you'd rather go through than taking NCLEX again

    Lynn4875 replied to Paleobug's topic in NCLEX

    I'd rather jump out of an airplane (I'm deathly afraid of heights) than take that test again!

14. Anyone who really thought they failed

    Lynn4875 replied to boyboyincali's topic in NCLEX

    I took the test 7/25, I also was almost positive that I failed. The first few questions were all right, but then it got harder and harder. My brain wanted to explode. It took me forever to get to 75 questions (where it shut off). I kept on reading an...
