  1. mbon nclex status

    ukstudent replied to apple84's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I have some friends that have recently taken nclex for md. They are getting the results via pearson's quick results as the MBON is being slow and not posting results until several days later. But...

  2. What to bring??

    ukstudent replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Like the above poster said. You cannot bring anything in with you while taking the test, however it is recommended that you bring a bottle of water/soda and some food (sandwhiches) just in case you...

  3. need help!!

    ukstudent replied to lilygood's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The thing to know about Kaplan is that it is not a content review. The class room is dedicated to going over questions. You do get some content when they go over the reason why one answer is better...

  4. Job Discrimnation !

    ukstudent replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    Now I am really confused. You the OP wrote about discrimination based on talking about god. Now you say it had nothing to do with talking about god, because you didn't. I think you are upset that...

  5. Why would a student be banned from a hospital?

    ukstudent replied to leonidasrex2's topic in Men in Nursing

    I knew someone that on his/her first day of orientation asked a Dr for a nacotic script (did not get it). On his/her second day they asked another Dr for a nacotic script (again the Doc's are not...

  6. I'm confused with Kaplan Q-Trainer

    ukstudent replied to hngd's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Q-bank and q-trainer are different things. The trainer has set 7 tests, while the bank can be changed to focus on certain types of questions and you can get the rationals with each question. I have...

  7. What I am up to...

    ukstudent replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Congratulations on the job

  8. Union vent

    ukstudent replied to DionaLPN's topic in Nursing Career

    And people think that unions are there to protect the

  9. Has anyone heard that NCLEX is doing this?

    ukstudent replied to trixie8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Question: Are candidates randomly selected to receive maximum length examinations-265 items for the NCLEX-RN® examination and 205 items for the NCLEX-PN® examination? Answer: Items are administered...

  10. Has anyone heard that NCLEX is doing this?

    ukstudent replied to trixie8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is an "old wives tale" and is NOT true. The nclex is a CAT, which means it is a computer adaptive test. The number it stops at is individual and it will not keep going after it has determined...

  11. Stupid Q: what comes first - identifying patient or drawing medication?

    ukstudent replied to Nuieve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Saunders is correct. When you get a new order to give a med you do not go to the patient room and check id prior to drawing up the med. You take the med book into the med room, get the med. Take...

  12. Paid more than perm staff nurses?

    ukstudent replied to redshott's topic in Travel

    I am not sure why this argument is going on. This is a forum for travel nurses and sheri is a state worker. Unless all nurses become state/federal workers, why is anyone taking about pensions. The...

  13. Did you use Kaplan??

    ukstudent replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If doing kaplan, do the sample test #3 under q-bank. It is all "who would you see first" type of questions. Do as many questions as you can of all types. Good luck to you

  14. I HATE my externship!!!

    ukstudent replied to iToniai's topic in General Students

    I think what meandragaonbrett was trying to say is for you to learn to say no to your manager. Say, No I was not hired as a unit assistant, I was hired as a nurse extern. Say no when asked to do...

  15. mbon nclex status

    ukstudent replied to apple84's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congratulations. It does mean that you passed. It will say complete on the failed exam line if you did not pass. It seems to take a couple of days until you get a license number. Again...

  16. Which Theory is correct?

    ukstudent replied to FLIGHT2RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The wording for both is slightly different of your examples. This is what I was taught. If two answers are the same but in different words such as a) breathing fast and b) tachypnea, then they are...

  17. Nurses/Nursing Students:What advice would you give someone starting Nursing School?

    ukstudent replied to missymarie26's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Study the why of things, not just rote memorization. Get an nclex review book, even from the beginning. It can be used (cheap), but make sure that it covers the different content areas and is not...

  18. Intern wants to get hired

    ukstudent replied to freedom22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Turn up on time, turning up early is even better. Bring brownies/cookies the first day (creates good will). Be willing to help everyone including the techs. Ask to see/observe anything interesting...

  19. Graduate Nurse, but treated as an Aide

    ukstudent replied to rplumback's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You need to talk to your BON. Your hospital is correct. You are no longer a graduate nurse since you took the boards. From that point on you are either a nurse (passed) or someone that is allowed...

  20. Anyone doing Kaplain Q-bank?

    ukstudent replied to Duncan3178's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan says that getting 65% on there tests puts you in a good place to pass the

  21. Compl. 6 hours A&P - still need online lab. Where to go?

    ukstudent replied to weebs21's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's great, I truley did not know of any online lab class. I still think you may have a problem. From my understanding (I am certainly not an expert) the didactic and lab have to be done at the...

  22. Compl. 6 hours A&P - still need online lab. Where to go?

    ukstudent replied to weebs21's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They said it's not possible because it's not possible. A lab is just that, you need a lab. You need to physically touch, see and manipulate bones, muscles and other body parts. You need to identify...

  23. Rejected from NHCTC - Manch because I don't have any money....

    ukstudent replied to MyLittleCody120's topic in General Nursing

    You should be able to get some student loans going part time, as long as you take at least 6 credits. How about changing your full time job for one in a hospital. A lot of hospitals will help pay...

  24. post leep pap tests

    ukstudent replied to miss arron's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you are looking for medical advice for yourself, you need to call your GYN. Good

  25. Pt stole from a worker?/drama

    ukstudent replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a cover story to me. Maybe she "lost" a lot of money gambling or in some other way that she didn't want to admit to. Unless someone actually saw any money, you only have her word that...
