Have any of you been asked for provide a resume for a preceptor? Do you tailor it specifically to the preceptorship or just use your regular RN resume?

Did you need a 95% of the exam, or a 95% chance of passing the NCLEX? Because a 95% on the exam is a ridiculously high score, especially considering that 69% is the "Level 2" score for this test.

Is it 2000 hours experience to be accepted, or do you just need 2000 before the start of the clinical courses? Based on the website, it seems to be the second, but you are saying its more of the first?

Where can I find the applIcation deadlines for Ball State? I'm interested in the RN-MSN FNP program.

Where can I find the application deadlines for Ball State? I'm interested in their RN-MSN (FNP) program.

Hi all, I'm a brand new LPN interviewing for my first LPN position on Monday at a subacute facility. The written application had a 75 question test attached to it, if that gives you an idea of how this place operates! Anyway, I'm prepping for the i...

I'm applying for a position as a CNA at Presence. Does anyone know what they start their CNA's at? Does it change depending on the hospital? I'm hoping this will be a foot in the door for trying to find a job after I graduate from nursing school i...

I would think they would all suck up to you because you are such a valuable resource, because you've been through it before. We have a repeating student in my current semester, and we were all super quick to make friends with her, ask her to join ou...

My understanding is that the e-books do not have an expiration date. That is from both the Elsevier rep and the Elsevier website.

Hemorrhagic strokes require surgery, according to my professor (who just finished teaching us about strokes a few weeks ago).

My understanding is that we can sit for the CNA exam, but not until the semester is over. CNA licensure requires a certain number of clinical hours, and we won't complete all the clinical hours until the semester is over (they count our regular clin...

I also do not have my CNA, so my schedule is like this: Monday 4:00 - 6:00pm - Theory 6:00 - 9:00pm - Nursing 140 (CNA class). This has already ended. It only lasted 6 weeks. Tuesday OFF Wednesday 4:00 - 10:00pm - Clinical Thursday 4:30 - 6:30pm ...

I'm in the first semester now in the evening program, and 2 people in my clinical group were late admits into the program (they were notified just 1 week before the semester started), so keep your chin up, and you may very well be starting this sprin...

For our first care plan, we need to utilize 3 nursing diagnoses (2 priority and one of our choice). My patient is a 72 year old female with a non-malignant tumor at C4, which is causing immobility and neuropathy. Priority Diagnoses: 1) Chronic pain ...

Thank you!

Well, I did an assessment, and the only thing she complains of is pain (which I addressed with my first diagnosis) and not being able to sleep because her roommate is noisy. However, she does sleep at least 6 hours a night. She is not able to reposi...

She's in LTC. Sorry I left that part out.

So, I've come up with this for a second priority diagnosis: Impaired bed mobility R/T neuromuscular impairment secondary to pareplegia from non-malignant tumor at C4 AEB impaired ability to turn side to side or reposition self in bed. How does that s...

Her circulation in her lower limbs is fine. Bilateral pedal pulses present. No edema. No current pressure ulcers. No problems with breathing. Would impaired bed mobility be a priority diagnosis? I'm thinking that this patient has so few other thin...

Thank you for your reply. She's generally, besides the lower limb pain, in fairly good health. I'm actually having a really hard time coming up with nursing Dx for her. Her skin is really good at this point, so risk for impaired skin integrity is a...

We can't use a medical diagnosis as our related to statement. I would look at that part again.

I always have a positive skin TB due to the BCG vaccine as a kid. No big deal. I get a chest xray that shows all is fine, and I'm good for another year. It has never hurt my being employed in a clinic or getting into nursing school. A negative ch...

So what about students who enter into a Direct Entry MSN program, such as Loyola University in Chicago? Will they not be able to get jobs because entered into a very competitive direct entry program? I think jobs will be out there, and I don't thin...

I'm accepted and will be going to the night program! I'm excited to get started. I don't have all the non-nursing classes completed quite yet, so I'll be taking 2 classes this summer and two next summer. But at least, during the year, I won't have...
