  1. Wishing to work in California, from another state

    Yayamaya replied to suzanne4's topic in California Nursing

    Suzanne The fingerprinting has to be done in California? Other than that the remainder of the paperwork can be done from the 'original' state? Do you know if they require a California address? I am...

  4. KUDOS!

    Yayamaya replied to Yayamaya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My method of study was very simple. I did a lot of practice questions from NCLEX 4000 & Kaplan. Used Saunders for reinforcement of content areas. Before I tested I was under the impression that...

  6. QT 7 - When to take?

    Yayamaya posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I take the NCLEX in 2 weeks. Kaplan recommends doing Question Trainer 7 only a few days before the exam. I would like to take it now to see what areas need review or if I am at a good stage. What is...

    Yayamaya posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  15. Nenate Ambu Bag

    Yayamaya posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a very stupid question to ask. If you were to give a neonate manual recusitation you would use a small "ambu" bag is there a setting on it? I recall being told it should be on 7 but unsure of...

  16. Nenate Ambu Bag

    Yayamaya replied to Yayamaya's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So you turn the O2 supply on, you set the pressure, the bag inflates, you press, then it deflates? Sometimes it seems the simplest tasks stump me to no

  17. Nenate Ambu Bag

    Yayamaya replied to Yayamaya's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Okay - this makes sense now!! So does the bag inflate as you pump it? Thanks
