I am look for some evidence based practice to support or not support: the facilty where I work when a diabetic patient is admitted they forego the pt's home regime and start them on accuchecks ac and hs and novolog premeal. Some of our patients have never been on insulin before and prior to hospitalization were controlled with oral hypoglycemics. Also some were never doing accuchecks as often as we are doing them in the hospital. If you could point me in the direction of some resources to support this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I totally agree with megannyrn regarding the situation in NY for new RNs. If you still want to try, I would suggest researching upcoming job fairs. One source to use for this is advance. They usually of listings of upcoming jobfairs and the states in which they will be held. This way you get to network with many places instead of just flying out to meet with one. Another option is to go on wikepedia, do a search for NY hospitals. You will get a listing of all hospitals in NY, go on each website and search employment opportunities and apply.

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dancgrp:

Kaplan was worth every single penny!!! If you can't afford the entire thing atleast purchase he Qbank. I completed the Qbank with a 65% Cum My Diagnostic was 54 My Readiness was 65 My trainer scores were:- 57 63 56 63 56 65 71 I took the NCLEX only did 75 questions in 1 hour and passed.

Did we take the same test?? Mine sounds exactly like yours. i did mine on august 5th 75 questions in 1 hour found out i passed.

Adding one more testimony to the list. I took the NCLEX-RN in NY on august 5th. I did 75 questions. Came home and tried the trick. I got the infamous pop-up. Tried it again later that night, the next day and yesterday. I received the pop-up all times. I found out I passed yesterday.

I think it would help if you went to the "Pearson Vue trick" thread. Most people who received the message you did, didnt have the "delivery successful" status. Look for this status and try again. Good Luck!!!

Sageboi some people also received the "hold" message if their school didn't send in all their information

most states have a 45 day wait from the date you took the last exam.

Took my NCLEX today as well and only had 75 questions. 10 of which were SATAs. Not one math. Infection control and prioritizing. The Pharmacology was a bunch of meds I have never seen or heard. I felt like I was guessing most of the time.
