As many times that i have pushed this stuff i've only seen bps drop maybe 10-15mmhg.....and i have never seen or heard of it being hung.

I used alot of different resources, it didnt matter what, just alot of different ones, ive used kaplan, saunders, and mosby's flashcards. Kaplan's book will teach you how to analyze the question which is a very big help.

I am a new nurse in RI, and i think there is alot of negative feedback on this site sometimes. Im sure some nurses can be quite mean, but theyre not all like that.....So far ive had nothing but good experiences, clinically and as a Nurse.

Dont get discouraged. Do as many questions as you can to expose yourself to as much CONTENT as you can. Kaplan offers a book and CD : "strategies for the registered nursing license exam" this helped me in how to answer the questions and what theyre l...

I agree with the ICU floater....The biggest defining factor was being able to know my patient.. bigger yet....advocating.

I feel very lucky, i just got hired and this particular hospital offers PAID NCLEX review for 8 hrs a day x 4 days, which is the start of our 1st week of orientation to this facility.

funny lookin kids FUO

Some of you are TOO FUNNY!! Thanks for the laugh! graduating soon, and i'd agree its personalities not "nurses".

Very well said. My Instructor also asked for us to taylor the care plan to the patient and once you understand what they're asking, it comes fairly easy.

I agree with ya.

Just recently heard, we have up to 2 hours before/after.....considering the shortage in some areas, this could be why......Med/Surg Floor with 6-8 patients..........Thats just nuts:uhoh3:

$21 and change and hour here to start, shift differentials, weekend differentials and sign on bonuses along with it. "NorthEast Area"

VERY WELL SAID!

Ya ready? :welcome: Basic Human Needs, Health Mangement, Immobility, Self-Care Facilitation, Safety/Health Risk, Phys.Assement, Drug Dosage, Risk Management/Infection Control, Med.Administration, Nutrition Support, Electrolyte/Acid Base Balance, C...

EVERYTHING HELPS!!! WOO-HOO!! THANKYOU!!

Critical Care where i've looked into is a six month internship.....three months? That's scary.

I will be graduating in May also. If its what you really want to do why not? You hear that experience is helpful but i really think that if your commited to it and want to learn, you should. It will be alot of work and lots of learning, and extra cla...

(hit a few too many buttons, sorry). We can all be our own worst enemy. I always took classes and clinicals one lecture at a time. You will get out of nursing what you put into it. Get with a good study group, you'll have each other to lean on. I am...

No it isnt easy. I work two jobs and this is my last year of nursing. If your motivated and committed you can do it. DONT TELL YOURSELF YOU CANT

Yeah, isnt that strange. I will be graduating in May. I work in a nursing home part time and had an RN say to me, "are you glad to be graduating, because then you wont have to do this anymore", clearly referring to the not so appealing aspects of nur...

semperfi8688Id agree with the others. Leave it to the Instructor, i know they are quite vigil about what is and isnt happening. You should becareful about noticing the stick in their eye, because you maybe blinded by the two by four in your own.

Hey Suzi, my name is Lisa.....when i started i believe how it started was like a lightbulb going on, i believe my faith has led me in this direction, i truly believe that, b/c to commit yourself to just the education alone takes as you know, lots of ...
