  1. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    NCVegRN replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    Or to anyone who is vegan for ethical

  2. Question about "diploma" RNs & jobs in CT

    NCVegRN replied to NurseHubby2b's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am a diploma RN, and while I don't live in CT, I got offered every job I interviewed for and got interviews for almost every application I submitted. And I applied in various states since I was...

  3. dobutamine

    NCVegRN replied to samaletta's topic in Cardiac

    I am also a CCU nurse (albeit a new one) and am not sure why there are all these mentions to CVP. Our orders are written to parameters - typically to MAP >60 using an art line. We have a lot of...

  4. Let's Talk About Myelograms--What was your experience?

    NCVegRN replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    I am not trying to be flip, but my dog had a myelogram a couple of years ago for a cervical injury. She now has a disc problem lower down. This vet (at a vet teaching hospital) said we should get an...

  6. Scrubs

    NCVegRN replied to LSUGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    I like uniformcity.com. I've bought in person in Richmond, VA and online. Been happy every time.

  7. Can you sue your instructor?

    NCVegRN replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

    Side note: I was on the honor council at my school. One student review I was juror on we found the student guilty - blatantly so - of her offense. The policy was then that the council would make...

  8. Dissecting a sheep's brain?

    NCVegRN replied to Logos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you. I am so glad to read someone say this. I took anatomy online with no lab dissections. Guess what - I passed it with an A, passed nursing school with a high GPA, passed NCLEX the first time...

  9. When do you sign RN?

    NCVegRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I never thought about this until I got my license about a month ago, but when is it appropriate to sign RN after your name? This never came up in school and I couldn't find anything online. Is there...

  10. When do you sign RN?

    NCVegRN replied to NCVegRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's what I was thinking also. I am very into promoting the professionalism of nursing. I am just not sure what I think about using RN outside of the healthcare facility. But it seems like...

    NCVegRN replied to NCVegRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I said in my original post "until I got my license about a month

  12. When do you sign RN?

    NCVegRN replied to NCVegRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input everyone. So far we have one person who put it on her checks and everyone else only uses it by accident. : ) I kind of wonder why more people wouldn't use it - don't doctors...

  13. How do you know when you're ready for NCLEX?

    NCVegRN replied to GracieLVN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I never felt ready to take it. Yet I did and I passed in 75 questions. You are on the right track getting a good % on the tests. To me it was a lot more about learning the way to answer the test...

  14. What I love about nursing

    NCVegRN replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    Clemm - I am just getting started in my nursing career, but you have mirrored a lot of my reasons. It is truly a dynamic profession with so many options. I had a career before nursing and know that...

    NCVegRN replied to luv2shop19mall's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can actually do mail forwarding through usps online. It costs $1 and you can set it up for just your name. Then your parents mail can go where they want it. Also, I took my exam this week and...

  19. Need Help,Please....

    NCVegRN replied to girlphil's topic in International Nursing

    I can see why that would all be very confusing. Sorry I can't help you, but I wanted to suggest you post this in the 'International' forum. I think you'll get more advice there. Good

  20. I just got home...

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

    Thanks for all the positive vibes! Anyone think there are 'stages of NCLEX', sort of like the phases of grieving? This morning I was in shock and stunned at how incompetent the test made me feel, but...

  21. DUKE-ACCELERATED BSN--> I have questions!

    NCVegRN replied to porterrj's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    That is awesome! The fact that they have such a great sign on program to try and retain their own graduates makes me want to work for them even

  22. Should I trust the Prediction Percent???

    NCVegRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At my school we have to take the RN Comprehensive ATI to graduate. Supposedly it said I had a 98% chance of passing. I am getting into the home stretch now (less than a week to go!) and took the...

  23. Should I trust the Prediction Percent???

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

    Would you care to offer some more detailed, constructive feedback? To me Mosby has the Alt format questions and simulates the stress of the test by changing according to your answers. That alone is...

  24. Should I trust the Prediction Percent???

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

    You are awesome, but now I am even more confused. My difficulty level says Consistent Difficulty Level Achieved: 0.512But my pass percent says 94% prediction. Oh, well. I know I am spending way too...

  25. Should I trust the Prediction Percent???

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

    Thanks for your input. I hadn't thought about looking at improving the difficulty level. Does the scale go up to 1 being highest? I know I'll never feel 'ready', I just want to get to 'ready...
