I don't understand your question completely. Your instructor wanting you to use 'equilibrium' in your care plan is throwing me off a bit. When I read what your pt's problems were I thought of ~...
What you might need to do rather than memorizing and remembering what you read and learn from the books is to actually be sure you completely understand the 'why' and 'how too's' of the information....
Does anyone have a good layout for your brains? When I was in nursing school it was given to us for the first 3 semesters, then we had the opportunity to make our own and play with other's as well. I...
The minum number of questions you will get on the NCLEX-RN is 75 questions and the maximum number is 265. You can answer any number of questions from 75 clear through 265. The computer will stop and...
I'm not sure I really understand your question ... Deciding to be either a GN or RN is not really something you can do other than if you are thinking... "Do I want to work while I am studying to take...
OH Kimerick! You have no idea how proud we all are of you. You have shown more motivation and determination than anyone I have seen on this sight and in my personal life! You are an inspiration to...
lookingforward ~ I think your post was very nice and from the heart. I'm glad you gave us the insight with out the defensiveness that seemed to seep into the earlier ones. Yes, you can do PEDS...

I was going to go and look and see what you see but silly me! I don't know your name!!! Still let us know what you find out though. Here is the number to your states Board of Nurse Examiners, give...
Did you hold another license prior to testing for your RN? Like for example an LPN? I would call your local BON and ask them. There may be a mistake with the date. Let us know!
ccstudent, you got some great advise and I am glad your first two classes went well! It's always good to get off to a good start. I just want to add that the anxiety WILL go away... as soon as you...

This pt being a diabetic with a recent R toe amputation may distract you. These are important factors in the pt's care and may end up coming into play with...
A lot of times that is true, but don't' get caught up with it. If a pt's pain is under control than it isn't the top priority at that time. Important yes, but not necessarily the most important....
Start with your ABC's. Airway is always tops then go down the list from there. Then think about when you began your day. What intervention did you know you had to do first for this pt? What did you...
Pay attention in your clinical and find what is lacking or what can be improved on. The secret to these many projects in nursing school is to first assess and then diagnose. That is the reason you...

Way to go! It is a huge relief isn't it? I know I cried more when I found out I passed then I did when I found out I hadn't (and I thought I cried alot then!) Now you can sleep like a baby! :zzzzz...
Take two or three days off from even THINKING about the NCLEX then make yourself some flash cards with lab values on them so others can drill you. You'll get em'. Link similar values together. For...
