  11. Clogs while nursing

    rags replied to Leselberry's topic in General Nursing

    I was observing in the OR the other day and two of the RN's in there had the Z-coil shoes. Made the same claim about comfort and helping with foot/knee/back problems. However... I watched as not once...

  12. how do i max my income as new grad

    rags replied to focker-male nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I should also mention that the loan pmts were figured with no money down. That was for full finance. In our state they offer "first time home buyer" loans (mobile home ownership doesn't count) which...

  13. how do i max my income as new grad

    rags replied to focker-male nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in WY and the pay for a new grad is very dependent on location. My first offer was close to home for $15.50/hr and the orientation was practically nothing. I would have been the only night nurse...

  14. Determining G-Tube placement, what's the NCLEX answer?

    rags replied to Hoping LVN2BSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry, I wasn't finished. To asperate and check PH is the RN's way of testing but the most accurate is to wait for the result to be read on the Xray. There. NOW I am done. Sorry about that.

  19. Drug classifications

    rags replied to MysticalFelicity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Exam Cram-RN has a wonderful chapter on medications. I found it to be the only way I could FINALLY figure out how to learn these. Remember, don't learn the med's themselves (way too many for that!)...

  21. NClex questions

    rags replied to bjssk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    rags replied to lavarn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    rags replied to Andolicious's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Exam Cram-RN, Saunders, and Kaplan. I had what seemed like 100 different books but I think this combination is the best. You will find that everyone will have a variety of choices but you will see...
