Yep, that sounds like Rasmussen. They hound you a lot. They are much more expensive. They employ their own financial people to assist you in getting student loans etc. You will get your RN if you can pay. And yes, there are no waiting lists, and they...

YAAY!!!!!

I'd like to be a part of this group too. Failed my nclex a couple of weeks ago. It seems that prioritization is my weakness.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!'nn

Healthstar, tried to message you, but it says your mailbox is full

Took the NCLEX RN yesterday for the second time. I seemed to be doing well. I was very sure of most of my answers. Then I started getting tons of prioritization questions. I Had tons of prioritization questions the first time as well. Got home and di...

Thanks so much. Your tips on prioritization are just what I need! :-)

I am not sure about this, but my nursing instructor told me it just got harder this April, at least in MN. I don't know if it is the same for the rest of the country, or if the test is the same nationwide.

I'm an LPN student and I work in a group home. I take care of diabetics, (Blood sugars and insulin), urostomies, irrigating SP caths, and med passes. Other duties I perform give me some experience that I believe will benefit me in future as a nurse....

A patient had 240cc of NG output from 0800-12noon. The physician has ordered the output replaced cc/cc with D5W.45NS with 20 meq of KCL. How much will you give per hour over the next four hours? Your pt has D5W.45NS with 20meq KCL maintenance bag a...

Thanks, you made it so easy. I was getting confused about the other numbers. :bowingpur:bowingpur

On my first day of clinicals, I observed the nurse mixing Lantus and Novolog. I told her we had learned that Lantus was never to be mixed, but she gave it anyway.

I need some info or web sites that talk about labs that are monitored while a patient is receiving enteral feedings, and why. Any interesting links will be appreciated. I have googled, but still can't come up with anything

I have just started my first clinical this semester. On the first day I did finger sticks and assisted with daily cares. On the second day I did wound care, head to toe assessment and gave two insulin shots. My instructor watched me draw up the insul...

I just finished my first semester. I had an overall grade of 93.6 percent in Pharm. You need 94 to make an A, so I missed an A by .4 of a percent. My school does not round up grades, otherwise I would have had an A. Is this a normal trend with other ...

I second the moving decimal point method, worked fine for me.

Two strikes and you are out in my school. I guess it's better than one failure and you are out. We do have to get a 90% minimum in med math to before we can go on clinicals though.

I underestimated the first semester and kind of fell behind. You really need to keep studying. I had a lot of catching up to do. It was a lot tougher than I expected.

We use this book at my school. I am not saying it's the best, but it's the only one I have. I am going to buy that incredibly easy one form Amazon as well.

CONGRATS!!!! Good for you, :balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons:

I am very interested in more info. I have the College Network NC1 study guide. I have been wondering if I could use it for the new test. From what you say, I guess I can. Can you tell us more?

It is now policy in my school to turn off cell phones in class. Turn off!!, not vibrate. During a recent pharm test, someones phone rang. She was asked to leave the room and forgo the exam. I make sure my phone is off now.

I just called Excelsior. I was told that the NC1 will stay the same under the new policy. LPN's will still skip NC2. NC3 will be divided into 2 parts, and both parts will be renamed. Additionally, there will 3 clinical competency assessments at a Pea...
