stdntograd06 BSN, RN

On Medscape, they have CE's and LOC's. What's the difference and do the LOC's count for PA's CEU credits for nurses? Thanks!

Does the $34 Unlimited CE membership on nurse.com cover the courses or do you have to pay for the courses on top of the membership fee?

I took my PN exam in 2007, and got married 3 months later. Had my name changed to my current married name. Done. NOW, I am graduating next week as an RN, and registered on Person Vue to take the NCLEX exam. THE ISSUE...is at first I could not registe...

I work on a PCU unit (cardiac and stroke primarily) with 16 beds. The charge RN on days does not take an assignment unless it is unavoidable, then is only 1. The charge RN on nights takes up to 2. We make $1 more/hr. Some days I think even that is n...

I have to do a project as an alternative to a precepted clinical for my BSN course. It is the preferred option for those working full-time, which I do. My proposal is due tomorrow by midnight and I'm having a hard time coming up with titles for my p...

I am taking this RN to BSN course and my current class is Trauma/CCU nursing. I have this case study to do in which I have to answer some questions about it. Now I've read all the chapters assigned and this particular case study is on Shock. One of t...

Thank you! This information will definitely help me in this course to understand the content!

Wondering if any of you cardiac/CCU nurses can tell me what this may be... My husband's coworker was found unconscious earlier this week at work and when the EMS arrived they immediately went into CPR/defib, IV drugs, etc...but they also put a device...

I recently had a patient admitted for CP r/o ACS and this pt was stable otherwise. Relatively young, good health, non-smoker, no cardiac history. History of high anxiety due to losing house and everything in fire, then Hurricane Sandy took it all awa...

I can relate to so many of these responses. I am a relatively new RN (been one for a year now). Before that I was an LPN for 6 years. I find myself questioning a lot of what I do, asking my seasoned coworkers for assurance on things I'm sure I should...

I am graduating in May 2013 as an RN (A.S. degree). What I need is review of my resume and any suggestions. I "think" I have it ok now (have done many changes, rewording, etc..), but I know with all the wonderful nurses on here, I can get some advic...

Has anyone had the experience of having 6 (SIX) physicians working in the same hospital with the same name, spelled exactly the same??? (And no, they are not related), LOL!!! How did you handle this? Keep them all straight?? Wondering if this is so...

I've had them on for about an hour and my feet do move up and down a little when I walk. I'm not sure about the "flip-floppy" feeling. I like to feel like my shoes are fit securely on my feet. Like I said in my post, the next size up had quite the ga...

Ok, I went and bought my first pair of Danskos today , but now that I'm home, I feel like they're pretty tight . Is it just me 2nd guessing myself after paying $108 (after a 20% discount)??? I have little feet and got the smallest size (35), because ...

I PASSED !!!! :) !!!!!!!!!

I am very stressed about taking this exam on Tuesday! I feel like I've studied a lot and the next minute I feel like I haven't studied nearly enough! Took the ATI Live Review the last semester, and doing all their practice tests and LR tests, doing ...

I couldn't stand it anymore and just tried to register to take it again and I get a pop-up box stating their records state I already registered to take that exam...is that good news???

Took the exam this morning, took my time (maybe too much on some questions)...I feel sooo sure I failed it. The computer shut off at 75 questions but I had SATA questions right after the other...! . You miss one option and you get the whole question ...

What is the PVT? I take the NCLEX in 3 days....stressed

If you get *****************- she's great! Makes it fun and interactive:)

I took it just last month and yes, I feel better about studying for the NCLEX now. I had taken the ATI Comprehensive Predictor prior to the live review and did well, but after the review, I took it again and did even better! It was included in my las...

I am graduating May 4th (YAY!!!!!!! ). I want to take the NCLEX soon after that. I am willing to join a group. I live in PA and don't currently work so my available hours are pretty open :) PM me for my email :) Thanks! ~ Kelly

Oh, also- what are your thoughts on portfolios? I'm seeing and hearing more and more that employers are looking for these? If so, any ideas, suggestions or examples of yours? Thanks a bunch!! Kelly

Hello all, I graduate in 58 days (May 4th, 2013) and am looking for a job!!!! I am already an LPN, have been since 2006. I've worked full time, then stopped to go to school, now working just PRN (but not much at all) while in school. My plea is for ...

I've been an LPN for 2 years now and also work agency with General Healthcare Resources. I want to get my RN but my husband is in school also for his RN so I have little choice but to do it online if I'm going to do it at all. I went to EC's websit...
