nursing 101

I never understand why people/nurses show up to work sick. In all the non-nursing and nursing jobs that I have had nurses would show up to work sick, clock in, take report and then turn around and say i am sick....Administration does not care!!! Beca...

My friend you said it all....we are the backbones of any facility, Hospital, office...Act like it! but nope most of us get pushed around, terrorized and even ostracized by other nurses when we try to stand up. My hospital has a union, boy it's not th...

I am with you. You made the effort to go in but you got stuck in the snow. End of story. I understand that we are emergency personnel but we have to make sure that we aren't another casualty as well. No one will care but your family and friends. Nurs...

It's an earned title and anyone who has it should use...period! If physicians don't like it, they should introduce themselves as the following:" Hello, I am doctor so and so, with a medical degree"... no confusion there!

Well I didn't pass the AANP. I just wanted to give an overview of the questions I had. I had alot of specific pharm questions, like if you are allergic to cipro and a erythromycin and tetracycline what do you give for bacterial pneumonia. Exact dosag...

Just wanted to know if you did find any good books. I'm in the same predicament. If i find a good one I will let you know.

Hi everyone, I just took the first day of live review with Kaplan and I am not content with it. All we did was questions. Thank God I won a scholarship from them. Since I don't want to waste my time an take the exam several times I am thinking about ...

Hi all, I have quick and easy question if you took the HESI as your exit exam. Was it similar to the cd-study guide they have for students or was it much more harder? thanks

Sorry... for some reason I missed this answer. Try not to be nervous... I think that helped me alot. My second exam was just as hard as the first. I only scored a couple a points more. Most of my classmates have said that their exam was easy, but whe...

Hey everyone, I passed.... :):)

Very happy for you... I am going in about 3 weeks... Blessed for some reason I could not answer you. But I am studying, right now I feel redundant in the info... Like deja vu. I am tired and cranky... and I have to stop working so I can focus on stud...

Well I missed it by 25 points... How many bloody questions is that?? lol! Oh well gotta get back to studying. One thing about the AANP, they are on top of everything when it comes to paperwork. They already received my retake application and all.

I already sent everything in on Monday/ 3 days after. I did all the CE's from their website and sent in everything on Monday. I sent in a paper application. I want to test asap. I don't know my score yet. I don't even know if I want to know. Hope thi...

Hi, Why not do both? Apply and wait for your current school. It won't hurt. Whoever you get an answer from first will be the one. Hope this helps... Nursing 101

Thanks for posting Blessed...:) I had the barkley and fitzgerald cd's, for books I had the barkley review manual, fitzgerald, leik and zerwekh questions. My anxiety level was very high, it got worse when I saw those type of pharm questions. I hope I ...

I didn't pass either and I posted a new thread before I saw this one. I wish I had a study group... It was alot of in-depth questions. So I guess you have to master and not just know it. I am gonna get ready for round 2. I don't wanna wait. Are you g...

Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies... By the time I read the replies I had already purchased the home barkley review. I called to cancel but the lady swore up and down that they were shipped already. Oh well... I'll try to sell them later if they a...

I am sorry but "the economy" is not an excuse for people to be rude to others. This is happenning to everyone at all levels and in all professions. It feels like a jungle right now where everyone is dismissing the others feelings. I understand that y...

Hi guys, I am having a tough time trying to figure out which review to go by. Does anyone recommend Barkley? I have the Fitzgerald Cd's from 2004 with the book, the Hollier book, the winland-Brown book and ANCC Family book... I was wondering if that ...

I work on a transplant floor and we do alot of whipples (SICU)... The honest truth is that they are a 50/50 chance. The good thing with your wife is that she is young. But I have seen young and old people suffer from this. You can never really tell w...

Which one is better? Has anyone have both. Which is closer to the actual n-clex?...

Hi guys, I was out of town for awhile, after writing everything that I am juggling I felt overwhelmed...lol! I think I will be taking it in January.... I received the dvd's real fast from Dr Laura and I have started to watch some. I think it really h...

Hi guys, I have been "mia" for awhile because I have been taking courses towards my masters. But I have decided to study for the CCRN again. I am doing classes part time and online. Do you think it is realistic to study for the CCRN for the next 6 mo...

I am interested in totally online as well but how do you the clinicals portion for these schools do you have to set up your own prceptorship? Thanks for any answer!

In ACLS you learn what to do exactly in a code situation, you know everybody's roles, who leads the code ect. You know the meds and which meds they give for whatever the patient is going through. That is why you must know the different algorythms and...
