Chantilly

I have a Neuro test comming up and there is much confusion about Cushing's triad and reflex. I am also getting conflicting information about what Cushing's triad is, some resources say that it is widening pulse pressure, bradycardia, and hypertensio...

i did take my test in cali on the 12th and i found out on the 18th that i passed. so did you look? let me know if you passed!!!

Wow that is only 4 days!! EEkkk! It really snuck up on me and I am starting to worry that I didn't study as much as I could have. I have done in the area of 3,500 review questions, and my scores have been all over the place. I have to admit that I d...

Well after 6 long days of waiting, I got my results this morning and I passed! It seems as though all my praying has paid off! Good luck to everyone still waiting!! And thank you guys for all the support and encouragement!

Nothing today, but I am not sure why I was expecting to see my name there today because the CA BRN was closed the 12th and the 16th so today would only be the second business day after my test and they may be behind due to the closures for the holida...

I checked..but nothing there yet. The last update was from yesterday, so I am guessing that we may find out tomorrow if we are lucky. Good luck to you!

Still waiting. I am in CA and we do no have quick results. So hopefully if I passed I will find out Wednesday or Thursday. The waiting is torture!!

Ok so now that this whole thing is starting to sink in. I am starting to feel less than hopeful that I made it, I told myself I wouldn't do this. But the more I think about it the more likely I feel like I failed..I know everyone says that. And I am ...

Well...3 hours and 75 questions later (yes it really took me 3 hours to do 75 questions) I am done. How do I feel you may be wondering...I don't know how I feel. I don't feel bad about it, but I don't feel great about it either. There were things ...

Wow thanks for the good info. Some of was stuff that I hadn't really thought, hopefully it will help me out!

Thank you so much for your post! I test on Feburary 12th and so far everyday that passes just makes me feel less prepared and more anxious. I have thought about rescheduling my test but that will really get me no where, except for more anxious and m...

So I couldn't help but throw my in. I have noticed that the majority of male nurses I have had the pleasure of working with have been very caring, compassionate, and intelligent. They are so easy to work with, non of the cattiness that you can ten...

Well I think the title of the post was HILARIOUS as well...I took no offense, and I have given birth twice, and I must admit that when I was in labor I would not have cared if CNN were in there filming every minute of the expansion of my vagina...I j...

Lesson 1: Never, never assume it is just a fart when diapering a pt. you are most likely to be surprised to find out that it was really massive amounts of diarrhea. Lesson 2: Always make sure the IV tubing is hooked to the patient before starting th...

We don't have on in our program. However, I did do Advanced Med/Surg rotation this semester on an oncology floor. It really isn't that bad, but it is very sad at times and you do see some very young people who are very sick.

First I must admit that I think most of us have experienced less than pleasant nursing staff. But it is just a taste of what the real world has in store for us. Nurses can be snippy with each other and they can be extra snippy with students. The t...

I start my last semester of my ADN program THIS Monday!!! I know that I should be excited that I am almost done and that I am going to be working pretty soon, but I am sooooo nervous!!! I don't really worry about this semester itself, it is the whol...

:ancong!: Good Luck to you! I am sure it will be nerve wracking, but I wish you the best of luck! Keep us posted on how it goes for you.

Thanks for the advice. I am trying to hang in there...the anxiety is killing me though! Good luck with your new grad program...what floor will you be working on?

Just don't quit whatever you do!!! You are in this to better yourself, to do something you want to do, and the only person that is going to help you achieve your goals is you. So like the others have said lay low, stick to yourself and be the loane...

We lost 10 first semester...but for various reasons not all failing. We lost 1 second semester, and non during third semester. Like others have mentioned don't worry yourself with failing. It could turn out be a self fulfilling prophecy. The mor...

You will wind up making a great nurse since you are able to think under pressure. As for the common person on the street, it makes you wonder...I really hope that I am never involved in an accident unless someone quick thinking is around to help!! T...

Good for you!! I experienced something similar but the outcome was not nice. I was driving home one night on a well lit road, all of a sudden the car in front of me came to a complete stop so I slowed down and went around. At first I didn't think a...

I have a new favorite..it sounded weird at first, but then I made it and I loved it. I mix 1/2 can of tuna, 1/2 of an avocado, 1/2 cup of black beans, 1/2 of a tomato, 1/3 of a cucumber, 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, and then 1 tsp of dried basil or oreg...

I had a clinical instructor that had us give him report on our patients, and then we were supposed to tell him what we would have liked to do with that patient that the nurse did not do, would we have asked the doc for anything (change in meds, or an...
