  1. Stethoscope!

    The Limey replied to Anna4505's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Jascouniforms.com has the best prices online i've found for steths. I have the Classic II and it's

  2. NCLEX-PN Level of difficulty in comparison to your study book.

    The Limey posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Due to take my NCLEX-PN pretty soon and I'm just curious how difficult it was in comparison to the questions in your study book. It seems that every study book is different and some books are...

  3. NCLEX-PN Level of difficulty in comparison to your study book.

    The Limey replied to The Limey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oops, forgot about this thread. Well, I took the NCLEX and passed with the minimal questions. Lots of questions in my weak areas - maternity, growth and development, and meds I'd never heard of - but...

  4. Help, starting Excelsior General Ed

    The Limey replied to GinoLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There will be 8 nursing exams instead of 7. Along with the CPNE there will be 3 more required clinical "tests" - managing multiple patients, interacting with a disciplinary team, A head to toe...

  5. nclex 3/15, last minute advice for review

    The Limey replied to dalegirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Look up stuff that you've heard of but aren't sure about - Dx tests, Labs, Disorders, etc - anything that you know that you don't know. I did this, just looking up random things, and I had several...

  6. Living in CT!

    The Limey replied to gemerald's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I've actually met a few people who own houses in upstate new yory but work for agencies in CT, work for a few days, then take their money back home with them. Something to

  7. Charting Bloopers

    The Limey replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have to confess *raises hand* I'm a new grad, I removed a Pt's staples from his head, then charted on it. Instead of writing dehiscence I wrote: "7 Staples removed from left side of scalp. No signs...

  8. Coming up for air....

    The Limey replied to The Limey's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just got this e-mail back from

  9. Coming up for air....

    The Limey posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I literally just graduated, passed NCLEX-PN and landed a job at a sub-acute center where I've been for a little over 2 weeks and loving it. Just enough time to come up for some air before diving back...

  10. Need Excelsior Clarification

    The Limey replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BigKenny pretty much covered it. The prices you listed are for the exams only. You don't have to purchase the study guides from Excelsior, but if you do then that's extra. For example, English...

    The Limey replied to NurseEllis's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations! And good luck with the

  12. Are you Man Enough to be an OB nurse?

    The Limey replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't think it's entirely appropiate for men to work in OB in nursing. Not because they aren't competent, but because of the comfort level for the patient (and the family). If I were a gambling man...

  13. Living in CT!

    The Limey replied to gemerald's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I don't know about any others but Apple HealthCare doesn't pay good. I worked as a nurse's aide there whilst going through LPN school. They start aides at somewhere around $10 an hour (I think I...

  14. How has Distance Learning affected your career/education in the future?

    The Limey posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just finished LPN school, (still to take the NCLEX), and I've been thinking about which route to take to get my RN all this time. I'm very much leaning toward EC. I really hate the idea of going...

  15. Two business days for the results?

    The Limey replied to CARE4PEDS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the test on thursday 8th feb at 8am, just got my results today (saturday, 10am) so yes, you should be able to get your unofficial quick results

  16. Can you recomend me the best book or review material

    The Limey replied to homer_miranda's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX Exam Cram books are terrible!!! For the review book there are countless spelling and grammatical errors. Numerous FACTUAL errors.. one I recall is the book tried to convince me that the...

  17. Excellent books just discovered!

    The Limey replied to *Andrea*'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX-PN Made Incredibly Easy. It goes through each of the systems, and begins each one with a little A&P reminder. Then there's a 'cheat sheet' which is basically a list of the disorders with...

  18. Excellent books just discovered!

    The Limey replied to *Andrea*'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are a lot of good books out there, and many of them cater to your specific needs. I read a lot of posts here by people asking "which book is the best?" or questions along similar lines. The...

    The Limey replied to The Limey's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hmm.. anybody have any insight or opinions on this? (in other words: "bump")

  20. Family Members

    The Limey replied to vonxojn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm sure her goal of the day wasn't to deliberately anger you. Remember that disease affects family members as well as the patients, and it's our jobs as nurses to also care for them; a patient's...

  21. Exam Cram ExamForce CD CAT problem

    The Limey posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just installed the ExamForce CramMaster software that came with the NCLEX-PN practice question book from Exam Cram (Rinehart, Sloan, Hurd) and it doesn't work. After selecting an answer for the...

  22. The nursing process is driving me crazy!

    The Limey replied to Ltorres5351's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think 24K is expensive for an LPN program, but then I've been attending a state technical school so it's been around 5K for me. You should look further into the costs of an RN program. I believe...

  23. What are you going to do after you pass NCLEX? I'M GOING TO DISNEY LAND

    The Limey replied to nurse414's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations Nurse Dehnert! As soon as I pass the NCLEX I'm firing off my resume to get a job and start working to pay off the debt I've accumulated in

  25. LPN or ADN? Help!

    The Limey replied to Nursie82's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm attending the LPN program at Vinal, due to graduate in January. It's a great program and the instructors are awesome, so I think if you did decide to take the LPN route first then you wouldn't...
