  1. CHF, BNP & cardiac ?s

    onyx77 replied to onyx77's topic in General Nursing

    There is no diagnosed lung or kidney disease. BUN and Creat were both normal. I was pretty sure that myopathies aren't cured, but why would the chest x-ray show that there is no myopathies? That is...

  2. Moral Dilemmas

    onyx77 replied to happyhelpert's topic in General Nursing

    Just my opinion - it shouldn't really matter. As a nurse I may disagree with one's lifestyle, but they are requiring care and as a nurse that is my duty. It shouldn't matter if I don't agree with...

  3. Anyone work for the VA?

    onyx77 replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    I was glad to see this post on here. I have been recently questioning the same thing. My father has been trying to persuade me to apply to the local VA hospital in our area. My problem is that I have...

  5. Testing the new nurse?

    onyx77 replied to papergirlRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank goodness you are able to think further into things than this other nurse. I would hate to have her giving me or any of my family members medications. I would hate to see what she requests for...

  6. Testing the new nurse?

    onyx77 replied to papergirlRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Given the information that you gave, I would have done the same thing you did. If he had a BM the day before and was schedule with other meds for his bowels then it was obvious that the PRN MOM wasn't...

  7. What's everyone's definition of Natural Childbirth?

    onyx77 replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Hurst Review for NCLEX RN...anyone???

    onyx77 replied to SoulShine75's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just make sure that you study the proper way. Reveiw and repeat the core content. As the instructor probably told you - you should be able to lecture on the core content and understand WHY things...

  9. hurst review

    onyx77 replied to deemarie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the Hurst Review and found it very valuable. It wasn't just a reveiw course (although the 'core content' is strongly covered) but they help you learn how to answer the questions. They offer a...

  10. Any help on calming down

    onyx77 replied to sstars's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    DON"T WORRY!!! It was something that our instructor told us to reassure us IF our test went over 75 questions. Most of the people that I know that have had 75 questions passed. Don't worry about it!...

  11. Any help on calming down

    onyx77 replied to sstars's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your welcome! And thank you - I passed! Another thing you need to due when you get to the testing center and start your test, is to pretend that you're taking a regular exam for school. It worked for...

  12. Online Nursing Drug Guide?

    onyx77 replied to 2bNurseTimTin's topic in General Nursing

    Another good site is drugdigest.com. You can enter all your meds in and it will give you any interactions. It has some other stuff on it too, but I have only used this site to check for medication...

  13. What's everyone's definition of Natural Childbirth?

    onyx77 replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I always thought I had a natural delivery when I had my son. I didn't have ANY medications, but they did have to break my 'bag' as it didn't rupture on its own even though I went into labor on...

  14. Nclex

    onyx77 replied to Sweet T's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    She has a sticky in the NCLEX section. I have seen some of her posts that she says she will only respond to PMs. I did not use her plan, but I have read many good things about it. The Hurst review can...

  15. Any help on calming down

    onyx77 replied to sstars's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have the same problem - you should have seen me right before I tested. My hands were shaking SO bad!!! Try not to think about it. Study often and repeat your studies, do practice questions (esp. on...

  16. Took the exam today!!!!

    onyx77 replied to OUSN0812's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We were told that the worse you feel walking out of the testing center - the better you did. Not sure how I feel about that because I certainly felt horrible about my 100 questions and my friend felt...

  18. Paying for Nursing School

    onyx77 replied to jbjorn2b's topic in General Nursing

    I only have $100 of intrest for 4 years. Not really all that bad. I did however go to a Technical College so, it will be different for the private schools. You also have the option of paying that...

  19. Paying for Nursing School

    onyx77 replied to jbjorn2b's topic in General Nursing

    I quite working and took out student loans. It is a great way to take out a loan - low intrest rate - don't have to 'pay' until you're done with school. You can fill out the Fafsa forms online and...

    onyx77 replied to sunny2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  25. Where should the BUBBLE Be

    onyx77 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that does make sense, it is just different from what I've been taught. It certainly is interesting to see the differing views on this. I looked it up in my drug book and it didn't say either...
