So I took it today and feel less than confident. I had about 130 questions. 10 select all that apply before I hit 75, no math. The last 20 or so were all priority (you come on shift which patient do you see first, you're a home health nurse all patients within 3 miles which do you see first). So I don't know what that means. I know the standard is to feel let down but I'm frankly nervous.

In this case I think it would have to the be the pt that can be cared for by the lpn/rn not the cnas. Like ones requiring some further assessment or skills. If there's more that one right away to you I would look between those and figure out who would go better with the lpn as oppposed to the rn (does the pt require advanced skill or does the situation deem someone who can handle a possible acute emergency) etc. Hope this helps some

I def. want to go into peds. Right now am doing a summer internship in peds oncology but might want to pursue a career within peds ed/icu

I'm currently 30 and one semester from fininshing my BS. I'd say most of the guys (all of 7) are mostly in late 20's, 1 is 21 now and there's 2 who are over 40.

I've seen a few varieties of bags that men carry. If it is one of thoe days that I have several classes and need those books I actually carry a tote bag of sorts (specifically the LLBean bags). Otherwise I tend to carry my bookbag because I find bringing the books sometimes distracts from the lcture. Also maybe you can arrange with a friend or 2 to split the book carrying so everyone brings some books and you share.

Get the HESI review book since it gives you a quick review of the areas and also has "hesi hints". The questions are similar to the NCLEX so it is always good to get a program like NCLEX 3500 (or the new 4000) and just do question after question. I have had to tae the HESI at the end of ever semester thus far and have been lucky toget above the 850. If you need any help pm me.

I think I would first show appreciation to the CNA doing the work. Then perhaps I would call a meeting and just see if there are any overall issues amongst the CNAs. Perhaps the one not doing the work will get the hint. Then I would approach that CNA and give him/her the oppurtunity to say what they need to say and follow through.

I would look into hospitals for some sort of part-time job within the field. I know in NY some hospitals are extremely flexible especially if you are attending nursing school. And the bonus with that is your gain skills and confident in the hospital and field as you are going through the program

I am thinking of going into PICU or NICU. I found during my clinical classes that I'm very good in those areas and that I do get good responses from parents in that area as opposed to maternity of pediatrics itself. However I ultimately want to go into teaching as I feel that male nursing teachers are far and few between but that is a goal I want to accomplished later on in my career.
