CrazyScrubNurse BSN, RN

OK I know this sounds stupid but I have a friend that gets really freaked out before big tests like finals, HESI, NCLEX, and usually we get together and a few days before I start throwing out random facts at her. On 2 different tests she said the onl...

Hey guys, I am getting picked up by the chemical plant that I have been working at for several months through a staffing agency. It is a large worldwide coorporation. I am the only RN here at this site. I do have 3 paramedics and we have a doctor ...

I am!!

Hey all, OK I have just totally worked myself up into a tissy by trying to look for this question on an EMS website.....as an RN...BAD IDEA!! They are so full of themselves that you can't even get the content because they are talking about how they ...

AS AN RN???? If so baby u need to cross your western border and come over here to Texas!!!! The GNs fresh out of school, are starting out at $23- $24 an hour!

Just wondering which one you thought was harder? I took HESI exit and made a 986 and 850 is passing. They say it means there is a 99% chance I will pass NCLEX but I am still worried about it. IF you have taken both in the last couple of months wil...

:nurse:Hey guys, A few of our 4th level (graduating in a month) RN students are having a MAJOR problem right now and would like to poll other students to see how everyones school uses HESI. Here is a short rundown of how our school is using it: We ha...

I started a "Random Fact Throwing" thread for NCLEX but all of the info is the same for HESI so check out that thread there are so many pages of random fact that were sent in that it was super helpful! I will tell you what I noticed about HESI though...

Love ya girl...keep your head up!!

Oh my favorite.... House super calls (from the OR desk extension) on a Saturday morning saying that the borrowed instruments for the big ortho case in an hour are here and when you ask if they are ready and sterile you can actually hear her unlatchin...

I LOVE OR STORY TIME...... OK I have one... We had this ENT who was older than DIRT and would bring his can of diet coke in the OR everyday even though we told him over and over that he could not have it in the OR. He left it in the room between cas...

OK I took both HESI and NCLEX and our school had the same drama that all of yours are having. Here is what I came up with NCLEX was a freakin JOKE compared to HESI!!!!! I did very well on HESI but most of my class has taken both and agrees, HESI wa...

Just an NCLEX observation.... I don't know about anyone elses test but let me give you a little insight on mine. NOTHING on my test was extremely specific. What I mean is there was no question about what specific level the fractured spine was at. ...

Yeah well I have been an RN for a total of like 18 hours now so I wouldn't consider myself a real authority of any subject. I knew Vitamin K was the antidote, I just never have to use it in my job setting so I was not really clear on trade name. Sorr...

"Antidote for Coumadin- Aquamephyton" OK FYI...Aquamephton is also known as Vitamin K. It kinda freaked me out seeing it and I looked it up in Davis' Drug Guide. I am kinda tired of feeling like a storage box for medical information.....how about you...

We were told both in school AND in hospital orientation that this is a HUGE NO NO!!!!!!! We were told that an RN in no way was to take an order from anyone but another NURSE/PA or of course the Doc. If it were me I would ask for a title before any o...

I used Saunders 4th ed to review stuff that I was not confient about or needed a review on ---> cancer, chemo, radiation chapter...READ IT! I also would suggest reading the CV chapter and also the AIDS stuff. I used the Sunders Q&A book also...

OMG I just found out that I PASSED NCLEX!!!!!! I wanted to say thanks for all of your quik facts and for keepin this thread going!!!

You guys are so funny. This battle has been going strong since the designation of the two titles I am sure. And it will NEVER end. The point is, there are good RN's and bad, there are good LVN's and bad. Heck I have even seen some Nurse Aides who k...

OK do you have to have just one? Dereased cardiac output r/t decreased stroke volume ineffetive tissue perfusion :cardiac, renal r/t complications of chronic disease process (DM)

Yes, I live in Texas and we have the quick vue thingie. I gave my best pal from nursing school my log-in info so that she can look in the morning and call me with the results...I just can't look! I will let ya know!

I took it yesterday at 2pm. I can absolutly say without a doubt that I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I DID. aaagggghhh usually I have a pretty good feeling of how I did on a test....but not that one!

OMG I am freakin out now... I had 10 med calculations like 6 of them were the mcg/kg/day sort of questions IS THAT BAD???? What did Suzanne say about med calc because I missed that? My test ended with 75 questions 10 med calc, 11 SATA, and LOTS of ...

Nclexxx...our book did say treat the CAUSE of the DIC. I have not seen anything that said that Heparin was a common treatment for DIC. Have you seen this as the correct answer for an NCLEX question? Just so I will know. I am VERY aware that the rea...
