I sit for this test on Jan 31. If anyone has advice on how or what to study I greatly need it. I'm working full-time which leaves me not much time to study. Say a prayer for me and THANKS!!!!!

Any tips on NC 7, feeling a little overwhelmed with the amount of info to memorize instead of apply???? Thanks! Kenzy

Scholarship date's for Excelsior are in Oct. and in Jan. You can apply once a year or twice, but only once is needed unless you missed the first. I would either call them for an application or download one from their site. I personally have receiv...

In the unit that I worked for it was my understanding that the Insurance companies paid for a new dialyzer each Tx. regardless if the pt. was on reuse or not. We were encourage to suggest that the pt. go on reuse, so that the unit I guess could bene...

I did the same as you, looked and looked until finally I called EC. I was told that in the ASN program there is no course work just exams. However I thought I would mention to you that there is a CLEP exam for life span, not sure if this is a route y...

Coldfoot, I'm with you, I just studied for the A&P test using both Chancellors and TCN book. I found that Chancellors was a lot less material to look over, but had everything I needed. However one of the good things about TCN was the amount of ...

Thanks for all the advice and support to everyone who took the time to reply to this thread, I passed the A&P test today. Miracles really do happen!!!!:balloons::balloons:

Not sure where to post this! But if you have any advice for me on Excelsiors A&P test please let me know. Any advice will help. I have two weeks to prepare for this test and am scared to death. :smackingf

drysolong, I take the test in 2 weeks, waited till the last minute to study, any advice? I have both the TCN and chancellor study guides any suggestions on what to really concentrate on? Thanks!!!

chill1965, One quick question? What was the best way that you studied for the A&P test? I take the test in 2 weeks, and to no fault of my own just picked up the book, Needless to say I am so overwhelmed and screwed to say the least. If I may...

Thanks for the advice. I will definetly be looking into it!. As far as your question in our state Tech's. can not administer any medications, not even tylenol. Thanks for your help.

ok, thanks, but just one more question, what will they do with me personal/ sick time aquired?, no one has said anything about a union or not.

Thank you so much for your advice, but my real concern is that we are really over staffed at the time, 6 Rn's, 1 Lpn and 4 Tech, and a D.O.N., for a 12/chair unit, and only 2 shifts. If someone had to go now, I feel they probably would keep the RN's ...

I also work for RCG and Fresenious is coming to look at our small 12/chair unit this month to buy. I am an LPN and have been told that they only hire RN's and Tech's. Does anyone know if this is true? I've worked there for 2 years straight out of nur...

Wondering and praying for you, please let us know where your at with this situation. No matter what your decision is no one will or has the right to judge you, so dont feel bad about what you decided to do, just let us know that you are ok. :icon_...

Did our health system fail us?, or was it a case of many people not taking the time to do their job or did they just not take the threats seriously. Either way could this have been prevented? Last night on dateline MSNBC they had the story of John Hy...

I think you may have misinterpreted the word Detain for the word Restrain. The word Datain means to keep from proceeding, where as the word Restrain means to be held against ones will, to hold back or be held back, to control, limit, or restrict. So ...

Its funny you think in a career where documentation is everything, that they would automatically give you a copy of your evaluations, but beleive it or not they dont. When I was in school after signing my evaluation the first time I asked for a copy...

I'm always amazed at the quotes found here under the premium users. I would look there if needed, theres some great ones, not just for nursing but life itself. :)

I was taught to do exactly the same as NatKat, thus far no problems!, and God willing there will not be, however unlikely.:)

Not Surprised, and have seen this done on the last day of clinical and the day before graduation. The whole point here is time is of the essence for you, and you must act quiclky. I agree with following the chain of command 100%, but unfortunately ...

Wow, bad incident, great topic, and your definetly between a rock in a hard place, but you alone should not carry this weight on your shoulders which obviously you are when your preceptor tells you to keep your mouth shut, and probably went along wit...

Trudyrn, I have many times spoke with my advisor over this issue and have gotten no where. For some reason the classes I have taken for one reason or another have not qualified. Even though the course discription where the same, also all the main c...

diabo, wow great point! In our unit we give saltine crackers, pickles, or apple juice. never really questioned it, due to the fact that they were doing this long before I started, but you bet I will now. Goes to prove the fact that everything done...

crissrn27, I have a habit of typing in caps lock, so I dont have to worry about capitalization, not a good typer be any means. I never realized until this post that it did this, and by that time it was to late to change it. I guess now I'll have to...
