Preparing for NCLEX while working as a GN
I know it is nerve racking...but dont be scared. Many good NClex review guides are available. However, it will not benefit you to study specific content, rather prepare yourself to be very comfortable with the different types of questions asked on the NCLEX. The thing I do recommend that you review prior to testing are common lab values such as dig levels, potassium, bun, bnp, acetamenophen max daily doses. I tested in June. GOOD LUCK TO YOU

What's In Your Pocket?
on my unit, hemostats are a must. We have many patients with chest tubes. And it's always nice to have them when experienced nurses who think they dont need anything but their pen call on you for your tools.

New nurse vs Dr. blues
I am a new grad with only 2 1/2 months experience on the IMC unit. I love the nurses, they have been great and truly work as a team and are ready to help/teach at any time. However, the DR's stink. Most are rude, inconsiderate and hate new nurses. I have become so intimidated by them that it is all I can do when I have to speak to one on the phone or in person. How can I overcome this?

Preparing for NCLEX while working as a GN
I took the NCLEX monday... PASSED!!! The only prep that will do any good is to be be comfortable with the types of questings they ask such as "select all that apply" I like to prefer to those as "select all that i know apply"...LOL Studying content will not help. There is not enough time or energy in the world to cover all that may be asked. I walked out feeling completely overwhelmed. You have to depend on you critical thinking ability and judgment not knowledge of content. Good LUCK!! You'll do great

Can someone recommend a good clinical drug calculation book?
Wong is wonderful it was my text for peds. We used Clinical Calculations A Unified Approach 5th edition. It teaches the dimensional analysis way of calculating which to me makes it much more difficult. I strongy suggest learning ratio proportion...It makes it so much simpler.

HESII Exam
Thanks, Robin, That helps my feelings... we take the test only once...and it is not an exit exam but an exam grade that it averaged with our GPA. However, they scared up to death. I scored 919...wish it was better but at least it is passing. Thanks again, Sherrie
