   Hey Kare, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you, I'm moving so it is kinda crazy here. I do not have my schedule yet, but will get back to you as soon as I do. Any word from school? Jess

2. acid-base status question:

   jessrobyn replied to GingerSue's topic in General Students

   That is compensated resp acidosis. If you can find an article call Making ABGs as easy as ABC or Making ABGs childs play. I can not remember the exact name, but it gives a really good break down. It teaches you the tic-tac-toe method. Once you get it...

3. Questions about the Nclex exam

   jessrobyn replied to med1996's topic in NCLEX

   I just took it 6/2/07, and it was not that bad. I would say do as many practice questions you can. I took two review courses before, an on line one and the Don Anderson class ( in MA, don't know where you are). If you see when doing the questions you...

   jessrobyn replied to Cutiepie612's topic in Massachusetts

   I do not know about CT schools. In MA your best bet is to go to a private school. All the state schools wait list. Private schools are more $$, but the way I look at it time is $$. If you have you pre-reqs done it will be easier to get in. Good luck,...

   Hi Kare, I had it on Monday, and I think it went well. Just waiting to hear. It was on the second floor, the pcu (telemetry). It is killing me to wait too. I hope we both hear this week! Jess:balloons:

    Hi Kare- My only tip is organization. I worked about 60 hrs per week up until my last semester, It can be done. Did you already take your pre-reqs?

    jessrobyn replied to jmw12's topic in Massachusetts

    WackyJ- Yes you can work. I worked 60 hrs per week and could still do it. It is a lot of work though. Take Joan B's test taking skills, She helped me so much. Try to be as organized as possible and you will be fine. Jess

    Thank you Kare- I lived in the north shore my whole life, then I met this guy and married him. So long story short, I have only lived around here for 8 mths and know no one. Do you like working at St Luke's? Any pros and cons you want to send my way?...

    jessrobyn replied to jmw12's topic in Massachusetts
