So I just found out today that I have an interview at a local ED in my city Jan 9, 1 week away!!! I am graduating in may so this will be my first interview for a REAL NURSING job. I have been researching alot on interview tips and I think I am freaki...

Great advice for the new grads entering the ER. Hopefully you have a great preceptor who will teach you you the ropes of the ER and nurture you and take you under their wing. Go in there with open eyes and ears and don't act like you know everythi...

Sickle cell patients are not the only ones who request Benadryl after receiving their pain meds... many people who have chronic pain from certain diseases also request benadryl not just sickle cell. I know it is very hard not to judge people who come...

I was working last week and one of the doc's read my nurses note and was extremely mad and ripped me a new one for writing, pt rates pain 5/10 MD aware, no nursing intervention at this time..... I mean I am a relatively new nurse, alittle over a yea...

If there was a PRN order written I would have given it to the patient. I think this particular Doc just like to fight with me over the littlest things, to try and make me look stupid in front of my co-workers so we go head to head at the doctors stat...

Hey guys I need some advice. I am a new nurse who started in the ED. I am a couple weeks off orientation. We have permanent charge nurses where I work and it seems to me like every time I work they seem to slam me with patients when the other nurses ...

So should I speak up and say something?? I just don't want to be "that new nurse" who everyone talks about who can't handle my own assignment and b*tches about things being unfair, especially when I am greener than grass! I jut say to myself that th...

The first time I did CPR on a real human was my last rotation in nursing school. They just threw me in with the rotation. I thought I was going to mess up because I have never done them before but when the time comes you get in like a CODE MODE and y...

Took my test on JULY 8 2pm 75 questions, found out on the BON website July 9 at 10 am so less than 24hours I found out I PASSED! God must have known I was freaking out!

all of my instructors in nursing school wore scrubs and a lab coat to clinical, they seemed practical and comfy!

Yea I was disappointed with Kaplans rationales. I feel like they need to explain more as to why my answer was wrong and theirs was right. Just keep doing them, I thought NCLEX was identical to how Kaplan asked their questions. Good Luck Studying!

So i went to take the test at 2pm today. I went in there with confidence that I WILL pass this test. I took it in an hour and 20 minutes and when I hit 75 the BLUE SCREEN came up. I am SCARED! I feel as though I needed more questions to prove myself....

ANyone else FREAKING OUT???? And I know I am not supposed to look at anything today at ALL but since I have been in school I always study up until the night before til I cant read anymore(which is usually 2am), wake up the day of the test at 6 am and...

GOOD LUCK! I took mine yesterday and PASSED with 75 questions. I think one of the only reasons I passed it because for once in my life i didn't let my anxiety get the best of me. I walked in there with confidence and all i kept saying on the whole ri...

ok it's almost 8 am and i do not test until 2. here are my feelings right now: scared: because this is the biggest test that i will ever have to take in my life, because i do not know everything about every disease and i am afraid that the stuff i kn...

YES ME 2! I test tomorrow at 2pm and my QT scores are all 60's, QT 7 63% I am hoping I know enough to pass tomorrow!!! Good LUCK!

Just wondering how they were to deal with. I am currently waiting for a stethoscope from that website that said he ships everything 2 day priority mail, and I ordered it on June 30th. Sent 2 emails and called and no response back for either. Keep che...

We were required to take the EXIT HESI and we had 2 times to take it. Throughout our 2 years at my school after every rotation we would have a hesi and what ever we got on that would count for 5% of our grade. If we didn't pass the exit hesi on the 2...

Yup Many of my friends are those 40 scholarship kids from Jeff. They shouldn't of gave out so many scholarships is they didn't have room to place them. We were the last year to get offered that scholarship, as of now. The nurse recruiter came to out ...

:ancong!:

I just wanted to make sure I am not getting scammed on, since I have never ordered from that cite before. I mean we do live in a world full of scamming so I wouldn't be suprised. I was just alittle suspicious because I e-mailed him twice and called ...

Just wondering, because I placed an order on June 30th and still have not received my stethoscope. Tried e-mailing the company twice and called once and I have yet to hear anything back from them. If anyone ordered from there can give me alittle insi...
