started applying online to a bunch of hospitals a month before graduation. even if it didn't say "NEW GRAD/GRADUATE NURSE, ETC." in the job title, i still applied. i prayed...A LOT! finally heard back from ONE hospital a month after graduation and that is where i am. new grad in the ED. only one hospital called me back. i had several interviews with recruiters, nurse educators, nurse managers, etc. at this hospital..and each time i reminded myself, this could be my only chance.

thanks a lot!

what Keen brand in particular?

i did the online Hurst Review to brush up on my content. thought the review was excellent! everyone else in my class did kaplan, but i knew i needed content review and not just questions. her practice questions were kind of easy, so i used another source for that. passed the first time w/ 75 questions. i highly recommend it!

got the good pop-up and was waiting for quick results, but the BON already has my name up. yaaaay! i'm a believer.

took the test this morning as well! 75 questions, a little over 2 hours for me...bunch of SATA, meds (ugggh!), and infection control. got the good pop up! yay! praise God! :)

taking mine for the first time thurs feb 4 @8am EST

i started volunteering 2 years ago (before i started nursing school). i just got my cna licsence last week and talked with the unit director about the cna float pool. she said she's going to make some calls for me and if the float pool doesn't have an opening, she'll make one on her floor for me! definitely a great idea and a good way to network!

I'm stumped! :uhoh21: Please help.... A Heparin solution with a strength of 20,000 U in 500 mL of D5W is ordered to infuse at a rate of 1000 U/hr IV with an administration set that delivers 60 drops/mL. Calculate the drip rate in drops/minute. Answer= 25 drops/minute Thanks in advance!
