South University has an online program and it only looks at the last 60 hours.

I live about 60 miles south of Corinth in a small town and the average 3bedroom rent is about $600. Local rural Hospital and Nursing home are playing between 19-22 an hour for 1 to 5 years experienced RN.

How did it go you you?

I brought a kaplan book and just practiced questions after questions.....

Got the official word, i am a rn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all y'all for the words of encouragement. I did reattempt NCLEX RN on 11/25/2013. 265 questions with the good pop up, now just waiting on the official pass to come.

I attempted my first NCLEX RN 10/5/2013 with 265 questions and a BIG FAT FAIL a few days later. I have reviewed a ton of NCLEX questions since then and am reattempting for the second time tomorrow. Any words of wisdom?

jclemons74 What area of Mississippi are you from? I am located in Northeast Mississippi area. Where are you at in the program?

[COLOR=#003366]jclemons74 I am thinking of doing clinical in the MPAC area because the South is to long of a wait time.

I am currently completing FCCA and getting all my information together for CPNE. BUT THE WHOLE TIME ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS THE CARE PLANS. I really need some help in this area if anyone would like to help. Thanks

I am enrolled in Excelsior LPN to RN program an d from Mississippi. Completing FCCA now and applying for CPNE in Jan2013.

I would not have a problem with OP's request to put medication in food (small amount). But I would also inform Patient that medications were in there spoonful of food I was trying to give. If accepted good!!! If still refusing MD would be notified...

Thanks for the Journal!!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes that 's the way we do it at our facility. The offgoing nurses looks at the sheets and tells the oncoming nurse the number of pills that should be in the card. the oncoming nurse looks at the cards and makes sure the number is correct. I am one of the few nurses at our facility thet reply to count with numbers most of the other nurses just say ok to every count on each card.

OK I am a nurse in LTC. I had my first child when I was 14 years old. (Even with parents in the same house) First child was a boy and almost 17 years old and no grandbaby.( THANK YOU JESUS) So now my daughter (Second Child) is 13 years old and I am just wanting everyone's opinion on when it is appropriate to start birth control for females. Don't get me wrong I am almost sure I have made my mind up about this but would love to hear everyone's pros vs cons about starting a 13 year old on birth control. here is a list of my own: Pros: Hopefully preventing teenage pregnancy The education that comes along with the process (She will probably listen to someone else more than me, being her parent) Cons; Is she going to see it as I am giving her the O.K. to have sex if I do put her on Birth control???? SN: Now let's get backgroung information on my daughter. She is a good child straight A student, Doesn't get to go to others house for sleepovers very often and is very well supervised by myself and her stepdad and grandpaw. Thanks

When I spoke with ANN she said the $115 covered the transcript fee. So maybe I won't have to pay anymore, I will see in a day or two.

Just scheduled this exam for June 16th... So wish me luck and any study suggestion are welcomed with opened arms....

Finished that with a 90 average on both exams...Thanks again for the help

Ok Thanks for the information I found the study guide after yalls help. Once again THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

I have paid for this course and received student Id and logged on to Penn Foster site. But My question is do I have to wait to get study materials in mail or is there a link on the college site that has the study information. Thanks so much in advance .....

Thanks!!!!

I paid for Health Safety and Transtitions exams yesterday. So I am on my way... I took the Health Safety Practice Exam A today and got a 63%. Is this good???? Thanks

Yes, Mississippi does accept Excelsior. Coworker just finished the CPNE and passed Nclex in Feb. this year. I have plans to enroll in May this year with nothing but Nursing exams left to complete.

Never be to Proud to ask another staff member "is this Mr. John Doe" until you remember faces of the residents. Then there is the problem you will incurr if you work a different shift then nights that some residents look totally different up and awake then asleep in the bed. You will get the hang of it.
