Wanting to know how many people are currently studying for the NET? The NCLEX-RN? The NCLEX-PN? How much time do you spend studying? What are you doing to study for it?

I realize everyone has to find thier own method, but I'm looking for other study methods so I can experiment and tweak mine.

Currently the totals are (possibilities are counted): ER 8 ICU 8 Flight Nursing 3 CRNA 4 FNP 2 OB/L&D 6 NICU 3 Peds 3 LTC 2 OR2 Orthopaedics 1 Addiction/Recovery 1 Med-Surg 2 Psych 2 Corrections 1 Oncology 1

ER. I also like the ICU. I started externing as soon as I could in the ICU at one facility. At another I started in OR and hated it. So I transfered to ER. Love it there. I might want to fly someday. I would want my Acute Care NP before I start...

A little clarification on this. If you plan on North Dakota being your primary licensing state you are required to have a BSN to take the NCLEX for licensure in this state. If you were licensed in another state previously, you can appeal to the boa...

I have a few that I wrote up on my website. Tatiana's Studio

My program you have to call before test time. You can only miss one test per class. Instead of a retake, the final counts twice. If you miss more that one test then you recieve a 0 for the second, third, fourth... tests.

One of the RNs I work with used to be an LPN. She got tired of doing almost the same work as an RN (in her state she could do everything except IV pushs). She got tired of doing all the work without all the pay so she went back to school for her RN...

LOL. I sprained my ankle when I was 15yo. My mother took me to the local ED for xrays just to make sure it wasn't broken. They have an ambulance bay and a private vehicle drive. My mother picked the closest non-handicap parking spot(which wasn't t...

I have a chem degree. Personally I think nursing school is a lot more common sense stuff. I can't tell that there's more work to do. I had all those nasty lab reports due. Both nursing and chem uses APA format. I do all my dosage calculations by...

I use the Visor Neo. It uses AAA batteries. I find this is very useful as I often don't have time to recharge it.

National Student Nurses Association annual convention is in Phoenix, Arizona this year.

My problem with mine is I try to keep too much information on mine. I need one with a bigger memory. Other than that I love it.

My favorite is http://www.emsguides.com

I'm trying to go. If we can raise the money.

We did bed baths without real water plus the "patient" kept thier clothes on. In health assessment my partner was a male. When we got to the breast exams, he was more embarressed than I was.

I'm in the same city as MemphisPanda, but a diffrent program. Accu check thing: Bedside glucose testing is a laboratory test according to our state. Licensed nurses (RNs, LPNs) have to be certified by the laboratory to perform bedside glucose testin...

The rumor I heard was that the new computer testing centers had to have sound capabilities. This makes me think that at some point they will introduce heart/lung/bowel sounds. Remember: 15 out of 75 questions are pilot questions that you will NOT be...

1. I think this is a common misconception among ELDERLY people. They are so used to growing up doctors were males and nurses were females. 2. If she is confused, the most she will remember is a few minutes or an hour (depends on the level of confus...

An ER nurse here in town a few years ago got fired after allowing someone to bring in a primate (I can't remember if it was a gorrilla, orangutange, chimpanze, or what) into the ER because it wasn't breathing and starting CPR on the animal.

Since when??? Here they pay for your funeral costs after a year or cremation. Your family's choice.

Also look to see if accrediation is pending and when it will happen. My school was not accredited when I started, but 1 year after I started they did finish the accredidation process. I was actually on the panel of night students who talked to the ...

Most places in order to avoid the "graverobber" stigma only takes bodies of people who have arrianged to donate thier body BEFORE thier death. I had a patient in the nursing home that had arrainged to donate her body. She wore a medic alert bracele...
