the patient asks if you would like the light to be turned on and you casually say no, I see in the dark . . . when breakfast occurs at 5:30 pm . . . and lunch at 2:30am . . . when you fall asleep in your driveway only to be woken up by the noise of children leaving for school, school buses and dogs barking

I did sign up for Kaplan on 6/10 after I picked my test date of July 1. I had always heard that Kaplan was about strategies and the lessons are, but to my surprise - very pleasant surprise - there are videos that go over each of the areas as well. I have done the diagnostics and the Qtrainers through 6 and have been in the 60s. The videos have touched on everything - its like having nursing school shoved into 21 hours of video review. Qbank is also a nice resource. 3 weeks is alittle tight to be working through the entire Kaplan program but I feel like I am progressing and things are good. Thanks for the responses.

I used the online resources from the HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN book to study for the HESI. I also have the book but haven't used it much. I started studying about 4 days before I took the test. I was originally scheduled for a clinical conference on the same day as our HESI and I was going to miss it. To my surprise at the last minute, they changed the day the HESI was scheduled and I was required to take it. I passed with a 972. If you do a search for HESI on this site - there are several posts.

I am trying to decide whether to sign up for the online Kaplan review. I would like to take the NCLEX at the end of June. Is 3 weeks long enough to make use of the Kaplan review? I have several other books but I am having a hard time staying focused. Thanks

This survey closes out on Friday. For those of you that have participated, I thank you !!! If you have not participated or know of a nurse that might want to take the survey - would you please pass it along. Thank you, Thank you for being such a help!!!!!:heartbeat

hello fellow nurses, for the last several months i have been back in school working on my doctorate. i am looking at recognition and reporting of impaired nurses. i defended my prospectus yesterday and got the blessing to start collecting my data. this is where i am in need of your assistance. i am attaching a link to my survey and am asking for your time to complete it. it should take less than 10 minutes. as i am collecting a snowball sample; i am also asking that you forward the link to any and all nurses in your contact list for them to complete as well. the only requirement is that they be a licensed nurse in the united states. thank you in advance for your time and support of this endeavor! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/impairedprofessionals sincerely, stephanie [color=#888888]stephanie evans-mitchell rn, msn [email protected] assistant professor of nursing delaware state university

I only know that Wesley's classes must be taken in succession. There is a LPN-BSN program at DSU which is also in Dover.

could someone please send me a copy of the pdf study guide [email protected] we take the hesi at the beginning of the junior year, which is in sept.

My school does not have an informatics program nor does any college in my state. I have considered adding the minor through another college out of state but don't know if that is possible. Our dept chair discourages "minors" and when students do take them, the more traditional minors are psych or nutrition.

I am sophomore BSN student with a BA in Business Management. I have taken a few IT classes. I'm not sure whether to add a IT minor. I will be 52 when I graduate and I although I feel physically fit now, I know that my years of 12hr floor shifts may be limited. Any advise? Thanks elle

Since Bayhealth is located in Dover (Kent General) and Milford, it would be very odd for there to be such a big difference in pay for the same job/license. Beebe School of Nursing graduate are certificate RNs when they pass the NCLEX. They get lots of clinical experience which is really good but are not paid as well as BSN-RN. The LTC facilities train/get permission to allow their LPNs to do some of the duties of RNs. LPNs are better paid in LTC, then in the hospitals and many of the downstate hospitals are going away from using LPNs and hiring RNs. Home healthcare is also rapidly expanding here.

Is the (evaluation) actual outcome statement based on the interventions? or is outcome statement based on the expected outcome? If an expected outcome is = Pt will have temp under 99 F by 11/12/08. Would the actual outcome statement = Pt temp under 99 F by 11/12/08. Does each expected outcome have a matching actual outcome. I won't even pretend I know what I'm doing, I just don't. I'm hoping with lots of practice someday I will.

I strongly considered Wesley, price tag and all, but signed at DSU. They are a fairly new program but I have only heard good things.
