So this has been a long journey and I'm half way through my FNP program with UTA. Even though my advisor told me that it was too early to look for preceptors and that we should start 6 months prior to our first clinical I took the plunge and started ...
I bit the bullet and paid for the membership. I contacted pretty much everyone on my area that was listed. 3 replied that they were full til 2020 and one to come in for a chat. I messaged her back to arrange that but it's been 2 days and no reply. Sh...
I have many colleagues that went there and they still can't find a job and not only that but they did not learn anything. Go to a local university that has hospital affiliations if possible.
I have worked in a inpatient intensive psych unit and what you see in ICU is nothing compared to what you will see. In ICU you might see someone with a drug overdose and drug induced psychosis or someone with a hx of schizophrenia that might have tri...
Yikes. I hate it when the Docs write confusing orders or write a mix of PRNs of the same med for different reasons. Yes you should never give both the PRN together with the scheduled med. Wait at least an hr. 0.5mg of Xanax is a tini little dose. In ...
Hi, Im an RN and have been working for 5 years and also have a 4 year degree. I been looking into moving and working in Canada. I have a friend in Canada who's mother works as an RN and she offered me a job with her agency to later find out that the...
Im a US nurse with a Baccalaureate degree and 5 years of nursing experience since I passed the Nclex. I want to move to Ottawa in Ontario and wondering if I have to pass their nursing examination. Or what to do about it? I also have to apply for a wo...
I agree with some of the posts above. My first job after graduating was on MedSurg-Telemetry and I enter the job so optimistic to find out myself in a very hostile work environment. I loved the being a nurse part and taking care of my patients. Didn'...
What does credit scores have to do with patient care? Whoever came out with that idea is an idiot. And then they complain that there is a nursing shortage:redpinkhe
Okay so Im really nervous now. First of all hi to everybody. Im taking my boards tomorrow and I used Kaplan to study. Ive been studying since January and my scores were really low at first. I have to admit that Ive seen improvement but I just finish...
Hi Jane, Thanks for asking! I posted another thread 2 days after this one saying that I PASED!!!! Im really happy about it and have already got some interviews for hospitals near by. I heard that you pass the NCLEX if you get 51% of the analysis ques...
I took the Kaplan with live classes. I knew that if I bought the online course only I wouldnt do the reading needed so the class assignments made me actually read the book and do the questions and two time a week I had to ge off my butt and go hear t...
I passed the RN test and most of my questions were priorization. What I did was: Always the less stable patient first. Remember the ABCs. Always see the patient with low respirations and such. It depend on the question. If there is no arway or breath...

Ive heard great things about Suzane's Plan and I was considering doing it if I failed this time. I was trained in Puerto Rico and I failed the first time but I took Kaplan and passed the second time with 130 questions. I found the Kaplan practice que...
I feel your pain. I took my test last wednesday and found out the results on Friday. I was shaking while I was opening the pearson vue web page. But thanks God I passed. Just try not to think to much about it and pray. Close your eyes and vizualize y...
Now that I pass I was wondering what do we get?? Do they send me my license by mail or do I have to go somewhere to get it like you do with a driver's license?? Im sorry I graduated in Puerto Rico and the way we do things overthere are a little diff...
Thanks everybody!!! Im really happy. :p:p:chuckle:chuckle For those who haven't or are afraid to take the NCLEX, I advice you to go on with a possitive attitude and take it. If you have been studying for a while now and practicing questions you shoul...
This is what it says!!!! NCLEX-RN: The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses Grade: Pass I cant believe it. I was getting mid 50s and the highest score I got in Kaplan question trainers was 60%. I was convinced I would fail. Th...
