I answer honestly and proudly - YES!! :) One of the things I LOVE about being a nurse is that I get so many opportunities to talk about my Saviour and pray with (and for) my patients. I'd never walk in a pt's room and open the conversation with "G...

Hi Neighbors!!! I'm in Lucedale - just about 25mins West of Mobile :)

UHmm.... excuse me... I am a nurse on a Gero-Psych unit. It is our entire hospital's policy (Not just our unit) to not restrain unless the patient is a danger to him/herself or others and ALL other measures have been exhausted. Nor do we chemically...

Well... the hunt is on... and I'm so confused! I went today and could've had everything done to start on Monday, but I just got the feeling something just wasn't "right" about the facility. Two of my classmates start tomorrow. I don't know what it...

thanks all... I'm even more sure today than I was yesterday that I did the right thing. No regrets! I went to an interview today that I was turned down on because I am not trained in drawing blood & EKG's. However... after hearing me say that,...

Ya might know that my state is one of the only few in the country that doesn't participate in the 2-day results service. I took my test yesterday... Although I'm confident I passed, I'm gonna be a basketcase by the time I get that little white enve...

GO MONICA!!!!!!! Isn't that THE best feeling in the world!!!! :balloons: for you!!!!!

calm down.. it's no sign at all - well, except that your state is slow:) Try to get out... and do something... good luck... i bet you did fine

I lost the weight by taking Phentermine (not recommended if you take Synthroid) which helped me diet & exercise. Understand - it wasn't the pill - it was the stuff I did while taking it. I only took it a short time to get me started. Even thou...

I couldn't have said it better myself... Don't ever give up. I lost 100lbs several years ago, got pregnant & gained 85lbs, lost another 100lbs - was ADDICTED to the gym, etc. I've gained about 40lbs (or more) since I started nursing school las...

I think it took me about 30 or 45mins to take 85q's. I took on Wednesday, got my results & license in the mail on Friday

THANK YOU Marti & Legs - it feels pretty great. I went around ALL weekend saying... "I AM a nurse... " :) It's pretty cool... and almost unbelievable.

wow.. I got my results in on Friday in the MAIL (with my license). I took it on Wed - I did NOT expect it so quickly! I passed w/85 q's, my friend I went w/ passed w/ 190q's, our other friend failed - she had 85 q's. Never can tell.

WOW.. wanted to let you all know... I got my LICENSE in the mail on FRIDAY!!!!!! I just took NCLEX on Wednesday - was NOT expecting it so soon, but THANK GOD... I was ON AIR!!! It made my wknd SOOOOOOO MUCH more relaxing & enjoyable!! Now... ...

My state is one of the few that DOES NOT have the quick-results service Drives me crazy. I've tried going to the state's website to look for the license listings, but it's not available. Guess i'll be waiting....

don't ask why this posted in home health nursing:confused:

We had a book w/video at the beginning of our program. It was based on a series by Dean Vaughn... it gives you pneumonics for EVERYTHING.. the book is called Basic Human ANatomy and there's another by the same guy called Medical Terminology. Some o...

Well, I had LOTS of nutrition questions.. especially r/t celiac disease. No psych q's, 3 dosage calc's, a few peds, no ob/maternity. It was weird... absolutely NOTHING you could EVER prepare or study for. Even the stuff I got q's on that I knew ab...

I took NCLEX-PN today... it shut off at 85q's... not sure how I did ???

One day at a time.... best advice I got in nursing school :)

I have several pre-req's to take before I can bridge to RN, the only trouble is those classes are already taken - 5 days BEFORE registration begins! GRRRRR... then... today... I find out I have to take a placement test before I can register for anyt...

I need help... last Mon. night my daddy went to the ER w/chest pains. Turned out to be an MI. They did the heart cath and also found an aneurysm just below the level of the heart. They did the stent on Fri. and will remove the aneuysm on Mon. The...

wow.. amazing how God works things out.... My daddy wound up not having surgery yesterday. WHen they went to thread the catheter into his spinal cord, the CRNA or Anesthesiologist (or whomever) made a boo-boo... and the Dr. said it was too risky. T...
