I will direct some of these naysayers to read an excellent New Yorker article by the very esteemed writer/physician Atul Gawande's "The Learning Curve" Annals of Medicine: The Learning Curve : The New Yorker I know that these nurses aren't doctors th...

we are, now, newly minted RNs, all from CA. We all graduated on Dec 2009.

we are all from CA

there were many of us who took the exam (cohort 7 of el camino college, i.e. more than 10 of us...did the pearson vue trick and it worked every time), having said that i'm going to vouch for it. also, i've never read or heard of any one experiencing ...

i highly recommend this board since it helped me so much in passing my nclex-rn exam. i took it on may10th and found out that i passed the exam on may 13th in CA. thanks you guys for having such wonderful support to a once nursing student (and will a...

i took it on may 10th and found out officially that i passed on may 13th through CA BRN's website. My test stopped at 75. there were a bunch of SATAs, prioritization questions and drugs i've never heard of as a nursing student. yeah, i hate it before...

the pearson vue trick worked for me. i immediately tried it (and a millions times thereafter) after taking the nclex-rn exam provided that the testing ctr has my exam status as "delivery successful". consequently it wouldn't let me re-register for an...

i'm 37 and just graduated this december 2009. yay!!!!! and now for the nclex. lols

i thought peer reviews by nature ought to have both positive and negative feedbacks. it is not worth a read if it is not balanced.

first of all, you must quit this defeatist nonsense. no way you'll do this; rather, off you go to an accredited school to do some of your prereqs---finish even if you have to tackle them one by one. you'll be so surprised by the end of your prereqs t...

just because you got to see observe a specific part of nursing from your end, it doesn't necessarily mean that overall nursing is that way. generalization is such a tricky thing to handle.

adrenaline junkie present here---so i'm guessing, it's better for me to get a job in a fast paced and highly charged department like in ER, trauma or ICU?

regardless, while the federal law is in effect, the pro-life has the upper hand on this one.

personally, i dislike the law and i hope it gets repealed (as obama vowed to do) because it FURTHER expands the government involvement and thus power into the healthcare industry and in the lives of many people.

even if "by accident" she was to encounter an event in a hospital that she might personally deem as an act of abortion, still and rightly so the pro-life nurse has every right to excuse herself from the said proceeding; that is, courtesy of the law p...

i don't think you would be asked to participate in something you do not want to do, especially if that something results into compromising your beliefs. moreover, why would anyone such as you, who is a pro-life, would want to choose to work in a faci...

don't you let one failure, that is if it's your only one, get in the way of you becoming a nurse. that is, if nursing is something you've always wanted then by all means seek some tutoring help, or you may want to re-think to study habits when it co...

i found this when i googled your question: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CDG/content/CDG_valproic_acid.asp

the cpr guy strikes again. any way, yes there's one in torrance, ca's el camino college's nursing program that doesn't do interviews. i did my pre-reqs there then the semester before finishing them up I saw a nursing counselor to help me get my nursi...

i just dunno. from my experience, i've seen quite a handful of people who talks about the negatives and somehow forget about the positives that they've done. oh, well, just a thought.

need more information as in how long (hours or mins = time ?) this epi is to be transfused, or am i to look for it myself in the med reference book.

so what you are saying is that backpacking in the real world isn't an allowed option over making money and earning a degree. one can certainly wait, especially of doing the latter over the former---and still be able to do both, as in no matter what t...

you can do it!!!! forget about time and concentrate in understanding the materials, and above all else have fun while you are at it.
