    Question - having significant doubts about my VS assessment skills

    chevyv replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your skills will definately improve as you work. I guess the key is to ask questions and don't act like you got it if you don't. You might not always have those wonderful machines to rely on and vs...

    chevyv replied to 2happycamper's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Didn't they give you a maximum number of days it could take to post? I think another poster wrote 3-10 days. You can only wait (UGH). I wish you inner peace right

    Question - having significant doubts about my VS assessment skills

    chevyv replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's hard to hone skills when you don't often get a chance to do them over and over. Maybe you can try this for a pulse: follow your thumb down towards your wrist and follow the curve where your...

    Study scores too low to pass NCLEX-PN?

    chevyv posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm scheduled to take the NCLEX-PN in less than 2 weeks. I'm using Saunders (book with CD) and recently purchased an online tutoring session from http://www.learningext.com/ (sounds like a Kaplan...

    chevyv replied to RiverNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm so sorry you had such a bad night. I hope it was limited to that night only and is not the norm for you. I felt so bad reading your post that I felt I was right there experiencing the night with...

    chevyv replied to Sugar383's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    it is taking me forever to finish the suzanne first plan

    chevyv replied to smartypant's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Enjoy your child and do what you can when you can do it. When it's time to do 100 questions per day, you may need to break that up. As a parent, your child comes 1st and you also have to take care...

    I like what OhDaughterof.... wrote. Sounds like good advice and certainly couldn't do any more harm. I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't understand how someone could tell you that you wouldn't be...

    Is the pay really that bad??

    chevyv replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    Myty23, you got it right! I used to be the same way, always wanting more and trying to keep up with the 'Jones's'. I'm still a student who is now filing for bankruptcy. It took me way too long to...

    I'll be taking my exam in a few weeks, but I've been reading tons of posts from others wondering how many questions and failure rates. The answers have all been about the same. The computer gives...

    Scared

    chevyv replied to Snowii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with other posters that your feelings are completely on with other nursing students to be. What if you fail a class? You'll take it again! What if you don't like it? You'll find something...

    Has your supervisor ever told you to go to work when you were throwing up?

    chevyv replied to Amethyst Veralyn's topic in General Nursing

    We had a policy in place that stated you had to find a replacement if you called in. That made absolutely no sense to me. I rarely called in so the first time I did and was told to start calling...

    How can an adult leave a child in a hot car?

    chevyv replied to Patrick57's topic in General Nursing

    Snapped at a nurse student last night, she had a bad case of Nursitis

    chevyv replied to Tony1790's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I remember a few years back working with some nurses who would walk onto the unit (not even clock in yet) and tell me all of their pts needed baths that day. Now, this is a hospital (Gero Psych) and...

    Would you agree that it is okay for a CNA and an RN to do the daily narc count?

    chevyv replied to JaredCNA's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as a PCA in a hospital and had to count with the rn every shift. She counted and I ok'd the count and witnessed to the lock up. I always wondered why a PCA would be part of that. After...

    Extern? Preceptor?

    From what I understand (and this may not be correct), an extern is still a nursing student having completed at least one semester of med surg with clinical as well as pharm. A preceptor is your...

    What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    chevyv replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in General Nursing

    Hey, most of us females hate those pastel colors and that nasty green moldy look too. A few years back our nurse manager had colors up for staff to vote on for our lounge. The majority voted for a...
