Rectal under 1 year of age, unless they are hem/onc...rectals are big no-no's, all other are oral or axillary. Tympanic are not accurate, it is not only positional for the operator, but if the child has an ear infection it will not read correctly. Th...

First off let me just say, you are in no way alone! I failed my NCLEX the first time I took it, pure nervousness!!!!!!!!!!!! I studied Kaplan and Lippincott the 1st time, which did not make or break me. Your comfort level has almost everything to do ...

Lippincott and Kaplan are good. But....Saunders was the best! The questions help you to think and give you more content, we all have to go back a remind ourselves about first semester....hehehe! I had so much stuff going on when I took my Nclex the 1...

Went to an ADN program which works closely w/ UCF. The accelerated BSN you are talking about is the RN to BSN program. You have to already have a valid RN lic. in the state of Florida. As far as UCF goes, it is a great school. They also have an onlin...

If you are feeling overwelmed...reschedule it. No matter what you'll be alittle nervous going in, but if you are in doubt, reschedule while you can. Try not to overstudy....you finished school...you know this stuff. The tricky part is the mental part...

Mine was the same way when I found out. I went to the BON website to get my answer. Pearson's Vue website had not posted the results yet. I am glad I didn't waste my money. 7.50 isn't it? Oh......most importantly, you passed Congrats!! :balloons:

Pearson states your results are ready in 48 hours, or 2 business days. My license was posted before noon, 2 business days after the exam. Don't pay the money to view a pass result, go to the licensee lookup at MQA website. It is free, Pearson took fo...

We use EMLA cream as well as cold spray. Not all children need 4 people to hold down, but some do require diversion...depending on age, could be a book or bubbles. EMLA cream and cold spray are great things, so thankful to have them. Thing to bear in...

Hi! Best advise I can offer is to take some time to pop into your computer lab at school. There is should be either a computer major or a faculty member there to answer questions, they can get you started. That's how I learned, hands on. Good luck

I used the Littman lightweight, it is awesome! It is so light..you can put in your pocket and it doesn't weigh it down. The cost was under 60 bucks, it is just like the Classic series..as far as listening qualities. Best bet is to go look at them and...
