  1. What does the state BON screen say if you failed NCLEX?

    momandstudent posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have a friend who just took boards on Thursday. She went on the BON Friday and Saturday and all that it said was, "Exam taken on ..-..-...." I was just curious what the screen will say if one fails...

    momandstudent posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

  3. Restorative nursing

    momandstudent replied to momandstudent's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Mary, so it sounds as if our current plan is the best for right now. We are actually going to start out with the focus on those coming out of therapies. We have our electronic documentation service...

    momandstudent replied to momandstudent's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, thank you for the links. I have taken binders for each wing and given a section to each resident. In each section will be their therapy communication sheet which states the exercise/ambulation...

  5. Hydration pass

    momandstudent posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We have an issue going on with our hydration pass at our LTC facility. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out but to get the nursing department and dietary department to work together is...

    momandstudent posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hello, I need advice. I am the infection control nurse at a LTC facility. We have a pt. that we have moved to a private room months ago r/t c-diff. This private room does share a bathroom. Anyways, we...

  7. C-Diff and commode disinfection

    momandstudent replied to momandstudent's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thank you for all the input. This pt. was moved to a private setting as soon as we "thought" it may be C-Diff. In our facility, we do not have the availability of moving pts. around easily. So far,...

    I am the occ. health/education/infection control nurse at a SNF and I am trying to come up with some material to help alleviate medication errors among our nurses. Right now, when an error is found, a...

  9. Nelrp

    I am just curious as to what the max. dollar amount is that the NELRP will repay. I understand the 60% for 2 yr. committment and another 25% for third yr. but what is the max. dollar amount? I have...

    momandstudent posted a topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I have just started orientation at a LTC facility earlier this week and I have some fears/questions that I would like any help with. First of all, the facility has 77 residents. I was hired for the...

  12. RN--TO LPN

    momandstudent replied to shynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have thought about the same thing but what the previous poster said is true. They see the RN and know that once you find that job, you will take it. Also, does your state allow you to practice under...

  13. Virtual ATI Online Studying Class/Coach?

    momandstudent replied to iHealth's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot give you good information on what to study because I didn't study before I took boards. I did the ATI and that was pretty much it. I did do about 15 questions the day before but that was all....

  14. Virtual ATI Online Studying Class/Coach?

    momandstudent replied to iHealth's topic in General Nursing

    Aahhh, the virtual ATI...brings back memories from just a mere 3-4 months ago. My school also utilized this program and all that I can tell you is..just do it and get it done. We were told by the...

  16. NELRP 2010

    momandstudent replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

    So, can any of you tell me what your credit scores have to be like for them to even think about accepting you for the process? We (husband and I) have had some "not-so-perfect-times" with our credit...

    Hope3, Thank you, thank you, thank you for this valuable piece of information. I am going to call the state tomorrow and see what they have to say. I have never heard of this before and I am...

  18. Why don't I have a job right now?

    momandstudent replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just saw a post on AN about the California BON sending a survey out to the grads in that state. This survey appears to be in regards to the OVERsaturation of nurses in Cali. Would be nice if MN BON...

  19. Cost of textbooks

    momandstudent replied to Mardibug's topic in General Students

    Nice...finally someone is looking out for the students. Of course, just as my luck always is, I just finished with school but this will save money for so many. I maybe had to buy 1/4 of my textbooks...

    Thank you for the dedication that you put forth today (which, by the sounds of it, would be an everyday occurance for you). I am so sorry that you had so much to deal with today but you were a very...

  23. Should I Take Micro and AP 2 at the same time?

    momandstudent replied to tryingtobeanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also say to go for it. There are times in nursing school when you have to REALLY sacrifice and this may be one example. If you feel that you may have to wait another year to get micro, then grab it...

    momandstudent posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took the NCLEX RN yesterday and it shut off at 75. After freaking out for a couple of hours, I went on and tried the Pearson trick. The screen said that I had already scheduled or taken the exam...
