i think i got it....so ill be an RN only on that state that i applied for is that correct? what happens if for example I go to Saudi or London and apply for a job there. Do they require me to go back to my country and take the Local board exam or will they consider my license that i received on the state i applied for or will i take other exams?

hmmm so what you mean is there is no oath taking that will take place when i pass nclex right?

it says in the NCLEX website that i should just submit a letter to them explaining why i wouldnt take the local board here. In my case im an immigrant and soon to be a citizen in US...would that status change the process?

@ sILVERDRAGON thanks for the reply So what you mean is even if i were to get and pass NCLEX im still not a licenced nurse? i thought NCLEX was already the board exam there in US.... are there other exams in US that i should take to get be a licenced nurse?

hi guys i have a question that has been bugging me for some time now im from the philippines and i just finished my BSN here...the thing is im a greencard holder and my mom wants me to take NCLEX directly and just skip the board exam here in the philippines..... my question is is that advisable? can i be called a US-RN if i passed the NCLEX or should i really take the board exam here? thanks for the answers guys

thanks for all the tips you gave me everyone!!! ill surely remember it ^^

hi to everyone.....im a 3rd year nursing student and my final exams are coming up.....i just want to ask for advice or tips or things to remember when answering nursing questions especially SITUATIONAL QUESTIONS...... thanks in advance for the help ^^

THANKS FOR the reply daytonite...it really was help...thanks ^^

thank you all for the reply....i misinterpreted the word contraction so that made me very confused now i understand that contraction can lead to vasoconstriction and vasconstriction can prevent hemorrhage ^^ thanks to all who replied

:eek:what!!! sorry...i didn't read it properly......i thought he was a she.....im very sorry

can someone please help me understand about oxytocin i was just researching about oxytocin and i know that it is used to help in the contraction of the uterus and thus inducing labor... what i don't understand is that why is it used to treat or prevent postpartal hemorrhage? i tried to research it in my pharmacologic book but it doesn't explain the process..it only says that it prevents bleeding..i tried researching in the internet but i can't find any good sites that can explain ocytocin... whats bugging me is that...if oxytocin is used for the contraction of the uterus then it is only possible that it can also cause postpartal bleeding due to the contractions right?? so why is it the opposite?? why can it prevent hemorrhage? can someone please explain of give me some sites for it please...i really want to understand it...thanks

i think the best way to really get the problem of your patient is to look at his chart....thats what i do anyway ^^.......any information regarding your patient prior to his admission is in the pt. chart....and also you can't relate MI with his symptoms because it was already ruled out right? but he still has angina so you can research for any possible nursing diagnosis for angina. but the best thing you can do right now is look for the doctor's diagnosis. in that way you can research abnormalities that can be experienced by a pt related to the doctor's diagnosis and then compare it to you pt's situation and then make a nursing diagnosis and intervention about that ^^ but i think your data is lacking...i mean if he has a pain scale of 7 for 3 days then he should have a hightened RR right?? a pain scale of 7 is already very painful hahaha just sharing what i think...i could be wrong you know....im still a 3rd year student ^^ please correct me so i can reflect on it.....especially daytonite ^^

thanks guys!!! i learned something new in questions like this ^^.....you should always think about whats good for your patient...thanks!!!

are you from davao doctors college?

hmmmm......well in my opinion...we can't just tell him to quit nursing school just like that...maybe there are factors that motivated him to take nursing in the first place...maybe because of financial crisis or future plans.....an example of this is that his planning for a better future for his child so he has to take nursing while his child is still young so that he can support the needs for his child in the future because as the child grows expenses tends to "grow" too ...this is just a speculation...there are many other factors affecting him....but also you, yourself know which can be prioritized first...weigh both your priorities and decide which one would be best for you and your family...and its not up to "US" "other people" to decide or to suggest what you should do...think and bring this problem to your wife also so that you to can work on a solution :wink2: God Bless
