  1. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    This entire scenario is just horrific. We all know the dangers of unsafe nursing assignments and we accept is because “that’s just the way it is”. So many corners are cut due to unsafe and dangerous staffing practices. Every time there’s a new requir...
  2. Hospitals hiring new grad in New York State.

    Slim pickings! I'm a new grad & I have't found a single place that is hiring new grads. Plattsburgh is way upstate, almost in Canada.
  3. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    She did fail. Which sucks. But the trick does work.
  4. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    My test shut off at 75 questions, and I got the good popup. I passed. My friend took it yesterday, 265 questions, and she said it it taking her to the credit card page. I will let you know how she did once her results are back.
  5. Does anyone know if the pearson vue trick actually works?

    I got that popup too, and just got my unofficial results I PASSED!
  6. Kaplan scores and taking the nclex tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck!! Go in positive, take your time, and read carefully. You can do this!
  7. I passed the NCLEX!

    I was wondering how you got your results so fast! I got the popup too but I am afraid to trust it despite what i read that says it works! Well done :yelclap:
  8. Nclex in a few days....need help with pharm:(

    I hear that! You're not going to see any Prils/Ones/Lols on there. Now I need some **** to get me thru the next day and a half til results are up! I would say just keep doing questions, Kaplan was a good resource for questions. I didn't need to use t...
  9. Nclex in a few days....need help with pharm:(

    I had about 4 pharm questions. 3 I had never heard of the meds and I had to wing it. The other one I actually knew. I don't know how well you can possibly prep for the pharm portion, they don't seem to ask questions about the more common meds.
  10. Hoping there's no exception with the PoP uP!

    I had a TON of SATA questions. 75 questions and computer shut off. This 48 hour wait might be the end of me....
  11. Absent P waves - SVT or V Tach?

    Isn't that Junctional rhythm? Oops sorry - missed the heart rate of 200.
  12. Thank you - that post was really helpful. I am very frustrated by the lack of assistance from my school. I am an night student, and feel we get the short end of the stick. My professor is only available 4 hours a week in the early afternoon (difficul...
  13. Thanks! I did meet with my instructor after our 1st test, and knew that I was making the error of not reading the questions and all of the options carefully enough. I thought I had done just that but obviously not! Am meeting with my prof tomorrow to...
  14. Got 60% and this one counts for 30% of my grade. Not sure what to do at this point.
  15. I could use help with this also. Waiting on midterm grade & hoping I passed the exam. I know the material & my lab values inside out, but I have no idea how well (or badly ) I may have done. I find the questions are written oddly, and design...
  16. Nursing podcasts!

    Thank you!
  17. Personal Toll of Nursing School

    I absolutely can relate! I am in my 1st semester of clinicals and have 3 children aged 8, 6 and 3. My 3 year old has a CHD. It really is hard, especially the evenings when I had to leave 5 minutes after the kids get home from school. My husband, God...
  18. ID10T NS questions....... ***VENT***

    Wow thats nuts. It is such a poorly worded question. Aren't they all available to this patient really?! But which would you suggest - I would have gone with C.
  19. Apothecary conversions

    Hey All, We just started med calculations tonight and the prof spent a lot of time on teaching apothecary conversions. She gave us lots of problems combining both metric and apothecary measurements, telling us we may very well see apothecary at some ...
  20. What would you answer for this test question?

    Yeah which is right-er! Drives me crazy. I would go with B - let us know when you find the answer out.
  21. Apothecary conversions

    Thank you! Haven't heard the word dram in an age so it threw me a bit!
  22. Apothecary conversions

    I am listening to my instructor. I am not the type of student who blows off what my professor teaches because I think it is irrelevent or outdated. I have been working on both conversions and combined conversions while studying. I just wondered if ap...
  23. Having Hard time with A&P 1.

    Read the book, take notes, reread the book. Practice on your kids, husband, whomever you have around. Keep at it, work in small chunks if that works best. Lots of helpful websites too. There are several threads in the prenursing forum.
  24. You are in the same boat as me (except I have 3 children aged 8, 6 and 3 - my 3 year old has a CHD). My husband has been awesome and is home with the kids when I have class. I know it is taking a toll on him though as he is here ALL the time. So I tr...
  25. Had the WORST shadow experience, am shaking

    Good luck - hope it went well.
