1. Anyone with small children?

   magnolia60 replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in LTC Directors

   From experience, I wouldn't recommend it!! I am about to bail out of this very position. Highly mislead at the interview. I have 3 children under 10 and barely see them. When I am at home, constantly on the phone (24 hr on call) and it is not unco...

2. Kindred Hospital

   magnolia60 replied to nrsstephanie's topic in Missouri

   I hate to so many negative posts about Kindred. I have applied for one in Richmond but it has only been open about 1 year so difficult to get much info. I would love to hear from someone who has positive experiences to share!! I know it varies fro...

   I am anxiously waited results of my CA-125, so helpful to read the facts about this test - Just had U/S found 5 cm septated cyst on my right ovary which looks suspicious. (Due to thick walled septum). It gives my great hope to see there are survivor...

4. Did Anyeone Got A Lot Of Repeated Question N Pass?

   magnolia60 replied to SadNBlue's topic in NCLEX

   I had about 8-10 med questions and about 3 questions on the same med PLUS repetition in infection control - just worded slightly differently. I passed with 75 questions. My advice: You can drive yourself crazy trying to analyze the questions and wh...

   magnolia60 replied to khine2mn80's topic in NCLEX

   At this point I really don't know what to think, except that I need to stop thinking about it!! Driving myself crazy going over questions and whether I got them right or wrong. The hard part is not really knowing which questions are considered the ...

   Sounds like you had the same as I did, Lovendove. I too had tons of meds, prioritization and infection control but only a couple of SATA and a couple of easy drag and drop. Struggled at the beginning, started to get better and somewhere in between ...

   I am taking mine tomorrow at 12:15 and feeling very nervous. Did not train here so not feeling like that 85% pass rate is on my side! Although English is my first language nursing is different here. Just hope I am prepared enough, having done ever...

9. CGFNS? I need your help!!

   magnolia60 replied to chavelle1124's topic in International

   I actually ended up having to pay CGFNS and pay the university to send my transcripts. The CGFNS only reviews credentials. You have to send off the form to your university and pay any fees they require separately. CGFNS fees do not cover this.

10. CGFNS? I need your help!!

    magnolia60 replied to chavelle1124's topic in International

    I couldn't agree more - having been through the whole process. Why would anyone want to go through the CGFNS if they do not have to. CGFNS has an up to date list, as of July 2008, of all the BON's requiring either the CES or CP. Personally, I would...

    I am currently going through this whole process after moving here from the UK. Each state is different as far as their requirements. Go to cgfns.org and you can find out all the info or check your state BON. Some states require CES and some requir...

12. What to expect during a sleep study?

    magnolia60 replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as a sleep tech while waiting for my license over here. Yes, you will be hooked up to EEG wires to measure your brain waves and monitor what stage of sleep you are in. You will also have EKG monitoring, leg wires to see if you kick at nigh...
