I've started in ICU about 8 weeks ago as a new grad with no more than nursing clinicals hospital experience. First 4 weeks I had only classes and a couple of hours in the afternoon on the floor. After the classes were over I moved to nights following...

I've seen that Kaiser Permanente from Pasadena, CA does not require GRE, but there may be more of them if you check AANA website Accredited Programs.

You should see some of the pts in ICU will SBP of 70 and MD says is acceptable in that pt case and will do nothing about it. QUOTE=JamiRN]Can anyone tell me what may possibly be going on with a patient of mine who's normal BP is around 110/70 110/78...

I graduated in May, got my RN license in June, and will be starting RN-BSN online at UNC Chapel Hill, NC in August. By the time I start school I will be finishing the orientation in ICU. Not that I will feel comfortable to work without a preceptor, ...

Hi, GCShore! We may be working on the same unit, but your screen name does not give me a hint about who you are... The Lord, your scores, the many years of experience you have as a nurse and your nice personality (in case you are the one I think you...

Hi crazydebbie, I am not the best predictor, but seems to me that you fulfill at least 3 "conditions" similar to people that passed (1- more than 90% of people whose computer shuts off at 75 pass, 2- most of us believe the test was hard, cannot remem...

I took my test Friday, June 3rd, and by the following Friday, June 10th, I had the license in my hand. BON processes results Tuesdays and Fridays, and I do not think there is a matter of a few weeks waiting. Good luck to you

I am waiting to write this posting for over 2 years now. I started the Associate Degree Program in 2003, graduated this May and got my RN license yesterday. A couple of years ago, while taking my prerequisites for Nursing I was asking students and nu...

Rachel, I took the test last Friday (6/3) in NC and found out Tuesday morning that I passed. They process results Tuesdays and Fridays. If you call the phone number listed on the BON website you can get the results before it's listed online. I know t...

I have taken the test today and as many of you said before there were very few questions I was sure of the answer. Most of the questions had 2 right answers, very difficult to choose from. I wouldn't say it was a hard, neither an easy test, it was ju...

BSN has the leadership-management nursing type courses included, which have more theory and projects to do. Depending of the program you are in you can have 2-3 classes with clinicals in top of those taken by regular ADN students. Most if not all of...

Congrats to you! I hope to find out soon too. This wait is killing me, especially that next Monday I''m suppossed to start working. NC seems to work so slow and keep people tense. I am not even sure I have the right number to check the results.

The questions have been more helpful. Yesterday I did about 700 questions. I know it seems a lot, but I haven't read the whole rationale for those that I knew why that was the right answer. I'm scoring anywhere between 70-78%. Saunders questions seem...

Good question! I was wondering about that too. I started reading Saunders, and then I thought that is so detailed and many of the details I will forget. If I didn't learn them before I don't think I am going to recall any of that for NCLEX. So, i sta...

Here is a web link to some pictures with fetal positions: http://www.birthsavvy.com/doula/Doula%20Notes%20Main%20Page%2003-18-02_files/page0010.htm You do not have to memorize them. When it says anterior it means that the head of the baby or whatever...

I am taking it in Winston Salem too. So, it seems that tomorrow you'll find out? Look forward to see what you did. I am sure you passed though. It is a good idea to go early...I do not think I would be able to get a good rest the night before anyway...

I am in NC too, and am wondering how soon after taking the NCLEX can I check the results and where do you call or check the results online? I am sure you passed with 75. Have you had lots of check all that apply questions? I take my boards Friday, Ju...

I've got similar results and printouts. I was wondering about the accuracy though. I've started doing Saunders. My goal is about 300 questions per day. I have to hurry as I scheduled my NCLEX on June 3rd and I accepted a RN position already.

I was wondering if any of you took the ATI or Mosby's testing to see where you are standing in your preparation for NCLEX. I have taken them both and though they both say that I have a 98% chance of passing boards, I do not really believe in being ac...

KacyLynnLPN, Mine had lots of all that apply questions, as well as math calculations, order of events, diagrams, etc. I am planning of taking the NCLEX in the begining of June, about 3 weeks after graduation.

I understand you very well. I had a similar situation, where the clinical instructor was making me very nervous and it seemed that whatever I would do, was never good enough. I never got words of encouragement from her, only rebukes, and I was always...

As a new grad I am looking for a job in the ICU of this large teaching hospital. However, it seems that the nurse managers from ICU will hire experienced nurses vs a new grad. The same hospital has a burn unit, unfortunately it's not called burn ICU....

I've heard from a company that prepares us for NCLEX that the new format questions do not count towards your score, that they are just part of those 15 practice questions. Has anyone heard this before? Thanks, F
