  2. Tick Tock Tick Tock

    blinks14 replied to blinks14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So still NO word yet on whether or not I passed. I had my first day of orientation at my new job as a graduate nurse and I was dying not being able to access a computer until I got home. All day I...

  3. Has anybody felt like they know they pass

    blinks14 replied to booski's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I will tell you that I felt good at the end of the NCLEX, I just took it today. I have to admit that I have started to panic since that point. I'm not sure anyone feels totally confident about their...

    blinks14 replied to kerri2686's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Check with the NLN, all schools that are NLN approved are approved by the PA State Board of Nursing no matter what state they are in. Hope that helps.

  5. Family Doesn't Want Patient To Know?

    blinks14 replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that it's legal but if the doctor thinks that it might affect the patient adversely or potentially cause more harm to the patient they may decide to withhold information at the family's...

  6. Anyone else hating morning shift?

    blinks14 replied to Rudegal2020's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I too hate day shift. I have tried it and cannot adjust. I have to get in bed at 8pm and still feel like a zombie when I get up in the morning. I can't stand it and I don't drink coffee or any of that...

    blinks14 replied to btrfly76's topic in PACU

  8. Everyones Wants To Know When!!! NCLEX

    blinks14 replied to VANESSA WILLIAMS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A coworker of mine graduated around the same time as me and she is not telling anyone when she is taking the exam. She just says soon. That's all, I respect her. Me I have to tell everyone. LOL Which...

  9. Starting NCSBN 5 week course

    blinks14 replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah I can't say I'm too pleased with the fact that you can only use Internet Explorer to navigate their website. I wanted to do this review because it was pretty cost-effective but I have a Mac and...

  10. What should instructors wear to clinicals?

    blinks14 replied to EdmontonAB's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    When I went to nursing school sometimes my instructors wore plain scrubs or professional business attire with a lab coat. They definitely did not wear the same uniform as the students. We wore a very...

  11. Starting NCSBN 5 week course

    blinks14 replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I too am doing this same course and I too got that question about the HCT wrong. Most of the time I can manage to narrow it down to 2 answers and then I always pick the wrong one. I try and comfort...

  13. Question on pa nursing license

    blinks14 replied to weesie1244's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I would suggest that you check with the Arizona state board of Nursing. They would be able to answer these questions. Also when you graduate you could just apply to Arizona and bypass Pa together if...

  14. What are CNA's allowed to know? (HIPAA question)

    blinks14 replied to Donnagg123's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I just want to chime in that I believe it is NOT a HIPPA violation for a student to access client charts for learning purposes. The things mentioned in the OP are, because they are not providing...

  15. Restocking

    blinks14 replied to EMSnut45's topic in Emergency

    I can't answer the question about stocking because at my current job as a nursing assistant I had taken on the responsibility of stocking the unit and it was a difficult job. Really very frustrating....

  16. Concepts 5

    blinks14 replied to Nursingchicka21's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm sorry you didn't pass. I didn't fail this particular exam but I did rather poorly on it compared to other exams. Psych is not my strong suit, obviously. You'll do great next

    blinks14 replied to glamgalRN's topic in General Nursing

  19. SATA help

    blinks14 replied to marilynmom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    According to the Hurst Review book, which is very good as far as strategies on answering certain types of questions, suggests that when you come across a SATA type question you read each answer alone...

  20. Ambien Use for NOC workers

    blinks14 replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I had read previously somewhere (not on here) that sleeping pills don't really work when taken during the day because of circadian rhythms and hormones that the body produces only at night....

    blinks14 replied to cuteRn2be's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm pretty sure it has to be signed by a doctor, sorry I know that's not what you wanted to

  22. RN Students that failed & went to Excelsior

    blinks14 replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did not fail a traditional program but I left a traditional program for medical reasons and decided not to go back to that school and instead enrolled in Excelsior since I was almost done. I had...

  23. Diluting all IV push medication??

    blinks14 replied to srewer's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new graduate and I was never taught to dilute every single IV Push. We always looked whatever we were to give via push and gave it according to the drug book directions. Also as far as the...

    blinks14 replied to NurseLay's topic in First Year After Licensure
