  1. CIC certification- practice requirement

    blkdawn replied to ICRN2008's topic in Infectious Disease

    My facility was desperate for an IC person and with my background in epidemiology, they asked me to step in. As part of the job, I have to obtain my CIC (certification in infection control) within two...

    Dear Nurse Leader, In April of 2005, the American Organization of Nurse Executives recommended that the educational preparation of the nurse of the future should be at the baccalaureate level. The...

  3. Alternative meds? You'll never believe this one!!

    blkdawn replied to darla80's topic in Nursing Humor

    Rubbing alcohol rubbed down on a person with a fever will cause the fever to break, BUT you're not supposed to do it, but I don't know why. I know it will break a fever because it's been used on me...

    blkdawn replied to BethyC123's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Nike AS III Walkers....They were the Consumer Reports best buy for walking shoes and since I've started wearing them, I haven't had a problem with my feet

  6. Title of "BSN" on badge?

    blkdawn replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to start a flame war BUT....I really think BSN nurses who "gloat" about their degrees really need to get off of their high horses. Nursing is one the VERY FEW areas where a Bachelor's...

    blkdawn replied to angelique777's topic in Nursing Humor

    The single most long term ingredient of success is not just the ability to start, but the ability to start

  9. Tips for Second Time Around

    blkdawn posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Now that the shock of actually passing has worn off a little :balloons: , I thought I'd pass along what I did to pass the second time around. First, I just thought I should say that everone's advice...

    blkdawn posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. NCLEX June 10th!

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

    I had 85 questions and one of three things happened: 1) the first time I took the test, I must have taken it for the ARNP because this test was moderately easy 2) this test was moderately easy which...

    I'm taking it for the second time tomorrow and wanted to wish anyone who will be taking it tomorrow (for the first, second or even third time) good luck! We're going to kick NCLEX butt!!!!!

  16. What's your opinion: not passing NCLEX = incompetence?

    blkdawn replied to pie123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As silly as this will sound to a lot of people, I always failed my first test in any nursing class on purpose. The reason was our program was so scattered that from one class to the next, depending on...

  17. What's your opinion: not passing NCLEX = incompetence?

    blkdawn replied to pie123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm about to take it for the second time tomorrow (wish me luck) and I promise you, it has nothing to do with incompetence. One of the best nurses I know absolutely CANNOT test paper and pencil. If...

    blkdawn posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please post what you thought your mistake was the first time (if any) and what you think you did the second go-round that helped you to pass. Thanks for your input! I'm studying like crazy now for the...

  19. NCLEX RN 265 Questions....Whew!

    blkdawn posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can now relate to why people get so panicky about getting 265 questions. I took NCLEX today and I can honestly say I have NO idea one way or the other whether or not I passed. If you were to tell me...

  20. NCLEX RN 265 Questions....Whew!

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

    It's ok, but I didn't pass....I'll just have to take it more seriously next time. Good luck to those who still have to take

  21. 265 questions...awaiting results nervously!

    blkdawn replied to carrie160's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    FL BON web site is not necessarily a good way to find out if you've passed. One friend of mine who passed didn't have it posted on BON until 10 days after he found out from Pearson. On the other hand,...

  23. 75 questions

    blkdawn replied to Seelo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    not really. It's how you did on the ENTIRE set of 75 questions.... If the questions got steadily easier, then maybe you didn't do so well... If the questions got steadily harder and it shut off at 75,...
