  1. Can't find dorsal pedal pulses

    This might sound a little odd but when my husband and I are sitting around watching TV I feel mine and I feel his and it has helped me find that nitch a little
  2. IVs

    I never got a chance to start an IV in school and they gave us a literally 15 minute instruction on how to do it and we had to do it ourselves. The first few times I started an IV I was shaking real...
  3. Stupid mistakes!!!!

    Hah, sometimes this can't be avoided though with the rate they give you
  4. Stupid mistakes!!!!

    I have made a similar mishap that has only consumed and wasted my time. I had to give Heparin and Dilaudid and I drew both up in a normal 3 ml syringe then couldn't remember which I drew up in which!...
  5. I thought the best thing for me to do out of nursing school was to start out in med-surg. I'm sure a lot of people would agree with this notion and I know I will learn a lot but I really hate it so...
  6. Pregnant before you began?

    I didn't get pregnant in nursing school but I know of 3 people who had babies in our class. They seemed to manage fine, graduated and got their
  7. Stressed new nurse

    This is really funny to think about and read. I kind of had a little bit of a breakdown this afternoon after I realized I missed a doctor's apt. because I had no idea what day it was. I feel like I'm...
  8. Today was my first day of orientation to my new job on a med-surg floor. I faced a situation where I was supposed to ask an aide to go get something from the central supply but I was too scared to...
  9. Awaiting NCLEX Result...

    Jeez, I would hate to live in California. I can't believe they make you guys wait so long? Why does it take SO LONG? I thought 2 days was bad enough. Good luck and relax. Easy enough to
  10. Which has fats?

    Would have to agree with the book also. It's kind of a tricky question but rice, I'm assuming it's steamed, definitely does NOT have fat and I know that for a fact and that's all you need to know to...
  11. Pediatric NCLEX questions

    I had roughly 5 pediatric questions on the NCLEX. I passed with 75 Q and I'm relatively certain I got most of those right? It just depends on how you answer the first ones they throw at you and how...
  12. I have a different number: 937-372-8159 ... Just in
  13. Waiting too long

    I graduated in May and I just now took my exam. I passed with 75Q. I don't think it's too bad if you're studying but everyone tells me to take it ASAP if you're
  14. I have been checking Pearson constantly ever since yesterday (I took the NCLEX RN Saturday afternoon) and my results always said that they are not available at this time. I just now logged back in...
  15. Took the NCLEX RN today. Never thought that I would actually stop at 75 Q but it did. I'm not sure what to think -- I don't think I failed and I don't think I passed, either? I guess it could go...
  16. Took NCLEX RN just now, 75Q

    I DID practice a lot of questions, but I doubt that I practiced nearly as many as everyone else. I bet I did about 100 on average every other day. Thanks for your
  17. Everyone that I've talked to (that's passed) has said there are a ton of med questions on the NCLEX that are ridiculous and out if this world. Note that they still
  18. Who else has a difficult time remembering the different precautions? I know in standard precautions you wash your hands, use gloves when in contact with drainage/open skin, etc. But I'm having a...
  19. This is what I was looking for. Thanks for the information. And
