try dialysis, Davita

6.75 =$75.00 for Davita Acute Dialysis in Houston Texas for weekends and $50 for weekdays....12 hours

last year as an LVN working in dialysis at Davita I was making $21 finished RN school in may 2010 and Davita offered me $27/hr so I said goodbye and got me a job at a private dialysis center making $34/hr with only 4 months of RN experience, I was only an LVN for 1 year and a dialysis PCT for 16 years. All this took place here in Houston, Texas. Sometimes it's good to move around to make ends meet. When I became a nurse, dialysis clinics did not take my PCT experience in consideration.

Kaplan, no doubt!

I PASSED !!!!!!!! :yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

they did not specified, I used the rounding rules I learned from school

I got 5 SATA questions, 5 Pharm, 2 drug calculation, Infection control (herpes zoster, MRSA, etc and the precautions, droplet, airborn, etc) nutrition, thyroid storm, parathyroid. one DM question:idea:

I studied Hurst for CONTENT and Kaplan for question, Yes I bought the 2 reviews and it was well worth. Hurst questions are too easy and NCLEX are on Kaplan level, they resemble. Kaplan is not good the content only helps on tackleling a question. I combined both!!!!

This is the way I studied: 1.I studied for 1 month and a week 2.Hurst review (live) just before I finished school to pass HESI. 3.Feuer Review and Feuer Review Pharmacology in AUDIO for my Ipod that I got from friend. 4.Kaplan Review in center, I asked “who is the most requested/excellent instructor?”, and I took her! (in Houston-Janice De Falco) 5.Lots of Qbank questions from Kaplan, Kaplan sharpens your critical thinking skills and tested what I learned from Hurst and Feuer (Hurst and Feuer are CONTENT based) Kaplan teaches you how to answer questions. 6.Studied on my own. 7.I studied 5 days/week, 5 hours a day only, the 2 days I worked I didn’t study and restaurant/movies 2x a week. 8.No alcohol/partying or friends, NO NO NO! 9.When I listened to Feuer, I took notes! 10.I am relieved now after I saw the good pop-up on PV website! 11. I lit up a "Saint Joseph" candle and prayed! it worked!

I did the PV again and I got this: "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time."

"The candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at this time." I have no clue if I pass or not. I probably need to wait longer. i did the PV trick 1 hour after finishing exam.

Congrats!!!!!!!:yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

I'm a Graduate Nurse and I was planning on doing Home Health. I have been an LVN for 1 year. Wondering how much is the pay here in Houston. do they pay hourly or by patient and what is the going rate, Thanks.
