I can understand where you are coming from. I am both a Nurse AND a Dialysis patient and have experienced and witnessed many of the issues you mentioned. When I am working I on occassion run into patients who do Dialysis and various centers in the ar...

You did fine, but I will say her question was COMPLETELY innapropriate and I am not even sure they are allowed to ask questions like that during an interview. Your relationship status is completely irrelevant to the actual job and I probably would ha...

Make Monday your last day to study and spend Tuesday and Wednesday relaxing and find distractions. You will just freak yourself out if you study up to the last minute. Get a good nights rest (if possible) the night before. During test take deep breat...

I had to wear DOVE apparel in school and hated it. I followed the size chart guidlines and yes their products run really big. I just stuck it out with my oversized uniform though (looked like a clown). No they dont shrink. On the label it states not ...

What was the end result? Probation? Time served? Charges Dropped? Is it considered a misdemeanor? It may or may not affect you. I know thats vague. In terms of getting a job, there are many employers that will still consider you. The problem may be w...

The answer you put was correct but the answer eat right for your age group is MORE correct. In Saunders review it discusses an "Umbrella" answer. An umbrella answer is one that is VERY general. So eating right for your age group is very general. The ...

I know this is an older post and you have been a practicing LVN for 5 months now...but I just have to say I admire your perseverance. You never gave up and kept trying when many would have called it quits. The fact that you let nothing stop you from ...

Using Maslow...lets say a question was asking about a care plan and what would be a priority intervention or diagnosis. Using Maslow you would want to pick the option that addressed the most "basic" needs. For example, you wouldnt want to pick the re...

I completely understand how tough it is to apply the wealth of knowledge you have from studying the material. For me what it came down to is ABCs and Maslows heirarchy of needs. This doesnt work in every circumstance but for many questions this did h...

You are totally not overthinking it. I understand that things get busy or that resources are limited but I think its very important to maintain a Pts dignity at the very least. When I did clinicals in LTC I observed similar things. If I grabbed an ex...

You know what, just wait til tomorrow. Sometimes I think the pvt causes too much anxiety. Just go out try to distract yourself (see a movie or something) Then tomorrow you can check your results. Good Luck to you :)

Good Luck to you and I will def keep you in my prayers. Dont freak out, you will be fine and are well prepared. What I do before I start answering questions on a big test, is I will stop and take some deep breaths and then say a prayer for me to stay...

You know...I dont even live in Ca and I am agonizing with you all. What up Ca? I know there is a faster process and frankly Im a bit annoyed that they torture their nurses like that (especially when Pearson knows the result immediately). Anyway, i fe...

Im in FL...I did notice that those who the trick did not work for though are in Ca. Perhaps because the state does not offer quick results. Who knows. All I know is it worked for all of us so far :)

I would say yes. Out of the 22 people in my class who took their NCLEX-PN the "trick" worked for 100% of them. Everyone who got the good pop-up passed and the one person who failed got to the CC page. I had a friend who just took NCLEX-PN on Thursday...

To the OP how did it go? Did you get confirmation within the timeframe they advised? My friend registered and got the same message so we were wondering.

On the Distance Learning forum, there is a thread stating the BON will start accepting all Excelsior grads beginning July 1st. Not sure how to post link, but below is the page. https://allnurses.com/distance-learning-nursing/good-news-florida-479377....

Perhaps Clearwater is different. But usually clinical hours is the same as classroom hours. The only exception to this I found were the online students and evening sudents. The only time it ran over was in postconference or if I was observing a proce...

Next class will be either October or January. Just keep an eye out.

Thanks for your response! I understand what you are saying. I was reading the payment plan brochure and it was saying you can finance enrollment fee up to 12 months but it did not state anything about completing payments prior to taking exams. The CP...

Hi All... I plan on enrolling in EC within the next couple months and was looking at the costs. I noticed that there is an enrollment fee and annual fee. Are both of these assessed at the time of enrollment or do you only have to pay the enrollment f...

Hmmm...Not sure how I feel about his advice on you dropping the CNA course. I graduated from PTEC last year and I know during my selection process those who has completed CORE and CNA were awarded extra points for entry. They also were able to skip t...

Are you limited to just the Tampa area? In St Petersburg there is St Pete College which is maybe 25 minutes from HCC and they have a nursing program there. Also PHCC in Pasco is another option. I only ask because I know some people who were willing t...

Well I know alot of the community colleges in FL now offer online classes. I am in St Pete and I have several friends who went to St Petersburg College. SPC offers pretty much all of the nursing pre-reqs, including core science classes completely onl...

This same situation happend to my boyfriend about a year ago. He went in for a job interview and they didnt even consider him although it looked promising at first. When he inquired about it they indicated that he had an extensive arrest record. Of c...
