nursingsfun

Hi everyone! I am an RN who is interested in going on for BSN at UTA. I read through some of the posts and was wondering exactly how difficult is the online aspect. I have always gone traditional, but have no time and need to spend the least amount of cash that I can to pursue this. I am good with the computer. Also, how hard are the courses? Do they accept alot of previous courses or not? Any help from anyone who knows would be very helpful. Also, is there a clinical component?

My question is: Under an emergency situation, (ie. asthmatic attack) can a nebulizer treatment be administered without an order? I have searched high and low and can't find an answer. Also tried the Nurse Practice Act, which doesn't address it. How about an anaphylactic reaction (ie. bee sting)? Can an Epi pen be used without an order? I feel the answers to these questions are both no and call 911, but really need input... Any sources? I really appreciate any help!!

You can do it. Just keep studying.

I'm so sorry to hear your dilemma. I wish you luck and hope you find something soon. I think we are victims of a bad economy. We have to keep trying.

What's awful is that we were lead to believe there is a shortage of nurses when there actually isn't. My friends and family seem confused when they hear I don't have a job yet. Everyone says "there's a shortage- you should be able to find something easily". What a joke. I continue to apply and look every day, but I am quickly losing hope. I had a good job before, and sometimes feel dumb to have given up a sure thing. I'm also sick of hearing of others who find a job so easily in other states. Good for you - but you don't have to brag!

Thanks for the info. I will check it out! I appreciate any other ideas any one else may have too! :up:

I'm with you. Still looking.

I just graduated and ATI was the provider of our predictor exam. It was definitely passable. I only used NCLEX review books and I passed no problem in the 95th percentile. Just practice a lot of questions and study NCLEX books and you will be fine. Those other review books are expensive and are almost the same.

help! graduated in may and passed the nclex weeks ago. everyone wants one year experience! where do you get that if they won't hire you!? live in north jersey - have applied to at least 40 jobs. what to do? am i the only one?

Good luck to you!

Very cool graphic! Thanks!

Good luck! I didn't tell anyone either. Please post. :)

I just kept checking constantly and finally it said the results were available. Thanks again for all your good wishes!

OMG!!!!!!!! I PASSED!!!!!!!! THANK GOD!!!! I wish you guys luck and thanks for your support.

I was stopped at 75. What is the pearsonvue trick? How many questions did you get?
