hi, have a question regarding the safety of heparin iv vs sq.. when a patient is ordered 5000 units SQ, what are the safety issues about giving it IV? I know it shouldn't be given IV, but why? what's the difference between giving a patient heparin SQ...

Hi there! Was wondering what your experiences have been with either Drexel University Online or Chamberlain for the RN-to-BSN program? Is there another school you'd recommend or have more experience with? And did you go full-time or part-time? I...

I have a career-oriented question regarding getting a BSN vs. MSN (without the BSN given along the way) when I already have a BA in English, plus the AS in Nursing. Which one would be better to do? They are both online classes, not really sure of how...

thinking of going to grad school, but wasn't sure if it's worth the $400 per credit price tag.. heh. And that's an online program...not sure how reputable those are and whether it'd be worth it... I'd be applying for a Master's of Public Health or He...

I'd go for the incandescent one, but I'm old-school..

Hi everyone! Wow. It was a long time in coming, and it was a second try, but I finally did it. And passed! Whew! What a relief! Now comes the hard part - actually putting what I've learned into practice... Well, anyway, first I want to thank you all ...

I think she means to check your search history. I think (if it's a pc), it saves your search history and all the sites you've been to for more than a month. It's tedious looking through it, but you may be able to find it by looking one-by-one. HTH! G...

hi, some of you may know that I didn't pass the first time I took this test... But now here I am, a few months later, and I didn't take it right after the 45 days passed, because I was studying. I'm now scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and I'm w...

Does Kaplan use the exact same questions the second time around during the class? I'm just wondering if it's worth it to take it again!

Thank you both for the response! Yeah, I was thinking that I would take the class again, because I thought it might help to get the stategy down even if the questions are the same, but I just wasn't sure! I'm hoping that this time will be the last ti...

Hi all, at this point, I'm pretty sure I know that I haven't passed. Now just waiting on the official results in the mail. but when can I sign up for my second attempt? Can I sign up at Pearson Vue now? (When I haven't even received my results in the...

Thank you, teaquay! :) I always appreciate the good thoughts and prayers!! Lord knows I can use them! What about you, did you find out from the BON yet? I had been hoping to hear your news!

Don't worry. In a few hours you'll find out, and you'll be writing back this time to say you passed!! :) We'll keep our fingers crossed! I haven't received my paperwork yet, so as soon as I get it I'll decide when I should take it again. Don't want t...

Of course you can, teaquay! The more the merrier! And we're all in this together. :) I hope you passed, but until you know for sure, we'll be here!

Hey teaquay-- I took my test on a Thursday, and by Friday or Saturday they already had my results (but I didn't get up the courage to call the BON until a few days later). When you check on the Pearson Vue website, you have to make sure that it says ...

Hi there! How and when you do get the results back in VA if you've passed? Do I just keep checking PearsonVue? Or do I start checking after 48 hours? I know they SAID 2 to 3 weeks, but I've been wondering since other people know a couple days after. ...

congrats! :)

Congrats!! :)

Thank you for your advice (I love this website, too!) and congrats!! :)

Totally lost -- how long did you study before you decided to take it? Everyone is telling me that I should take it right when the 45 days are up, because the longer I wait, the more info. from school I'm likely to forget, but I think I rushed it the ...

Hey nursetobe! Took my nclex last thursday, but haven't signed up for the second one, yet. still waiting for my paperwork to show up in the mail. I did Kaplan, too, but right now I feel like I maxed out their use - ha! don't know if I should take the...

Thanks for the responses! I actually got up the courage to call, but it only confirmed what I suspected -- I didn't pass. Oh well, guess I'll have to saddle up and prepare for the next time! nursetobe4 -- thanks for your advice -- I also saw that y...

tbh, I tried the pearson vue trick and it let's me go all the way to the payment page, so I think I didn't pass. is it true? Does that mean I didn't pass? Oh, good luck, btw for when you try it! Also, I'm hearing conflicting stories about the result...

How soon after we take the test can we call them? It says that delivery was successful.

I know what you're talking about. I, too, have two degrees, and took a lot of time to get them! But I also believe in my capabilities, and you should, too! :) I hope you get some peace and rest before your test. Just have the confidence in yourself t...
