    emily_rn_03 replied to jlynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    We had Bon Jovi's "Living On A Prayer." Other songs that were played I believe were "Time After Time" (not Cyndi Lauper's verson!!). I also think that some Norah Jones song was played. It's not a...

    emily_rn_03 replied to Marti Ann's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    emily_rn_03 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    emily_rn_03 replied to murnahan5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    emily_rn_03 posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. RNs Performing Housekeeping Duties!

    emily_rn_03 replied to allsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work at is all very specialized. We have housekeepers assigned to every unit, so all day from 7am to 11pm we have one housekeeper for just us. On the night shift we can call for one...

  12. Don't know what to do

    emily_rn_03 replied to K19P's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry about your test. The advise that I can give is to just try again. This test doesn't mean that you won't be a great nurse. There are so many people out there that don't make it the first...

    emily_rn_03 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    emily_rn_03 replied to emily_rn_03's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that to some it is meant as an "enduring" term, especially in the south. I am from the midwest. As for what speculating has said... New grads don't get repsect until we work for a few...

  19. studying for boards

    emily_rn_03 replied to obnurse2004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I definitely think Kaplan is the most comparable to NCLEX style questions for the most part. However, I also had some factual type questions on the NCLEX. I used the Mosby comprehensive book also to...

  20. People who have taken the NCLEX r/o please

    emily_rn_03 replied to jetta1's topic in First Year After Licensure

  24. Kaplan vs Mosby

    emily_rn_03 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am taking the NCLEX in a few days. I have gone through both the Mosby comprehensive book and the Kaplan book. I can answer the Kaplan questions with such ease, and the Mosby just "so-so". I am...
