I would imagine this would be the case because you are no longer considered a CNA once you pass NCLEX. Hopefully they would help you find a position as an RN though

I work on a telemetry unit and we will get our occasional detox patient that comes to us because they have some type of chest pain related to their detox process. I wish we had some kind of protocol because it is very dangerous for the patient to go ...

I just had a quick question about Do Not Resuscitate Orders. I had a patient the other day who came in with an out of hospital DNR (he had been in a nursing home prior to admission) and I know per our hospital policy a new in hospital DNR form has to...

Where I work it is 1:6 for sure and sometimes we are pushed to 7 pts. it is very frustrating because our patients are very sick and I feel like I can't give the best care to my patients. ughhh just venting but I feel your pain! I wish we had ratios h...

Yuck! Next time definitely put it in a red bio hazard bag and dispose of it in the bio hazard red container that is in the dirty utility room so it can be disposed of properly. Shame on the nurse for being ugly with you!

For us the physician has to specify if they want the CT with contrast. I would imagine if they don't specifically order "CT w/ contrast" then it would be without.

It is required that we have double sided name badges. Maybe you can ask your HR department for another name badge so you can have a double sided one.

I just got my acceptance letter for Angelo State to start in Fall 09! Has anyone else gotten in? I didnt see any posts for this school yet!

I graduated in May of this year, passed NCLEX in middle of May and had a few job offers within a few weeks of graduating. Like people said before, it depends on where you live and the job market there. I live in Texas and the job market is good compa...

I heard from someone a while ago that UT Austin got rid of their ADN-BSN program. correct me if I'm wrong..I was interested in pursuing my BSN from m UT Austin as well since I already have my ADN

I went to BSHP and graduated this past April. I loved the program and the faculty as well. As far as I know, just about everyone that I graduated with, including myself passed NCLEX-RN on the first try. I had job interviews lined up within a week of ...

Baptist school of health professions is what I am assuming you are referring to, no longer has a diploma program...they got rid of it about 2 years ago. They are now an associates RN program and it was wonderful, I just graduated there this past Apri...

You are not wasting your time! I just graduated from a ADN program in April, took my boards in early May, passed, and just got hired at a great hospital the other day. There is no pay difference between an ADN or a BSN nurse (at least here in TX ther...

you would be considered a GN (graduate nurse)

Yes, please don't waste your money on the prep class. You have PLENTY of time to take the exam, and it is all open-book; the questions are self-explanatory, and it even tells you where to look on the BON website for the answers. You will do fine!

I took it on the 18th. Did you try the pearson vue trick??

Found out yesterday that I PASSED!!!:D yay!!!!

Okay I know there are a million or more threads on the pearson vue trick but I am freaking out about this whole thing:eek:!Took NCLEX-RN this morning and walked away after 75 questions. I checked pearson vue and I got the popup that says "Our records...

haha don't worry I took only 45 min for 75 questions. I hid the icon that shows the timer and the question numbers and as soon as I knew it I was done. It scared me also that I finished so fast but I found out yesterday that I passed!!!!

Honestly I think it depends on your learning style and what you want out of the review course. I took Hurst and loved it (passed NCLEX on the first try w/ 75 questions) they break the material down in easy to memorize ways and it is funny also! They ...

i hope so too!!!

yup! thats the good pop up!!! congrats!!

you have to wait until it says "delivery successful". I just took NCLEX today and I had to wait about 3 hours after my test time to do the pop up test. If you get the pop up that says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. ...

Graduated last Thursday and it feels awesome to be done!!! Taking Hurst review this week and hope to take NCLEX in a few weeks:D

I have a littman lightweight stethoscope.
