I am sorry to hear that but do not give up! I am currently using Saunders and i have to agree with previous posts that it is the most comprehensive thus far that i have tried. The key is know your weaknesses when it comes to taking the test. And when...

Congrats! Thank you for the post and sharing your story. I am retaking my boards next month and it will be my third try. I truly believe i will pass this time using the tools and advise you shared. Thank you again...and Congrats RN!!!!
I also did not pass NCLEX. It is frustrating. But the key is to find what works for you in regards to studying and give yourself enough time to study. I rushed it my first time. Took it like 3 weeks after graduation after self-studying. I wasnt ready...

I have come up on a couple of scenes. Having been in the ER for almost 4 years I have come to respect that we all have our jobs to do..both in the field and in the ER. I am friends with alot of EMS personnel and Firefighters. I have rolled up on a sc...

I agree with kmoonshine. Working in the ER, that is very similar to the scenarios we see. Patients will present a certain way and just by looking at them you can detect which ones need to be rushed back and those that can wait for a room. Kids are tr...

I never understood this either. I work in the ER and see it basically served with every tray i order. i dont get it either. i will see it also with cardiac patients too. they will ask for it and if tests are still pending we will hold it per ER doc ...

I have two pairs of Crocs and dont have a problem with them. I work in the ER and sometimes i have a tendency to slip in them when running around but..that could just be me..lol.

I agree with Sbyram. When i was a new grad, i did lots of research on new grad residency programs in Denver. No where did i come across a contract outlined as such. There were a few that wanted a time commitment (i.e. 1 year), but no financial respon...

I agree with Classicdame. I think it would have been good to have given stepmom and especially dad a heads up on what was given, when, etc. so as to watch for any possible reactions/allergies. Other than that, as my fellow posters have stated, it is ...
