Hello, I am in need of help with starting my thesis. I'm a first semester in the Family NP school and we're starting the topic of our thesis (not the exact topic yet but narrowing down a few ideas with the topic of our choice). I'm highly interested ...

Thank you so much scottaprn. Your response has been very helpful in getting my thinking.

Hello ALL. I just recently started on a NICU unit and had just a BRIEF overview on the 20% rule of medication administration. Do all NICU units use this rule???? I am very confused as I am trying to work on some problems right now. All the diluting ...

Congrats KickPushCoast! What's your secret (if you have any -- Tips, etc)?? Thanks and congrats again!

Thank you so much for the reply! Once every week or every other is not bad at all. What I would really like to know and forgot to ask is, how is your work schedule like, in regards to the workload of the BSN-DNP program? Are you working full time/par...

That is great! I'm glad you didn't actually listen to your nurse manager on this one. Would you be able to tell me some of your stats (GPA, etc) and are you doing this program through a regional campus or are you actually in SF? Thanks!

Hello! Just wondering how this all worked out for you?? Would you be able to fill me in? Thanks!

how do you know you were rejected from icn?

Yes, I did.

Took mine June 21st. From CA and no results yet Plus been trying to get a hold of BRN through phone but no answer.

Hello all... For those who live in CA and recently just took NCLEX, how long did it take you to know your results if you passed or not? I took my NCLEX 6 days ago and nothing has been posted up yet...I also know of classmates who took theirs before I...

Are you from CA? Referring to the Pearson Vue trick, I did do it and it gave me the good pop up but not confident until my name is posted on BRN website :-) Good luck to you, hope everything works out in the end for you!

Nope, no results yet. I took mine the June 21st. A lot of the people who took it before I did have already found out their results! A classmate who took hers the same day I took mine found out she is licensed TODAY. There's only one classmate who too...

Thanks for the info :-) Good luck!

May I ask what unit you applied for? And even though she told you that your application has been forwarded to the hiring manager, did your application status actually change online? Thanks! :-)

I would not worry about any pharm meds. I would recommend to understand side effects of psych meds though. I had a lot of those (akinesia, tardive dyskinesia, parkinsonism, etc). Know to differentiate those.

I can not remember exactly the steps but I received a letter in the mail from BRN, this letter was NOT my att. However I signed up with Pearson Vue thinking that the letter I received in the mail was my ATT, but by the time it got to a screen that as...

Twinie_26. I am from Fresno :) You can apply for any externships starting 2nd semester so I would recommend applying after first semester ends. Apply like you would any other jobs (online and submit an application). If you have connections and resour...

Hurst is definitely the way to go. Strategy wise, I would not pay a class to learn strategies...you can go to your local bookstore (barnes and noble) to purchase their Kaplan Strategies book and it is just as beneficial as any Strategy course but che...

Me too...any other news yet, anybody?

I personally think it's about evaluating yourself through nursing school. Evaluate how you learned, how you did on exams, how you did on practice exams (for us, it was ATI Exams to let us know how we're doing every semester). Base your readiness on t...

I know exactly what you mean about being restless. I too, went up to 200-something questions and I felt at a point I just couldn't even really focus or think straight anymore. Besides Hurst, I also used Kaplan's Strategies book....it has a section th...

Did you go over the Hurst Infection Control Materials on their 5th day materials (the ones available online; not in the book)? There is a great document that shows exactly what disease matches which precautions (standard, contact, airborne, droplet)....

I am currently my 3rd semester of RN BSN Nursing Program. I know how having your "foot in door" can land you a better job or get you a job easier, thus I am applying for externships, etc. But where I am from, externships are very limited and so hard ...

Are you talking about the live or online hurst? The online one, it's completely independent work...meaning you do it all yourself (someone is not there physically lecturing) and I believe you have to print the handouts yourself (not 100% on this but ...
