  1. Passed NCLEX RN Thursday!!!

    Pearson Vue trick worked. 75 Questions 37 Select All That Apply 31 Drug Questions Most of the drugs I didn't recognize. I think some of them were made up. Almost like they wanted you to think through something you didn't know about. It was a ver...
  2. NCLEX-RN books - Which ones to buy?

    Saunders 5th ed: http://www.amazon.com/Saunders-Comprehensive-NCLEX-RN%C2%AE-Examination-Nclex-Rn/dp/1437708250/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318336105&sr=1-1 Exam Cram: http://www.amazon.com/NCLEX-RN-Exam-Cram-Wilda-Rinehart/dp/0789744...
  3. Passed nclex last Thursday with 75 questions. I kept a tally of med questions, sata, ones I knew I got right and ones I knew I missed. I wound up with 38 select all that apply. Yes 38 of them. I hate them but I had to deal with them and this is how ...
  4. Good pop-up + no name on BRN

    I took mine on the 6th and it showed up on FL BON today. On the NCLEX site it says 1 week though.
  5. Good pop-up + no name on BRN

    a week
  6. RN job outlook in South Florida

    Maybe go more than 15 miles?
  7. Check in the Workforce Investment Act. There should be a program near you that will help with school. Locally we have one at the 'Escarosa Center' I don't know where yours would be. Try searching online. They helped a lot of people in my school ...
  8. I want to get out of nursing

    Maybe work at a Dr. Office for a little while.
  9. What was more stressful for you?

    In school now (last semester) and it is defiantly more stressful than getting in. I think getting in has more anticipation and frustration but not really stress.
  10. need help please

    Stool can get pretty hard, like a rock. Think about all the moisture being pulled out. I bet she is impacted. Is there another nurse you could ask?
  11. Pressing charges on a psych patient?

    I did not mean to include everyone into my frustration. I will leave this thread alone but I still have my opinion of it. As far as arguing with a cop. It wont be the first or last time. They have a standard to hold that should be higher than ot...
  12. Pressing charges on a psych patient?

    Surprise, surprise on being a cop. LOL I guess that makes your opinion more valuable huh? Not in my book. As far as "taking a chair upside the head if your in a locked room and can't escape" Here you go twisting things around to suit you. No one on ...
  13. Pressing charges on a psych patient?

    I never said not to defend yourself. My comment was directed at the comment that suggested taking a chair to the patients head while they were sleeping. You are illiterate if you can not see what I have posted. I look forward to your post on, "Should...
  14. Pressing charges on a psych patient?

    Where in this whole thread did anyone say it was wrong to take legal action? I only said I felt that as a nurse it would be wrong to hurt your patient even if they hurt you. (i.e. taking a chair to their head). Where would you draw the line? It's ...
  15. Pressing charges on a psych patient?

    THAT does not sound like self defense
  16. Pressing charges on a psych patient?

    I am shocked to see all the posts on here suggesting violence. First and foremost, they are patients. To press charges or not is up to you and would depend on the situation for me. I would NEVER condone retaliating with violence. What kind of nur...
  17. Asking for a change of grade

    If I was a student and I found out you got to retake the final to pass after you had the same time I did to study, I would be ******!!!
  18. How Can Hospitals Afford Not To Hire?

    This all sounds so grim. I don't mean any offense to anyone but I think the times of hiring foreign nurses should be over unless it becomes needed. It does nothing for our economy. The money usually ends up getting sent back home, instead of reinves...
  19. Thinking of moving to Florida!

    I live in Pensacola. I can't tell you much about the job market. I am not out of school yet, one more semester to go. The houses here have gone down in price dramaticly. Almost in half. So there are good deals to be had on that side of things. I...
  20. Moral/Ethical Advice

    Keep out of it. If she is doing that, she will get caught eventually, if not, oh well. All you have is hearsay. It really isn't your problem. Just do your work the way you should and worry about you. You can't spend your life getting upset abou...
  21. Excessive nursing applicants everywhere!

    They can't get a job in dance? Hmmm who would have thought. The reality is this. It is tough times out there right now. I was a paramedic for years, got out of it and went into contracting and construction and opened my own company. I did real well w...
  22. I think what you are asking is if you should talk about him. I think to CYA you should not discuss him with anyone outside of your clinical group. All he has to say is, "I never said that." and you just violated a HIPPA law. Also consider where y...
  23. It takes a lot of dedication and desire to complete nursing school. You don't seem to have either. I would quit wasting your time and other's opportunity and find something that truly makes you excited to do. Don't you want to feel the same excitemen...
  24. How did everyones semester go?

  25. Passed my final and now I am officially a senior!!!!!
