    EKG on NCLEX?

    Ciale replied to wfas457's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had one. A couple other girls from my class had one too. You don't need to study them like crazy...just know the basics (what would you do? what's the intervention?) Cardiac wasn't really emphasized...

    Test "on hold"

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the words of encouragement, guys. I just don't see how an extra two minutes of a computer tutorial is going to make a difference as far as "brain dumping" goes. Surely they'll review my...

    Test "on hold"

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks, tweety. I didn't understand what they meant by "tutorial". I thought the lady talking to me was the tutorial. I dunno I was so nervous. I wonder if I should call the board or just

    Supplies a new grad ER Nurse should carry

    Ciale replied to Belle2013's topic in Emergency

    As cheesy as this sounds, the best "thing" to carry with you is a good attitude and the ability to laugh at yourself. Also a new grad ER person here and the only supply everyone benefits from carrying...

    Ciale posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm using the National Council's practice exams and doing the online Hurst Review exclusively but I'm finding that the Hurst lady's advice of "If you can only do one thing...." doesn't really apply to...

    How much time between graduation and boards?

    Ciale posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm kind of worried that I should have taken my boards sooner. Do you think 2 months post graduation is too long to wait? How long did you guys wait to take

    How much time between graduation and boards?

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hm. Well it was scheduled for June 7th but life happened. I'm grieving a death and having an incredibly difficult time focusing on studying and just overall mental clarity. I forgot my own alarm code...

    NCSBN + Hurst Review

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok! THANK YOU so I'm not nuts. Yeah, I'm getting like 50-65% on the NCSBN tests when I scored a 950 on the HESI exit. I know I'm not a

    Emergency departments willing to give a dedicated new graduate a chance..... realistic

    Ciale replied to iliketosneeze's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. :) Sounds like you'd be a good fit for the ED. There are different certifications that *might make you more competitive (disaster preparedness, C.E.R.T.) I'd...

    Ciale replied to iliketosneeze's topic in Emergency

    Are you sure about this? I think all Level 1s are teaching hospitals. At least, in my state they are. So they hire almost exclusively new

    Ciale replied to iliketosneeze's topic in Emergency

    ADN here. My level II just hired me with ZERO experience but only because I've proven to be a hard worker, good with people, I get along with pretty much everyone and I've been an ER tech for a couple...

    As a nursing student I'm afraid of _____. (fill in the blank)

    Ciale replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Forget her. Seriously. Just concentrate on the task ahead and pay little attention to her. I've failed a nursing course before...it's not a big deal. You just pick yourself up by your boot straps and...

    Ciale replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Killing someone. Is no one else afraid of this??!?! I work in ER...what if while I'm tending to my tension pneumothorax, my unassuming ABD pain turns into a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and I come back...

    Really not wanting to beat a dead horse here, but you are stating things that are incredibly obvious. My issue is that there doesn't appear to be any valid reason why her school disallows clogs...not...

    Well that's your opinion. This website is where people go vent about things without judgment from others. You're name calling and referring to the OP's feelings as "ridiculous". What is your goal in...

    That's my point -- it's NOT a big deal! It's a pair of SHOES! Let them wear whatever shoes they want to. And if we're talking professional, clogs are much neater/more professional looking than a pair...

    Why? That is absolutely ridiculous. Can I tell you how much a hated nursing school because of stuff like this? I'd go as far as getting a note from your doctor stating that you have to wear them if...
