  1. Online courses?

    Yes, I did! I found it on a rabid, last ditch effort Google search less than a week before my NCLEX. I think it was helpful, I really like it when prep-things give rationales for answers. It does reccomend that you take 80 hours to do the course,...
  2. out of state GN

    Yes, it is very easy. Here is the website http://www.op.nysed.gov/nursing.htm I went to school in Alaska and took my NCLEX in Alaska but FOR my New York license. MAKE SURE you get the infection control and child abuse classes (you can do these onlin...
  3. Dosage and Calculations

    Wow. This thread made me feel a lot better, as if there are others in my same boat. Our school also has the 100% to pass/three tries to get it math tests. Our first semester test consisted of (I believe it was) fifteen questions each that were ab...
  4. Extra pay for certification or degrees?

    By the way... Baby Catcher, you have the coolest assortment of avitars. But I especially love the sleepy little kitten. :)
  5. Extra pay for certification or degrees?

    At my hospital ACLS is one of the things a nurse gets points for when being evaluated for a raise.. but it is required. Go figure.
  6. A question about clogs

    When I first read your original post I thought "she could use Reeboks." I have a slightly "off" arch too, and my old Reeboks are the best, most comfortable shoes I ever got. But I hear a lot of people (who, presumably, do NOT have "off" arches) say ...
  7. Stupid Test (Rant)

    Wow! That really made sense. Thank you! And thank you all for you kind responses. I know that everyone I have bothered with this has said that I should not complain because I got it right... but whenever I get an answer wrong, I want to know why s...
  8. Stupid Test (Rant)

    Today we had our second exam of the semester. The very first question was about the chain of infection: We have been taught that this "chain" is like a cycle that can begin or end at any point. Anyway... The question was (multiple choice) Which of...
  9. RN license

    You can go to school in New York, and even take your test in New York and get your SC license without ever having a New York license, if that is what you want to do. You could get the NY one and transfer, but if you plan to move right away and never ...

  11. Black Widows

    Alice Cooper song... Vincent Price says that part though.
  12. Black Widows

    And here, my prize, the Black Widow. Isn't she lovely?.. and so deadly. Her kiss is fifteen times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake. You see her venom is highly neurotoxic, which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system causing inte...
  13. I sure was grossly misinformed!

    klone: The NET score is probably only one of of many factors considered. My school used the NET score, gpa, how many pre-reqs you had finished, if you had ever applied before (it gives you more points if you have), if you had applied and been accept...
  14. net website too much to ask for?!!

    Horrifying moment while taking my NET: I had finished one of the math sections, and looked up to find that the other students were still working away. So I went through and double-checked all of my answers since I figured I had time. I looked up a...
  15. I am clueless right now...

    Oh! Another idea I am just throwing out there since I really should be in bed by now.... Embroidery will certainly look much nicer and last longer but - you can get the images silk screened onto the scrubs OR, an even cheaper route, they have iron-o...
  16. I am clueless right now...

    Kristen Uniforms http://www.y2kuniforms.com/tasmon.html will do custom designs (two dozen minimum order). They also sell uniforms and scrubs. Their customer service is FABULOUS and their shipping is FAST. You might have an embroidery shop that will...
  17. Thinking of applying for loan repayment program

    Oh! And I forgot to mention... There are nursing students from Oregon coming out to do clinicals in a couple weeks. I heard some people discussing that today and I thought of you. Wouldn't it be wild if you got to come visit that way?
  18. Thinking of applying for loan repayment program

    Gennaver, unfortunately many of the recruits to the hospital where I work are brought here because of the loan repay thing. I am not saying that they all are only here to do the time and get the money; the money is just how they happen to hear about...
  19. Mosby is the maker of the videos we watch in my clinicals. http://www.vellosoft.com/dloads/list.html this site has loads of tests for practice that you can download. Hope that helps.
  20. Thinking of applying for loan repayment program

    If you are willing to go to the end of the earth you can have your dream of L&D as well as the loan repayment thing by working for a Native Health Corporation. The hospital where I work has loads of nurses who come out for this very reason... al...
  21. net website too much to ask for?!!

    Oh, I forgot to mention... in addition to the math and reading parts of the NET it seems that half of the test were questions to which "there are no wrong answers" the kind that assess what type of learner you are and how you deal with stress and int...
  22. net website too much to ask for?!!

    http://www.siue.edu/IS/TEST/Nursing/Practice_Net_Test.htm This is a Practice for the NET At my school we had a day where we went in and did a "practice test" and by the exciting grass questions I saw when I glanced at this practice test it is very m...
  23. A distinctive uniform worn with pride, dignity, and demeanor promotes the ideals of the organization it represents. Traditional nurses' uniforms immediately identify the wearers as educated, caring individuals who have dedicated themselves to preserv...
