I agree and "Charting Made Incredibly Easy" as well.

Thanks for posting your experience. I've learned from your example of determination. :yeah:CONGRATS!!!!!!

The Pearson Vue Trick worked. I got my official results in the mail today. I can't believe it. I just want to thank everyone for your posts and words of encouragement. I studied using Lippincott flash cards to get me in the mood while tackling Sau...

I found their test strategy section helpful in dissecting questions when unsure of an answer. Then, I did the assessment. The assessment illustrated my areas of weakness and suggested a 30 day study plan. Next, I worked the CD until completion acc...

i took my nclex-pn today. i had no choice. i tried to reschedule yesterday, but pearson does not allow appointment changes less than 24 hours prior to the appointment. i was standing in the waiting room which was designed to minimize anxiety. the...

Hello, I am studying for NCLEX-PN (June 30, 2010) using questions from Saunders, Mosby's, Lippincott, and NCSBN. Additionally, I'm using my school books and Taber's to review content. Unfortunately, I am still only managing between 65% to 70% on t...

Well, today is the day. In 2.5 hours I will be sitting in front of a computer asking me one question after another. I will NOT think of...: My life depending on the outcome of the test My income depending on the outcome of the test My future depen...

You have a point there. Thank you.

Thanks for your advise. I hope you get the big "P" for PASS!!!!!

We had BLS with AED check off today. I was pretty nervouse until I heard a couple start there 2 person cpr with AED scenario with the one initiating CPR yelling at her partner, "Call 911 and grab the IUD!" Fortunately, she caught herself and complet...

Hello, I just completed nursing school last week and am looking forward to working in long-term care. I am finding many positions open, but they seem to want me to work 7a-7p or 7p-7a. I am happy to work any hours assigned - even holidays. My concern...

Thank you so very much. I was able to identify a bunch that had the extended hours I needed. The knowledge sure took a lot of pressure off of my job search. Thank you.

I believe the link is rnsooner.com. I went to their office down in the metroplex area last year before starting my LPN program. They seemed nice. Unfortunately, I do not know much about the program. They were not forthcoming with the tuition amou...

Can someone help me chart an overhead irrigation system in my head to toe? Thanks.

I am referring to the picture below: My textbook says the following: "A continuous irrigation (ongoing instillation of solution) instills irrigating solution into a catheter by gravity over a period of days. Continuous irrigations keep a catheter pa...

I am starting my third and final trimester. I should be jumping for joy, but instead I am stricken dumb. For some reason, I am so anxious and scared about the final trimester that I can't rest and enjoy my break. To be honest, I almost failed out the...

Thank you for your response NurseCubanita. I am in TN. I love my school and teachers very much. I think they really care about us and can be hard on us to toughen us up on the floor and get us batle ready. Good thing too, cause I've seen some mess...

Kudos to you. That is so awesome. I wish you much luck.

As a CNA, I am not certain the two arguments can be equated. I grew up in a state where medication aides were used. I was one. Medication aides are useful in home care or assisted living settings. However, I cannot imagine using a medication aid in a...

My nursing program does not allow me to use my pda in class, but I find it helps me to make use of my time better when I am not in class. For example, I can study and make flash cards on my breaks at work without people seeing a bunch of books lying...

Congrats on getting in. I am happy for you. For me, I heard about studying 3 hours a night. I even heard say goodbye to your family for the next year. I must admit I was completely blindsided by the break neck pace with which we are completing everyt...

I am about to complete my first month. I appreciate your comment, because there are a few people in my class that were not in anyway prepared for the fast pace we work. We cover multiple chapters in a days and can expect to test on it the next day....

I attend TTC @ Dickson. It is extremely challenging and fast paced. However, you can do fine if you establish a healthy routine and try to stay ahead. Be honest regarding your weaknesses and never let pride prevent you from asking for help. I love...

I am in my third week of LPN school in TN. I love every minute of it. I love the program, the instructors, the fellow students. It is just one big lovefest. I can't lie. It is not perfect, but I think what is making our classes so wonderful is t...

Yippy! You are starting on Monday. Me too. I'm so happy I can bust. It is still like a dream for me. I hope that your first day totally rocks! *sprinkles nursing dust*
