    kcksk replied to VM85's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    kcksk replied to nanciepaul's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't know if other states are different but Massachusetts doesn't have a picture on your license. It's just a card like your CPR or social security

  3. urgent:

    kcksk replied to nanciepaul's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I took my boards June 28th and received my lic in the mail July 13th. However, my lic number was posted online a full week before that. They can verify your lic number until you get the actual lic...

    kcksk replied to dannibee's topic in First Year After Licensure

  5. Anyone starting non-hospital jobs in this bad job enviroment?

    kcksk replied to luvmyguys's topic in First Year After Licensure

    kcksk replied to perfectly_4given's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes you will be no--don't freak out. Chances are they are asking you something else and that is in there to throw you. When you really look at the question and break it down, use your skills to...

  7. Drugs and the NCLEX

    kcksk replied to oguesswhat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  10. Need help with nursing math

    kcksk replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    First--multiply the dose x the weight in kg so you get 75x4.8 which gives you 360. In three divided doses is 120mg per dose. Then do the math 120/x = 90/1 you get 120=90x, 120/90=x, x=1.3ml Hope...

  11. Woking as an aide after passing NCLEX

    kcksk posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi all, Once we pass NCLEX, can you still work as an aide until you find an RN job? We have heard many different things and someone said to check with the Mass BORN but they thought that if you were...

  13. Why do teachers tr to fail you???

    kcksk replied to NStiger88's topic in General Students

    There is only one time I can say the instructor was not fair. Pharmacology, question and answer came right out of the book. The professor told us we answered wrong--all but one person in the class....

    kcksk replied to sarahlpnwannabe's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I can tell you that Holy Family calls their CNAs PCAII. They require you to have your CNA license or be in nursing school. They did have some jobs posted and I would think they will have some within...
