Hello All Nurses ARNPs, I am conducting a 10 question survey/poll to determine the working conditions of ARNPs in the state of WA. For what purpose: personal, potentially doctoral program and eventually help form a union within my organization. Plea...

anyone have input, hints, whatever else you could offer for HESI exam V1? I actually believe that all versions 1 would be the same and all version 2 would be the same, but I could be way off. my thought it if they're dispatching this almost nationall...

When I entered the BSN-DNP program I wish I would have asked for the DNP Project Guidelines from the school. Perhaps I should have asked for this prior to applying. Because while all DNP programs are accredited and must comply with the accrediting bo...

is it legal for a fairly new graduate nurse with personal professional insurance request to complete an unpaid internship from hospitals/health care facilities? I know this sound ridiculous, but if new graduate nurses are willing to go through a 3-6 ...

I have been thinking about the new nurses coming out of school and how much more difficult it has become to find nursing work let alone go into the area you are interested in working. I graduated in December 2010, and have worked odd jobs and landed ...

Dear Tricia and Dixie Redhead, in case you didn't read the part where I clearly noted that this would be the individuals' personal choice in order to gain entrance and start their career. What difference does it make if you are unemployed versus if y...

for those that are finding jobs right out of school...where do you live? share some of your strategies perhaps on how you landed your position right out school. i guess I refuse to think I am not a blessed child or unlucky because i can't find an ide...

with nso i noticed they cover off duty emergencies, i didn't see that on proliability...is this correct for those that have the latter? also would it be okay to post the annual cost for the ones people have or would that be too personal of a question...

I am sitting on my couch unemployed and exhausted from applying to over 500 jobs since I graduated in December 2010. I then got to thinking there's such a large number of RNs out there especially unemployed ones that we should be able to get some att...

@ hiddencatRN: this may be a good question to put on a poll, then you would have a better idea of the amount of BSN vs ADN; even then it'll take come time as not everyone will respond to the poll right away but it'll give you a better idea...

it's really about using your training to your advantage. so if a patient is attacks you do you have the skills to get away quickly or access other staff to intervene...those are the things you want to think about. While taller and heavier might make ...

the other replies are interesting and completely different from what I carried as a Psych RN at the State Psych Hosp. I had the pens but that's all really, occasionally i would carry a brain, but other than that...not much else. if I needed to get vi...

I had my first interview face to face,got tons of compliments from the interviewing panel, then did my second interview over the phone and bummed it! let's just say I never got the job :) oh well.

http://www.box.net/ we used this quite a bit during nursing and it worked well...someone will need to set up an account and share the login and password info with the rest of your class.

i think there's just a lot of power issues...because there's a lot of political garbage in nursing schools. or at least a few of the one in my state. I have enough friends in programs that I hear about different issues. i.e. if you're not dealing wit...

I AGREE completely with previous posters....I graduated from a school that did a lot of horrible.things. some student wrote letters to the president of the college...others spoke with the dean...no results. They can can make your life horrible if.you...

How does one determine which PNP specialty they want to pursue? options I have looked at so far is otolaryngology and general practice...what other interesting areas are there? is specializing a better career choice than general practice?

I have to say God has an amazing way of communicating with us sometimes...for people like me I need a hard knock on the head sometimes to get it. I had similar experiences as first person who shared their story....I actually decided to take the test ...

i agree with mekblizz posting...the books i used are listed there. I also focused on application and analysis questions...but the funny thing was i focused so much on that when i almost forgot how to answer other types of questions. but since they t...

those are good....could have totally used those while i was studying for the CLEX

thank you. oh and the BON emailed us ( i finally got my email late that night; it's clearly computer generated because i know they were not working that later) because our state stopped issuing physical cards and I guess sending paper info so we get ...

I wasn't sure if the Pearson Vue Trick works either but I tried it today after feeling like I failed the test....I got the good pop up and was like yeah right because my friend who took her test on Wednesday got an email from the BON the following da...

Hello all- I am looking at this book (link below) titled: Evolve Reach Testing and Remediation Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination (Evolve Reach Testing & Remediation Comprehensive Review). http://www.amazon.com/Testing-Remediati...
