   Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

   SentimentalGeek replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Thanks! :) Study resources I used included the HESI review, which was included with our school tuition and NCLEX 4000. I also had a Mosby Review book/CD, but I had the most success doing practice...

   I took NCLEX-RN today and finished with 75 questions. Tons of SATA and prioritizing questions; not a single drug, lab, ABG, I was starting to panic because I thought it was too easy. I got the good...

   Job market for graduates of UK nursing schools.

   SentimentalGeek replied to kwonggab's topic in United Kingdom

   Glad to be of some help, even if it's not the response you'd hoped for. It has been some time since I went through the immigration process and so much has changed I'm afraid I can't give you much...

   Unfortunately a student visa does not grant rights to stay on as a resident in the UK after graduation. They have really tightened up on immigration rules in the past 2 years. Check out UK Border...

   Great at care plans, suck at concept maps.

   SentimentalGeek replied to SentimentalGeek's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   Thanks for those comments explaining them a bit more in depth. Your descriptions and reasoning make sense to me and just might be what I have needed to hear all along to make it click. We haven't...

   Great at care plans, suck at concept maps.

   SentimentalGeek replied to SentimentalGeek's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   This is exactly how I feel. My brain doesn't work this way (OCD and anal-retentive very much describes my brain too!) and I'd never do this in real life - it seems like such a mess and I'm spending...

    Objective/ Subjective data

    SentimentalGeek replied to Nflower's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with all of your choices. The itching/scratching one: The patient reporting itchiness would be subjective data. Observing the patient scratching would be

    Great at care plans, suck at concept maps.

    SentimentalGeek posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just looking for any pieces of advice to make concept maps click for me. I've gotten decent grades (only missing a point or two here and there) on the care plans I've turned in, which are just...

    I really dislike Blackboard...

    SentimentalGeek replied to Always_Learning's topic in Ohio University

    Yep. I've had awesome Blackboard content, and terrible waste of time Blackboard content. Just kind of depends on what/how much time the instructor is willing to put into it, I suppose. MTA: Most...

    Patient with the bowel problem...

    SentimentalGeek replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Makes me think of the pt with diarrhea who, having been able to hold in BM while waiting for the call light to be answered to get help to the bathroom, would start pooping the second the "pull up"...

    Uniforms

    SentimentalGeek replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    Never thought of that, makes sense though! You don't want to go picking up all kinds of other stuff on your coat and bringing it back into the lab. I'm guessing the lab coats are more about putting...
