what is the difference between full COR and CODE, if any??? where did COR come from?

the best time to take your NCLEX is AS SOON as possible--right after you've graduated while the info is still fresh in your mind. i highly recommend either the saunders or mosby's NCLEX books to help you study. the best way for you to study for this exam is to do as many NCLEX q's as you can --so weeks not month after you've graduated. it's not just knowledge but your test-taking skills that matter with the NCLEX. always read the stem of each question FIRST w/o looking at the choices....then narrow your choices down and pick the best possible one for what the question is asking for. MOST IMPORTANT----do not change your answers!!!!!

i would try to find work as soon as you've graduated and passed NCLEX. then i'd focus on finding a BSN program nearby, especially one that will allow you to go at a slower pace. i would definitely not wait to find work as a RN. you can always drop your work hours later after you're done with your new grad program at your facility to accommodate school.

What is the correct and proper way to dispose of meds in the hospital setting? Crush and throw in trash? What about narcotics?
