We don't tell a squad to wait. We move the now stable pt into the hallway if we need the room.

I have worked on the floor and now I work in the ER. We have a policy that no patients can go up to the floor during shift change. So for us, no transport or giving report of pt's between 7am-8am and 7p-8pm. We hold them in the ER til 8 then send ...

I am a nurse, and I got Guillain Barre Syndrome from the flu shot many years before I was a nurse. I have never gotten the flu shot since I have been a nurse, neither have my 3 children. We haven't had the flu in our home yet. We wash our hands. I...

The first step is to speak with Nurse manager and ask her for a new preceptor. The preceptor you have does not necessarily know what she is doing just because she has been there for 20 years. That nurse gives the good nurses a bad name. She has no...

DANSKO by far. Prior to becoming a nurse I was a flight attendant spending up to 18 hours a day on my feet at 35,000 feet where most people's feet swell. Dankso's are not only comfortable but they are good for your feet/back. They provide good sup...

Wow. I won't forget this. Wish I could make a copy of it and give it every family member that insists on not listening to the wishes of the patient.

They should give you the opportunity to discuss it with significant people in your life. At least one day. Then I would cal your 1st choice and tell them that you have an offer on the table but that their hospital is your 1st choice. Is there any way...

Please don't beat yourself up. You are not stupid. What is stupid is that you passed the same test as a BSN nurse yet they feel that a BSN nurse is more qualified. What I find in my hospital is that the ADN RN's are better prepared on the floor then ...

It's funny they did that at my hospital with me. I am ADN RN and I was not even off probation when they asked me to be in charge along with one other BSN nurse. I was so caught off guard when they asked me. I asked her if I could think about it. Whe...

First off nursing nclex questions are a breed of their own. I so vividly remember being in your shoes. Knowing now what I know, all the answers are correct and I get them correct without hesitation.(that is because I was answering those questions for...

I keep reading things about CA.. They are pretty screwed up there. In NY you can't even register to take NCLEX until they recieve info from the school that you have graduated. You can apply for licensure and send all your information in before you ...

I never really had anything good to say about school except I did make some of the best friends there. I still remember my first day thinking this is going to be the worst two years of my life. But thank God for my study group or I wouldn't have ma...

Congrats!!!!:yeah: to everyone that just passed. I just got my actual license in the mail. What a nice feeling. Now if I could only get a job. The job market in the NY city area really stinks for new grads. If anyone can help me with that let me ...

I am looking into Chamberlain online myself. I know someone who is doing it and she like it. She is working full time and says it is doable. I found out I passed my boards today so I want to keep this going. I have a BA in Business and the Associat...

I would believe the 6,000 other messages that it works. Not the one that didn't. If you got the good pop up... relax and wait for the good news. Let us know.

Don't bring anything. They won't even let you wear a watch. You can't wear ear plugs either. They give you a pair of headsets to wear that you use to answer question and to block noises out. And no water, gum.... Nothing. After two hours you can t...

I listened to them myself. They were awesome. I just found out today that I passed. I downloaded them onto my ipod. They were my friends. Look on Ebay to see if someone is selling the entire thing. I know that you don't want to spend the money. ...

In NY you can't even take the NCLEX until your school has sent in transcripts.

For the person who took it in NH... She saw her name on NH Board of Nursing website. That is how she found out on Monday. The person asking about Transcripts... not sure what you are asking about. If you are in CA from everything that I have read ...

My best friend took it in NH on a Tuesday and she didn't get her results til Monday.. She didn't know about the good pop blocker thing... But I believe in it... So try to relax and believe in yourself. I believe you did it.

I took the test at 8am I was home by 9:30 and did it right away for the next 48 hours. I got my results almost exactly 48hours from the time I finished the exam.

I was a skeptic with this, but I had to try the trick. I tried probably about 100 times over the last 48 hours. I got cut off at 75 questions and truly felt like I had failed. I had so many SATA questions and the questions were more difficult than an...

I took it yesterday and I am dying. I made it through today. One of my friends from school came to hang out with me. My kids were at school and I was going crazy. Get out of the house, go excercise, read a book that doesn't weigh 25 lbs, or one th...

Everyone says that if it says what yours said then you passed. I am in the same situation but took it yesterday so tomorrow is the big day. Good luck! I hope you pass.

Someone already said it. Give yourself a break! You made it through Nursing school. That is an accomplishment in itself. You did do better the 2nd time. It kept giving you questions... so you almost made it. I know that doesn't make you feel bett...
