Like HappyJax said, rationales are a must. I think that it would be pretty pointless to study without the rationales. Be sure you understand each rationale behind an answer. Best of luck to
Yeah, I don't know what's worse: The way it was in the "old" days. You went to one place in your state holding the exam twice a year. The testing was a 3 day affair all in one room, with pencil and...
I've always been a big fan of Echo Heron's non-fiction work, "Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse" as well as "Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse Continues." She also wrote "Tending Lives",...
This is going to be an interesting process for me when my turn comes for the NCLEX. I've heard so many different things like such and such is easier than the NCLEX and Saunder's is harder than NCLEX...
:yeahthat: Very good point!!Whether they were turned on or not I have no idea, but I really doubt that this hospital intended to tell the nurses and staff about the cameras. If it was for the concern...
What was that manager thinking in writing you up?? :angryfire You are absolutely correct in that once you take VS you enter into a nurse/pt relationship, and you become responsible. Would the NH would...
This is my personal story about the flu shot. I'm wondering if other people have similar problems. Or if I'm just weird. I got the flu shot through my employer in October. I had an initial reaction,...
I know that this is a fairly small group we are discussing and not a large study group, however, I asked my PA what she thought of Lunesta, and so far this particular clinic is very disappointed in...

I sorry to admit this, but this has happened to me before. When I moved into my husband's house after we got married, I was in such a rush to put everything in a spot. So, I placed my medication in a...
Thank you all for your replies. Wow, it's interesting that a few people have shared my experience. This really solidifies my decision not to get one next year, and I'll try to build up my immune...
If you'd like more general information on car seats, you could call your local labor and delivery educational program at a hospital in your area. I remember that they gave me a lot of good information...
Indy, I think that's the standard reply that they send ANYONE. I just hope that many people write in about this article because it's only going to get noticed if letters are coming in by volume. I do...
I first found out about the article here on allnurses. I read the article and I was pretty outraged. Especially about the part which stated to the effect of "If you feel the need to go to the ED,...
Hi Anna and welcome to allnurses! Exactly as siri said, you need to contact the Board of Nursing in Michigan. That's the first step. Secondly, I know that you aren't at this point yet but when you...

As someone else said, the nurse might have had a reason why she wanted Speech Therapy to work with him. The reason she gave wasn't a good one. Maybe she was hiding fear about her lack of knowledge...
You'd have to call the BON in other states in which you might practice. Just because it's OK in NY doesn't mean it's OK in another state. It also depends on the nursing school. Some school's have...
Can I play, too?? Just kidding... If you are diligent about your cycles, how long they actually last (not everyone is an exact 28 days which those little calendar wheels in doctor's offices are based...

I can't help but think that those in admin are trying to make the health care team (nurses, CNA's, techs) look stupid. As Marie said a long time ago, this is not Applebee's. I'd rather see it say,...
Hey Dave, I googled it and it appears to be dimenhydrinate, it's an antiemetic which sounds really close to phenergan here in the states. It's in Canada. Just for me, if I took something close to...
With the NCLEX RN you can either get the minimum number of questions which is 75, or the max being 265. Many people pass with 75 questions although some fail, ditto goes for 265. The number of...
I'm sorry to hear that you failed. I know that it's an awful feeling, but as Fun2Care says, recoup and continue on. As she said, Suzanne4 has a plan for those taking the NCLEX. You can send her a PM...
As Kiyatylese alluded it, it varies on your state. The NCLEX RN is given through a company called Pearson-Vue. You can check out their website for more information on what is done in your state. I...
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't pass. Send a PM to Suzanne4, the moderator of this forum. She has a plan for studying that has helped soooo many people. If you follow what she says, you will have a...
