    Reviewing stillbirth strips

    I think that I would feel the same way. It would be very hard for me to review a strip if mom's name was included on it. I suppose at this point all identifying features would be removed. I would feel...

    rn salary in texas

    You may also want to check salary.com if you haven't done so. They can give you a good "ballpark" estimate based on your area of nursing. They also give percentiles on what a nurse earns in your area,...

    horror stories...

    And if you're in to the paranormal, there's a thread in here about ghost stories related to nursing! That's pretty fascinating,
  7. Wow, three absences in a year?? That's pretty stiff. Real life happens and there are some days that you have to miss. I'm sure that someone would look at 3 absences in a month and have grounds for...

    hang in there kiyasmom. as i said in another post, no one walks away from the test thinking that they aced it. the nclex isn't one of those types of tests. everyone walks out of there feeling like...

    please help got 200 questions on NCLEX-PN

    I believe that the priority questions are the "which patient would you see first type" questions. I also believe that they not only are "which would you see in the clinic" but if there was a disaster,...

    Took LPN NCLEX today and SO DEPRESSED!

    When you're under a lot of stress, a mistake like that would be easy to make. It might balance itself out when a made a good call on a more difficult question. Good

    Took LPN NCLEX today and SO DEPRESSED!

    i do hope that this makes you feel better, but i've been on this board for almost 2 years now. i've been reading this forum for a while (nearly as long) and i can't remember one person who has come...

    For all the RN's that passed nclex on 1st shot

    Just for interest sake, I have the 2004 results from our state board of nursing for all schools in our state. It's very interesting to note that one of the private schools (the one wanting...

    For all the RN's that passed nclex on 1st shot

    I don't know if this has been posted yet but in the year 2004, 87,173 candidates took the NCLEX in the U.S. with 85.26% passing on the first try. Keep that in mind when you take the test, that...

    Was I wrong to call in sick?

    Maybe your super was thinking you didn't have a cold, rather allergies with coughing and sneezing. There are some people who think that you should be able to work with a BAD allergy attack. After all,...

    I was horrified today!!!!

    That's pretty scary... and it's really sad; as a stroke survivor/head injury pt I HATE it when someone talks about a patient thinking he or she can't understand what you are saying. :angryfire This is...

    L&D Straight out of Nursing School?

    My theory on the med/surg year, yes, you might get some experience and some good organization skills, but if you KNOW what you want to do (L&D, newborn, etc.) why make yourself miserable working...

    Curious about salaries??

    Salary.com is a great tool for getting a general idea of what a nurse makes in different areas. I think for comparison reasons it's great, but salary.com is pretty out of line with what a nurse makes...
  20. I think what Siri meant by a "no hire" list is one that is kept within the organization that the OP is leaving. It might not be a problem if the OP is from a large area, but if the organization is...

    Palomar CC, San Marcos

    When I lived in CA (Poway, went to HS in Escondido), Palomar Community College had a great program. From what I understand now, the nursing program is highly recommended. If you're in North County,...

    Suzanne, one of the mods will surely read your post. She highly recommends Saunders and she has a 100% pass rate for those who use her system. She reads this forum and hopefully she can give you a...

    NCLEx...again!

    Exactly what KatieBell said, don't let your past dictate your future. The amount of questions you get is not an indication of whether you pass or fail. Some people have failed at 75, others have...

    Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    Ummm.... did they learn nothing from Katrina and that nursing home that lost 40+ residents just because they didn't want to evacuate for whatever reason? These people don't have your best interests in...
