  1. Physical Assessment

    kaliRN replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

    You have gotten great advice here. A few things I keep in mind, think in terms of body systems while going head-to-toe. Integumentary is impt - make sure to integrate it throughout your assessment....

  2. CA: How long after NCLEX to receive license?

    kaliRN replied to kaliRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I will answer my own question as I can't delete the post, perhaps someone attracted by the title will find the information useful. I received my license (posted on the BRN website) three days after I...

  3. NCLEX Exam Torture Today

    kaliRN replied to chevyv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I recently passed with 75Q and a phenomenal number of SATA questions (wish I had tallied on my whiteboard, it felt like 30-40%). I was hopeful that I passed - but only because I had heard from so many...

  4. Will you give out a medication without the order yet?

    kaliRN replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Patient Medications

  5. New Grad RN job

    kaliRN replied to Nrscass's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a new grad, so sorry no "experienced nurse" advice here. I did however want to offer this - if you are willing to relocate. In the VA Healthcare system, as long as you have an active license...

    kaliRN replied to zsoldier's topic in California Nursing

    LifeSaver is great and close to you - and if you intend to take EKG-ACLS-PALS together, this could lead to a better price. There is also Code3CPR (with locations in Orange, Mission Viejo, and online)...

  8. wound that won't heal!

    kaliRN replied to libbyjo5's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I think you have gotten some great advice here, especially about Granulex and hyperbaric. A note of Granulex, you do not have to wait for the skin to be intact. However since it is oil-based, it...

  9. what do I do? failed hesi have to settle for lpn!!

    kaliRN replied to ziggles's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    To the OP: I find it disgusting - in fact absolutely outrageous - that this is happening to you. What is your University's motivation for requiring completing HESI's exit exam to qualify a student...

  10. How long do we have to take boards generally??

    kaliRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely different in each state, our BRN posts dates on our letter stating we are eligible to test. There was also a date on my ATT (though if she never applied for NCLEX a second time, she would...

  11. My vent and What I will learn from it?

    kaliRN replied to SmilesNoir's topic in General Nursing
