Yes to answer your question.

average age on my unit is about 28... All nurses are under 35. I working in surgical trauma ICU

Sorry no matter how bad you want to leave... you gotta hang in there. Wait a year and then leave. The experience you get will take you a LONG way

500mg reconstituted in 1.0 ml That means 1.0 ml has 500mg So each 0.1ml had 50 mg Draw up 0.8 ml and you get 400mg 0.8ml x 50mg - 400 mg Hope I'm doing it correctly

You can do pediatric ER

Very good question. They were NOTHING like the nclex. However, it was a good tool to review what you didn't so that you can go back and study it. There about 5 knowledge based, easy to answer questions on the nclex.

I used RN mentor app on iPhone and just studied endocrine system s ince I knew diabetes Addison's and cushings was going to be on the nclex

My friends who took their exam at 8am got their license number but I think I will have to wait till Monday to get mine since I took my exam at 2p on Thursday

I waited 3 weeks. If it's been more than two weeks and you haven't heard anything, give them a call or email them

Did you turn in all your paperwork? Pearson vue, finger prints, and faxed or mailed your ID. If so, it should take up to a week for you to be cleared to test.

I tried the Pearson vue trick and I got the good pop up but It's not enough. I want something that says I passed! ;-)

Just took exam today ... Now waiting for results!

Hello everyone! Does anyone know how long my application will be delayed since I did not pay Pearson vue at the time the BON reviewer my initial application for licensure?? I just sent in my passport and paid Pearson vue about 4 days ago. Everything else has been done!

Hey everyone! Good luck on your interviews. I'm so happy for you all. I'm a 4th semester student and I love the SON at CSU. The instructors are great and really prepare you to become a good nurse! Again good luck

Good job! you did the right thing.

Is morphine still contraindicated for pancreatitis?

Hey Jase, I am 6ft and I also wear a 32x32 or 32x34. So went a head and ordered the extra tall size and they were way too long. So I had to send them back and order the tall size. They are pretty good with the length so I don't think you should worry too much about the length. But for the ladies, the uniform sizes are run big so you would probably have to order a size smaller then your regular size because a lot of my classmates were complaining that their uniforms were too big. As for computers, I saw everyone in my class with just a labtop. I didn't see any netbooks. My choice would just be a labtop Hope this helps, See you guys are orientation

esme12, call you help with my post about the bladder? Thanks.

Hey everyone! What are the percussion sounds over urinary retention? What are normal percussion sounds of the bladder? Our instructor said that it is tympany over urinary retention but I couldn't find it anywhere to clarify. Thanks

We only wear uniforms on clinical days Tuesday and Wednesday. However, there are about 2-3 days throughout the entire semester where you would have to wear uniforms to lab. As far as studying, it really depends on what you have going on in a given week. But on average about 4-5 hours of studying a day and that includes other assignments such as studying for check offs, care plans etc. Keep in mind that this is just for one of the two classes I have. For example, I get home from class everyday by 1 or 2. I eat, study from 3-7 or 3-10pm. After that, I prepare myself for bed and get ready for the next day. My schedule is pretty easy to maintain because I don't work and I don't have a spouse or children. There will be some days you have other issues going on and nursing might not fit in your schedule and you would have to study for 2 hours that day and just catch up later. Some days you might not study at all and that is totally fine as long as you don't get behind that much. Your first 2 weeks will be crazy but you will get the hang of it later and say to yourself "I got this!". LoL Sorry if im talking too much but you will have fun in the middle of all the stress because nursing material is very interesting. But anyway, I don't wanna write a book. so if you have anymore questions let me know.

You need to know specifically grains, drams, teaspoons, quarts, pints. The book come with a chart with the conversion. but you don't really need to know all of them for the dosage test because in your first week they will give you a sheet with the conversions that you need to know for the dosage test. I would recommend two uniforms but you can purchase additional pair later on if you think you need them. I didn't even buy my shoes until 2 weeks after classes started because we didn't need to be in full uniform until the first medication check off which was 2 or 3 weeks after classes had started. Hope this helps,

Hey guys! The old edition for the dosage book will suffice. I didn't know there would be a new edition until I got the bundle and I had already studied from the old edition. It is the same exact way of solving the problem with dimensional analysis. The only thing different is the actually math problems. However, when you start your instructor will check the entire new edition for completeness. But I was glad I had studied with the old edition regardless of what edition was in the packet. Now about the shoes, you can get any shoes you want. Just make sure they are all white with maybe very little color around the trim of the show. I got mine from the Nike outlet for $45 and they are comfortable. I would not go that cheap on the shoes because you will be standing and walking for most of the day at clinical. Here's the link of a shoe similar to mine, I'm a guy so it's a men's shoe :). http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-418069/pgid-438939

Wow really good thanks!
