    lolaviex replied to KittyLovinRN's topic in Home Health

    I wear these slip on Skechers. They're easy to slip on and off. Not that other shoes are hard to put on but I'll take a break anywhere I can get it. I clean them with a rag and white shoe polish once...

  3. How hard is the new NCLEX 2013 Test Plan

    lolaviex replied to souleater11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    lolaviex replied to souleater11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NCLEX and passed with 75 questions. I only had 4-5 SATA, one EKG, one math, and one picture. I was a little worried because I had heard that the more SATA's you have the better. That...

  5. My apologies

    lolaviex replied to BurgundySwanson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm having that experience as we speak! I used to think others were exaggerating or being irrational. But.. I took NCLEX today and left the testing center 100% convinced that I failed. The test wasn't...

    lolaviex replied to christinem2388's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The time will pass whether or not you're working toward your goal. You WILL turn 30!! Do you want to be a nurse at 30 or do you want to still be working on your pre reqs? That was the talk I had to...

    lolaviex replied to Maddy_Rose's topic in Medical-Surgical

  10. What was the most memorable reaction you had from a patient?

    lolaviex replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I'm a white woman, tall at 5'10 and chubbier than I should be. I walked into an elderly patients room with two Filipina nurses who were very tiny. Both of them are less than 5'0 tall and barely 100...

    lolaviex replied to jess1029's topic in General Students

    lolaviex replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    lolaviex posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  15. Lost in the Details

    lolaviex replied to Stcroix's topic in General Nursing

    lolaviex replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    If you have access to open lab hours at school I'd recommend utilizing that to work on your skills. You can go as fast or slow as you need to, and get familiar with the equipment. It's easier to...

  20. Cheating (unintentionally and intentionally)

    lolaviex replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

  21. Digital voice recorder for nursing lectures?

    lolaviex replied to Jaynie_Marie's topic in General Students

    lolaviex replied to Poochiewoochie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. Nursing Teaching Plan

    lolaviex replied to LPN Crystal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  25. Preceptorship Help Please

    lolaviex replied to lolaviex's topic in Oncology

    Thank you all for the replies! The reason oncology wasn't an option is only because we were given a very small list to choose from and it simply wasn't one of the options. However, I did ask the...
