Good morning everyone, I am currently taking a the periop course through AORN. Its an internship offered at a teaching hospital. We had to pay the AORN fee of $750 We had a month of didactics and are now in the rotation of the different surgery teams...

Hi, Thank you for your reply. We asked ourselves the same question of why we payed for it ourselves. We are in an internship and going through the rotations, we are full time employees here, so they do pay us to be there. I thought i would like the O...

Good Morning everyone, I have been a med/surg nurse for the past 3 years and its time for a change. I went to a informational session in one of our hospitals about their OR internship and I am intrigued. My first and only experience was during clini...

So, I have been working in a rehab hospital for about 6 month now. I love it and it is my first job after nursing school. I got hired as PRN 7a-7p 2-3 days a week. I also got oriented on all the other shifts, so I can work those if needed. Here is t...

I know that I told myself that when I get my first paycheck as a nurse, I am going to blow it. My husband was on board with that. We blew it on stupid things, but it felt great. Now, I am paying of bills and put the rest of it in savings. Feels good ...

I was hired in a rehab facility. We have a folder with skills that we need to get checked off on. Every new hire has to do it. We also had a med and drug dosage test before our first day on the floor, but it was nothing major.

Psych has its own nursing diagnosis book...shoot, I can't remember the name since I never used it. Google might be your best bet..:)

The good pop is, when you take your nclex and afterwards you try to register for another nclex test... If you have passed, a pop up will come up and say: our records indicate that you recently scheduled an exam. Another registration can not be made a...

Congratulations!!!

Good luck tomorrow! Read one question at a time. Answer it and move on. I was scared, just like you, but you will be fine. I have done Kaplan and scored mostly 60%, I watched all the videos on there. Again, you will be fine!! Good luck!

Me too, and one of my friend...:)

Is there anyone going from Fredericksburg? We could carpool and use the hov lanes..:)

Omg, I took the test this morning and it was scary. I had 75 questions, 20 SATA, 3 EKG, and like 3 drop/drag. I didn't know what to think of that! Went home, checked Pearson vue and got the good pop up..:) I keep checking it but nothing has changed....

I reviewed my notes from Kaplan, did questions and read each rationale. I stopped 2 days ago cause I was so tired and exhausted...:)

I am driving to Washington DC to take the test..:)

I would not sign up for Kaplan yet, but you can get the book to download for free. Dont worry about it yet, you still have time to learn the content and get ready for it. I am taking my NCLEX tomorrow, believe me, i am scared. You dont know whats go...

I am taking it tomorrow morning. I am so nervous, its not even funny..

Hmmm, okay! I went to do paperwork there and she took a pic and handed me my badge..:? Are you all going on the 11th? I should bring a sign that says "all nurses".. :)

Did you go to HR? That's where I got mine..:) Nicole

I totally agree...its a way to get in. And ArtieRN, you are right, its better than sitting around and doing nothing. I was offered the position and took it... Now all i have to do is pass my NCLEX... Nicole

I thought it went well. My friend was already offered the position today. I have not heard anything.. I hope I get an offer..:)

Ok... We had this on Kaplan. So inflow is 2000, outflow is 1800... Therefore, 200 stayed in. Then he drinks 700. That's 900 intake. They are not asking what he put out, only what he took in. Answer is 900. Hope this helps.

Congratulations on getting into a nursing program. My advice would be: get organized, read a little everyday. I am a morning person, so i get most of my stuff done before 2pm when it comes to reading. At night, i write my flashcards or other stuff. ...

School for me starts in 2 weeks..i am excited. I have all my books, office is all set up and i am ready to go. Orientation is the 16th, classes start the 19th. Its hot here and i think i am going to go to the pool today....
