    JustBeachyNurse replied to faRaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't looked at Khan but have heard good things for a free review. Hurst is good for content whereas Kaplan is good for test taking strategies. LearningNext works for many but you can use too...

    JustBeachyNurse replied to faRaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought it was free repeat or money back guarantee. Check out the free NCLEX-RN prep videos on khan academy to see if it fills in the gaps. Are you certain you failed or are you just basing this...

    JustBeachyNurse replied to PCFR411's topic in Cardiac

    Most monitor techs are desk bound, off unit or even off site and not involved in direct patient care. I referred the OP to a good source to learn rhythms interactively online that should promote...

    Hematoma with blood draws

    JustBeachyNurse replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    JustBeachyNurse replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    That's my point. Shadow in an unfamiliar area like you did with LDRP. It's ridiculous to have an experienced person already on facility staff shadow in an area they already have worked

    Hematoma with blood draws

    JustBeachyNurse replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm shocked she's permitted to remain in the study! When I did research if someone had a hematoma form upon needle insertion they were dropped. Period. Risk was too great. Hopefully the PI and study...

    This is someone who did not pass their competency test for a monitor tech job and was retaking later this week and said "help need answers". There is no way to teach someone on an Internet forum all...
