  1. The more I study the more I realize how much I still don't know!!

    DaFreak71 replied to cherielpn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    in my experience, the obscure questions are not included (like ana titers). the patho part definitely helps to lead you to the correct answers, but i believe the questions are more application than...

  2. The more I study the more I realize how much I still don't know!!

    DaFreak71 replied to cherielpn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If anyone says they know everything about nursing....they are lying or delusional. It's ok that you don't know everything. You aren't supposed to. NCLEX doesn't expect it, nor does nursing school...

  3. oh my god! i need help! took nclex yesterday!

    DaFreak71 replied to mamut's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So why not reply with the answer? FYI--it's select all that apply. As a staff member you should know that (I'm assuming you do) and giving the poor student the answer would have been the polite...

  5. can i take the lpn exam

    DaFreak71 replied to gemini525's topic in LPN to RN

    Washington state allows RN students to sit for the NCLEX-PN once they have completed fundamentals/med surg/psych and OB. In Washington you just have to send in your transcript and a letter from your...

  6. Warning - excelsior students

    DaFreak71 replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Short version: Cali doesn't view EC's clinical hours as adequate, and thus does not permit those clinical hours to count. Long version: www.rn.ca.gov/pdfs/forms/excelsiornewsrelease.pdf Knowledge is...

  7. Predictability of Saunders NCLEX review tests/exams

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am currently reviewing for the NCLEX using the 3rd edition of Saunders NCLEX review. I have been studying the book and using the CD that accompanied it. I've been taking the 100 question exams in...

  8. Warning - excelsior students

    DaFreak71 replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I really do respect your opinion. I can understand someone who has had many doors slammed in their face becoming discouraged to the point of distancing themselves from an emotionally draining...

  9. Predictability of Saunders NCLEX review tests/exams

    DaFreak71 replied to DaFreak71's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for all the replies! :wink2: I am wondering if those who have exclusively used the Saunders current edition of the NCLEX-PN review if the questions on the actual NCLEX-PN are representative of...

  10. NCLEX is crap...

    DaFreak71 replied to blacklace85's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel your pain (in advance...still gotta take my test) but somehow I just KNOW that my test will be comprised of ALL OB and Meds. LOL---my weak areas! Despite reviewing, some of this stuff just...

  11. Predictability of Saunders NCLEX review tests/exams

    DaFreak71 replied to DaFreak71's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking the PN...on April 6th to be exact lol. Do you think my scores are predictive of success? I'm doing my

  12. Rn delegation to LPN

    DaFreak71 replied to Stephys's topic in LPN to RN

    Just playing devils advocate here, but MAYBE the nursing student wanted to get her feet wet by: a. Reinforcing in her mind what tasks could be delegated. b. Practicing her communication skills with...

  13. Warning - excelsior students

    DaFreak71 replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't be so quick to beat up on the OP. He said that she got her degree (and license I'm guessing because she was applying for a R.N. job at several facilities). The problem he identified was that...

  14. Beyond Meds and Charting

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I am due to graduate nursing school in December of this year. I feel a very strong pull toward psychiatric nursing. I discovered a thread on this forum entitled "A Day in the Life". It asked what...

  15. Starting all over--pipe dream or possibility?

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in General Students

    This was my final semester and I withdrew due to not being able to cope with a dysfunctional nursing school. I am moving across the country at the end of this month. How realistic is it that another...

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in General Students

  19. getting a job with a narc restriction

    DaFreak71 replied to ms. papa RN AGAIN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This statute means: 1. she was found guilty of unprofessional conduct (testing positive). 2. She was punished (how I don't know...could be losing her job, or her license, not sure). 3. Whatever...

  20. Beyond Meds and Charting

    DaFreak71 replied to DaFreak71's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm definitely more interested in a long term care setting (VA, state hospitals, etc)...so perhaps more communication can take place there as opposed to the "in-n-out" short term units. From what I've...

  21. What is your stress relief during nursing school?

    DaFreak71 replied to mzjennx's topic in General Students

    Just being honest here... 1. Come home and vent for awhile 2. Blog on MySpace, blasting whoever I want (profile set to private, no names used, etc). 3. Sometimes blog on private blog where I can use...

  22. Beyond Meds and Charting

    DaFreak71 replied to DaFreak71's topic in Psychiatric

  23. Beyond Meds and Charting

    DaFreak71 replied to DaFreak71's topic in Psychiatric

    With regard to the various therapy groups that the patients attend in a longer term setting...do R.N.'s play any role in them? Ideally what I'd like to do is to be able to talk to my patients on a...

  24. How do I break up with my study buddy?

    DaFreak71 replied to sunchild's topic in General Students

    Been there, done that! I'm a loner when it comes to studying. I was lucky enough to find one person to study with during my first two semesters of nursing school and we were a perfect match! I had...

  25. Sex and Nursing School

    DaFreak71 replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    Don't know about ya'll...but I'm still interested in the two hour block of time for sex. Is there like a special diet/exercise plan/? for that level of stamina? If so...could you please divulge that...
