I've been at Dekalb for 5 years. It has its ups and downs but overall I love it. Our stepdown unit can be crazy but some people really like that. I haven't really talked to anyone who works in CDU. I have a lot of friends who work at South Fulton and...

I did the AACN practice test too. Loved David Woodruff's course but wanted more practice. I reviewed questions from Pass CCRN and that helped some. For the CMC I got the review course from Med-Ed and it was very helpful.

Good luck! I took it a couple years ago and passed on my first try. I used the Ed4Nurses review course (David Woodruff) and it was very helpful.

I passed on my first try, and the main review I used was David Woodruff's. I also used Pass CCRN for practice questions. Good luck!

We had a patient who complained the bed was too soft and wanted some plywood to sleep on...

I thought David Woodruff's review course was great. I passed the exam on the first try. I did use AACN's self assessment test as well, just to boost my confidence and prove to myself that I was ready. :)

Ideally on my floor the charge nurse has no patients... however, I've had as many as 5 while charging before. I like to take 1 or 2 patients sometimes just to make things a little easier for my coworkers, but sometimes it's more helpful to them to ju...

Hey everyone... I had a question about the quick results. I am a Georgia resident, so I was excited that GA participated in the Quick Results thing... I got my ATT this morning but there were no openings in GA until sometime in July. So I scheduled t...

I also use my cell phone to text people occasionally throughout the night, but not when I'm with a patient of course. And I always keep in on vibrate. We have a couple of techs who are on the phone ALL NIGHT LONG. Yes, that includes while they're doi...

"Please bathe patient. If nursing staff is too incompetent to do this, please inform me." This order was written on a 26 year old young man, who walked all around the hospital at least 8 hours a day, and was perfectly capable of taking a shower. He j...

We check for discrepancies every shift, but only do the count of all narcotics once a week.

Hello everyone... I was wondering if anyone knows how long it generally takes to receive an RN license after passing the boards. I know I passed thanks to those wonderful quick results, now I'm eager to get my license so I can start working. Thanks.....

Well, if you are interested, mine was posted on the website today- 8 days from the test date. Hope it doesn't take you long either! Congrats on passing! Such a relief, isn't it? :)

1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 79 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? I used Davis and Mosby books... just reviewed peds and mother/baby and did lots of questions. No review course. 3. Did your ...

Hey, I was wondering how NCLEX results work here in GA. I went to school in TN and my friends found out in a week, so I was wondering how long it takes most people in GA? Also, how do you find out? Is it posted on the BON website or do you get an ema...

I plan to graduate with my ADN in May from a school in TN. I will be moving back to GA after graduation though. I was wondering if I can take the NCLEX in GA instead of taking it in TN then having to get it transferred.

Thanks for your replies :)

I struggle so much with coming up with nursing interventions. My diagnoses are #1 Risk for hemorrhage r/t cesarean section and uterine involution #2 Acute Pain r/t cesarean section AEB dependence on pain medication and tenderness of abdomen to to...

I just discovered this forum today... seems like a really neat group of people! I finally got my acceptance letter last week. I'm starting the AASN program at Jackson State Community College in TN this August. I had to drive up there on Thursday (I ...
