2. Standing orders for chest pain

   RegisteredNurse06 replied to wellstar's topic in Cardiac

   I did ask about enzymes and the doc didn't feel it was necessary, which is unusual for that particular doctor. Our docs are usually good about ordering enzymes, particularly when we request an order for them. I later found out that patient ended up b...

3. what was your hardest semester?

   RegisteredNurse06 replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in New Nurse

   I think the hardest semester for me was the last one. It wasn't the difficulty level of the material. It was just that I was so burnt out and at our school, they put a lot more on you in that last semester so time management is more of an issue. The ...

4. Standing orders for chest pain

   RegisteredNurse06 replied to wellstar's topic in Cardiac

   Our facility has telemetry protocol orders. Anyone admitted to our unit automatically has PRN orders for SL NTG, tylenol, O2 @2-4L/NC, EKG, and some other goofy stuff like MOM, Mylanta & a couple other things. What we don't have is orders for obt...

   You should be fine. I graduated in May and started work on a telemetry floor just a few weeks after graduation. Passed boards in July. It can be stressful and overwhelming at times BUT I love cardiac and if I have questions, there is always a more se...

8. Kawasaki Disease

   RegisteredNurse06 replied to Carla25's topic in General Students

   Oh wow.....ya know, my heart sinks every time I see those words. My son had Kawasaki Disease in Dec. 2001. He was 4 1/2 yrs old at the time. I'd never heard of Kawasaki Disease before that time. I did a lot of research and learned as much as I could ...

9. Kaplan Lovers

   RegisteredNurse06 replied to HOTGAL73's topic in NCLEX

   I took the "complete" course including the classroom review but I found the classroom review totally useless. As long as you get something that gives you access to the qtrainers and qbank, that's the important part and THAT is the part that I felt he...

    RegisteredNurse06 replied to HOTGAL73's topic in NCLEX

    No, you do NOT need a different review. Stick with Kaplan. Spend as much time as you can doing the qbank and qtrainers, reviewing the rationales behind the answers and go into this test knowing you CAN and you WILL pass. Kaplan is very difficult and ...

    RegisteredNurse06 replied to HOTGAL73's topic in NCLEX

    I don't think you should reschedule....It just adds to the anxiety. I would go ahead and get it over with. Just keep doing the qbank and qtrainers until it's time for your test. Then go in there with the confidence that you CAN pass. I talked to a gi...
