  1. I did it!!

    epiphany replied to csh7382's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It comes in the mail in about two weeks - both license and registration. If you need a copy sooner, for job, school, whatever, search for your name, which would appear about 4 days after your test,...

  2. Code Blue!

    epiphany replied to vegnurse21's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I getting a funny visual on that - pt wakes up in the midst of a chest compression and says: "what the hell are you

  3. Will a new grad be considered.. if experience is required?

    epiphany replied to newnurse.rs's topic in General Nursing

    They might ask you why you want L&D, and what has been your clinical/internship experience - ie, the kind nursing care you gave. I got that a

  4. Induction Question

    epiphany replied to tumblebug's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If I read you correctly, are you looking for the comfort of knowing there is ABSOLUTELY NO RISK from an induction? I don't think anyone here can, or will tell you that you have nothing to worry...

  5. Future CNMs

    epiphany replied to ayndim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The Farm is definitely of my list. So is the Zita West clinic in England. You sound like you have a lot of knowledged and experience tucked under belt already. I'm a baby by comparison. I had a...

  6. Future CNMs

    epiphany replied to ayndim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi all: Just wanted to share my story on my progress with my CNM goal. I am on a straight line, tunnelled-vision road to being a midwife/woman's NP. I just graduated BSN and started the CNM course...

    epiphany replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Not feeling so good anymore

    epiphany replied to Plucker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Quick results are posted on Saturday as far as I know from friends. I think if you read through the "after-test" posts here, you'd find very similar responses to yours, and most end up passing, if...

  9. FNP vs WHNP vs Midwife vs PA???

    epiphany replied to lauritasol's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry, but your post confuses me. I feel like you love what a midwife does, but you are trying to find ways to be one without being identified as one. (?) You say you have midwives and MDs...

  10. Annoyed that public doesn't know what nurses do?

    epiphany replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of the best ideas I have heard yet, thank you, I will implement

  11. review book for nclex-rn

    epiphany replied to goziem72's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to buy one, but buy one that has questions separated by subjects. That way, after covering one subject, let's say maternity, you can attempt to answer the nclex questions to reinforce...

  12. Will a new grad be considered.. if experience is required?

    epiphany replied to newnurse.rs's topic in General Nursing

    New grad/job hunter here. What everyone said is true, and I've had several offers even though the job is officially "experienced required". Maybe one of the reasons is because the job description...

    epiphany replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Thanks,

  15. Transverse presentation - not vertex!

    epiphany replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi RaeT: I'm just a newbie, and waiting to hear what the L&D nurses here have to say, but could you explain why they would stuff the arm back? Is that bad that the arm is

  16. graduate school for nurses

    epiphany replied to krisssy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi all: I've registered for Theories of Nursing and Patho I, and starting next week. Here goes nothing. Good luck to all of you

  17. My Teacher Says Nurses Eat Their Young

    epiphany replied to jab3da's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with that. On the other hand, there is a reason that myth persists in the profession. IMO, nurses are always walking the edge of time and intensity, the situation is not condusive to taking...

  18. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    epiphany replied to randie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Okay, first, I'm not trying to stir up anything - just a point of clarification, since many people have their own ideas about how the nclex grading works, and this is what I know from the Kaplan talk...

    epiphany replied to mtnmom's topic in General Nursing

  20. abandonment

    epiphany replied to grannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    if i may chime in, the above is true. according to my nursing guide to practice by the office of professions, for you to have committed patient abandonment, you must have established a nurse-patient...

  21. question about insulin, heparin injections

    epiphany replied to leopold's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Buttons: First of, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. But I have a question concerning the physiology of what happened to you. If you were on heparin - probably too much heparin at that...

  22. Delegating, Disaster, Priortizing questions

    epiphany replied to MarylandNsgStudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan has lots of prioritizing/delegation

  23. Are patients confused about what to call NP's?

    epiphany replied to epiphany's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I like that approach, although I have to get used to a title. I am used to introducing myself by my first name. To follow up,as an NP, do you ever have to explain to a patient who asks, what your role...

  24. Received an "F" for a "B"!

    epiphany replied to Anjann's topic in General Nursing

    So, you want a piece o' me??!! Just kidding. :-) For me I felt like the math took away precious lecture time. The only thing I needed to know was the required conversions, which could have been...

  25. Received an "F" for a "B"!

    epiphany replied to Anjann's topic in General Nursing

    The thing with the Gray text book is that it's very comprehensive, and if you were tested on that, you had to know formulas and every conversion that ever existed in drug calculation. I haven't had to...
