I know this may sound queer, but when I was a student and was very short of cash, what I did was post a message to the student board in our school for those who want to sell their old books. Sure enough I got much more than what I expected. I hope this may help you too.

I had never been to England but in my place, any person who entered a psychiatric unit is searched for items that might be use by the patient to harm himself, other patient or staff, this could be anything from your bandage scissor to a piece of string, to your pen. Visitors or non medical staff are searched and advised appropriately, items are confiscated and returned after the visit, but again this would depend on the particular unit they will enter. Some units are very strict some are not. For medical staff usual precaution is always maintained, items ofcourse are not confiscated but kept away from patient and again it will depend on the unit you are in, no orifice search ofcourse. If you think that you have a lot of suicidal or violent patient like Hannibal Lecter be careful :) but most psychiatric patient are actually harmless.

Hi! Im reviewing 4 my NCLEX and I have been reading all the the other messages of nurses. Although most of them passed the NCLEX Im still scared because of the new format of NCLEX, maybe they all passed because I will be the one who will fail . Yes I am a little paranoid, so please could anyone of those who has taken the test add or give examples of the actual test i.e. what drugs were included in the test, what multiple answers were asked and other questions. I think it would really help me as well as other nurses who will take the test. If each nurse would give or post even one question they remember in the test theres a mighty good chance it would help us pass the NCLEX. :) thanks!
