   Goody86 replied to senseiRN's topic in NCLEX

   The funny thing is that kaplan had two review questions about herpes zoster. One said that since the area of the body affected could be covered they could resume working, and the other question stated that a person had herpes zoster on the trunk of h...

2. Number Of Questions You Felt Like You Knew

   Goody86 replied to tostu's topic in NCLEX

   Probably 10-15 of each for the 82 questions I had. Most of them I could narrow down to 2 answers. It really tests your critical and analytical thinking.

   I'm intermediate care. We will be neighbors, so maybe you'll receive patients from the ED and stabilize them, they'll go to surgery, then I'll get them until discharge. lol

7. Associates degree vs. Bachelor's Degree with RN experience

   As a student, who has read about the difficulty new graduates have been having finding jobs, my personal opinion is that it has more to do with working in nursing homes...if picking from the two reasons. There are soo many ADN prepared nurses(more th...

    Goody86 replied to studystudy's topic in California

    My application status has not changed yet...still says "we have contacted you for an interview." Yes, 7 West. I wouldn't get discouraged. I don't think the manager has contacted anyone else yet. Said she wouldn't be back in the office until Tuesday.

    Qualifications are different for everyone. My leadership experience is my strength, so I highlighted that. It all comes down to in person impression if you get the chance, in my opinion.

    There really isn't time for anything but Q&A. I brought a copy of an article I wrote, but I didn't hand it to the manager until I was walking away b/c I didn't want to take up any question time.

    The way it worked when I went was everyone checked in at a desk and they made copies of licenses or certifications, then I waited in a room with everyone else until it was my turn to interview. After the manager interview, myself and others who had j...
