  1. RESCHEDULE??

    NPOaftermidnight replied to itsbekah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It sounds like managing your anxiety is going to be just as important as any amount of studying you can do. As a graduate nurse, I'm sure you know that your reaction to anxiety is neither normal nor...

  2. NCLEX 265 questions

    NPOaftermidnight replied to chassi3lynn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my boards friday and just found out I passed with 75 questions (hooray!). I used Kaplan a little (I answered all of the questions but I didn't read the chapters) and went through the whole...

  3. EKG on NCLEX?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to wfas457's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had to interpret an EKG strip (I didn't have to name it, but obviously i had to know what it was to select the correct intervention). I'm not sure who would say it wouldn't be on the test, there...

  4. NCLEX ready or not ?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to hannah.banana's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What has helped me more than anything are the test-taking strategies - like using Maslow's hierarchy to determine priority intervention/diagnosis, using ABC's, choosing the option that allows you to...

  5. CNA & Nursing School

    NPOaftermidnight replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    I know it's different everywhere, but around here (NY) you can get a lot better pay and a lot better experience working as a tech in a hospital, usually all you have to do to qualify is have one...

  6. Is CNA even worth going for?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to angellove6776's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just to say you "started from the bottom" isn't a good reason to do it. Working as a CNA in a nursing home is a completely different job than working as an RN in, say, a hospital. If you want to...

  7. I will never be a nurse. Should I just change my major?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you need a little tough love. I would say your best option is to get your a$$ in gear and bring your grades up! Most schools have tutoring centers, utilize it. Talk to your professor and...

  8. doing the work of a CNA at a lesser pay

    NPOaftermidnight replied to grace_lorraine87's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    RNs start at $18 an hour?! I started at $15 as an HCT (aka PCT). HCTs that have been here for a few years make significantly more than that. It's crazy how much salary varies by

  9. Neuro Nurse Practitioner

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Delilah11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know an excellent neurocritical care NP who is an FNP. (This is in

  10. SUNY Upstate Medical & RN Licensure?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to nynursey_'s topic in New York Nursing

    I'm sure you've found the answer to your question by now but I just thought I'd see if you decided to apply. I am also in my last year of an ADN program and applied for the RN to MSN program for Fall...

  11. Work shoes! Please help

    NPOaftermidnight replied to joshsmother's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I have knee/hip issues and my Dansko's are the only shoes I can wear for a 12 hour shift and still be able to walk the next morning. I have no complaints of stiffness or sore joints/feet since I got...

  12. Should i get my CNA?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to 1futurenurse12's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I worked as a CNA before I started nursing school. It depends on the jobs available in your area, but as a CNA I was working at a nursing home making like $9 an hour. Now, I work as a tech in the...

  13. Associate degree in Nursing to NP?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to autumn_sky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I also graduated with a BS in Sociology 3 years ago : ) I'm now in my last semester of an ADN program and applying to RN-MSN programs for Fall 2013. There are plenty of MSN programs that don't...
