    tmartin83 replied to demylenated's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't ebola do that also? Or do you just bleed from every

  3. ANA membership

    tmartin83 replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing

    Since you're a student you can actually join at a discount! I don't really remember, but either it was free (if you were a NSNA member), or the price was discounted. Good

  4. Kaplan Review

    tmartin83 replied to senseiRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt that the Kaplan review course was great. Our instructor for it was on point, and she helped us to narrow it down and analyze why one answer was not "the best answer", and so on. When it comes...

  5. Community College? You must be stupid.

    tmartin83 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Even though I just graduated from a 4-year BSN program (with a minor), I do at times look back and wish that I would have gone to a CC (only because I would now have about 2 years of experience under...

  6. Did I do something inappropriate?

    tmartin83 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly, this sounds like something that I would have done as well (I am also a new grad :0) ). For this situation, perhaps the HR lady though that your action was sort of "insulting" by going over...

  7. Preparing for new job!

    tmartin83 replied to tmartin83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats to you also! I took my boards on the second, so I've been... um... resting and hid the books for a while to relax, lol! Yes, I definitely remember SBAR, and I'm glad you brought that up!...

  8. Preparing for new job!

    tmartin83 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi All! So I just left my employee in-processing and health meeting, and I am kinda excited and ready to get started! I just want to know if anyone is also waiting to start their new RN jobs, and if...

  10. Math on NCLEX

    tmartin83 replied to Cindy 17's topic in General Students

    Agreed with the post above. I've also heard that math ?s are considered lower-level ?s, so the fewer the better I'm

  11. what are the things needed to be memorized

    tmartin83 replied to suchababe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also think that knowing dig blood levels and lithium blood levels would be helpful. I honestly feel that it's more on knowing the actual physical s/s that your patient can exhibit if they have high...

  12. NCLEX and Kaplan

    tmartin83 replied to Cindy 17's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! Kaplan was awesome, and I am glad that our SON made this mandatory. My overall average on all of the kaplan material (qbank and qtrainers) was 55 before I sat for NCLEX. Passed at 75?s. I actually...

  14. Graduated 2yrs ago, haven't taken nclex, how to be marketable..

    tmartin83 replied to redsky's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Definitely schedule nclex, become a member of the American Nurses Association, and keep current on CPR class, and take any other classes for certification. Also, study study study, and see if you can...

  15. Credit check along with background? *****??

    tmartin83 replied to choc0late's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, this makes perfect sense as well. I have peers who are close to 100k in debt from college, and Im sure that on a credit report the reason behind the debt is stated, right? Im really not sure...

  16. What does the RN certificate and lisence look like?

    tmartin83 replied to girlie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, some of these posts are soo mean... I just got my license a few weeks ago, and I'm from VA. If you've ever seen the license of a cosmetologist, a nail technician, or a tattoo artist (as they have...

  17. KAPLAN online q bank

    tmartin83 replied to sananurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    thanks, and i felt that it did. I did feel that the ?s in qtrainers 6 and 7 helped me to think more in-depth about the question, and the decision tree that they teach you also helps. I used the Kaplan...

  18. Hawaii RN jobs? Anyone from Hawaii?

    tmartin83 replied to RN_Job_Hunting's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Man, oh man! My husband was actually gonna get stationed in HI, but after we found out how hard it was for a new grad like me to get a job, we are now trying to get reassigned... I applied EVERYWHERE...

  19. Another worried student about the NCLEX- RN

    tmartin83 replied to i0see's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan Qbank, and my avg. score was 55. I actually moved my test date up four days, and passed. My instructors have said that being in the 50s-60s range is actually good. Make sure you remediate...

    tmartin83 replied to sananurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes! And it's sooo helpful! I did all 1200 ?s and passed NCLEX-RN with 75?s. It was mandatory for our nursing school, and I'm glad it

  22. A quick vent about APA

    tmartin83 replied to Tait's topic in General Students

    Ha! I always though that nursing should just have it's own format, instead of using the APA's technique. So get to it,

  23. Dating and nursing school: Is it best to date another student?

    tmartin83 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I was happily married in nursing school, and I just graduated in May. Granted, we had our ups and downs (he's miltary, and I was getting my BSN), but it actually went well! Oh, and I'm only 22,...
