  1. Suzanne4, have a question.

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why must you get 50% right and 50% wrong? I had to take my NCLEX to renew my license because it was lapsed over 8 years. Of course it was different from the 2 day paper and pencil test. But I...

  2. Suzanne4, have a question.

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. One Slick Dude!

    ZZTopRN replied to nurseT's topic in Correctional

    That is so funny. Isn't it odd that so many try the same things, seizures, chest pain in body builders, etc? You are so right about CYA. In an environment where you have to take much with a grain...

  4. Panic Attack

    ZZTopRN replied to Purple1976's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was so nervous I didn't even think about the number of questions until after I took the test. I had my calculator on all the time and was getting so frustrated all I wanted to do was get out of...

  5. Mosby's CAT website

    ZZTopRN replied to Jen2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    She bought it for me as a gift. I went from 50% to 99% probability. It costs around $49.00 but you can practice as much you want in those 30 days and if you have any computer glitches with it, they...

  6. Panic Attack

    ZZTopRN replied to Purple1976's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All the posts are true. Everybody feels the same. The harder they are, the better (not for our psyche, that's for sure). I felt confident going in and in about 5 minutes I really started to panic....

  7. Psych Psych Psych

    ZZTopRN replied to Meerkat's topic in Nursing Career

    I have volunteered on a psych unit for over a year. Learned a lot about psych and MANAGEMENT. I would not disclose it in any way, shape or form to management. I went to a interview at a psych...

  9. Hey, any of you GI nurses know about cautery?

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    I started becoming anemic because of UGI bleeding, I guess from taking too much Motrin. Have had the transfusions, on Carafate and iron, and finallly my doc talked to me about cauterizing my stomach....

  10. Hey, any of you GI nurses know about cautery?

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Gastroenterology

    I am being treated by a gastroenterologist. Endoscopy originally showed hundreds of tiny teleangectasias. I am certainly not taking any NSAIDS. They are what caused the condition in the first...

  12. Hard of Hearing Nurses? Possible? How?

    ZZTopRN replied to CareerThree's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you so much. I will look them up. The different hearing aids seems to complicated and pricy. I really want to become more educated about

  14. Tom Cruises' take on Psychiatry

    ZZTopRN replied to Katydidit34's topic in Psychiatric

    When I saw him jumping up and down on couches on Oprah and another talk show host, I was startled. He did not appear to be a grown man. Not that I don't enjoy humor and playfulness, but jumping up...

  15. Medicare Won't Cover Some Anxiety Drugs

    ZZTopRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand that in CA Medicaid will no longer cover ANY drugs in 2006 and Medicare has a $3600 deductible? Tell me I'm wrong. What are these low income people going to

  17. Hard of Hearing Nurses? Possible? How?

    ZZTopRN replied to CareerThree's topic in Nursing Career

    I have just recently been fitted with a hearing aid for my right ear. Probably from childhood ear infection. I got a digital hearing aid and it can be adjusted as much as you like. They are very...

  18. Took NCLEX-RN this morning

    ZZTopRN replied to MrsStraty's topic in General Nursing

    I left my calculator on so don't know how many questions I got. Guess it doesn't matter. I passed. Mostly all priority questions. I was so panicked I can't remember anything on the test except the...

  19. One Slick Dude!

    ZZTopRN replied to nurseT's topic in Correctional

    He was one of those big "workout guys" that was always being brought up "unresponsive" on a stretcher. No medical history. About the 3rd time I had the officers take him into an examining room. I...

  20. Looking for refresher course

    ZZTopRN replied to diane2's topic in General Nursing

    See your state Board of Nursing for a list of approved courses. I live in CA and there are not a lot around. Fortunately there is one coming up in the fall that will be enrolling in. I was told by...

  21. re: something to consider...

    ZZTopRN replied to Granted Fal's topic in Psychiatric

    you make a lot of good points. In my year of volunteering in psych, I learned a lot, felt a lot of compassion for people, but I don't think I could have gone on with it day after day. After all, I...

  22. non revealing scrub top suggestions

    ZZTopRN replied to martymoose's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think that is so cool of you guys to be concerned about scrub tops and your professionalism instead of trying to look like a Barbie doll! I think that the sleeveless undershirts are cool. And I am...

  23. Anyone work in skilled care?

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What is the difference between skilled care and a nursing home? Is this a good place to start while awaiting your RN refresher?

  24. OLD RN of 58 needs career advice please!

    ZZTopRN replied to krisssy's topic in General Nursing
