Can anyone share with me how long it took/takes after graduationfor your nursing school to have the information submitted in order for you to take the NCLEX?Thank you,TF

Thank you both. I do realize that it depends on the school. Mine is in Ohio and I am aware of schools who's grads can test within a week or two while our grads have to wait an average of 2.5 months. Looking for comparisons before I start inquiring a...

Is a "Risk for..." ever used as a priority nursing diagnosis ? I remember being instructed that it is not, but cannot find anything to substantiate it. thank you.

EricJRN.. Thank you for your words. I have done a great deal of research and am finding courage here.

Hello All.. I have an interesting tale that I would appreciate some advice, feedback or experience regarding. I am a current RN student well into school. I am a good student, I do not miss class, have a good gpa..I am the one who follows the rules. I...

What is the sign of infection in a neutropenic patient ? Heat, redness, pus or difficulty swallowing. Thank you :)

Thank you Butterfly... You have brought tears to my eyes. :)

Diva .. could you please leave me be? This is important to me... And I wish you could just pass on anything to do with me here. Please.

Ummm same poster .... Different question. Is that not allowed?

Leslie.. Your wikipedia link and the other link posted by someone else. Both stress to look for heat or temp. change. I did not ask for vast amounts of your energy to be wasted on this. You answered your opinion, I appreciate it. Thank you.

Diva... Do I quit when you think I should? Many people in history have made changes when divas told them to quit before they broke a nail :) Thanks for your insight !

Leslie...telling someone they are mediocre for asking a question...calling them honey and telling them to get on with their life or get over it isn't all that nice especially when this thread simply asked a question. Even the page you provided said "...

Thank you sj :)

Why is research and asking "beating a dead horse" ? I have spent two days asking questions on this forum. Am I not permitted to look deeper ? Positive change is brought about by people not afraid to look deeper. As I nurse, I would do nothing differe...

Nurse Educate.. I appreciate your reply. It is actually people at your level that I was hoping to approach on the other thread. To bring up grades and calling me a mediocre student on this thread seemed " non-sweet" thus the comment. Though I wish I ...

Oh xtrn! Not directed at you at all! A previous poster named "wooh" commented on my poor academics and mediocre status as a student... I was just hoping they had run out of sweetener for their coffee... I am so very grateful for your posts :)

Wooh.. What is it about my post in asking a simple question would bring you to basically feel the need to examine me a person ? If you wish to private message me and tell me how poorly you feel of me, then please feel free. I promise you that I will ...

Mikey... I appreciate your answer. It is exactly what helps those who post here. Just researched your answer a bit and realized what you said..the one choice was difficulty swallowing.

Leslie and all, Thank you for your answer. The reason I was hoping for quick reply and no big time consumption on anyone's part was because I was looking for practical knowledge from working nurses. As you will see Leslie, in all written documentatio...

I don't want to bias any answers here, but all oncology nurses said heat/temperature. Professor says emphatically that it is difficulty swallowing.

Lol, you all are a tough crowd :)

Lol no.. Maybe I should have stated that I didn't want you to waste too much of your time answering not that I needed it in a hurry :) I was part of a grievance proceeding and used this question as an example. I asked 5 oncology nurses this where I w...

Evolve and llg... I thank you for your opinion and understand what you have said. Just making sure that you caught the "why" this has me thinking so hard in my original post. Back when the grievance was filed initially I received a letter from the nu...
