Hello all, I just took a LTC job and with 33 pts after med count and report I would be left with 12.5 min per pt per 8 hour shift. There are three med passes condensed into two, paper MAR , have to pull the meds myself, insulins twice on shift, ass...

Thanks, tonight was my third night of training and guess what...I think I like it :) . I'm scared and know I have a lot to learn but am slightly optimistic. The front hall of this facility has two wings pt loads of 23 - 29 with higher acuity pts b...

Hello all, I accepted my first ...well second...position. The first I decided was too much responsibility and passed on. This position is LTC at a local facility that I like....I will have less than 25 pts...my concern is that I will only have one...

GrnTea I do believe you were rt....I went for my first of 4 days of training only to find out the nurse to pt ration is 1:33 or more....as a new grad I honestly don't see how I can safely do this....

Thank You for your comments...GrnTea.The first job I passed on was weekends only and since I would be the only RN on the premises 8 hrs of the 12 hour shifts I would be in charge of the facility in addition to 25 pts I decided that was too much. T...

Thank You all soooo much for your comments and support!!!

Me too my license was up this morning :)

I did pass so the PVT worked for me

sooooo woke up at 0530 hoping my results would be available....not yet will have to wait until 8 or 10......LOL

This was the thing that surprised me while I didn't always know the answer they didn't seem that hard.....It might just be that I was focusing on each individually and not taken the whole thing in....My concern was that they didn't seem hard enough.....

I took mine yesterday and I don't think there is anyone out there that got the good pop up and failed......just the bad pop up and passed......I'll find out in 12 hours.....try to distract yourself....and congrats I think we passed :)

I also took mine on the 25th at 8am.....had 75 questions also....got the good pop up too....can't wait until tommorrow

Hards279 I took mine there Tuesday this week....the proctor was very nice....you will be fine.....just relax and slow yourself down if need be and stretch in your chair once in a while....There was some noise from the floor up above so ask for the e...

Took my nclex yesterday morning......my school goes years without anyone failing....one failed last year....I scored a 929 on my first HESI....my test shut off at 75 questions...I also got the good pop-up.... Yet I'm scared....will get quick results ...

Congrats MexRn !!!

Thank You all......I've was fairly calm at first.... will get quick results early tomorrow....the closer it gets...:/ LOL.....Thanks again....I LOVE nurses they are the best!!!

I would call and call and call until I talked with someone.....they mess up sometimes....I got my ATT before someone ahead of me....she only got hers by calling them.....I'm from Michigan too

Hello All, I am a new graduate RN who was just offered a pt job at a LTC facility. Here are my concerns... my training will be 36 hours, I will have 25 pts, and since I will be working weekends myself and a young LPN will be on our own two-thirds of...

cienurse....I want to work for you :) Thanks for the input. This is what I decided. I will do my best and I think it will work out. If I'm very uncomfortable I will ask for more guidance and training....I will update later and let you all know h...

Hello all, I was just offered a pt LTC RN position. I just graduated from nursing school. My training will be 36 hours and then I will work weekends. Two-thirds of the time I am working there will be no supervisor present just myself and a young ...

Hello All, I will graduate from nursing school (ADN) in three weeks....YAY!!! I am a mature individual who went back to school late in life. My strengths would lend themselves best to a case manager's position so I need to figure out how to get the...

Hello All, I am finishing up my ADN with 9 weeks to go. I'm in my mid fifties. In my current rotation we care for as many as 5 patients on a cardiac tele unit. I am overwhelmed to say the least. I have to make it through 5 more of these shifts and...

Thanks again for the tips, support, and the confidence you all have in me. I'm on spring break right now so I'm using some of the time to view skill videos and memorize more drugs. I think on the one hand I'm glad my school does all they can to pre...

Thank You for your comments....I will read and reread them as I finish up this rotation. The nurses on this floor never have more than 5 pts so this is a full pt load.....before you can work in this hospital you are required to go through an orienta...

I'm a nursing student who enjoys the classroom but finds the clinicals to be overwhelming.....we are just beginning our second year in the adrn program and are down to 42 of the 96 students who began. Our school is tough and very few graduate in the...
