I agree about seeing if there is actually a POLICY that REQUIRES you to wear make up. I have never heard of such a thing and personally find it to be ridiculous!! I wore make up in school and still...
As far as I know there is no time limit in which you MUST take the NCLEX. Once you pay and send in all the required paperwork you will get your ATT and then you will have 3 months from the time you...

We work every other weekend and although I am new they say that call offs aren't a big problem on the weekends simply because we have to make them up if we miss one, and also because we get paid an...
THis may sound corny, but something you can start doing right now is to pay attention to your tv. When the advertisments come on for medications listen to them carefully....listen to the side effects...

I work LTC and am a new grad, we are being oriented for 2 months. We were hired for a new building that is opening up and so we are fortunate enough to have a couple months to train. We were told that...
Well, last night we had 2 med passes, helped feed supper to the residents, charting, skin assessments, more charting, 4 straight caths, more charting, blood sugars and report, oh, and more charting!!...
Our school used the ATI and I loved them. In fact I felt that they did more to help me prepare for the NCLEX than any other prep guide. I used Saunders book and CD some, but i felt that the ATI helped...

We started with 29 (evening program) and graduated with 19. One student transfered from daytime one joined us in the 2nd level. We were told to expect to lose half of our classmate by the end of level...
I only had one math question that was calculating I&O, priority questions are a good sign, I shut off at 85 also and passed. Sounds positive to me. Let us
Don't be too sure!! I walked out of there feeling dumber than a rock! I felt like I guessed at all the questions and was sure I failed!! I got the min. number of questions for the PN NCLEX which is...
I was also told not to call, in fact you should get a brochure when you go to test that explains why they don't want anyone to call. I took my test on a Tuesday and the results were posted THursday....
I didn't take a review course and started studying 2 weeks before I took the test and passed the first time. I agree, from what I have heard the review courses are mostly strategy based and if you...
I think it depends on when you send it in, I got mine in about 4 days, but it was in Feb when there weren't a lot of grads sending in forms. We were told by our instructor that spring is a rough time...
I certainly didn't go nuts with studying. I took my test about 3 months after we graduated and didn't get really serious about studying until 2 weeks before. I used the Saunders CD some but it wasn't...
If your state participated in the quick results then you should be able to pay Pearson and find out now. SOmeone had posted that pearson does post your pass/fail status on sundays. You you have to pay...

It not only depends on what part of the country you live in, but where you work also. I live in southeastern PA and LPNs in hospitals start out around $12/hr, LTC start anywhere from $16-24/hr and...
Not sure if I am allowed to ask this question, I am not asking for medical advice, rather any personal experiences anyone has ever had with taking Celexa. Both bad and good experiences as well as...

Thanks for all your input!! I am really hoping this is "the one" that helps me. Depression sucks!!! Not only for me but for my husband and my young kids, they deserve to have thier mommy back, and...

I have been in that situation and the things I saw were definately abusive, to the staff as well as the residents. I am not talking about a little slip here and there as I'm sure everyone has done...
I had originally posted in the general nursing forum and got some great responses to our problem. For any of you who had read my posts I am glad to say we finally were able to get hospice in for my...
