  1. Questions about NET test

    luvmy2angels replied to tookewlandy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never took the NLN test, just the NET. I would recommend getting the NET study guide, it is VERY similar to how the actual exam is. It was to the point as far as what you needed to know so I didn't...

    luvmy2angels replied to onconurseRT's topic in General Nursing

  8. Rotavirus

    luvmy2angels replied to student4ever's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, adults can get rotavirus. Our Md said that most adults have already been exposed to the virus so if we do get sick we won't be as sick as the children. Children, on the other hand (especially...

    luvmy2angels replied to Kasm296's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Would you hire me?

    luvmy2angels replied to Janinern84's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with some of the other suggestions, don't state that you "deserve" the position, also take out your age and reference about having time to spend time with your son. Focus more on the skills...

    luvmy2angels replied to ddianneepooh's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  24. Messing with the lab tests.

    luvmy2angels replied to Akura's topic in General Nursing

    I must agree to NOT do it. After the tests are run they will fax the results to your MD not you. He will know that HE himself didn't order the test. OR they will cross-reference with a computer, call...
