....will have to be turned in prior to graduation. I didn't think of it as a big deal when they first said it at the beginning of the program. I figured I could start right away, but I would like to get most of them right, so I take them after eac...

Does ANYONE have any questions they would like to email me to add to the few thousand I have collected so far? I have until May, and I have been doing questions...but now they say we need a 75 or higher (so I have to throw away some because I have a ...

We had a pretest the other day for calculations, and if we made 90%, we would not have to take the actual test. Well, I did not receive my email so I know I didn't pass. I kinda figured I wouldn't because I wasn't sure what to do when rounding. We ...

Yes....that's mostly what is on our exams now. Do you have a suggestions on a good one? So far, I have only seen two...Pharmacology Reviews and Rationales, and one called Drug Calculations. And thanks for the help.

Yes...and I do know how to round....but I wasn't sure if I would round up when giving the medication to a child....and still don't know to be honest. I have not found it in any book...I was just following what our Pharm instructor taught us.

I completely understand what you are saying, and maybe if I wasn't rushing, I wouldn't have sounded as if I sit back and wait. I have always been one to ask questions and get resources from instructors that will help me in what I am trying to accomp...

Thanks...I've added that to my favorites.

I have about 8500 to go...in 9 months. I have asked a few classmates to consider putting ours together so we can share, or duplicate....but no one agrees (even though they haven't even made it halfway). So....if any of you do online practice questi...

May 2006...I can't wait, and almost can't believe it. When I first started school in 2002, I knew I was motivated, but I didn't feel smart enough to make it. At times I still don't...but I keep telling myself..."What is two semesters? I have breeze...

I have also been working as a CNA for about 5 years in LTC. I just recently started a new job as a tech in a hospital, and it is a full-time position. Once school starts back, they really don't want to cut me back to part time, so I am going to do ...

Yes, it helped. I have a better idea of what it will be like...Thanks.

I hate to be the only one who doesn't know what it is....so can someone explain what it is? What do you do? How long it lasts? I do know it is the final semester of nursing school....after finals? Are preceptorships done while you are still takin...

I am happy to hear that it is such a great experience. I was also interested in doing an externship, but the hospital where I aplied only offered the program from June through August, so I applied for a PCT (patient care tech) position. I just star...

....but here in DC LTC ranges from $9.00-$12.00 depending on the facility. I have a few coworkers who have, or still do work in certain parts of MD, and they have said they made between $8.00-$14.00, with hospitals paying the highest. HTH

I would like to do everything that was mentioned before I even got to post this: But....since I have been taking every single dollar I had (have) while attending school to pay rent/bills/necessities, when I get the first big check, I am not paying on...

I also have worked as a CNA...have been one for the past five years. I have worked in nursing homes, but will be starting my first position in a hospital in about 3 weeks. I just finished my first year in nursing school, and I did take my time whi...

I finally (after years of trying) am about to begin working as a PCT in a local hospital. I have been a CNA for about 5 years now, and most of my work has been done in nursing homes. I did work in a hospital when I was with this agency, but I had v...

Oh that definitely helps....I went straight to the websites, and forgot to come back and say thanks (sorry). Thanks for the questions too....I cut and pasted them for an email (that I have my 10000 Q's folder when I get ready to print it all out). ...

I never thought of asking classmates to combine, but I sure plan to throw in the idea the next time we meet. Also, I always make it my business to practice NCLEX questions when I am studying for an exam (that is what is helping me the most). I just ...

For this past semester, I only worked (for pay) every other weekend, 16 hrs a pay period, but I also got a loan. However, I worked at home full-time as a mother of 4, and barely got breaks until bedtime. Next semester, I intend to work every weekend ...

Thats exactly what they said. If we do so many questions, we will likely run across a few that are familiar. I started the CD's during the first semester, and was getting so many wrong, I left it alone for awhile until I actually started learning ...

Yea, that is how I got to the 500 I have so far, from websites....and yes, it is a 2 year program, which leaves me one year to do the remaining 9500. Oh, and I was told they have to be printed out, not straight out of the book. The website that acco...

I am so happy to see this thread. I also will be entering Med-Surg in August, and I am not at all prepared. I hate to say, but I got A's in A&P Lec and Lab, and only because I had all take home tests and the final. I never went back over the m...

I also am a CNA, and have been for the past 5 years. When I took my CNA course, which was 6 months, we were constantly told to introduce ourselves this way to a patient: "Hello, my name is _____, and I am your nurse today". When I took my certific...

Hi all, I have done an almost terrible job in my OB Thery this semester, but still have a chance of passing. Our instructor gives us the chapters to read, with no hint of what to study the most. I have made borderline grades, and can get nothing le...
