I have to say, I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm looking today online for any tips about telemetry because I am a New Grad, on my floor for 21/2 months and my Nurse Manager told me today that I'm not progressing as fast as I should. I was about to cry, I find the floor very difficult, it's such a fast turn over, and I'm barely keeping up with 3 patients. I'm so glad there are others that find it difficult, I've felt like a failure because the other new grads seem to be picking it up faster than I am. Thank you!!!

Hi, I can't seem to email you back! About your interest in Hurst, I liked the program and recommend it! Do a google of "NCLEX HURST NURSING VIDEO REVIEW" and look through the first page. Hope that helps ;-)

Hi everyone! I'm studying for my NCLEX, and have some questions about areas I just can't seem to master. #1 The degree of elevation with the head of bed. I want to be sure of positioning. If you have a pt who has a drop in BP, you go to Trandelenburg? Huge spike in BP? What happens to the BP, CO, etc when you lie the Pt flat vs. Semi Fowlers vs. High Fowlers? Thanks!

You can do it!! I did a one-year program and survived by the skin of my teeth! The advice I have is: 1) Make a study group, befriend people in your program - they'll be your biggest asset. 2) If you have too much work around a test, break up the study guide into sections among your group and have people cite the page they found the info on, so if you don't understand it, you can read more about it. 3) Don't kill yourself with textbook reading! Pay Very Very good attention in class, take great notes, and use the texts if you don't understand something fully. You can also tape the lectures and take notes later - that way you can just sit and listen (sometimes active listening helps you remember more than scribbling as much as you can get down does) 4) One thing I wish I did looking back is to watch the Hurst lectures before each subjects class lecture. They are extremely simplified and may help with understanding. And hint - if you're computer savvy, they can be found online. You can do this, think positive thoughts! Good luck!!!
