I work the skilled hall and some of us regulars were called to the office because no one wants to pick up on our hall. Apparently, we leave a ton of orders and I'm the "Queen." Now I've learned the hard way to NEVER leave an order. If for whateve...

I know who and what day. It was the day the MD kept interrupting report. But there is more to it. It's the supervisor's assignment and somehow the full time pay rate for it got out. There hadn't been any complaints until they didn't have an RN to ...

I always wear a suit but I'm curious to know what it is that your carry in the briefcase? My school made us put together a portfolio but I haven't taken it on any interviews. Now that you've mentioned it, I guess it would look better pulling my res...

You will be taking a math test at the BEGINNING of each semester that you have a nursing class and if you don't pass it with 90%, you fail the class. 254 people took the teas exam the semester I was admitted and my school accepted the top 40. If you...

I had to cut my relationship loose about a year into nursing school. I remember studying one weekend and he came in wanting me to drop my books and take our daughter to the emergency for a MOSQUITO BITE. Yeah, you heard that right.........a mosquit...

I'm in Ohio and the job market is pretty good in my area.....especially for those who have a BSN. I was scheduled for my first interview less than 10 days after getting my license. I think she'll be just fine whether she takes time off or not.

Just remember that clean and dirty patient's don't mix.

It worked for me. I took the test on the 28th and got the good pop up 30 minutes later. My number was posted today.

My kaplan scores were QT 1--64% QT 2--64%. QT 3--60% QT 4--57.3% QT 5--61.3% QT 6--66.5 Diagnostic --59.4% Readiness --66.7% I took my test today and ended up with 75Qs and the good pop up.

I know of someone with type 1 who does not respond to oral glucose

I score a 98% chance of passing on ATI but now I'm preparing for my Kaplan review class and those test are killing me. Diagnostic--59.7 % Qt1--64% Qt2-64% Qt3-60% I was feeling pretty confident following the ATI but After Kaplan.....not so much

CONGRATS!!! My pinning ceremony is on the 9th as well

I stayed up to 2-3am a time or two and I've shed of tear.

Don't worry too much about it sticking just yet. All you're nursing classes will reiterate the info. Nursing school is all A& P all the time.....eventually it starts to stick.

In that case, I'm sorry but your class doesn't have a leg to stand on. She wanted details to be sure you knew EXACTLY what it was that you were talking about and you didn't give them. Re-take the class and be more specific in your answers. Anyone ...

Were your exams essay type questions or multiple choice? In my anatomy course, we had a comprehensive take home exam that we were allowed to work together on but you had to answer the questions in your own words. None of the students who worked tog...

Is it possible to pull a med without checking a chart? I mean how would you know which med/dose to pull if you dont look in the chart? I'm confused.

I'm not a nurse yet but I thought that was too funny. I have a kid under ten and I know how they are about bandages they dont need. I better go stock up on some band aids now...lol

I took them together and my instructors kind of lined them up so that in each class, we would be going over the same topics at the same time.

What kinds of assignments do you have in clinical other than care plans? Everybody's care plan shouldnt be the same.

When I was at a clinical site in greater cleveland, I met a new grad who had gotten a job before taking NCLEX. She was dressed as a PCA but her name tag said student nurse and she was working beside an RN in the ER. I've also seen a few job posting...

The first 100 pages of EVERY chapter of EVERY nursing textbook goes over AP..... and that's before you get to the 'nursing' portion of each chapter. You'll be assigned 4 to 6 chapters to read every class session and tested once a week. So dont worry...

I study for all exams with the ATI book. Although my instructors dont pull their lectures from the ATI, I can hear them lecturing in my ear when I read it......like word for word. I use the ATI online tutorials and practice exams. So far, I've got...

It means that they were cited for something and given a chance to correct it. Tri-c didnt make those corrections in a timely manner so they lost accreditation. Once they filed an appeal, their 'accreditation with conditions' status was reinstated p...

You can go to the NLNAC's website and check the status of any school they accredit. Tri-c still has accreditation until the appeal is decided. There are several other schools in the state that are in trouble as well.
