Got it! Thanks you guys... I sort of need it before March.... Soo hopefully i can finish everything soon...

Thanks! I think i'll go with toefl :) what reviewer did you use? Any recommendations?

I graduated in the Phililippines and i do have a license here in California... My work requires me to have to nevada license as well... But nevada is requiring me to have toefl or english pearson test... So im wondering which one is easier ? Because i need to get it really soon... Please advise... Thanks!

Im ok... I can speak it... We have english classes back in the Philippines... But i heard that it's hard because you can only have at least 2 or 3 mistakes...

I just got a job as a nurse reviewer but now they want me to get license in nevada... The only problem is that i graduated in the philippines and they require a toefl or pearson test of english exam which i dont have.. I really need it soon.. Im wondering do i still need to study for it? Is that exam something serious? Is it a hard exam that i really need to study? PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO FIRST...

I just got hired as a nurse reviewer in an insurance company.. And that position can be filled by new graduates... Great pay and benefits!

Oh ok i will all check the sites that you guys recommended thank you

I have to renew my license this year and i am wondering what's the best site to get my ceu hours... Is there a video that i can watch instead of reading an article? Thanks

I am in the same situation... I graduated 2009 in the philippines got my license in 2011 i got stuck doing office works in home health and hospice office... I honestly like working in office than bedside...so maybe you can try working in an office too where your knowledge can be a Big help for you....

Adolescent growth inc offers 12/hr as an lvn but im an rn so they told me they will adjust the payscale but i believe it will still be low. I searched about the company and i saw a lot of bad reviews coming from staffs that they are overworked and under paid. Not only that but there is no quality of care in that facility. I dont know whether to pursue the job out of desperation or just let it pass... I dont know what to do

I have been researching the company and saw a lot of negative comments ... They offer 12/hr for lvn... And since im an RN they told me they will adjust the payscale but i guess it will still be low. Should i be concern of the negative comments? Like staffs are over worked and under paid? Patients are not well taken care of.. Medication cabinets doesnt have locks... And a lot more. I need a job i don't have experience should i take the job amidst all of the negative reviews?

I feel terrified as well! I will be starting my orientation tomorrow with paper works and i will be working in a snf... I was told that orientation will only be a couple of days like 3 days i think... I feel so dumb and don't know what to do.... I thought im the only one who's experiencing this but i'm glad that im not alone so i guess what we are experiencing is normal... Share to us how it goes when you're flying solo for the first time :) good luck and God bless

I have no experience at all... I'll be having my orientation with paper works tomorrow... They didn't tell me how long the orientation is... They just told me that i have to learn fast ... According to some people orientation will at least be 3 days

I have not been working as an RN for 4 years due to having a hard time looking for a job. i worked in a home health office that's about it. I'am afraid that i might not able to catch up with how they do work... Any advice for me to review or ask during the orientation? I am really scared to take the job but i just went for it for me to have experience.... Thanks

Thanks guys! :)

Well probably the cuff is small and it was hard putting it in her arms .... And she wasn't able to drink her bp meds

My patient is obese and in her 80's.The patient was lying in bed when i took the patient's bp she wasn't feeling dizzy or any sign and symptoms of someone who's having a high bp... I inflated the cuff to 180 and heard the thumping sound right away... I think im doing something wrong since it's not her usual bp... This happened to me before and when someone took the bp it was in the normal range... Should i take the loudest thump and make it her systolic bp? HELP!!!

This truly helped me! Thanks :)

Oooh what's the usual nursing intervention for pain?

It's my first week of work and they want me to be the on call nurse... What do i need to expect? What's the usual reason of patient's call and how to answer a call? What do i need to review?

Yes i'll be going to the patient's home...
