Hi, This might be a dumb question but I would like to ask about CPR. So, here's the scenario. Patient becomes unconscious and unresponsive. Pt has heart beat 40bpm and breathing is very shallow. Would you start the compression? What I am trying to ask is would you start compression if pt becomes unconscious? Pulse is very faint and hard to feel. Thank you in advance

It took you a few weeks? That's good to know. Hopefully my application goes through quickly. Exactly how long did it take for you to get the authorization to take NCLEX??

Thank you so much for the info! That really helps:) Thanks.

Hello, I have a few questions about NCLEX application process. I am so confused and not sure what I am supposed to do. I don't have anybody to ask this type of questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I am currently living in San Diego, CA. I just graduated last week from nursing school. I applied for NCLEX examination back in October and still is waiting for them to give me an "ok" to take the exam. Last week, I've got a job offer from Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee. The new grad program starts in Feb. 2014. I need to have my RN license by the program start date. Back in October, I wasn't sure whether I would get a job at VUMC, so I just submitted California Application for NCLEX and did Live Scan Fingerprint. This is where I am confused about. Initially I was going to take the NCLEX for California, but now that I know where I am going to work, I want to take the NCLEX for Tennessee. I don't want to go through endorsement, because that will take time and cost money. My question is 'do I have to take the NCLEX in California if I submitted NCLEX application to CA Board of Registered Nursing? If I want to get RN licensure for TN, do I need to submit another application to TN board of registered nursing? Any suggestions/recommendations would be helpful. Thank you in advance:)
