I believe that I sent it in around the 10th of October. I received an email on 10/15 stating that the acceptance packet was complete.

I received a letter in the mail Friday with directions to set up/activate my Jag mail account but that's it. I'm still waiting on the curriculum schedule.

Does anyone know how long it takes ANCC to review your application and send the authorization to test after submitting it online? Also, does anyone have any current advice about the certification test itself? I see that they will be changing it up af...

At the facility I work at, we can administer PRN IM medication if the patient refuses PO against their will if they are a danger to themselves or a danger to others. If this results in the patient being held for the IM, it is considered a medication ...

Hi all. To give a little background I am a relatively new RN working the 11-7 shift at an inpatient psych unit. One of our jobs in the morning is to obtain any labs that the doctor has ordered. As I was reviewing orders, I saw an order to obtain a bl...

I searched around on the forums but couldn't find anything that answered my question specifically. To give a little background I am a new nurse that has been working at an inpatient psychiatric facility for the past 8 months. I started out on 3rd shi...

Our job at my state run facility as it was explained to me is to get patients in, get them stabilized on meds with as normal function as possible, and get them back out into society. I read a study that stated up to 80% of schizophrenic patients are ...

Agree with the above poster about The Total Money Makeover. Best money management book I have ever read. The best advice I can give you is to start doing a written monthly budget and stick to it! That way you know where your money is going each and e...

The only time I could think of running away is if: A. You are the only staff member on the floor at the time B. clearly out of view of everyone else and C. your life is in immediate danger. Granted this doesn't happen too often, but it does happen. I...

Great advice from Meriwhen! If I could add something, I would say be sure you know what to do if a psych patient is getting out of control. Answer is to try to de-escalate the situation as smoothly and quickly as possible. The person with the best ra...

I also work at a state hospital. Sadly, we nurses don't get paid as well in the South as compared to other parts of the country I hear. I made about $52000 a year starting out. From talking to others from the same area, its relatively the same amount...

Congratulations!

If you took the Hurst review, and you know the material well, I am very confident that you will do just fine. There have been about 10 people in my class to take the NCLEX so far and the 9 that took Hurst all passed at 75. The other one took Kaplan a...

I took my NCLEX Monday and it stopped at 75. I felt very confident leaving the testing center and went straight home and tried the PVT. I got the good pop up. So yesterday I found out that I passed officially. I only took 5 out of 6 of the Hurst QRev...

I agree 100%. I have always heard the NCLEX was no joke and from reading on here it made me very very nauseated to even think about taking it. I went to take it Monday and by the time I got to about question 30, I knew it was going to cut off at 75 a...

Good luck to us! Im extremely nervous and still have 4 days.

From what Ive read on here that is an awesome score. Ive only taken two qreviews and the first one i scored a 91/125 and the second 100/125. I take the NCLEX Monday so hopefully I'll be able to tell you something then.

Hey congrats on passing the NCLEX. That's awesome. I am taking my NCLEX next month sometime hopefully(still haven't received my ATT) and would love to have some of your study material. My email is [email protected].

I am currently taking the online Hurst review and I love it. It makes everything so simple. You can do a search on here for Hurst review and it has pretty positive reviews overall, which is a big reason I am using it now. I can't speak on the other r...

Thank you very much for your replies. Super helpful.

I tried doing a search but couldn't come up with anything that answers my question. I read that a major complication after a burn injury is hyperkalemia. Does anyone know the pathophysiology behind this? I understand that there is increased capillary...

Better luck next time. Keep the faith because through Christ all things are possible.
