Hi All! I currently work on a busy step-down tele floor. We see a lot of post cath, sepsis, pneumonia, copd patients. I have been looking to transfer departments for a few months now, but have held off because I really really love all of the people...

I wear the calf sleeves on a daily basis (and so do a few other nurses on my unit), I like them better than the full socks I was wearing before. Mine don't slip at all, but like was mentioned before, it could be a size issue. They definitely make ...

Our RN's are color coded by department. Tele units wear Caribbean Blue tops and bottoms, with the option of white tops/bottoms/jackets. Med/Surg is all white, ER, ICU and our CDU wear Navy. Our CNA's are black tops, khaki bottoms. LPN's wear the ...

Scaredsilly it feels AMAZING! I still don't beleive it!

SO...I take my NCLEX tomorrow. I have been religiously doing Kaplan since I graduated on 7/11 and the LaCharity PDA book for the past 2 weeks. I feel like I should be doing something to prepare for the test tomorrow, but I have read so many commen...

Just wanted to update and say I PASSED! pearson still has my results unavailable but I have an active license on the Ohio website. Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement!!

Took my nclex today. I know there is no way to analyze any of this but I just need to get it out of my system lol! I was super shocked when it shut off at 75. I feel like my last question was easy.. it was a sata and I had a lot of them. I just...

I dont know how to feel either! I just feel like if the last question seemed so easy then I had to be below the bar..... Good to know it might be earlier than 48 hrs.

Thank-you so much for the advice! I am trying to relax and do some crafts to calm down...........I know I will not learn anything new at this point and really "I know what I know and it is what it is!!"

THANK-YOU so much for this post. I take my nclex tomorrow and needed this to calm me down just a little bit. 85% passed on first try makes me feel a little better and the SATA not being high level/passing helps too! My school prepared us from day ...

I am currently using Kaplan to prepare also. It was part of our last semester for school, so we were required to use it. I watched the videos and followed along in the book also. In most of the videos, there is a slide that shows "Need to Know" in...

I am a new grad and have a job waiting for me for when I pass the nclex. It's on the floor I precepted in during my last semester and my interview pretty much went the same! They hired 6 from my class, just for our floor and I know of 5 others that ...

We do not hide our tattoos during interviews because WE see them as unprofessional, but because the people interviewing us see them that way and judge us accordingly. Just because I have a half sleeve on one arm, a wrist tattoo on the other, two fi...

I am curious about the answer too, I just started taking phetermine 3 days ago and had 2 interviews (hoping an offer follows!). I have searched extensively on the internet and some sites say it shows up as false positive for amphetamines and others ...

Congrats on the job! I am a new grad and I just finished my second interview on the tele floor that I precepted on during my last semester. I absolutely LOVED my precepting experience on this floor and I really want to get hired! It is a VERY fast ...

Thanks! Good luck to you too!! I'm a nervous wreck without having the ATT, so I can only imagine what I will feel like when I actually schedule! Have you received the LaCharity book? Do you feel like it will help?

I am so glad I found this post! We graduated on 7/11 and our school mailed our info to the BON on that day. I have been a nervous wreck waiting for any kind of info from the board. Glad to know that they are behind and it is nothing on my part! I...

My scores are all over the place on the QT's and Qbank tests! I have averaged between 55-64% on all of them, but the diagnostic was 73%. Did you have a Kaplan review course at school? Our school had us scheduled to do all the QT tests except 7 and...

I don't know if this will help but our instructor told us to think about where you are in the body - are you in the cells, intravascular space? Then think about what you need to do - get fluid into our out of the cells or into or out of the intravasc...

Dentures - I hate dentures!! When I was a CNA I would dread having to remove and clean them. I don't know what it is about them but the really gross me out - I'll take puke and poop any day over fake teeth!!

Ours are all white too. White pants, white fitted tunic type button up top that has pinstripes down each side of the shirt (also white) and a white scrub coat with the school name embroidered on it. I bought white danskos to go with it. I'm going ...

I am in the same boat!! This is my third attempt at trying to get into nursing school (life always seemed to get in the way!!) I just got my physical and blood titers today and ordered my stethoscope and cuff earlier in the week. I am sooooo excite...

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I start on Aug. 20 and I am in the process of getting all of small things out of the way (physical, drug test, background check) and getting my supplies and uniforms ordered. I can't wait!!!
