  1. How long for interim permit??

    It's been a horrible day. I just got off the phone with the BRN and they have no record of my transcripts. I applied for my interim permit and license by exam in late Dec/early Jan...my transcripts were mailed from HI on Jan 10 and they still have ...

  3. Do you use Biosensors from Vital Care Products?

  4. NICU San Francisco Bay Area

    I actually work at Packard...its a 40 bed nicu, with ecmo. I was in the Versant program 3 years ago, not sure how many openings would be coming up in the next group...feel free to pm me with any specific questions. Otherwise there may be opening in...
  5. Travel Position At Tripler

    Tripler has a small nicu, maybe like 16 beds. It's a nice unit, not very conducive to the needs of preemies especially. As far as the assignment, if you want to travel to Hawaii go for it! But although tripler is known as one of the "top" army hos...

  7. Share my happiness with you guys!

    They were also really nice to me, the lady said I would be "happy" once I get my mail so I'm not stressing out about it. It just would be nice to finally get my real license. It's a bummer that it takes so long...I guess that's why they issue IP's ...
  8. Share my happiness with you guys!

  9. NCLEX style question I'm confused about

    I agree with angioplasty....the morphine is not just given for pain it is given to decrease sympathetic stress and increase myocardial oxygenation...as for maslow, pain is considered a psychosocial need not physiological (atleast for nclex purposes)....

  11. lifting pt's while pregnant

    You should be very happy that people are watching out for you. When I was pregnant with my daughter I helped lift a patient to a standing position (with proper body mechanics mind you) and I nearly miscarried at 14 weeks. From then on I had times o...

  13. Recent NCLEX in CA...

    No there is nothing, isn't that horrible....the board said it could be 3-4 weeks until they process my fingerprints and post. I think it is a big joke that it takes that long especially when they were sent in early January and here we are in March.....
  14. Recent NCLEX in CA...

    I just called the board's number and if you press #2 ...2times...it will either be busy or it will put you on hold for a good 10minutes or more. If it's busy just keep calling back, once you are through you just have to be patient and wait. Most li...

  16. My mind is made up...2/24 is the day!!

    Well I just finished my last Kaplan question trainer test (265Q) and got 68%. I decided pre-test if it was over 65% I was going to keep my appt. Needless to say I am getting really nervous but I can't keep letting this test drive me crazy. I feel ...

  25. Retyping/writing notes

    rewriting always worked for me in school, i think you have to try it out until you find a way that works for you. some people could record a lecture and replay it over later and that worked for them. notecards and typing weren't my thing but everyo...
