Hi, I'd like to ask some advise from you. I'm a graduate registered nurse but unfortunately I failed my first attempt in passing the NCLEX-RN I have been working at a hospital near my house as a graduate nurse and actually this week is my last week ...

In my preparation for my second attempt to pass the NCLEX-RN, I'd like to ask any of you if you know of a site or maybe you have created one on commonly asked lab values on the exam. Signs and symptoms, as well as reasoning behind the lab value, and ...

Hello, I'm Just Wondering What Is The Justified Nurse-patient Ratio In A Med-surg/tele Unit In California. I Just Started My Very First Nursing Job Yesterdat And The Patient-nurse Ratio In The Hospital I'm Working At Is 8:1 (with An Lpn Doing All The...

Hello, I just started my first nursing job today in Telemetry/Med-surg unit. I'm a new grad and never had any experience working in a hospital except from my nursing school (in which we did not really have a lot of clinical exposure). My preceptor wa...

Hello, I'd like to know if any of you has done a comprehensive teaching/care plan on a cardiac patient. To complete our Cardiac Nursing course requirements this semester, we are required to write a 10-page teaching care plan on any one of our cardia...

Hello! I'm Graduating This Week! Yeepee! We Just Took HESI Today (offered By Our Nursing School) And I Did Not Meet The Passing Grade Of 850...i Did Not Study For It As We Were Told Not To Stress About It Because It Will Not Stop Us From Graduating, ...

I am so depressed again after taking the dreadful exam the second time around. Question # 1 already got me, I had no clue what to answer and I spent about 3 minutes figuring it out and I guessed I still ended picking the wrong answer. My exam stopped...

actually, some of the questions I did not have any trouble picking the right answer ( I even picked an answer just by reading the scenario...and then the answer I had in mine was in one of the choices..so I picked it)...I just found it a bit harder w...

Suzanne has given me her study guide to prepare for the NCLEX-RN (thanks :) )...But I'm having a hard time sticking to the plan...I need to be motivated and pushed. I just can't seem to get my head back to studying. No books or strategies could ever ...

all of us are included in my daily prayers. I know God will hear our prayers. God knows we are going to be great nurses so we have to trust in Him and he will guide us to the right path...Good luck to all of us!

When I was in nursing school (ADN program) we were eligible to sit in "only" for the LPN licensure exam after our third semester in the "actual" nursing program ( prereqs not included). As far as I know you can only sit in for the NCLEX-RN once you h...

I know exactly what you're going through right now. I graduated in May and took the NCLEX-RN in July but failed. I took a review class that was offered in our college but felt like it didn't help and prepare me for it. Now I'm gonna try again and pl...

Hello, I'd like to know if any of you can help me understand more about taking phone calls and prioriting home health visits. On my first NCLEX-RN attempt, I had a lot of questions about it. Like if you are an RN and you received a phone call...who w...

Tiffany, Wow! I really appreciate you explaining these things to me. You are right, I too like the others tend to look into things too much that it confuses me more. You're also right for saying that ABC's not always the best choice, I have to really...

I understood you examples. I was actually thinking the same way...ABC's always comes first when it comes to prioritizing. Whenever one of the choices involved ABC's, I immediately picked it as the best answer but sometimes I get caught up when there'...

here in CA, you have to wait 91 days to retake (at least that's what BON said on the letter they sent me when I failed the first one)...I took it in July so I am up to retake it this coming October....

ok...let me see if I understood it right...In a situation where there is no or not enough staff and you are not in a hospital you would assess and tag the patients first...the one with difficulty breathing would be tagged as red, then the one with th...

So, what was the answer you found? I'd like to know too since I'm taking my NCLEX-RN as well. Suzanne sent me an article about it but I don't think I read anywhere in the article once the patient is in the hospital. External/Internal disasters (like ...

Brandi-BEST OF LUCK to both of us. Hoepfully our strategies will work wonders for us this time. Keep us updated on how your studying is doing, I'l do the same as well...

Brandi, I'm with you on this one! I have failed the first one and I told myself that I will make it the second time. I have been studying (utilizing Suzanne's plan together with my own plan).. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks now, I must say ...

Hi, I too was offered a nurse tech position after I failed my fisrt exam in July. Prior to that I was hired as a GN with a temporary permit issued by my state, but state law stated that if I fail the exam my permit will no longer be valid and that I ...

CONGRATULATIONS, MISS RN!!!!! Now, maybe you can share with us how you studied for it

Seems like many of you got questions on the NCLEX-RN about creating an empty bed to give way to a patient being admitted. What are the criteria in deciding which patient is to discharge or to transfer in order to create an empty bed? If I could still...

Suzanne, I have a question about doing practice questions on the Saunders CD...After taking the exam and reading the rational behind the answers, is it advisable to retake the same exam? I mean, once you've taken it and got the correct answers, isn't...

I actually agree with most of the people who responded to you. I graduated in May and mind you I graduated as a cumlaude but I tell you when I took the NCLEX the first time...I FAILED! and broke my heart big time!!! I'm still recovering from it. Soon...
