Hi All! I've posted about this before, but no luck in responses, so thought I'd try again. I just accepted a position at Hopkins. I'm a very young, single, new graduate who will be relocating... I literally know NO one in the area. I'm hoping to find...

YES YES YES. Yes. Make a table of contents for the front. Catch my theme :-D I also added a nice inservice I did for my practicum unit and a lengthy concept map.

I could see rationale behind avoiding bipap... I'm thinking of terms of a pressure gradient... The force and pressure from bipap is more diffuse rather than the narrow area of an ET tube. The forced air of bipap could sneak down the esophagus compare...

I'm a recent BSN grad starting in the Neuroscience ICU. Excited to start my dream career, glad I found this thread!

You can pass or fail at any number of questions between 75- 265. Don't think too much into it!

Hi bcandygurl, I actually signed on a place in Federal Hill today! Thanks all for the advice! ?

I finished my test at 11am and checked around 2pm! My friend took me out to lunch for a margarita LOL

Hope yall did great today! Got my official results today, I'm a RN!

You passed!! I got my official results today! Congrats fellow RN!!!

Congrats! When I shadowed/interviewed, I sent a follow up email that same afternoon. She got back to me the next day!

Don't freak out, that is truly my most valuable piece of advice! I know it is easy to say, especially when you're on the other side, but I felt the questions required a clear mind and a step by step thinking process; it is not simply an abnormal lab ...

Well, took it today! It was nothing like I expected. Cut off at 75 questions & I got the good pop up so I'm PRAYING that means I passed!!!

Well, took mine at 8am today, cut off at 75, and just did the pop up trick... got the good one! Praying I will find out good results tomorrow! I took about 3 hours just because I was being SUPER careful on each one lol. I'm hoping this torture is OVE...

I'm also taking it tomorrow! AH! But we have got this, we know more than we credit ourselves, and we will be RNs by the end if the day :)

Congrats Katielady!!! Thank you sooo much for describing your experience, it makes me feel a lot better you think Kaplan is somewhat harder than the NCLEX! I'm so envious of you, I test Monday eeeeeek

1. $28.80 (salaried. Includes diff) 2. JHH 3. ICU 4. New graduate BSN

Good luck @katielady!!! Take your time, you're ready for this! Let us know how it is!

BSN if it is feasible for you. It may be tough now, but you will be much more competitive during your job search. Many hospitals require a BSN, or for magnet accreditation, gear the majority of their nursing staff to BSN requirements. It'll end up co...

Thank you guys SO much! Beyond helpful. Can't wait to make the move :-)

I'm almost positive you won't be able to test that soon, take the trip! It took almost 2 weeks to get my ATT.

What's everyone doing today for their study plan?! I'm reviewing some content and doing Kaplan Trainer 4. Happy studying and New Year :-D

Pretty sure the poster means their Kaplan score!

Today marks my first (legit) day of studying LOL. I'll be in my library from 10-7 Monday-Saturday. I've been doing Kaplan q bank since August (our school required it) and have completed trainer 1-3. Plan on taking 4 today, as well as using the Kaplan...

ICU!! Sounds like you'd get a very helpful & friendly environment and the experience you'd need to transition to a different ICU at any other hospital down the road.

It is helpful!!
