    Nursing and Second Job

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to NewGradMiller's topic in First Year After Licensure

    HOLY COW! That's one heck of a loan payment... Can I ask if these are student loans through the Dept of Ed or from a private bank/entity? I've received tons of "student loan" applications from...

    Took me 4 times, it should not have!

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to Grmmy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OR Nurse or Surgical Tech

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to healthlady's topic in Operating Room

    I did not transition from CST to Nurse in my journey to the OR. I only went to nursing school, so I can't provide the insight you seem to be looking for. I will say that nursing school, at least in...

    Do I need a BSN to get an OR position

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    I would think that the nursing curriculum for the ADN would be almost the same as the BSN, with the possible exceptions of Nursing Research and Community health classes... that said, unless the ADN...

    Do I need a BSN to get an OR position

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    Even though you have a previous Bachelor's degree, you most likely still spend 15 to 24 months to obtain a nursing degree... If it's the same amount of time to obtain an ADN as it is for the BSN, I...

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to NurseRNFinally's topic in Operating Room

    Perioperative Internships in Michigan or Colorado

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to Jane1117's topic in Operating Room

    I am also a new grad who secured a position in the OR. They are putting me through Peri-Op 101, and I'm learning a ton. I would think that most hospitals will do the same. I was told by my manager...

    Vial Openers?

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks Rose_Queen... I'm far too new to know much, so that helps me understand other ways powdered items could be used in the OR... The P&P for our system actually states not to pop the stopper so...

    Vial Openers?

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    SandraCVRN, In the recent cases I have been in where we had a powder in a vial (e.g. Bacitracin), they have all been reconstituted by us in the OR. Once reconstituted, we then transfer it to the...

    Vial Openers?

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    I'm going through Peri-Op 101 and one of the things that was covered last week was that we should not be popping the stopper on the vial when the circulator is transferring the medication to the...

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to Sparrow91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats, sounds like all your hard work as paid off. That said, don't forget that they were just trying to be supportive in the way they know best, however misguided it might have felt... You're...

    I failed the Nclex 3 times

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to Failed3X's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry to hear about this. How many questions are you getting on the NCLEX? Is it cutting off at 75 or 265? What about the CPR? Are you consistent with your weak areas? Has there been any change...

    Running out of questions on NCLEX

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to Dinarocka's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, that's the same thing I got and it helped to calm my nerves while waiting for the quick results, but I just wanted to make sure you realize that since this is a "trick" there's nothing official...

    Running out of questions on NCLEX

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to Dinarocka's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Quick results ??

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to grneyz083's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You must wait 48 hours from your scheduled exam start time, not the end of the exam... I tested on Friday, 5/30 at 2pm and the quick results option popped up Sunday 6/1 at 2:01pm.

    Answered over 265 questions in NCLEX RN

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to PinoyRN12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Considering the administrators of the NCLEX state that the minimum number of questions is 75 and the max is 265, one of 2 things has occurred... 1) you are mistaken on the number of questions you...

    I took my NCLEX on a Friday afternoon (May 30th) and was worried that weekends didn't count towards that 48hours... Luckily it does because I was able to pay the $8 for the quick results on Sunday,...

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to NurseEric81's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is absolutely normal to walk out of there absolutely convinced you failed... regardless if you actually did or not. I took mine and was convinced I failed. I mean absolutely, positively, certain...
