    Shut Off At 75!

    Just relax and wait for your score. Have a drink and smile because there is nothing you can do about it now. I cannot be sure, but only seeing 75 questions is a good indicator that you have passed....

    Nurse Residency Programs?

    At my facility, you have no choice. When you are hired, either a new grad or with some experience, you must enroll in the residency program. If you have more than 2 years prior experience you only...
  3. I had planned this long post that would have been mean spirited, but now I cannot do it. Passed with 75 questions in a little more than 1.5 hours. I would correlate this set of facts with how these...
  4. Go to the DORA Colorado website and verify your license. I never received an email like that when I passed but it has been a while ago and things change. If you did pass then

    BSN-MSN Education

    I do like it but I do not enjoy being contacted by my program mentor every week. Every week they call to make sure you are doing okay and make goals for the week. I am a very independent worker and...

    BSN-MSN Education

    Hello, I just finished my first class for the BSN-MSN Nursing Education Track. So far it hasn't been exceptionally stressful other than currently having two jobs and trying to fit in school

    After returning a patient to our Med/Surg floor a nurse thought I promptly deserved an incident report. Seems like I returned the patient to the floor with make-up (blush) across the abdomen. How...

    T-shirt Sayings

    I will search for it tomorrow, it is late tonight. It was printed on a lot of different types and colors of shirts. It was a couple years ago so I hope it is still

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    I can understand your frustrations about the instructors but the list going around has been quite useless for most of us. Only one of my instructors were on the list so it was not helpful. The best...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    If I remember correctly I found all the entries in the weekly reading articles for the current week and the following week. This assignment only took me 45 minutes and I got all 10 points. But...

  17. At this point I would not beat myself up about a perceived lack of knowledge. Like it was said above, not every nurse will know all drugs but should be aware of the common and useful meds. Of the...

    Thank you. You will be here in no time at all!! It is hard to see it that way because of feeling overwhelmed but it will happen. I didn't have to take Patho because I got credit for a Patho class I...

    Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    Well I guess I wasted my time. It took me 4.5 years to go from nothing to my BSN. I first earned my ADN and worked while obtaining my BSN (which i graduated from a week ago). During the time while...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Received my final grade for the Capstone. I managed to maintain my 4.0 GPA. Doesn't mean much but it does feel somewhat good. Maybe in a couple weeks I will post some reflective comments here but...

    Well that is it!! I just submitted everything and let me tell you it was kind of stressful. All I could tell myself that I was not going to change anything so might as well do it. I took one last...
