    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CriticalCareRN1 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It stopped at 75. I was so scared. It just went blank. I see people posting they got this many SATA, and this and that. What in the world were they doing! I don't remember how many of each I got, I...

  8. Lacking motivation and feeling generally sad. Tips for getting out of a rut?

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to AMC27's topic in General Students

    I know exactly how you are feeling, but my focus was on my grades and not being liked by my classmates, because ultimately, you are the one taking the exam, you are the one making your grades, and you...

  9. My NCLEX GOOD POP-UP

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    But could it be that they just really haven't received my exam yet. Because it is on the NCSBN website, that we are inquiring about our results. On the NCSBN website, it shows that my results have...

  10. My NCLEX GOOD POP-UP

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    @ClayH Thank you! I hope it's not deceiving. So those two didn't get the good pop up when they tried a couple hours after their exam before the official

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you have faith in The Most High, Creator of all things holy and righteous, the word Fail is not an option in anything you do. Positivity is what you must exude to keep your spirits up for a $200...

  13. Why am I starting out making 19 an hour?

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to NewgradMary's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my city, new grads start out around $27 in the medical center. I've even heard of a nursing home paying $29. If your city is worth the stay, then hang in there. Once you get your one year...

  14. Patent Attorney

    CriticalCareRN1 posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Does anyone know of any great, but affordable PT attorney's? I am working on a prototype, and need help in drafting the documents to turn into the USPTO. Long distance is not a problem. Possibly one...

  15. My study notes--Jan. test

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your guess is as good as mine. It just comes with the territory. But you learn all this in stages. I was speaking to a nurse who used the same version as I did, and she took it last year in the...

  18. Critical Care Nursing Outside of the Hospital

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Critical Care

    St. Lukes! Oh my goodness! See this is what I'm talking about. But bring it to the home. Then your cutting down on MRSA and other nosocomial infections patients acquire in the hospital that increases...

  19. Critical Care Nursing Outside of the Hospital

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Critical Care

    I guess that what you meant here with the eICU monitoring. If they can completely monitor drip readings (some pumps have remote monitoring in the hospitals), vent settings and progress, and the...

  20. Critical Care Nursing Outside of the Hospital

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Critical Care

    That was one of my retained thoughts! That would be with the oncall MD and PA. Just have to make things happen now. With the way technology is making a mark in healthcare, I'm sure this would be a...

  22. frustrated with transition to icu

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to bewitched's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thank you for your post! From reading this post, there appears to be a learning curve from one ICU unit to the next, and the learning never stops. So the question is now, does it matter where a new...

  23. Critical Care Nursing Outside of the Hospital

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Critical Care

    I was thinking just the same @sallyrnrrt! The cost of having someone a resident in a hospital is extremely expensive. If we could bring the services to the house, or nursing home, having a nurse with...

  25. What can I do to prepare NOW (Jan 2015 nursing school start date)

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in General Students

    I would say get a good calendar. I used my phone calendar. Because you will need to be extremely organized when school starts. Not sure if you are doing online or traditional, but if you already know...
