  1. Aides and Ambultory Surgery

    JaimeeG replied to pinkie5678's topic in Operating Room

    Where I work, in surgical services in a 20-bed hospital with 3 ORs, we currently don't have aides in our outpatient department. We do a lot of outpatient/ambulatory surgeries and used to have an...

  2. SW MO FNP programs

    JaimeeG posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all I have been accepted to two different FNP programs in SW Missouri and was hoping to make contact with folks who may have an opinion about either/both schools. The schools I have been...

  3. The waiting game STINKS

    JaimeeG posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay..I am officially in freaking out mode now. I took my NCLEX in California on May 9th, just a few days after I graduated. As of this morning, I still have no results. I phoned the BRN yesterday,...

  5. The waiting game STINKS

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

    They were mailed May 18th. Obviously, they arrived because several of my classmates have their results online. The thing that really gripes me is that when you call, you aren't allowed to speak...

  6. CA BON Processing Time

    JaimeeG replied to mye614's topic in California Nursing

    The California BRN will allow you to test without your final transcripts in your file, which makes no sense to me...but whatever The schools send a roster of candidates whom are expected to...

  7. CA BON Processing Time

    JaimeeG replied to mye614's topic in California Nursing

    Don't hold your breath while waiting for anything from the California BRN. I took the NCLEX on May 9th and still have no results. My school mailed my transcripts on May 18th, and the BRN is telling...

  8. "Just a number"

    JaimeeG replied to ZZTopRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine May 9th and still have no results. My transcripts were mailed on May 18th but, as of earlier today, the BRN has not yet received them. The person I talked to at the BRN was going to...

  9. Questionable practice

    JaimeeG posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a situation this past week that really upset me. Since I am a brand new nurse working on a neuro step-down unit, I have no clue if this is something "normal" or if it is as horrible as I...

  10. Questionable practice

    JaimeeG replied to JaimeeG's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies. I have discussed this with lots of my friends, and everyone is of the same opinion. This was just wrong. I went in and said hi to this same patient when I worked...

  11. Anyone hate their first job?

    JaimeeG replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    I have only had two days at my first nursing job, and I am pretty much hating it already. My preceptor seems to think I am still a nursing student and is letting me do very little. It feels like...

  12. Test results in CA

    JaimeeG replied to ZZTopRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you use the http://www.rn.ca.gov address? If so, it is down toward the bottom of the page on the left hand side. There are several links there. One is for temporary and IPN verification and...

  13. California BRN/NCLEX

    JaimeeG posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    to all those who are testing or have tested in california, i would like to ask a favor. california is one of a few states that does not participate in the quick results service that pearson provides...

  14. California BRN/NCLEX

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

    Actually, California will issue an ATT before your file is complete. The school sends a list of "candidates expected to graduate" to the BRN. I graduated from the nursing program on April 28th and...

  15. Test results in CA

    JaimeeG replied to ZZTopRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When you go to the BRN website (http://www.rn.ca.gov), you can do a permanent license search. There is a link to it on the right side of the page, down under our dear Governor's picture :chuckle...

  16. Waiting for the result is killing!!

    JaimeeG replied to Ashi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    yeah ashi!!!! you must be walking on clouds today!! i hope i am able to feel that way soon. this is the most gosh-awful feeling to know that the brn has my results but is, in essence, holding them...

  17. Waiting for the result is killing!!

    JaimeeG replied to Ashi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A very good idea and one that I wish California's BRN had adopted before now. I am guessing that my results are going to be issued around the same time as the people who are taking the test 3-4 weeks...

  18. Easy vs. hard NCLEX questions

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

    I went back and looked at my notes...very little about pediatric digoxin. The only thing mentioned with regarding to education, which is what my question dealt with, was checking the child's pulse...

  19. Waiting for the result is killing!!

    JaimeeG replied to Ashi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It would sure be nice if they notified about failing results even if the transcripts haven't been received yet. At least that way, you can start preparing for what needs to be done next. I called the...

  20. good grades=passing?

    JaimeeG replied to mrsmoo2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes. Our nursing school sends the BRN a list of expected graduates. That is how the BRN determines eligibility. I received my eligibility to test less than a week after graduating. If I would have...

  21. Waiting for the result is killing!!

    JaimeeG replied to Ashi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ashi, You are in California, correct?? If so, why don't you call the BRN? I know that they won't give results over the phone, but if you have been waiting a long time for your results, I think that...

  22. good grades=passing?

    JaimeeG replied to mrsmoo2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Luckily, my school used only NCLEX style questions on our exams. Many people freaked over the first exam when they "met" an NCLEX question for the first time. I took the test Monday, and I am going...

  23. How long after graduation did it take to get your ATT?

    JaimeeG replied to grinnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

  24. Took NCLEX today with 75 questions! What does that mean? I think I flunked.

    JaimeeG replied to starshinely's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I too only had 75 questions. When the computer shut off, my first thought was "oh crap." All the way home, I went back through books and looked up questions/answers. I figured that it would be...

  25. Waiting for the result is killing!!

    JaimeeG replied to Ashi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Which school did you graduate from? I have heard soooooo many stories of how long it takes to get your results. One friend of mine graduated a few semesters ago, and it took her over a month before...
