What were the other choices, OP? Generally, we would put the bed at semi-fowlers for increased ICP.

I would just like to say one thing. As a new grad, the direction this post has traveled makes me very sad. I graduated at the top of my class, and apparently that is just not good enough for some of you. I thought my program was hard. I guess I a...

Most every professional company offers some sort of tuition reimbursement! My husband's manufacturing job will pay for him to go back to school, even! What is absurd is accusing anyone of expecting a hand out, in relation to that benefit. When I w...

I enrolled in college for my 30th birthday! At 33 I start my first job (TOMORROW!) as an RN. You are not too old. I love male nurses! The old stigma about men not being nurses is ridiculous and outdated. Go for it, man, if this is what you want,...

I think the saunder's questions are easier than the real exam.

Ok, that is where I just generated my quote from... even the most expensive, with my "new nurse discount" is 55 a year... stupid not to!! Thanks for you help!!!

Degree.... check License.....check First Job..... check Now what do I need? Malpractice insurance? Membership in the ANA (healthcare politics is a passion of mine.)? Local nursing association?? Tell me what to join. :) I want to be involved in ...

Does a personal umbrella policy cover in a malpractice suit? I am thinking not... maybe I should ask my agent... hmmm

I just wanted to come on and post my positive NCLEX story. For a while there, I would come on here and read a lot about not passing, so wanted to share my pass story. The study regimen was not too special. I was given a tutor through ATI from my s...

Ok... where do you all go for malpractice? Thanks for all of the advice, friends, you have been most helpful.

Just be honest. When I got my job, one of the interview questions was to describe an error and how you reacted to it, what you did to fix it, and what did you learn. Everyone makes mistakes, learn from them and show future employers what you learned...

Without starting a political debate (you won't get any rebuttals from me, at least) can you give an example or two of the policies that turned you off? IE They are anti-Obamacare and you are pro... whatever.... just say... "they lobby against obamaca...

I love my Littman Cardiology III. One day in nursing school I was using my "good enough" steth... when my co-sign nurse asked me what heart tone I heard and I had to admit I couldn't really hear that well, I bought a good one that day. It was embar...

I just bought 2 more pair of the Koi Lindsey pant.... I love them so much. I am 5 foot and fluffy, they have a petite that fit me fantastic. I have no use for any other pant brand. They do wear between my legs... but my thighs rub together, so I ...

I just got out of nursing school, so my experience is limited, but I had a patient, post hyst whose Hgb was at a 6. My instructor was all panicked, barking out orders to even the floor nurses to get her ready for blood. The doc came by and was all ...

It also depends on where you live. I know some areas will not hire an ASN.... Me? I live in Iowa. I had a job waiting for me, when I took my boards. I took them last Thursday and start my new job tomorrow. Oncology RN

Sounds a lot like my story. I bet you passed! The good pop up is a pretty good indicator. My license number just showed up on my board of nursing's website and I start my new job on Wednesday. congrats ahead of time

What was your previous career? Business Owner, day care provider What is your current position? Oncology RN How has your overall experience been as a nurse? I will let you know, when I actually start! :) Do you have any regrets? Not a sing...

I am so jealous that your license showed up so fast!! Seems like we are stuck waiting forever! lol

Megan-- I said that a bunch, too!! My nerves, my nerves! I am pretty sure I have an ulcer! HAHA!! You can do it!!! Be confident! Embabjr-- THANK YOU!

I am glad it was so easy for you. I agree with TU RN, however. Studying takes time, the general population (me included!) needed time to study. It was for my own piece of mind, really. Congrats on passing!

How important is confidence when taking the NCLEX? Pretty important, yeah? I have none. I keep visualizing getting on the computer after 48 hours, to see my quick results and failing. I keep visualizing my initial reaction to failing and how my f...

Oh I know I need to study more... I just started studying for NCLEX. My confidence issue has been the same since I started nursing school. sigh
