  1. Should I take the first position I am offered?

    RN59217 replied to bluegreen26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in this boat now. The local hospitals are accepting applications but haven't been actually hiring yet. It looks like they plan to do so in May. In the meantime, I was offered an interview at a...

  3. Why do you want to leave your current position?

    RN59217 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This question was asked during my first interview that I had last week too. I'm leaving a retail position. So I said that I actually really like my job: my coworkers are great and the job itself is...

    RN59217 replied to RN59217's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well since no one replied, I'll just update. I waited till I felt better so that I looked good on the video. Dressed in a cardigan and otherwise just the usual way my hair/face look. Presentable and...

  5. Invited to interview today! What to expect?

    RN59217 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I got invited for a video interview today! All I've been told is that the questions are prerecorded and I have to answer them in front of a webcam. So I guess it's a glorified "phone interview". Has...

  6. 2014 Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) Poll

    RN59217 replied to mslovebug's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Worked for me. I did the PVT 10 min after I was done my test, got the good pop up, then 24h later my name and license # came up on my state BON's

  7. So I failed my HESI Really bad... :( Am I going to fail the nclex?!

    RN59217 replied to futuresctRN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I did NCLEX review questions from Saunders to prepare for the Hesi for Med Surg and Exit. It helped a lot. I don't necessarily think your score means you'll fail the NCLEX since that was your raw...

  8. NCLEX Study Tips Requested Please

    RN59217 replied to cappie000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They decreased the amount of pharm on the test! Used to be 12-18%, now it's 9-15%. Know your classifications. I had I think 3 pharm questions out of 75 and that was it. One I think I got wrong, quite...

  9. Confused and Overwhelmed!! Please Help.. NCLEX-RN

    RN59217 replied to aed2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You all are aware that the NCLEX is adaptive testing, right? Some people from my class passed the NCLEX with little preparation. Then there was me. I took Kaplan, did questions out of Saunders,...

  10. Answers to "why you want to work here"

    RN59217 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If L&D is your dream job, but you're interviewing for Med-Surg, I would play up Med-Surg in the interview. You don't know that in 5 years you're going to still want L&D. You might adore...

  11. interviewer asked about religion - what would you say?

    RN59217 replied to ceccia's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Was it on a unit where the religious preference would even be an issue? Like a L&D/OB unit where you may have to deal with abortion

  12. interviewer asked about religion - what would you say?

    RN59217 replied to ceccia's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think that was a perfect answer. I don't know if you could report the person to someone higher up since it is really illegal for them to ask you that

  14. Embroidery on lab coat

    RN59217 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi, my dad and I are having a discussion/debate on what is the appropriate title to give me now and have embroidered on a lab coat. The options are, (My name), BSN, RN or (My name), BS, BSN, RN since...

  15. Nclex results

    RN59217 replied to BeautifulDisaster's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check your state BON's website. If your state is quick, they might post your license before the Quick Results are available. Don't get freaked out if they don't though, they could just be slow to...

  17. Best way to Study for Nclex-Suggestions

    RN59217 replied to missy26's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't use the NCSBN Learning Extension as my tool for studying, but most people say to do lots and lots of questions. Also, know your content. You need a good, solid foundation of the disease...

  18. UAP duties....help

    RN59217 replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Be careful with this. The term "assessment" can be thrown around and used in places where assessment is not actually required. The NCLEX wants you to determine what is actually "assessment". For NCLEX...

  19. UAP duties....help

    RN59217 replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Additionally: learn synonyms for "assessment". If it says "determine the pH of the aspirate from a NG tube", that's

  20. UAP duties....help

    RN59217 replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Only RNs assess. Only RNs do blood. Only RNs give IV pushes. LPNs can do procedures, so dressing changes, insert catheters, drop NG tubes.... UAP can do everything else. Assist with feedings,...

  21. How to answer Priority Questions on the NCLEX?

    RN59217 replied to RNfindingherway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just for the record... DKA is considered an actual problem. Suicide risk is considered potential. They are not actively attempting suicide. That's really splitting fine hairs, but if you're asked to...

  22. How to answer Priority Questions on the NCLEX?

    RN59217 replied to RNfindingherway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Whether right or wrong, I would have said 4 for the Kaplan question you posted. You really don't want one patient punching another patient. Wanting to be a model and drinking water/eating veggies does...

  23. Last minute Qs for NCLEX-RN

    RN59217 replied to applepie2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't you give lidocaine for Vtach? Only deFIBrillate for Vfib.... I think Afib

  24. NCLEX Prep

    RN59217 replied to lyssalu's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan. Got a 78 on QT7. Averaged in the 60s in QBank. Passed the NCLEX-RN in 75 questions. Barbara Irwin said that you should expect somewhere in the 50s on the Kaplan tests 'cause on the...
