2. How much do your PCT's do?

   butterfly100 replied to Nurseinthemaking's topic in Urology

   You've said a couple of things that concern me. First, NEVER give a med that you did not draw up and label yourself. That is just putting yourself at too much risk. Even if the PCT label's it heparin; what if he/she actually drew up Lidocaine instead...

   WELCOME! I just graduated from CTC in May. CTC has both the LVN and RN program as well as an LVN-RN bridge. It's an ADN program, so if you want to go straight for your BSN, Mary-Hardin Baylor is the closest...it's also a good program. You can get fi...

6. Took NCLEX today! stopped at 75!

   butterfly100 replied to kcheng's topic in NCLEX

   This is information my instructors provided in school. I did not validate what they said, but I figured they know what they're talking about. I was just hoping to help ease the mind of some very freaked out nurses-to-be...even if it's just a little. ...

7. Just Took NCLEX Today...Help!!

   butterfly100 replied to RN-TO-BE's topic in NCLEX

   Each state is different on how fast you can get your results. In Texas we can pay 7.95 on line, and 9.95 by phone, 48hrs after we take it. I know there's nothing I can say to help you with the stressing....God knows no one could help me. But hang in ...

    butterfly100 replied to superpotato's topic in Texas

    One of my peers had to fill out and pay for a Declartory Order for something she did as a 14 yr old. There is no such thing as an expunged record according to the BNE, if you have anything other than a traffic ticket EVER, it's best to go to the Boar...

11. Need info on LVN to BSN programs - Especially Tarleton State

    butterfly100 replied to RedHeadNurse2B's topic in Texas

    To tell you the truth I had no clue that Tarleton State had an LVN-BSN program. I know they do have an RN-BSN. It's 3 semesters long. There are many many prerequisites, probably about 2-3 years worth...depending on what you've already taken. If you g...

    butterfly100 replied to kcheng's topic in NCLEX

    I was doing the same thing for the past two days. I took the test on Tuesday. I stopped at 75 questions and I didn't know what to think. I kept telling myself that I couldn't believe that I did so badly that the computer was 95% sure that I was not c...

    butterfly100 replied to pie123's topic in NCLEX

    You're in my prayers...since I've been praying nearly every second of the day. I'm playing that waiting game and trying to keep my faith. You graduated nursing school--which is probably the toughest, most cutthroat training I believe anyone can go th...
