This site has helped me so much that I wanted to do what many before me have done and layout the path that allowed me to finish the NCLEX in 45 minutes with 75 questions. I'm not known for my brevity, and I apologize in advance. My school uses ATI t...

I used to do this...extra underwear, deodorant, baby wipes, hygiene items. Steel toe, high boots. Water bottles. Most of the time you will be working with no air conditioning, limited electricity, in dirty situations. Not sure your age, but news arti...

Hi! I'm a new grad. I have worked in my current role, in health and safety, for many years. My office is set up from when my employer used to have a nurse and Doctor on site...I still have 2 exam rooms, a waiting room, and everything else I would ne...

Good comments/suggestions. Thank you. I have been doing everything that falls under being an occ health nurse, other than actual nursing, for many years. I have been looking to find a per diem job to increase skills, but having difficulty finding o...

The alcohol based mouthwash mixed with some water...kills all the smells. I don't find the essential oil spray we have helps with the strongest scents we encounter.

Thanks for the reply! I already do all the regulatory items, plus more. That part won't be an issue. I'm looking to get my COHN soon, as I have more than enough hours. i don't know how to get a medical director. We laid off the one we had when I got...

I just graduated from the Adn program, and entering the BSN program. Make sure you look at the point system if most of your gen eds are done. Depending on your grades and some other items you may have little chance to get in without taking at least 7...

The life knowledge that I had as a paramedic certainly helped me. I admittedly had to read and study a significant amount less than my classmates. I wouldn't say that was due to what I learned in paramedic school, but due to the 13 years of experienc...

3rd as someone that has done both (separately) and don't recommend them both at same time.

I wouldn't do both at the same time.

Just as an FYI: dexcom is just one of a few brands that offer this. For none of the cgms (continuous glucose monitors) is one supposed to do treatment off the numbers that the cgm provides. It measures glucose differently (interstitial fluid), is af...

Not a school nurse, but I am a dexcom user. They should be able to direct a time frame for when you get alerts. You can also get them sent to your email.

No. Just something that some of us keep track of. My personal belief is that SATA is the top tier of questions with priority and delegation being right under. So a high ratio of Either of these to total questions is a good thing. That has no backing...

What we were told is no brain dumping. You can use as many boards as you want, just raise it in the air and they get you a new one. Tbh, as the other 2 people in this post have said, all I used it for was to tally SATA. that is what most of my class...

I'm not sure if this is a real post or not. It's hard to imagine someone with so many inconsiderate and unprofessional people around them. I can't imagine ever dismissing my child if they stated they were going to hurt themselves. If it is not real, ...

I tend to understand. I have spent a lot of time in hospitals and I would probably be considered a "food hoarder" when I am a patient. The issue is, I usually am not hungry when the food comes. I save my banana, cereal, whatever for when I am. Then l...

You have way more going on than nursing school. Not saying that no one has completed nursing school with anxiety, depression, or any other health condition, but it certainly needs to be under control. PCOS is pretty common and I'm surprised when you...

So multiple parts of this is actually completely against the law. Both state and federal. Do not do it. Report them to the bbb and your Bon. What I see happening is that within a few weeks they will make an excuse for you to not have 30 hours. You w...

Yep. Sounds like you are in nursing school. You will get the hang of it. Just keep your head in the books and do the reading. 200 pages a week is nothing...I wish I had that in my program.

After a pretty bad experience getting my application approved I received my att today. I I could either wait until March, or take the test tomorrow. Tomorrow it is. I'm freaking out. I feel so not prepared, although I would have said I was if you ...

i'm sorry you got bad news. It doesn't mean you should give up, though. You will get the areas you need to work on and use this info to focus. Does Hurst or U-world have a guarantee? I used ATI and Kaplan. ATI has a guarantee that if you fail they w...

While I would tell someone that had it shut off at 75 they most likely passed, any number between 75-265 has same probability of passing...or failing. Less than 20% of people fail the nclex. If you used the tools you mentioned appropriately, I'm sur...

Always amazes me when people post rumors, when the info is right there on the ncsbn website. The website even tells you what is on the test! You are right about the last question. For the record here are the 3 ways to pass NCLEX: 75-264 questions: W...

Anything below a 77 (including 76.99999) you failed the course at my school. I have heard talks about them raising it to 80. Do your best and don't stress. honestly, if you are that close to failing something else is going on. Look for tutoring, dif...

Many other options that are tried and true...and much less. All come with a guarantee. NCSBN has their own, with a 3,5,8, or 15 week option. It's the same content, but you pay for how long you have access. It's $50-160. You could take Kaplan, ati, ...
