  3. NCLEX: Interventions for Late Decelerations

    LiveFit99 replied to lookup's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for input. Luckily I already passed nclex! I understand rationale to stop pitocin but still find sources saying reposition first too. For one, my class was taught that least invasive...

  4. Passed NCLEX July 2016

    LiveFit99 replied to LiveFit99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I found out the next day because our BON messed up my paperwork and called to let me know. Normally it takes 1-2 weeks here. It's a scam, pay for quick results... Obviously my BON knew almost...

  5. Dashing a patient's hope or just being honest?

    LiveFit99 replied to xanderfan's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on your relationship with your patient, maybe you could have engaged his game of humor if that's what he was up to. If he's a quad then his entertainment options are limited. When he asks...

  6. Nurses are not in high demand!

    LiveFit99 replied to VAMPRISS1973's topic in General Nursing

  7. NICU new grad question

    LiveFit99 replied to KJCnango's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Honestly I think you'll struggle getting a new grad NICU position with the 2 year degree. BSN nurses do have better outcomes so the preference is justified, especially in critical care positions....

    LiveFit99 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm considering a job at St Lukes in KC. They start at $22.50 and goes up to around $23.75 after 1 year. Other things like their retirement matching seems low too. Anyone know what other KC...

  9. FNP job type options

    LiveFit99 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm curious with the NP specialties being offered like Acute care NP, Adult-gero, etc, Is the FNP still able to be hired into specialty areas or are they locked into family practice type of settings?...

  10. FNP job type options

    LiveFit99 replied to LiveFit99's topic in Advanced Practice

    I like hearing that there are options for FNP besides family practice. Although, I'm not as confident in what someone started doing 30+ years ago. I want to know what the current practice and...

    LiveFit99 replied to LiveFit99's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow thanks for the response, it's very interesting! I'm not sure what to make of it though since NoCal is such an anomaly with high nursing compensation. And the fact that the low-high range for...

  13. Should I become a nurse if I can't work night shifts?

    LiveFit99 replied to Kellywon's topic in Nursing Career

    It's totally reasonable. School nurse, Dr Office, Urgent Care, Surgery, home nursing. How many more examples do you need? And check out this thread: all kinds of new grads starting days even in a...

  14. Should I become a nurse if I can't work night shifts?

    LiveFit99 replied to Kellywon's topic in Nursing Career

    She doesn't want to do nights. What's wrong with that!? Yes, there are lots of options for daytime work. You can work in an operating room. Scheduled surgeries are during the day, and so that's...

  15. low GPA BS psych looking for the best path to becoming a NP

    LiveFit99 replied to cmt2013's topic in Nursing Career

    I think your best bet would be to get a BSN, and then your NP. A trad BSN would probably let you in for sure. You can get into an ABSN just by having good grades in your "science" classes. They...

  16. NP pay per hour vs specialty?

    LiveFit99 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm trying to plot out my future career and compensation matters. Can anyone speak to pay differences among specialties, real apples to apples differences? Anywhere I've seen pay per hour reports...

    LiveFit99 replied to nursedeena's topic in General Students

    Wow that is quite a rant for someone just asking for help with some survey questions. If there are benefits of breastfeeding why wouldn't you want mothers to know? You don't even want reasonable...

    LiveFit99 replied to lookup's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry to post such an old thread but I just had this on ATI. Echoing my frustration with this "first intervention" questions. Truth is you would do them all in a span of about 15 seconds so the...

    Patient has hypocalcemia. Which of the following findings is priority for the nurse to assess: DTR or Cardiac Rhythm I'm guessing its not bowel sounds or peripheral sensation. Is it DTR since that is...
