  1. what to expect as new faculty?

    nursemomruns replied to Smn123's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It all depends on which school you are teaching for. I taught for a school in Indiana that was just starting a program at a satellite campus. It was a horrible experience. Look at who your program...

  2. PHS pay rates in Alabama

    nursemomruns replied to AlabamaRN(ER)'s topic in Correctional

    CMS just got the contract for Alabama. I am an HSA with them. Don't do it with them! PHS was here before CMS took over and I hear it was a much smoother operation. I am not sure about the pay in...

  3. PLEASE don't do it!

    nursemomruns replied to jamangel's topic in Correctional

    I agree with you. You have to think about past, present, and future activities. I work in a mail facility. Some of the prisoners have told us they attract women because they pay attention. They...

    nursemomruns replied to MadisonsMomRN's topic in Correctional

    I agree - Bactrim and Rifampin are working well for us. Also, talk to operations about wiping everything down on the dorms, weights, weight room, etc. Also, see about educating the prisoners and the...

  5. Question about hs meds...

    nursemomruns replied to MadisonsMomRN's topic in Correctional

    At my facility, unless the prisoners are on the infirmary they get meds tid. Some meds are allowed to be kept on their persons, but controlled substances and meds with a high potential for abuse are...

  6. NCLEX urban legends

    nursemomruns replied to elizabells's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would add that no certain state has a harder or easier exam than any other state. Candidates used to call in all the time saying they heard such-n-such state had the hardest exam, or such-n-such...

    nursemomruns replied to elizabells's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did work for them, and you're right - it's

  8. Question about how to do math for NCLEX

    nursemomruns replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    raremoon is right. There will be instructions that tell you how many decimal places to use. If you put in too many decimal places you will get a prompt to use the correct number of decimal

  9. are "select all" questions the upper level type?

    nursemomruns replied to turtlegirl06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  10. Are delegation questions hard ones or easy ones to have, and what does that mean.

    nursemomruns replied to fishinNbanjo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Generally, the priority questions are harder, but remember: Priority questions are at a higher cognitive level, but not necessarily more difficult. It all depends on how they test out...

  11. can you get old nclex exams?

    nursemomruns replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, it's not true. Doing so would compromise the integrity of the test pool and that is something that NCSBN takes very VERY seriously. Like Eric said, those questions get used over and over again....

  12. STATISTICS on PASSING or NOT the NCLEX?

    nursemomruns replied to dywens's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    the pass rate is lower for repeat nclex candidates. the longer you wait to take the nclex, the lower your chances of passing are. ncsbn did a study in 2002 that showed that. by the time you get to...

  13. Percentage to pass in your state?

    nursemomruns replied to kissmekate's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The people working in the testing centers have nothing to do with developing the exams or setting the passing standard. They only assist in making sure the exam is administered in a consistent...

  14. study guides and actual nclex questions????

    nursemomruns replied to pri4fun's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCSBN owns and develops the NCLEX exams, so it stands to reason that the NCSBN review questions would be the most similar. The style of the review questions will be the same as the style of the...

  15. study guides and actual nclex questions????

    nursemomruns replied to pri4fun's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. Items with long stems (the question part) are not written anymore. If there is a long stem item that is being reviewed, it usually gets shortened. In the exams of days gone by, you'd get a...

  16. What are the New Pilot Questions?

    nursemomruns replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The pilot questions come from item writers. The questions can be about any number of things. Item writers write the questions based on what is needed from the test plan. The test plan comes from...

  20. About the NCLEX questions

    nursemomruns replied to jdeez42's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Eric is right; However, I can give you a little more information on how the questions are developed, since that used to be my job. The questions are never totally "changed out." They are reviewed on...
