I've seen multiple CNA classes, not one teaches any of that. Even with hospital techs. And I've worked for two different hospitals. No one is saying you aren't compitent, but the back bone of nursing is competent nurses that use evidence-based practi...

To the best of my knowledge, CNA's are not allowed to touch an IV or a foley/NG tube. I also work for a magnet hospital, CNA's can do blood draws, vital signs, glucose monitoring. CNA's have a hard job and they are a great asset to the healthcare t...

I cath females on a regular basis, most have no issue with it.

I passed on my fourth try, tell her never to give up!!!

Passed my boards on a Friday, had a job offer that Monday and oh yes I'm a male!!! #getoverit

I did this using a card I knew that had insufficent funds, you still should get the "good pop-up" if you pass :)

Agreed, it does vary by state!!! In PA here your license is posted the next day. However, in California, I know it takes decades :)

First, congrats, and welcome to the profession:) I don't understand the tone on here as well. In my experience, and almost a hundred other people i know and the probably hundred posts on here the trick is accurate as soon as you get to your car. Bei...

Yeah, unless there is a hold, your license should be available on your BON website the next day (unless it is a friday). Yes, it is scored twice, but the PVT is pretty much 100% accurate as soon as you leave the testing site:)

Like the post said before as long as there is nothing on hold the "trick" is pretty much 100% accurate immediately after the test.

No, if the card has insufficent funds, if you pass you will still get the good pop up:(

If it declines the card, it means a fail. The trick is almost 100%

The PVT is alive and well. Just get a visa gift card for $20 and input the info. If you pass, you get the good pop up. If you don't it declines the card.

There is no way any nurse would have the balls (or time) to do this!!! This post simply can't be real!!!

Always double check!!! Vanco over 1 gram is infused over 90 minutes, however if it is under 1 gram it can be run in 60 minutes. I always reference Micromedix or Davis Drug Guide apps if I am not sure.

Congrats....tested four times and passed, I know the feeling!!!

You're refering to the "HIGH" and "LOW" controls used to calibrate the glucometer once every 24 hours. Once turning on the meter it prompts you to scan the barcode on each bottle (one at a time) and once scanned you then scan a strip to place in the...

That is a great idea for a nursing class!!!! Sadly, my college did not offer that:(

Yes, you should disclose it. We were tested twice in nursing school and someone I know tested positive. The school had to notify the hospital so this person could continue clinicals. Additionally, the place of employment may draw or require titers...

I took it four times and passed, don't give up!!!

Good luck!!!

I used Kaplan, the descion tree is worthless. However, I thought the Q-bank questions were very similar to what were on the boards. I tested four times, the first three times I got 265 questions each time and I was near the passing standard in ever...

Kaplan Q-bank questions were money I felt!

I tested 4 times and passed, don't give up!!!!
