  3. NCLEX review

    RN-joy replied to gohanzone's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  4. NCLEX review

    RN-joy replied to gohanzone's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RN-joy replied to LOVINLIFE14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. Kaplan Videos

    RN-joy replied to ANelson732's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RN-joy replied to schipp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. HELP!!! Which is the first? stop oxytocin? change position?

    RN-joy replied to cherry merry's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't mean to confuse you, but I took kaplan and with late decelerations you want to stop the oxytocin first. LATE DECELERATIONS: occur after the contraction peak---can be caused by things like...

    RN-joy replied to clawregis's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
