Hello everyone, I had my pre-boarding appointment today, everything went smoothly aside from the n95 respirator test. Each mask I wore i was able to taste the spray. We went through 3 different masks and she told me that since I failed I am unable t...

The person I spoke to was the HR director as I'm sure she knows what she's talking about. Why would a nurse be subject to airborne isolation patients when they know in fact the mask isn't protecting the nurse? Might as well go in without a mask at al...

Oh thanks. I will look into that.

Thanks so much for the replies everyone! I'm excited to start!! The only reason why I ask this is because this health system which covers pretty much all hospitals around me, only allow you to apply to 5 positions in a 3 month period. Thanks!!

Hey all! I'm so happy to be posting in this side of the site now that I passed my NCLEX! Anyway, I've started searching jobs and this is currently what I've found that requires no experience at all. 1. Physical rehabilitation center RN-Night shift 2...

Hey everyone, I literally just found out today that I passed the NCLEX! So I would like to explain what I did to prepare for this test so that everyone reading it may pass as well! Briefly about me, I graduated nursing school in Decemeber of 2015. Si...

Thanks! This pain management clinic is apart of a huge health system in my area that crosses around 3 cities. It's a very well known name lol

No I don't assume that at all. But I just know that no appointments are going on at night right?

Thanks for your response! Do you really think that would be so taxing when it is the night shift though? I assume that all PT/OT etc would be done during the day. I've never had a night shift clinical so I'm not sure lol.

I bought the exam cram RN book for my studies. It wasnt bad but some questions had literature errors in it. I had a question and the answer was metabolic acidosis and went to the back of the book for the rationale and the rationale said it was respir...

Hey all, I'm taking my NCLEX tomorrow. I'm so anxious to get it over with but I'm nervous as hell lol. A lot of people from my graduating class are doing so well on it so I'm hoping I'll do the same. Say a prayer for me or if that's not your thing se...

Hey I posted a big overview already in a different post earlier! go check that out and thanks!

Thank you and congratulations to yourself as well!!!

I passed! Ill be writing something up on what i used to study later! Thanks everyone

did you do the PVT?

Thats awesome, i also just tried the PVT and i also got the good pop up. It wouldnt take my money so i hope that means we passed!

Hey guys. Already done with the test to my surprise. I only got 75 questions. To be honest with you the test wasn't nearly as hard as i thought it would be... it was just really tricky IMO because some answers were very similar to each other more tha...

congrats!!!!! :)

I hope that you end up passing! I take mine in 2 weeks. I'm deathly afraid lol. I'm sure you did just fine :)

Congratulations!!! I'm taking mine in a little less than 3 weeks. Ive used the Hurst review, some ATI, and currently doing those uWorld questions. I'm going to start doing the 75 tomorrow and try that out. I feel like i retain more of the rationales ...

When you say your avg was 55%, how many questions did you do at a time? I'm doing questions in simple 20 question increments and i keep averaging 70%^ while the mean score is around 55% Edit- I see you said you did all the questions lol.

Hey all, I have a quick question to ask you. 1.) A 6 day old who is vomiting all feeds and is found cyanotic with emesis in his mouth upon entering the room. What would you do? As part of your care team you can use a charge nurse, CNA, resp. therapi...

So if I may ask, say I did bulb suction first and respirations were produced. Would I then position the infant in a way to promote ventilation and perhaps give supplemental oxygen? Once that patent airway is established it's just a matter of monitori...

Thanks:) haha

This her is actually a he;) Thanks for all the responses!
