  1. INOVA Trauma/ICU Preceptorships

    Can you let me know what kind of interview questions they might ask? Is it critical care related, or something more mundane on a daily life scale? I interviewed for a computer programming job, but...
  2. Am I Cut Out For This?

    Here's how we work on my unit (med/surg): Soon after the report, everyone checks on the med schedule for each patient. Some check it before the report is given, while they wait for the report to...
  5. I really need help!

    I too think you are being overly hard on yourself. There's a negative cycle going on in here. You feel overwhelmed, so you start making mistakes, and the mistakes you made make you even more...
  6. I'm a big chicken

  11. Saunders vs Kaplan

    In case you're curious: I passed with 75 questions! I would still recommend Kaplan. That course had the most priority, "what should the nurse do first", and LPN and nursing assignments strewn all...
  12. I need HELP with Musculoskeletal system

    I think I might be able to help you with the crutch gaits: There are three types, but only the 3 point gait is the non-weight bearing, while the others - the two point and four point - are partial...

  15. Saunders vs Kaplan

    Hi there! Glad to know it helped. No, I haven't taken the boards yet, but will be soon. I will however, say that I try everything before I critique the cuisine:-). I feel I've done that with...
