  1. INOVA Trauma/ICU Preceptorships

    Bambury replied to msjack's topic in Virginia Nursing

    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?

    Bambury replied to Nutrix_de_Volcano's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Daytonite - what a wonderful and encouraging post that was. It was great seeing things from a nurse manager's perspective. Jerico - I agree with you. I think that sometimes we have to put our foot...

  3. Any new 2nd degree nurses?

    Bambury replied to cjog's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated from a 2nd degree accelerated program this past summer. My first major was also in the humanities. I feel I learned quite a lot!!! You get out as much as you put in to it. In clinical...

  4. Time Management

    Bambury replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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!

    Bambury replied to JahbingRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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

    Bambury replied to Helovesme!'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll be starting in the M/S unit as well. While I think it will be stressful, I believe the reward at the end of each week I'm there will be worth the work. I'm just going to ask a LOT of questions...

  7. Question about unfriendly preceptor

    Bambury replied to cjblu's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My advice is that you be respectful, but honest. Point out what you noticed, and how it's made you feel. Regardless of how she treats you afterwards, she will most likely have a new found respect...

  8. Saunders is making me mad

    Bambury replied to HisHands's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe #3 is the correct option. The Good Samaritan law covers the health care worker as well, but not so, when compensation has been received. The law, as generally known, is covered in all...

    Bambury replied to MelRN80's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Lauran, The time on this thread is from 2004!, not

    Bambury replied to brnsugar61's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm so sorry to hear that Sharon! I'm sure saying this doesn't help much, but things like nclex are a minor bumps in life. I'd be happier to have a nurse who tries hard and knows more though they...

  11. Saunders vs Kaplan

    Bambury replied to Drmy4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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

    Bambury replied to Cntw82BanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

  13. Here's how I passed NCLEX...

    Bambury replied to jhype's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can always Google the words: Mosby NCLEX-RN CAT or go to: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=0323028667 It's roughly $40 for 30 days of use. Good luck to

    Now wasn't all that agony of waiting worth this good news? Kidding! Congratulations and I wish you the

  15. Saunders vs Kaplan

    Bambury replied to Drmy4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

  16. Just took the nyclex-rn

    Bambury replied to BELLE0924's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi there, don't be disappointed. Although I might not have stated it explicitly, mindfully, I already wished you the best! Hope you are doing well. I'm sure many will be saying for you to relax, and...

  17. Saunders vs Kaplan

    Bambury replied to Drmy4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would actually suggest the Kaplan course. The reason are twofold: Kaplan is the only NCLEX review that I have seen that intensely focuses on priority and delegation type of questions. You will find...

  18. First year NCLEX Questions

    Bambury replied to JM284's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Saunder's Comprehensive Review is the way to go. I bought that book at the start of my nursing school, and did really well. As one of my professors would say: "Go by the book, not by the class...

  19. question about cushing syndrome

    Bambury replied to sualumni05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Among the two choices you provided, it would be hypocalcemia. Excessive levels of cortisol produced by your adrenal glands can lead to hypocalcemia (leading to brittle bones/osteoporosis), and...

  20. Question about Saunders

    Bambury replied to K8LynGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    During nursing school, I never took notes in class nor opened most of the textbooks we were asked to buy (they are still in their original packagings). I listened to all the lectures carefully, did...

  21. Question about Saunders

    Bambury replied to K8LynGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You might want to keep the Q&A book as well. That's extremely helpful also. It'd be good if you went through the Comprehensive Review book first, and then get through a regimented series of...
