  2. nclex rn exam today .. O MI GOSH!

    RC1 replied to sualumni05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kapplan teaches to attend to the least stable patient first. That generally means attend to the airway first but not always and they even make that clear right from the beginning. It's difficult to...

  3. question about cushing syndrome

    RC1 replied to sualumni05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It leads to hyperglycemia too. I was aksed about that indirectly. They don't straight up ask you if you would expect to see hypercalcemia or hyperglycemia in Cushing's disease though; it's more like,...

  4. First year NCLEX Questions

    RC1 replied to JM284's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't even take the review; I just used used the Kapplan Question Trainer software and the Kapplan Review book that comes along with the review that you pay $400 for. I also talked to a few of my...

  6. Any suggestions for NCLEX flashcards?

    RC1 replied to pezfor2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can tell you which ones didn't help very much; they were the RN NCLEX Review Cards, 3rd edition, revised by Barbara Acello and created by Samuel H. Stauffer. They were way too easy. Everybody around...

    RC1 replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    About being available for duty 24/7. I thought it was all pretty self-explanatory. And I don't regret it; I just wouldn't do it again now that I have done it. Don't be sorry for me Mike, I love...

  8. I am considering joining the Army, and have a few questions...

    RC1 replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    I understand just fine. You have no idea how many times I've played the "I don't believe you were ever in the Army game". I'll play you one round but if it turns into what it normally turns into,...

  9. I am considering joining the Army, and have a few questions...

    RC1 replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    No, not really. It just involved excessive restraints on my personal liberty. Like I said originally Mike, the officer side of the house is much better than the enlisted side. I would never argue...

  10. I am considering joining the Army, and have a few questions...

    RC1 replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    That's debatable; what's more, there are more important things than money in this world; for instance: not being deployed to Iraq/Afghansistan/Kosovo/Bosnia/the Sinai; retaining your civil rights;...

  11. I am considering joining the Army, and have a few questions...

    RC1 replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    You couldn't force me to go back in if you put a gun to my head. For anyone with a college degree in a high demand field (such as nursing), the civiliian sector is way better. That's what the...

    RC1 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For anyone who cares: I had 85 questions; it took about 2 hours and probably 75%-85% of them were, one way or the other, prioritization type questions. I prepared for it with the Kapplan question...

  17. First year NCLEX Questions

    RC1 replied to JM284's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Study your ass off during the program and make a concerted effort to overly-understand everything. Use the internet to google extra information. Don't be content to learn only what they teach you in...

    RC1 replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    It really is the safest assumption though. I wouldn't believe a recruiter if he told me today was

    RC1 replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    I wouldn't go in as an enlisted soldier if I were you. I spent 8 years in the enlisted ranks and can tell you, the officer side of the house is where it's at. Wasting your degree to become a E-4 or...

  20. Help!!! Brown Recluse or What???

    RC1 replied to mkuethe's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    I did some research on Loxosceles reclusa a while back. It turns out that nitroglycerine patches over the wound facilitate healing by countering the vasoconstrictive properties of the venom and,...

  21. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

    RC1 replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was trying to find an online source for scrubs for men recently and I accidentaly came across several articles on discrimination against male nurses. I had never really thought about it until then....

  22. For all the RN's that passed nclex on 1st shot

    RC1 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished it about 4 hours ago. I'm a complete wreck. I'm slightly encouraged after having read about everyone else's experience witn this as my own was not much different except I had to wait...

    RC1 replied to scorpiolisa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the RN NCLEX in San Antonio a few hours ago and I'm about sick to my stomach. That was the hardest test I've ever taken. It was mostly prioritization questions that went something like...
