  1. It's 0845 am, and no results available!

    TexasPediRN replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck!! Its 7:53 here - I looked at your post and was going to tell u to hang on for 5 more minutes til it turned 8, but I realized you must be on Eastern time! So I wont tell you to hang on a few...

  2. Uggh, so frustrated.....

    TexasPediRN replied to Angela1336's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im right with you. I was horrible @ Chemistry - I worked my a$$ off and ended up with a C - the lowest grade I've ever had. I used a study buddy to help me with chem - one that was doing very well in...

  3. Houston Hospital CNA jobs: SO HARD TO GET IN

    TexasPediRN replied to PeachPie's topic in Texas Nursing

    PeachPie: Do you have your CNA certification and is it current? Maybe once you get into the nursing program too things will be different - employers love nursing students. There are many hospitals...

  4. Question about hours

    TexasPediRN replied to user9876's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It really depends on the hospital itself - I just recently interviewed for a 12 hour day shift position, and the supervisor told me that days were the hardest for her to fill!! She said that night...

  5. ERI compared to NCLEX?

    TexasPediRN replied to RNratched's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Simssn- Try doing a search for ERI, you'll come up with a few good threads that answer your question fully. As for ERI vs. NCLEX, they were nothing alike in my opinion. I think ERI helped me with my...

  6. Houston Hospital CNA jobs: SO HARD TO GET IN

    TexasPediRN replied to PeachPie's topic in Texas Nursing

    Houston Hospitals are hard to get into period! I had trouble getting a job in one when I first moved here, and I live 5 miles from the med center. It would have been the perfect job! I t hink you are...

    TexasPediRN replied to chelli73's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I dont know if this would work for you or not.. But I moved from PA to TX last year and needed to be fingerprinted for the TX BON. I applied in PA, and got back needed paperwork including my...

  8. What's your favorite pair of nursing shoes?

    TexasPediRN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Easy Spirits. you can buy them @ JCpenneys or online. Maybe not the best looking shoe, but I love them. Another nurse I used to work with swore by them too. When you put them on it feels like you're...

  9. Help me understand this

    TexasPediRN replied to NoMoreStudying's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NoMoreStudying: I highlighted this area of your post in particular as it is false. Regardless of whether or not your got the last question right, does not determine if you passed or failed. Rather,...

  10. pediatric nursing clinicals

    TexasPediRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree 100%. UKStudent is corrent: Peds patients crash quickly - I dont know what type of peds setting you will be doing your clinicals in, but its something to watch out for. Infants also can come...

  11. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    TexasPediRN replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    Siri- You are correct - I probably should have elaborated further in that last post. Nurse Practictioners will do pelvic/breast exams on each other, but this isnt something that is learned in nursing...

  12. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    TexasPediRN replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    I just want to clear this up: Nurses do NOT do pelvic exams. Below is what wildmountainchild originally posted regarding that

  13. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    TexasPediRN replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    I think most of the nurses on here have faced this issue during school. I too, had to perform bed baths on my classmates. What we did though, is one of us was the "patient" , and wore a bathing suit...

  14. NCLEX-RN Made Incredibly Easy Study Guide

    TexasPediRN replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Loved it :) That was all I used to study for the NCLEX, and I also used it when I had tests in school to study the questions from. I think its a wonderful book that is very well written and helps you...

  15. NCLEX decides pass/fail with 95% accuracy?

    TexasPediRN replied to goudagirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Liz- It does not mean that 5 out of 100 people will fail even though they should have passed. What it means, is that with a 95% accuracy, it will determine whether YOU have passed or failed. When...

  16. NCLEX PN today QUESTION

    TexasPediRN replied to Janet Jones's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pearson will only post quick results in certain states - make sure your state is one of them. Personally instead of paying to check on pearson, I'd check on your BON's website under license...

  17. Nursing Shortage?

    TexasPediRN replied to Pupnshnooter's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say that I agree with the OP, but I do. I work home health, and I work both the position of clinical coordinator (office) and field staff nurse. I'm amazed at the nurses who walk through...

  18. NCLEX PN today QUESTION

    TexasPediRN replied to Janet Jones's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    False. Regardless of whether or not your got the last question right does not mean you passed the test. Sorry, but thats how it goes.... I do hope you passed though!

  19. Hospital employment available to us prior to becoming an RN?

    TexasPediRN replied to jbjints's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you thought about getting your CNA and working in the hospital actually with patients, instead of applying for the clerical assistant job? Also, most hospitals will take a student nurse after 1...

  20. My new job...

    TexasPediRN replied to McArdle's topic in General Nursing

    I do think that we are in agreement. I would hate to see anyone take such a risk as to manage the care of a ventilator dependent patient who hasnt had the proper training to take care of said...

  21. My new job...

    TexasPediRN replied to McArdle's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand what your are saying, but please read my post again. I was saying how Medicaid is paying for these non-licensed attendants, its not something I agree with, but its happening. I...

  22. My new job...

    TexasPediRN replied to McArdle's topic in General Nursing

    Just my 2 cents-- I'm assuming this patient's insurance is Medicaid, as here in Texas, Medicaid will pay for non-skilled caregivers to come and sit with patients. Normally, with my patients (private...

  23. How to answer ml questions?

    TexasPediRN replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Answer correctly, dont round up. 0.75ml can be drawn up quite easily - you just need to grab a syringe that has enough lines on it for you to decipher the 0.75 mark. I dont recommend rounding up on...

  24. Freaking out after NCLEX

    TexasPediRN replied to RNjune_2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NoLifeRNStudent: Everyone freaks out after NCLEX, its just something that is unavoidable.. Does your state participate in quick results so you can see if you passed or not after 48 hours? I hope you...

  25. well no news is not good news

    TexasPediRN replied to crzmomof3boys's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pending does not mean you failed. Pending means the board has not looked at your results yet. You need to give it at least 48 hours before you can get quick results. good
