Hi All! I am a recent grad, taking my NCLEX next week. I am looking for some help in the job department. I have over 7 years experience in patient care but I know its super difficult to get any feedback from HR departments when applying for jobs through the hospital websites. Does anyone have any nurse recruiter contacts for hospitals in the NYC/Long Island area? Any help would be super appreciated! Thanks! Ashley

If you're like me, invest in a lot of loose leaf. I take notes incessantly and am constantly running out to get more paper. Scrubs with lots of pockets, you will never have enough pockets to keep everything you need A good stethoscope. A lot of people will tell you its not necessary until you graduate but I find that I am able to perform a far better assessment than my classmates because I have a great stethoscope "RN Notes" book. Its small and fits in scrub pockets but contains so much information. It's also erasable with alcohol swabs so you can write all over it during clinical and erase it after Comfortable shoes. You'll be on your feet all day and nothing is worse then back pain on top of everything else All the NCLEX books you can afford. I do questions every day and find that it really helps improve my test-taking in school by knowing how the questions will be asked

Hi guys! I'm looking for some help on two med-surg final questions. Our professor gave us these questions and the answers and i'm not sure on the correct one 1. Patient is ordered for 150mg of amoxicillin q8h. How many days will 250mL last if 5mL contains 125mg A. 11 days B. 12 days C. 13 days D. 14 days The answer I got was 13.8 days and we're not sure if the answer would be rounded to 14 or left at 13 because then the 14th day you wouldn't receive the full dose 2. When providing dietary teaching for a patient with NIDDM, the nurse recommends the importance of consuming the RDA of which electrolyte? A. Potassium B. Magnesium C. Sodium Bicarb D. Sodium Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!
