SqrB3ar BSN, RN

Well? How'd it go? :)

State what you are allowed to do/what not to do with your instructor and your nurse. Follow them around! Whenever my nurse gets up after charting, I jump up right along with her and am there if she/he needs assistance. Execute tedious tasks to help ...

I have a friend who moved to Phoenix campus and loves the area - we are from CA. Enjoy the journey!

Really interested in getting SANE certified because my mom was a rape victim. Hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to put the certification to use for work (jobs/on-call)

Based on my program and the cohorts within it, it is pretty common for students to fail exams - mainly the first exam. There will always be those few students that do so well naturally or study EVERYTHING to a tee and score great nearly every test l...

That's a LOT of SATAs O_O

Thank you for the response! :)

This isn't about pay, but do you know if SANEs can practice at any hospital without a program if the employer allows it?

I don't even think you have to be an RN to be a Legal "Nurse" Consultant, at least not where I'm from.

Follow your dream.

Great advice!

I was going to ask if you did the PVT trick! In all honesty, once I seen 85 questions it has stopped, I just feel you have passed. Please update us. I am in CA too (north).

You'll be competing with BSN students. Seems to me that many new grads want to work in NICU too, not to mention there may not be many positions posted. It all depends on your area with how many programs are nearby pouring out new grads eager like you...

So happy you kept trying! CONGRATS

Take a deep breath, what's done is done! Relax and reward yourself for the hard work. Try to remain positive!!!

Comparison is the thief of joy! Don't compare yourself with your classmates - everyone learns differently at their own pace ... plus some students may already have a medical background. In terms of skills, not everything can be learned in lab. I sugg...

I agree with the others! It is normal to an extent to have doubts, especially when you are nearing the end - crazy to think that soon you'll be on your own working with live patients! The question is why do you have doubts? Well, "tell me more about ...

Gosh I hate nursing diagnoses lol You are on the right track if his medical conditions are stable at the moment. How about "Ineffective health maintenance r/t noncompliance with medications aeb insufficient financial resources" **If that is the mai...

I'm actually a student there but different campus. I over-studied for that entrance exam (HESI) and passed easily with a high score. I retook it again just to get a better score than the first because why not, you paid and have two chances. I'm sure ...

Thank you for sharing your story. I am so happy for you, congratulations! Wear that RN behind your name with pride, you worked hard for where you are at. Now your journey truly begins. Take care :)

Positive thoughts only! I hope it went well.

This topic must have been covered many times already. I've read through some old threads a while back on travelling and living in a home on wheels and am not sure what I'm asking has been talked about based on my google searches A little background ...

Seems to me that those who are salty about the use of testbanks being deemed as "cheating" have USED them! LOL Stop being in denial if you've used them, you know it's in the slightest WRONG. I'm no nurse just yet. I'm in Critical Care right now and ...

Thanks man!

I actually came across your channel a few months ago! THANK YOU for your thorough response! I worry about having a pet since I'll most likely do this solo. Can't knock it til you try it (the RV lifestyle). Happy it's worked out for you and your famil...
