I graduate in 4 days and will be reviewing for NCLEX until I get my ATT. We are using ATI review and Arnett. Just curious how long did it take everyone to complete the exam, and how many questions did you get? I'm so nervous!

Hello everyone, Altegra which used to be Outcomes INC. Just offered me a remote review position at 4.00-8.00 per chart. This seems super low compared to other hourly wages others have reported. Does anyone have experience with this company? Were ther...

Hey rn2413! I did accept the position. I'm so happy I did. It's been very lucrative! Will you be doing the PIA project?

Hello, Im an LPN and went to school in New Jersey. I applied for an LPN by endorsement to PA and got a temp permit to work. My transcripts aren't in hours they are listed as "220 days." PA said in order for endorsement I need to have completed at le...

I graduated in July from a PN program. I have ADHD and choose not to take medication for it because it turns me into a zombie and I am a lot better off without it. I am a visual learner. However, out side of labs and clinical everything was on paper...

I've always worked in a healthcare setting whether it be the administrative / records side or bed side ( cna .) I'm currently looking for my first nursing position as a new grad. Truthfully patient care and caring for others in any capacity has been ...

Where in NJ? I'm in South and haven't seen those rates!

Falsifying records is illegal. You do realize you are a nurse - a health care professional- Meaning the outcome of your patients experience depends on information you submit- Which could ultimately mean LIFE OR DEATH. There is NO excuse for that. NO...

Moving isn't an option. Southern NJ has a plethora of LTC and skilled nursing facilities. Apparently I'm just not marketable.

In NJ this has always been the general rule. No gloves in the hallway. But also- any patient on isolation never walked the floors. PT, OT, or while I was an aide always had them ambulate in their rooms and do basic ROM. I suppose as long as it's not ...

Apply any way.

Look into managed care and chart auditing. Bedside isn't for every one

Thank you :)

I have a similar background and last year I began an LPN program. I'm 30 too and I am actually happy I waited later in life to attempt nursing school. I really don't believe I would have been able to complete such a rigorous program at a younger age....
