What is the name of your study guide? I am going to test next time. I have done hopsice going on 5 years now and want the certification. Thank you.

Zip..Zippo...Nada>>> Tuition reimbursement through employer!

I so understand! I have been a Hospice nurse for four years and have recently changed companies. Cash cow syndrome drove me to find another employer. I would ask for an LPN to do alternate visits with you. Costs the company less and they are very capable of doing the task. The LPN can do the dressing changes too which would free you up for the paper work portion. Over the years my caseload has ran from 15-32. It can be oh so overwhelming to keep up. Keep in mind you are there for the patient. And remind your management about all the windshield time. They forget when they sit in an office!

Prayers for all of you that are taking the exam soon! Don´t listen to what others say, relax at least a day or even two before the exam, and be confident. You made it through school. Rememebr all those nights coming home and crying! You can do ANYTHING! Best wishes.!!!!!

There is also a new pharmacology one. http://www.nursinged.com/resources/products.asp

I used them to prepare and looked at key subjects that I was having trouble getting in my head. Yes-they help! I passed with 75 questions. They are nice in summarizing a disease onto one page rather than reading 10-20 pages in a book!

I passed! Wow..the wait is the hardest thing. And when I left, I felt like I had failed!

Took Nclex RN on Wednesday and in 24 hours I had a license on AZ BON! Cut off at 75 questions! Thankyou everyone here for your support, Suzanne for your quide and God for carrying me that day!!!

Just got back from taking Nclex. Cut off at 75. At this point I have NO idea if I did well or very poorly. The wait is a killer!

Please pray for me as I sit for the Nclex exam. I am scared and am hoping for the best! Thank you for all the support you have given me on this forum as I prepare!

I also check meds every visit. When I refill a med I write the RX number and name on my nursing note.

I am an LPN and work in Hospice three years now. Very rewarding. My company uses LPNs for visits and get us on a schedule so we see pretty much the same patients all the time. I like that. I also went back to school while working with my company and graduated November for my RN. I will take boards soon. The cool thing is my company paid for it all. And they will promote me to case manager and I continue my years of service and benefits.

i am a recent grad from rio salado college in tempe, az. (11/05) online school with national accredidation and part of the traditional college network. cheap. not easy but all didactic is done online and clinicals are arranged with a local hospital where you are at. they are now branching nationally and have had students throughout the us. www.rio.maricopa.edu/ this may be an option for those affiliated with the service. i had a lot of service personell in my class. some i never met because they were out of state. it is better, in my opinion, than excelsior. the staff is extremely supportive.

From what I understand no one ever sees a score. Pearson Vue sends only a PASS?FAIL to the appropriate state board. There is no way to know "your score" on the test. I guess you are either safe or your not.
