  1. Your most bonehead moment in nursing. Or 2. Or 3.

    JJL618 replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    This was what I did yesterday. Coworker needed a catheter placed in a women, so I told her I would be glad to do it for her. Everything went without a hitch until I went to pull on the cath to make...

  2. How are you/did you study for NCLEX

    JJL618 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated on May 10, got my ATT last week and scheduled my exam for June 5. I was out of the country until this Monday and I started studying on Wednesday. I have been doing practice questions about...

  3. How are you/did you study for NCLEX

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ya'll. I passed! I cannot believe it. I had the worst feeling and literally woke up at 2 am shaking I was so nervous. Then I couldn't go back to sleep. God is good. Thank you for all the good vibes...

  4. Nclex was awful

    JJL618 replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know it is adaptive and all that, but with the questions I got, I don't see how it determines if you will be a competent nurse. I mean I was asked stuff that I probably will never even think about...

  5. Nclex was awful

    JJL618 replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt the questions were a lot different than I was used to. I didn't use Uworld, though. The majority of them were simple one maybe two sentence questions. Then the answers were elaborate and hard...

  6. Nclex was awful

    JJL618 replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my Nclex today and I have to agree with everything you all have said. It was the hardest and weirdest exam I have ever taken. I got the first question right I know for a fact, but then it was...

  7. How are you/did you study for NCLEX

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just got done. I got 75 questions with 17 of those SATA; 2 drag and drop. It took me over 2 hours to do that amount. I felt I didn’t know anything they were asking. I don’t have a very good...

  8. How are you/did you study for NCLEX

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I take it at 8 this morning. I slept like crap, which I usually do before a big test. Hoping and praying for a clear mind and less nerves as I am a little anxious right now.

  9. How are you/did you study for NCLEX

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Our school made us take two exit HESI's in our last semester. Both 165 questions. They were a total of 50% of our grade, so I know the pressure they induce. I used the green HESI book and did practice...

  10. Best way to prepare for interview questions

    JJL618 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I’m about to graduate, so I’ve been applying for jobs. What is the best way to go about practicing or being prepared for interview questions? I don’t have much experience in interviews, and...

  11. Better unit for new grad?

    JJL618 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will be graduating in May. I have two job offers but I’m struggling to figure out which would be best for a new grad with no healthcare experience. Both are day shift offers. The first is on a...

  12. Best way to prepare for interview questions

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the tips. That sounds better than what I said ? The only other thing I remember her saying was the one BP was 70/40. But she was talking too fast like she just wanted to be done with the...

  13. Fundamentals HESI final

    JJL618 posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Can anyone offer tips for the Fundamentals HESI final? I know there is a HESI book, but I'm not fond of it. I have the Saunders NCLEX and the Davis Fundamentals Success book, but some of the stuff in...

  14. Calhoun Community College Fall 2017

    JJL618 replied to JROY1982's topic in School, College Programs

    It was towards the end of the week they told us. I want to say it was a Thursday. Good

  15. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 posted a topic in General Students

    So, I'm curious if other programs are like this. The program I'm in it seems like we have to teach ourselves the majority of the material. They will put stuff on the exams they never went over in...

  16. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the tips about IO. One problem was like half a page long. And it said at so and so hour you stop the continuous infusion because your giving an IVPB and it had 3 BM on there. We didn't know...

  17. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    The syllabus just has vague topics for instance it only states nutrition, elimination, mobility/immobility, etc. Then when we get to the topic they give us a concept map that lists the exemplar. So...

  18. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    It's a community college, but the state changed all the curriculum about 5 semesters ago, so all the kinks are still being worked out. I have the dosage calculations down just not I&O since we...

  19. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    I read the assigned chapters but it doesn't always stick in my mind. I'll be honest too, I do not like reading. It's hard for me to sit down and read a fiction book that I find interesting much less a...

  20. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    One of our instructors said if we mention it in class we think it's pretty important to know. Maybe not for the unit exam but definitely for the HESI. Well if they don't talk about it in class how do...

  21. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    How did you get through it? Or what resources did you find

  22. Having to teach yourself?

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    On the exam today that most of the class failed, we had 4 I&O calculations. We have never been over how to calculate IO, never been told we needed to know if for this exam (I figured they would...

  23. Malpractice question. About my dentist

    JJL618 posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First, I hope I posted in the right area. If not, please move or delete. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. We learned about malpractice in school this past semester, but I never thought I...

  24. Fundamentals HESI final

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Wow I don't like the HESI. LOL. It was terrible I thought. I'd rather have one of our instructor's test as a final. Maybe if we had access to their adaptive quizzing, the questions wouldn't have...

  25. Fundamentals HESI final

    JJL618 replied to JJL618's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    That's great. That type of stuff wasn't my favorite this semester. Did you have to bring headphones? I just learned we do and that we may have to listen to heart and breath
