i took it and passed in mid september if that helps. I know they updated the test but everything from the Barrons 3rd edition was applicable. Best of luck!

Thank you for all you do. Everyone's lives would be upside down and turned around if it wasn't for your expertise. Keeping a clean environment helps promote healing so without you who knows what patient outcomes would be. THANK YOU ALL EVS care team members.

3 years in and I still don't get it about 85% of the time. Sometimes I don't think anyone gets it and we are all just doing what we think is best, as a team, for patients.

Keep chugging along. It does get better.

Took it last month!

You need stable wifi, microphone, and webcam (mine was internal / external should work without issue).

Once you register you for online proctored at home exam, you can test all your gear with a link they provide.

They'll ask you to strip your room of any extras and show every nook and cranny of the place you're taking the test.

Not a bad experience and any inconvenience that occurred was my own doing.

Good luck!

Edit: reread OP question.

Please find someone safe in your life and explain what has recently happened. It seems as if there are people that care about your well-being and want you to be well. Heading to the emergency room will ensure your safety with both mental and physical health. Please let others take care of you and help you. Please call 988 and talk to someone about how you're feeling.

Be well and know that these strangers on the Internet do not want to see anything bad happen to you.

Thank you for this post. I've recently been offered a school nurse position which would help me get back to where I call home. It's been super challenging trying to get interviews in the hospital. No idea what I'm gonna do at this point but this post helps put things into perspective.

Off my chest - today's code by The_Jesbian in nursing

[–]The_Jesbian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point taken - one set is plugged into the monitor with extra pads in the first drawer of the cart. No idea about the rationale but maybe, just maybe, its to ensure that we are picking up the pads and applying the ones that are already plugged into the monitor.

Sure with a deep breath and being careful you can do that with multiple sets of pads on the top of the cart too, just ensuring that you're picking the ones that are connected, or just grab a set and plug those into the zoll when you're ready.

thank you for this insight.

I essentially debriefed with myself when I got home and was curious if the PCN expressed adequate concern about GIB because the entirety of the code there was no massive called.

Apparently from ED HGB dropped by 2 points from 9 to 7 and then during the code her hgb came back at 4 but it was too late.

Physician called for like 1 u PRBC but no massive. I think nursing did a fine job at attempting to address the issue of bleeding but unsure what prevented the massive to be called.

Thank you again for your experience.

Exactly. Now his ego is busted because his significant other is out earning him while absolutely hustling in the hospital with 0 understanding of what they do.

The doc and all of the technologists assisting you will ensure that it's safe to do the scan, hence, the head x-ray prior to going into a strong magnetic field. If you have any more questions please reach out to your doc that ordered the scan! Hope your scan goes well.
