Took my NCLEX last Friday, found out I passed on Sunday. I am now officially a registered nurse!

One month is left in my internship but after that I am on my own. Smiley

Good luck, it sure ain't easy.

Tonight is my first night without a preceptor, meaning I'm totally independent now. No one watching over me asking me if I need anything, have any questions, validating my judgment calls. Eeek. Hope the night is semi-calm for me.

Remember: when performing chest compressions the heart is more important than the ribs.  Also, stay on top of constipation in the narc users.  A little dulcolax now will save a little finger work later.  Colace and Senna work wonders to prevent that situation and soap suds enemas work better than fleet's enemas. 

And don't be afraid of trach care if it comes your way.  Suctioning a trach frequently beats trying to dislodge a mucous plug from the desatting, anxious patient later.

I kinda LOL'd figuring I may never see this stuff, but a few weeks ago I totally snapped a rib doing chest compressions on a lady who had an esophageal varice split wide open. She spewed up like a gallon of blood, stopped breathing, and we did CPR and rounds of epi/atropine for close to an hour before finally throwing in the towel.

Also had a guy who was intubated get a nasty mucous plug. He was fine, then started coughing, desatted into the 50's and I couldn't pass a suction catheter down the Ballard so I ripped off the vent tubing and manually bagged him and dislodged it that way. That was a good scare.

In other news, I'm registered for a class back at Wayne State next semester. f***ing $1140 for 3 credits, ugh, undergrad was CHEAP!

7000-level statistics and research. Besides taking the GRE, it's the only thing keeping me from being eligible for nurse anesthesia school. If I pass the class, take the GRE by June and manage to not kill anyone in the ICU by June, I can apply in July and hopefully start fall 2011. It's being extremely ambitious but that's how I've always been.

After talking with people, they say 1 year in ICU is more than plenty of experience for the program. I'd actually have 2 years done by the time I actually start back. No work for 2 years since it's 6 semesters straight-through so holla more student loans.

if you want to escape detroilet and get to a warmer climate where you can leave you car unlocked let me know.  I can probably get you an interview for our CRNA program at the very least.  I don't know how well it's  rated but Wake is pretty solid all around and our CRNAs are excellent at their jobs.

Can't hurt! If you talk with any of your CRNA's, ask them about the program and what people think of it. I shouldn't be applying to only one school anyhow, gotta have some options.
