nclex hurdle to jump

Nursing school is a challenging experience. As if the rigors faced during your nursing education weren’t enough, you then have to take your professional licensure exam. Whether you have completed an RN or LPN program, you still must take your “boards” in order to practice as a nurse.

If you’ve stumbled onto this page in a nervous effort to find any tips or advice you possibly can in order to do well on the NCLEX, then you’ve come to right place.

To those that are non-nerds, us nerds may be a little difficult to buy for. But I can assure you that if you were to get that special nerd or geek in your life any of the gadgets, gizmos, or trinkets found on Think Geek, they would not be disappointed.

The Q Card Case for iPhone 4S/4 by CM4: iPhone Credit Card Case Review

iphone credit card money case

The Q Card Case for iPhone 4S/4 is the type of case I’ve been wanting for a while. I hate carrying my bulky wallet around, because most of the time I don’t need all of the things that are in it. In reality, unless I’m going to the doctor or specific retailer requiring a loyalty card, I only ever need my ID, debit card, and a few dollars worth of cash.

A case like this for my iPhone lets me de-bulk my load for routine outings.

Arizona Nurse Has License Threatened By Doctor After Providing Patient Education

The following blog post is an email that was originally sent to @EchoHeronAuthor. It was then posted on Vernon Dutton’s Posterous, Amanda Trujillo case will go before the Arizona State Board of Nursing on January 24th, 2012.

Her story is one of an archaic medical model in which the doctor’s word is supreme and we are all just nurse maids here to do their bidding. This is an indication that there are many who do not wish to continue to advance toward collaborative healthcare in which we work as a team to provide patients with the best care possible. This is also an example of persons who may not be in medicine for the right reasons.

In stereotypical nerd fashion, I am an eyeglass wearer.

One of the biggest annoyances in wearing eye glasses is the constant smudges, dirty, dust, oil, fingerprints, toddler drool, toothpaste, oatmeal and other oddities that can find their way onto my lenses. Luckily, many advances in eye wear technology are becoming available to improve our glasses wearing experiences.

Plug It In & Play Disney Pixar Cars 2 Racing TV Game Review

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jakks Pacific before, and they make some pretty neat kids toys. When I had the opportunity to review this $39.99 stand alone video game (Plug It In & Play Disney Pixar Cars 2 TV Game™), I was eager to test it out with my little boy. Although I honestly think the price is a little high for what it is, my little boy just about flipped out when he saw the packaging and has had so much fun “driving cars” since we plugged it in.

When Ty started play the game, and I questioned what he was doing, he informed me that I’d have to “Wait a second,” because he was “driving this car.”

Cobra Universal Vehicle Flex Mount with USB Charging Port for GPS, iPhones, and More
The Cobra universal vehicle flex mount (model CB-MNT-CIGUSB) is the first smartphone mount I’ve used that worked with the iPhone in an Otterbox case. This is fairly significant since I’ve been searching for a practical one for quite some time. I’ve used a few other universal mounts and they were always lacking in one way or another.
