I had to take the Comprehensive Practice B ATI exam and also do the remediations for this exam. After doing the first comprehensive exam, I did better, I got a 75% on this exam while on the one before this I got a 74%. I didn’t do much different I think that I just focused more on the exam rather than my surroundings and I took more breaks for this exam than I did for the other exam. With doing…
I had to take the comprehensive practice A exam and I think that it went better than I thought it would. I was a little nervous at first because I wasn’t sure what a comprehensive test would look like but overall, I think it went well. I didn’t know it was going to be 160 questions, so I took some breaks because it was a long test. I think that taking the breaks has helped me along the way and…
After taking the Pharmacology Practice B I feel better than I did with the first practice exam. I felt like I knew more of the answers and what the medications where. I didn’t have time to make a study guide for the medications that were asked about, but I was able to find a quiet and comfortable place to take the exam which I think helped the situation. I did notice that I was more confident when taking this exam…

The application is submitted online, there is a website for New Hampshire nursing. You need to have a verification of education credentials, you also need a copy of your driver’s license, and official transcript. You do need a criminal background check, and you have…
From this interview I learned more than I thought I would not only about leadership but also about the person I interviewed. While doing the interview I learned that leadership in nursing isn’t always what someone may think leadership looks like. When someone thinks of leadership in nursing, they may think of being the first to a crisis/code or having the highest degree. When I was talking with the person, I interviewed they talked about small things that contribute to…
I chose my subject because she is someone that I have a personal relationship with, and she has helped me make many decisions not only nursing wise but also just in an everyday since as well. I have observed this person not only go above and beyond and help others when they aren’t asked to, but I have also seen what being a nurse means to them. I know that this person works two jobs and both of those are…
The primary roles and responsibilities of a nurse in the events of a natural disaster are to work as a team, some nurses may do tasks that they normally would never do like coordinating team huddles and providing updates to staff so they know what’s going on. During different disasters there are going to be different roles that will be needed but everyone should always know what is going on. For example, during a power outage many of the nurses…
My preconceived thoughts about dying with dignity include, terminally ill patients having the choice of when they want and how they’ll end their life. I knew that only certain states allowed for this to happen and that there was a long process that people needed to go through. I knew some information on this topic because freshman year I took an ethics class and we talked about this but at that time I believe it was still a newer topic…
My initial thoughts on the use of Electronic Health Records were that they were used in the hospitals and other health care services but not much other than that. I knew doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers had access to their patients records but anything more I didn’t know that they could go to past patients that had or that other hospitals could pull up records of patients. I knew that have the electronic health records was an easier way…
Trauma exposure can impact all aspects of someone’s life, it can impact someone’s psychological well being by increasing their risk for having depression, anxiety and even PTSD, which can then impact someone’s social well-being as well. If someone has bad enough anxiety or depression, then it can impact how they interact with others especially if someone has PTSD and something triggers them without any waring. Trauma can also impact someone’s spiritual well-being as well, many time when someone goes through…
