   Thanks for the input. I checked out their web page and like what I see so far. I'm just going to use it as another tool. Thanks again!

2. School requiring ATI as part of course

   sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in NCLEX

   did you feel it was helpful? From what I understand we have to take the tests at certain points but they do not reflect on our grade.

3. School requiring ATI as part of course

   sweetbeet posted a topic in NCLEX

   My school is going to start requiring ATI NCLEX prep course as part of the nursing curriculum - as if we didn 't have enough to do right now. I'm going into my last semester so I'm not too upset about it but when we were informed that we had to foot...

4. Nasty clinical instructors

   sweetbeet replied to ERnurse07's topic in General Students

   I so can't wait for this semester to end. One of our instructors is retiring and I swear she is trying to weed out as many people as possible this semester. Every little tiny nit picky thing on paperwork. It wouldn't be bad, but she's not consiste...

5. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

   sweetbeet replied to sallber's topic in General Students

   I'm happy to say that our course coordinator has taken our complaints seriously. In my program we have documentation to back up our skills for each rotation. Some of us who have had clinicals with the coordinator and have then had them with the "pr...

6. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

   sweetbeet replied to sallber's topic in General Students

   OMG! I feel at home. I am having the most horrible rotation right now. Thank goodness it ends tomorrow. This CI is so passive-aggressive. Tells you nothing about her expectations but has no problem cutting you down when you can't read her mind. ...

7. New Unit Secretary - Children's ER

   sweetbeet replied to indygirl14's topic in Emergency

   I was kinda in the same boat as you. I was a paralegal and was making a career change to nursing. I decided to go whole hog, quit my job at the firm and started as a US at a hospital. It's definitely the best choice. You obviously have administra...

10. Pennsylvania suspends tuition reinbursement program!!!

    sweetbeet replied to pinesbear's topic in General Students

    The fiasco is the financial mess that has become PHEAA. Where to start....the overpaid executives who also gave themselves massive bonuses. The trips that were taken and paid for, the list goes on and on.

11. Pennsylvania suspends tuition reinbursement program!!!

    sweetbeet replied to pinesbear's topic in General Students

    I was totally PO'd when I saw this. Especially in light of the big PHEAA fiasco. I am definitely writing Rendell and the state legislature. I know the economy is iffy. But how does suspending the program help all of us who have taken out loans un...

12. Any regrets?

    sweetbeet replied to jromano's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you might want to stop reading this site if you are hooked. Especially if you are a typical college student (i.e. young). Please don't take this the wrong way, but after you have a little life experience, you can read between the lines...

13. Area of Least/Most Lawsuits in Nursing...

    sweetbeet replied to Gottago's topic in General Nursing

    I was a paralegal for a personal injury/med mal attorney (currently a nursing student now). What you said is true, a sorry does go a long way. Most often clients would refuse to bring other doctors or wish to really pursue a nurse if they liked the...

14. Bipolar SN is picky about shift, soon-to-be new grad can't work overnight

    sweetbeet replied to KaminoAcid's topic in General Nursing

    How can you not disclose what meds you are on if you have to take a urinalysis? I mean, you don't need to tell them why you are on them and I don't believe they can ask you why, but you would still have to disclose it, wouldn't you? I rootin' for yo...
