  1. Grading system of Nursing Ed.

    It's not easy, expect to go down a letter grade over other college classes. We were graded on classwork for letter/points. Clinical is pass/fail. Failure in clinical is subjective and can be based on incompetence: failure to know your drugs for you...
  2. I Passed the NCLEX-PN-you can too!!

    I passed!! And I'm amazed. I haven't been here much in last 6 months, because right when I'm to the point in my RN program where the LPN students exit, I had surgery. Turns out it wasn't just the normal thing that happens to women my age (40 someth...
  3. take the nclex-pn in 9 days

    Wishing you tons of good luck. I passed it on Feb 26 coming off 6 weeks of radiation for a rare cancer. I don't think anyone ever feels completely ready no matter how much they study. Study questions, lab values as much as you can, go in with conf...
  4. I PASSED

    Congrats!!!
  5. Examination Content Confusing

    Welcome to Nursing School and critical thinking. In nursing school tests you will find that there is one best answer, two so-so answers, and one really bad answer (at least from my experiences). I've used several books to help prepare for exams. T...
  6. ATI questions

    No answers and rationales, but you get a report telling you what you're weak in. Apparently I know nothing about babies. I haven't even had the mental health nursing class and got 100% of those right. LOL
  7. We had to get 97% chance of passing the Nclex on the ATI. Which equals to a less than 74% total questions correct (I got 99% and had 78% total questions correct.) If licensure is the goal, and you HAVE to pass the NCLEX to achieve it, then IMO it doe...
  8. failed clinicals dismissed from RN program

    Well it's only a midterm eval. Self-confidence for me only comes by doing over and over. I got a compliment from a rebound patient this rotation about how much confidence I'd gained in just three weeks between first and second admit. I'm also ter...
  9. I killed it today!!!!

    congrats!! I was doing the "B" dance yesterday after my final.
  10. I can't believe it!!!!

    congrats!!
  11. Nursing Students and the H1N1 Flu Vaccine

    We're first in line at our college to get it, and we'll be using clinical days to administer it. They've adjusted the clinical absence policy as well
  12. What am I going to do!!!!!

    First of all are they NCLEX style questions? If they are, then you're going to have to learn how to take it apart. What's the question asking for? What's the pertinent info related to what the question is asking and what is just a distraction (I c...
  13. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    Try and get through this rotation is the only advice I can give you. The instructor I had took something away from me so the previous post concerning them scarring you is very true. I find myself trying to stay under the radar now. I'm almost reli...
  14. Open letter to my nursing instructors

  15. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    i chopped it all off into a short bob after my first year.
