  1. Well, I am a early bird but I would think being ten minutes early would be appropriate.
  2. Need advice guys... Taking the NCLEX in October.

    When I took NCLEX in 2009 it was all about priority and delegation. You should cover everything Saunders review or any NCLEX review should help but you are seeing more and more priority and delegation plus select all that apply..really know those! Go...
  3. It would probably depend on the job. If it was management etc you would probably have to have BSN. Just regular staff nurse I don't see why BSN would be required.
  4. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    What kind of experience do you have to have to be a forensic nurse? SO far all I have done is psych and quality management. Forensic nursing has always interested in and I was not sure how to pursue that. DO you have to take special classes.accredit...
  5. Yes, you can do it! I was 50 when I started nursing school. My kids were grown however and that helped tremedously! If you want something bad enough it can be done. Do you have a solid support system..husband, family etc that will be there for you be...
  6. I have no idea what to do

    Where do you live??? This is such a suprise for me. There were jobs waiting on ALL of my fellow students in Louisiana. I have no advice whatsoever because this is so different from my area. I would move if I have to. Good luck to you!
  7. I learned absolutely nothing in Micro. Unfortunately, my professor only wanted to teach basic chemistry and the Krepps (?) cycle. I had nothing regarding infections, sepsis etc. I was so disappointed.
  8. Well, I can tell you what pre req class I wish I had paid more attention to because it came up over and over again in nursing school, clinicals, NCLEX reviews, the class was Developmental Psych. I did not realize the importance of this class until it...
  9. Starting Nursing at 52 and Nervous

    I also was 52 when I became RN at 52. I work in Quality Management and geriactric psych. I have to admit I would not want to do med surg at my age and I am sure telemetry floor is the same. Everyone is different..there are a lot of older RN's doing ...
  10. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    Only YOU can decide if it's right for you. Even if you get into nursing and don't like it..are you really any worse now than you were? Probably not. I was a 52 year old grandmother when I graduated so don't let age stop you. Actually 30 is not old at...
  11. HESI is Wrong ! Let's File Suit

    I was 52 when I graduated from RN school. My kids were grown which helped. My poor husband didn't see me for a while because I still had to work (they put me thru school) 32 hrs a week and drove almost 600 miles a week. I graduated in December 2008 a...
  12. HESI is Wrong ! Let's File Suit

    Have you checked into LPN school? The Vo-tech's are usually less expensive. I really hate to see you give up on your dream.
  13. HESI is Wrong ! Let's File Suit

    All I can say is don't give up your dream. I saw this happen MANY times at my school and the students went back the next semester and did pass and become a RN. Just see it as another twist in the road but you will reach your destiny.
  14. Hesi Exit Test

    That sounds great!!! I hope ALL the schools that kept good people from graduating due to HESI will follow in CCC's footsteps. I hope all the nursing schools in Louisiana are reading this. Please consider changing your graduation requirements. All HES...
  15. Hesi Exit Test

    I understand completely!! My school also had the same rules. Where do you attend school. Are you in NW Louisiana? Anyway, my school required a 900 to pass finals to graduate. What does your school require. I would love to see HESI done away with. Out...
