1. Representing yourself to the public as a nurse when you are not a nurse

   aflanagan9 replied to Penguin67's topic in Relations

   Seems like the real issue here is the tired old problem that Nursing has an image problem since the dawn of time. The lay public have no real idea of what nurses do (on TV, the doctors do all the nursing tasks anyway). We talk about scope of practice...

2. 7 is my lucky number this semester! Please help!

   aflanagan9 replied to mazdaspeed3's topic in Student Assist

   Ah yes - we had to hear that "C means Continue" crap throughout my school; but you're right - B is Better (and A is Awesome!). Anyway - the trick to Peds (at least at my school) is getting the growth & development down, the milestones. As a matte...

3. Anyone ever consider retaking NCLEX just to see if you could still pass?

   aflanagan9 replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

   labrador4122 - Me too - I'm starting RN-BSN at FIU & advisement told me the same thing - use NCLEX materials to prep for these tests. Since I just passed the NCLEX 3 weeks ago, I'm getting ready to take the Excelsior tests in September. How long ...

5. Anyone ever consider retaking NCLEX just to see if you could still pass?

   aflanagan9 replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

   to GM2RN & KBennett65, the OP, and others - From the polling I've done in the grads at my school, EVERYone feels that way now - walking out sick, sure you failed, and suffering until the results are finally posted. I also wish feedback was avail...

6. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

   aflanagan9 replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing

   to the OP: AmaurosisFugax, and anyone else wondering... I am immediately suspicious of the motives and attitude of the person who made that comment to you. I've just passed the NCLEX (YAY!) at 40, 2 years earlier than my mother did. Before I went to ...

7. Any males out there tired of the drama?

   aflanagan9 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Students

   i think everyone is tired of the drama, i know i am, and i don't even have a penis but is your complaint about the drama, or the female reaction to it? and since i'm going to girl you with my girl talk, surely you must know your comment will just st...

   Hi msgonzalez - We may have a class together - I'm GFT/2nd semester right now; all A's last semester, this semester: B-C's. I have had this same conversation about 4 times in the last week - it's on the minds of a lot of us. Basically, it's a LOT of...

9. Miami Dade College

   aflanagan9 replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida

   Holy -!, the break's already over - how fast was that? Anyway, the Program seems to have had quite a few problems setting the summer schedule, and I was advised to just wait and enroll once grades were in and any failing students were dropped. I felt...

    hi jessica - i'm in my 1st generic semester at mdc & it's time to enroll for semester 2; i've been lurking on these boards for a while, but now i have some questions. Now that i have an idea of how things are done (and sometimes not done), i'm r...
