1. Failed nclex for the 3rd time.

   mnmcbm replied to jayjaybsnrn's topic in NCLEX

   HI! I am not sure what the cheapest remedial class would be. Or what exactly you mean by remedial class. Do you mean nclex prep course? I went through ATI which was a requirement for my school. I am fairly certain that everyone I graduated with passe...

2. I Passed NCLEX!!!

   mnmcbm posted a topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX on 3/13 and passed! My test stopped at 75 questions and I was pretty sure I failed. I literally guessed at every single answer on that test. It was very difficult. Way different than the prep questions I had done. I had a lot of med ...

3. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

   mnmcbm replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men

   I never wanted male docs. When I had my first two children I went to an all female OB/GYN practice. When I was pregnant with my third child I decided to go to a local highly recommended birth center that had recently opened in my area. I was excited ...

4. What color is your uniform?

   mnmcbm replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

   Horrible white tops with logo and they zip up the front. Really awful. Burgundy pants. White shoes. Lab coats are optional in clinical but you must wear in lab. They can be any white lab coat but it must have school logo. I really wish they would los...

5. HACC Nursing Clinical Input Please!

   mnmcbm replied to rookie1's topic in Pennsylvania

   What? I don't understand this post at all.

6. Nursing Shoes

   mnmcbm replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   My favorite shoes are KLOGS brand. They are so comfy and they have clog style or non-clog style. But the main point for me is I have a bunion and they do not bother it at all. They are a little pricey but worth it. Your comfort is very important!

7. HACC Nursing student

   mnmcbm replied to mnmcbm's topic in Pennsylvania

   I am already in clinicals. Just finished my first semester. It is very competitive getting in but I think that makes sense because it is a difficult program and if it was too easy to get in, there would be a much higher fail rate.

8. HACC Nursing student

   mnmcbm posted a topic in Pennsylvania

   Just thought I would take a minute to touch base with all of the incoming Lancaster nursing students. Before I started I had all sorts of questions and very few answers. Most of the posts I saw regarding the program at HACC was how hard it was, and h...

9. Will I be shunned?

   mnmcbm replied to studentgolfer's topic in General Students

   I do not think you will be shunned but don't discount a study group quite yet. I was always a solo learner as well but when I started nursing school, I hooked up with two classmates that I knew from pre-reqs. We would meet every morning for 3 hours b...

10. Tell me about using your iPad for school

    mnmcbm replied to studentsara's topic in General Students

    That is really too bad. All of my text books, or I should say the main ones, med surg, OB, Principles of Nursing, etc. come with electronic versions. I still use my text books but I use the electronic resources to do nclex questions from the chapter ...

11. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You have to be dedicated. If you really want it, you can do it. It is not easy but it is definitely doable if you set your mind to it. I swear I think that they try to make it as difficult as possible to weed people out. The tests are different than ...

12. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You are definitely not too old. In fact, you are probably about the average age of students at my school.

13. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Good luck! We did not have to take TEAS. But we were admitted based on our score. I think for my school, my semester the minimum score was 94.5 points. Some schools admit by lottery. I do not think that is fair. I am all for rewarding hard work and p...

14. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing

    OK, so I am 44 and just finished my first semester of nursing school (clinical). For pre-nursing classes I had a binder, did flash cards, etc. But for the program, my school supplies us with bound powerpoint of each section so the binder was not nece...

15. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    mnmcbm replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Are you serious? I am not a smoker but come on, if you start taking away rights of people who are engaging in LEGAL activities, you are majorly infringing on their rights. It is no one's business what they do as long as they are not endangering anyon...
