1. Why is it so hard to find night shift Private Duty nurses?

   smallcheeks replied to yogastudentRN's topic in Private Duty

   When you are doing private duty, is it acceptable to take a nap when the patient is sleeping if their health allows for it? I love the idea of working nights but I know that I will be fighting sleep if I don't have enough physical actvity to keep me ...

2. LPN...Is it a good move?

   smallcheeks replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana

   I think whether or not being an LPN is a good career move depends on what you want to do with your career. I also think this can be region specific. As far as my state, Maryland, goes. We have a high employment rate so there's kind of enough room ...

3. NCLEX-PN cut off @ 85 today! I want to cry.

   smallcheeks replied to shining_star28463's topic in NCLEX

   Ok now I feel silly for flaking out. I mean I KNOW I got SEVERAL questions wrong. But somehow I passed. It's kind of scary if you think about it... how does the test REALLY determine if you know your stuff? If you only get 85 questions (75 for RN...

4. NCLEX-PN cut off @ 85 today! I want to cry.

   smallcheeks replied to shining_star28463's topic in NCLEX

   I used to think I was so patient. It's only been two hours since I finished my test and I keep refreshing the Pearson Vue website to see if the results are in yet. I think I had 85 questions. All I remember is getting close to 85 and then the whol...

5. National Medical Academy

   smallcheeks replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan

   Yeah.

6. National Medical Academy

   smallcheeks replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan

   Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but.... I've been coming to this website for years to get information. Some people seem to feel more than others that their opinion should be heard. I've never really had a reason to post until now. When I wan...

7. National Medical Academy

   smallcheeks replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan

   Never seen soooooo many people take so much time to say things that either aren't true or are misleading or discouraging. Fortunately and unfortunately many people base life altering decisions on comments left by bloggers who they've never even spoke...

8. National Medical Academy

   smallcheeks replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan

   Again, National Medical Academy never professed to me to be a school, a nursing program, or a post-secondary institution. They simply told me that they could tutor me for an exam. They also wanted me to understand that thet were NOT a degree grant...

9. National Medical Academy

   smallcheeks replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan

   I think it's quite obvious that National Medical Academy (at least in MI and MD) is NOT a state approved program. Let me repeat, NOT A STATE APPROVED PROGRAM! Nor is it a school or a post-secondary institution. If they claimed to be one I'd have the ...

10. National Medical Academy

    smallcheeks replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan

    One of the beauties of being alive is that there is always something more we can learn... A "nursing school" doesn't have to be on the board of nursing's "approved list of schools" in order for a student to obtain a license. It just means that school...

11. National Medical Academy

    smallcheeks replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan

    why sit in the office on a nice summer day when there's this great invention called "call-forwarding" and "cell phone". I know for a fact that there are many schools that only meet twice a week. I personally don't have time to be in class everyday. A...
