1. Scared.....No Nursing?

   bevtag replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

   It made a doc really mad when I did that. The doc has to put a puzzle together with the pieces you provide. They don't remember the specifics on all their patients. Since you are his eyes and ears, do an assessment before you call regardless. cya

2. LPN in charge at Assisted is awful to work for

   bevtag replied to Aide678's topic in LTAC

   First, moving on to another facility may be best. Second, she may be intimidated by your degree. If being "in charge" is all she's got going in her life, she may feel protective of her position and resents correction. Choose your battles carefully. T...

5. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

   bevtag replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

   Spring, 2011. She was young and wore a cap. I liked it. It definitely set her apart. I have a cap but don't have the courage to wear it.

6. ITT Tech?

   bevtag replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan

   Nursing classes are only 3 1/2 hours per week. There is no way to cover the material in that amount of time so students are left to learn from the book and given very little help. You must pass each class with an 80% or you retake the class. Some ...

7. ITT Tech's New Program???

   bevtag replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

   As with any school, do your homework and call your Board of Nursing. ITT is based in Indiana so you might want to call the Indiana Board of Nursing. Before you commit to any school or any field of study, do your homework. Don't depend on faceless ...

   bevtag replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan

   Hey... Thanks for the good wishes! I'm anxiously waiting for Pearson Vue to tell me I can take the test! ITT was a very good experience for me, especially since my previous experience was so awful. I found the faculty and staff to be very supportiv...

    Hi, All, I just graduated from ITT in Oklahoma City. It was a fast 2 years. I can't speak for other schools, but the one here has a tutor who (free of charge) will help your prepare for the Hesi. They have a small book for it, but most people I hav...

    Hey, This is for Katy-Nursing Student (since I can't figure out how to respond to your message ) ITT is now taking new students. Last I heard (a week ago), people can still be accepted for the September class, but you'd probably be better off to w...

12. ITT Tech?

    bevtag replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan

    I just want to encourage you to pursue your dreams. I was in another accredited nursing program and literally almost committed suicide. The instructors were so suspicious and hateful. ITT was a gift from God! I just finished last week and feel li...

15. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    bevtag replied to yazisizit's topic in Humor

    Being peed on by a dead man. Never would have imagined. The CNA letting a man play in his poo is crazy! If she had been proactive in cleaning him up, it would have been much easier to clean him up. What was she thinking????
