   awful pt assignment or the norm?

   ProudStudent replied to maybug's topic in Med-Surg

   The ratio is common, but our unit tries to stick with a 1:5. When it goes 1:6 and the patients have that high of an acuity level, it becomes unsafe for you and your patients. Glad you spoke up instead of just trying to "keep swimming".

   TIPS please!

   ProudStudent replied to inoj08's topic in NCLEX

   Yes, I agree. Answer questions like you get paid for each one! The more you answer, the better you benefit. The nclex is a test of competency and there is no way for me to describe the best way to study. Some of the strategies for answering the quest...

   How to check Florida Board of Nursing if you passed

   ProudStudent replied to butter&jelly's topic in NCLEX

   You are not "just" a CNA! Sorry...had to throw that out there, lol. I've been a very hard-working CNA and will continue to appreciate the crap they deal with every day (literally). On another note, in FL.. you can check here: Default I've been look...

   kaplan readiness scores correlation w/passing NCLEX?

   ProudStudent replied to GeorgiaBSN's topic in NCLEX

   Btw, I actually recognized questions on the nclex from one of my resources. I don't know which one, but I remember thinking I've seen this exact question somewhere. Kaplan's test taking strategies were helpful. Google something about the nclex decisi...

   kaplan readiness scores correlation w/passing NCLEX?

   ProudStudent replied to GeorgiaBSN's topic in NCLEX

   The test was "hard" in a sense that the questions were all the analysis style. I would get questions that mentioned symptoms in the stem and I had to know what disease process the question referred to in order to answer correctly. It sounds like you'...

   kaplan readiness scores correlation w/passing NCLEX?

   ProudStudent replied to GeorgiaBSN's topic in NCLEX

   I kept getting anywhere from 60%-70% on my scores with Kaplan and ATI, both. I just took the nclex this afternoon and received the good pop-up message. The test wasn't easy, but I did feel prepared by my reviews.

    Part time work and Nursing program?

    ProudStudent replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I didn't work the first two semesters. Now that Summer is coming, I've picked up a student intern position for experience and money. I hope to work through my third and fourth semesters. I have plenty of classmates that work part time and full time h...

    Considering Home Health as a CNA

    ProudStudent replied to ProudStudent's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the information. It makes sense that a CNA wouldn't be considered as an independent contractor, now that you mention it. I do have a Home Health Aide certificate as well, so I'll be sure to provide that to any potential employers. ...

    Hello all! I'm currently finishing my first semester of nursing school, expecting to graduate and become a RN in a few more semesters. I am also currently a CNA in southwest FL. I have never worked in home health care, but I am considering it heavil...

    Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    ProudStudent replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    It stinks that you were removed from the program, but the rules are the rules and they must make you understand how much of a liability this could have been. Like someone said in an earlier post, you could have diminished the relationship between you...

    Fall semester is almost over. How did everyone do?

    ProudStudent replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    The semester is almost over?! It's so hard to believe. I too, was a straight-A student. I kept reading on this forum that students were not getting the A's they were used to, and I thought for sure that I would be the one to keep mine. Well, the jok...
