  1. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

    @laura09, Thanks for replying! That's good to know! I was worried about that aspect of it!!
  2. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

    @vanessaem, Thanks for replying! This is good to hear! I don't know if I could stand 21 more hours of a structured and rigid class at this point!!
  3. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

    @RunBabyRun, Thanks for replying! I agree!! I like to have things that I don't understand to be clarified as well!
  4. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

    I would like to hear from those of you who have taken one or both of them. I am trying to decide between the in-person review class or the online review. They are both $499 so it isn't the price that can help me decide. I just don't want to sit in ...
  5. Those who work in clinics who serve low income patients...

    A fantastic book about "non-compliance" is "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures" by Ann Fadiman. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I'm a big reader. It's rea...
  6. Really need your advice from experienced nurses?

    Here in the US we have Vocational Rehabilitation which helps people with disabilities. All 50 states have them as it's a federal program. I listed New York's here so you could look at it and see if Canada has an equivalent type of service. Good lu...
  7. Clinical Instructor Dilemma

    To premeditate something like that for no good reason and to share it (probably gleefully) with another instructor is beyond disturbing. She's one of the ones that give all of nursing a bad name. They are like the nuns of yesteryear. (I went to a C...
  8. Bodies, The Exhibit

    When it was in my city years ago, I didn't go because I wasn't sure about where the bodies came from either. I wondered though if the prisoners died of natural causes and it would be ok then. I couldn't decide so I didn't go. I heard it was very, ...
  9. Clinical Instructor Dilemma

    You've gotten excellent advice. I would take it all and handle it when you graduate. It's sad that in 2014 nursing is still one of the few if not the only field where this goes on and the only recourse is to keep quiet and plow through. Nursing s...
  10. "Recording lecture reinforces weakness."

    Thank you for the replies!! I addressed it the evaluation at the end of the course and may address it with the instructor after I graduate -as some wisely pointed out! I know that in this case she is in a better position than me even though I was ...
  11. Hard and Soft Skills

    I am in nursing school for a second career and worked as an aide in large urban university-based hospital for almost 3 years. This is SO true regardless of the industry. I used to work in a field where I helped individuals on public assistance get b...
  12. Failed Maternity Clinical? :(

    Keep going up the chain of command. The fact that she didn't follow the handbook to let you know that you had been warned is key here. How could you improve something that you didn't know about? Hopefully the warning documents at your school requi...
  13. Surgical Oncology question

    I am starting clinical on a surgical oncology unit (step-down) and want to prepare. -Should I look read over all of my surgical/post-surgical lectures as well as oncology lectures? -Will patients be receiving traditional chemo during their stay? ...
  14. "Recording lecture reinforces weakness."

    Hi, I am a nursing student who also taught Pre-K through Adults for 10 years as certified teacher prior to entering nursing school. The above quote was said by my peds clinical instructor. She's been a nurse for many years and done lecture/cli...
  15. Desperate 2 become a NURSE

    There are a lot of jobs in nursing that are not at the bedside where it appears that most of your anxiety kicks in. One of the posters mentioned having bipolar and anxiety and working as a nurse just not at the bedside. There is more to nursing tha...
