1. Apparently, everyone is a nurse! (rant)

   Fiat40 replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Relations

   This is the physician's responsibility. I have worked in a lot of practices, it is just the way it is. It doesn't make it right by any means, but I am not sure there is anything anyone can do to change it. I guess as long as I am not responsible for...

3. Apparently, everyone is a nurse! (rant)

   Fiat40 replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Relations

   I used to be a CMA. I went to school to be a RN and I now officially hold that title. First off, I didn't call myself a nurse, though others in clinics would call me Dr. ___'s nurse because I was in that role. The last practice I worked at actually...

4. Passed

   Fiat40 replied to Fiat40's topic in NCLEX

   No, I did not use the Kaplan videos, just due to lack of time. I used Saunders and textbooks to study anything that I needed to clarify.

6. Passed

   Fiat40 replied to Fiat40's topic in NCLEX

   Oh, and I got 76 questions. I was kinda freaked out because of the extra one, but thankful that I passed and that I didn't get 265, that would have been a LONG day. Just do not focus on how many questions it is. When I hit 76 I was mentally ready for...

7. Passed

   Fiat40 replied to Fiat40's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks all, shinarwin, you have my prayers! Kaplan scores were all over the place. Anywhere from 60-80. Mostly they were in the 60's and I didn't get to trainer 7, but 4 & 5 were low 60s and trainer 6 was 70. The last several q-banks I did were i...

   Fiat40 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Found out today that on Monday I slayed the dragon-NCLEX. Just me and a little brain. All things are possible with God, I believe it. Here is my study plan: Kaplan NCLEX Mastery Those 2 NCLEX study guides that are floating around on allnurses were A...

9. Struggling with Nclex

   Fiat40 replied to Lela89's topic in NCLEX

   I thought Kaplan was helpful. Sometimes the questions on both Kaplan and NCLEX were tricky and I don't even know what they are talking about as a person with English as a 1st language. Did you do all of the QBANK, and all of the trainers?? I am just...

10. Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    Fiat40 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

    Narcissism, there is a book called The Narcissm Epidemic that would shed some light on this topic. I will just be honest, true narcissistic personality disorder is rare, but narcissistic traits are everywhere and very accepted. I am getting ready to ...

11. I feel like it's the end

    Fiat40 replied to demeanor89's topic in General Students

    As much as you hate those questions, taking about a hundred/day of prep-u got me out of this rut you are in. My brain works fast, and passes over things, you have to slow down and read the rationales. Practice is the only way, just like anything else...

12. Midwifery + Mental Health thoughts

    Fiat40 replied to rm13's topic in General Students

    I graduate in May with my ADN. These are my 2 favorites areas as well. Not so much intertwined as you are talking about. I have worked as a Mental Health Technician in a psych hospital and I have worked as a Med. Assistant for an OB/GYN clinic for bo...

13. how in the world does one pay for nursing school!

    Fiat40 replied to hoosiertwin's topic in General Students

    Because I have a family I went to community college at $130/per credit hour. After I become an RN I hope to work somewhere that will pay for my BSN. I did get grants because I have 5 kids and my husband is the only one working but has a good job. It ...

14. Morehead University in Kentucky

    Fiat40 replied to sweetsommertime's topic in Kentucky

    My daughter went there for a semester. You either love it there or hate it. She didn't care for it, but I am sure it is good if you get involved, she just hated dorm life. I worked with a nursing student from there, the program did not seem near as i...

15. A selfish nurse

    Fiat40 replied to infexious's topic in General Students

    Surprise, another narcissistic nursing student, like their weren't enough in my class alone. I will continue busting my hump to get through until May, too. I sure as heck do not care what my nursing instructors or anyone else in the world thinks ab...
