   Hey there! Any April/May/June grads hearing from the detailer or accessions yet? Any discussions about your DPS? Sent mine back and haven't heard from anyone... Hoping to square away soon :-)

2. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

   StudentForever77 replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government

   Hey elisabethm! I think all of us graduating in the next +/- 6 months got the dream sheet... I got that email yesterday, too :-) I'm so excited and nervous at the same time... Took me no time flat to do things in life... like start a business, buy...

3. Took NCLEX, not sure what to do...

   StudentForever77 replied to mstein86's topic in NCLEX

   teacher08 - Absolutely no need to apologize... I just wanted to make sure that my intent is clear. Thank you for your kind reply... I certainly hope that I didn't come off as a jerk. You're right - it's tough to communicate effectively here... In...

4. Need advice about a dishonest teacher!!

   StudentForever77 replied to ipour14u's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm the type that pushes for change and improvement...and a huge 'risk taker'...that stated... Your prof seems to have some high standards. But not insane. I had all essay and fill in exams...proper spelling...location...etc. Other folks I know had ...

5. Took NCLEX, not sure what to do...

   StudentForever77 replied to mstein86's topic in NCLEX

   teacher08 Wow. "Does it mean the institution was successful with educating 98% of its students? OR did the institution fail to educated 77% of its students? The latter is rarely expound upon." It means the institution did their job. They redirecte...

6. Please share your GPAs??

   StudentForever77 replied to sixela21's topic in Pre-Nursing

   OP... What good is it really going to do for you having folks post their GPAs...aside from helping you beat yourself up some more for nada? Forget about everyone else. Unless they went to the same school and took the same classes as you did, it's not...

7. Question about IM vs IV injection, when to aspirate, what to look for

   StudentForever77 replied to jeshicuhx3's topic in Student Assist

   What I learned is that if you get a blood return, you're in a vessel (doesnt necessarily mean it's a vein) and if you continue on to inject, you're no longer giving an IM... youre shooting it into the bloodstream...which would not be the right route ...

8. Olivet Nazarene University ABSN Program

   StudentForever77 replied to KTCJWB1's topic in Illinois

   Sunflower - I should clarify my statement about feeling prepared for the NCLEX. I am truly speaking for myself when I say that I'm not worried about passing. My confidence has little, if anything, to do with my school. I feel that my earlier state...

9. Took NCLEX, not sure what to do...

   StudentForever77 replied to mstein86's topic in NCLEX

   Nalon1 Im not specifically targeting non accredited institutions. I've never been to one so I can't assume what they do or don't do... that's why I asked. The NCLEX is designed to determine if you are minimally capable of being an RN. Not expert RN...

10. Took NCLEX, not sure what to do...

    StudentForever77 replied to mstein86's topic in NCLEX

    Mstein86 No I'm not saying you should have been held back... I'm saying that I think the school did a poor job of preparing you...and you're paying the price...and that's really crappy that you have to go through that. Because you're plugging along ...

11. Took NCLEX, not sure what to do...

    StudentForever77 replied to mstein86's topic in NCLEX

    Maybe it's wrong of me but I can't help but wonder....Those that failed more than once... You all graduated from an accredited college, right? I ask because I feel like your college failed you, in a way. A nusing school's goal is to produce student...

    StudentForever77 replied to KTCJWB1's topic in Illinois

    Sorry locjoie... I have been buried... I rarely check messages here and only randomly jump on boards (the unpredictable it's-midnight-and-I-can't-sleep visit!). I didn't subscribe to this one so I never saw your post here. Things have absolutely ...

    StudentForever77 replied to KTCJWB1's topic in Illinois

    Sunflower - I feel that NCLEX prep falls into your own hands to a degree. I mean technically, if you read the textbooks, go to clinicals, and do the NCLEX exam reviews, you can pass the NCLEX. We don't have professors that actively teach the didact...

14. How many men in your cohort?

    StudentForever77 replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Students

    We had 2 out of 24 to start. Now it's down to 1 in 17...

15. Reactions to being a NP

    StudentForever77 replied to orangepink's topic in NP Students

    IcySageNurse, I also agree with you wholeheartedly. .. I am also a BSN student (second degree) and even I see what will come of the profession if standards aren't set appropriately high. However...devil's advocate here... what of PAs? A PA gets ANY...
