   laurasjj replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

   Hi TeleNurse, I had the exact same problems with trying to consolidate. I was so frustrated that I finally just quit. But this one company called me after I had requested an application. They did everything for me but sign the application. I didn't e...

3. Mosby's AssessTest/NLN

   laurasjj replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Students

   We take the NLN for each course at the end of the semester to measure how much we've learned. We took the Mosby's Assess test at the beginning of this semester. We have to take it for graduation, but it is mainly to show us what areas we need to stud...

4. Any good books on delegation?

   laurasjj replied to nicoleinphilly's topic in General Students

   I don't have a recommendation on a book. But we just had this lecture a few weeks ago. Our teacher (who writes NCLEX questions) pointed out certain things that are common on the NCLEX: * Definition of delegator & delegatee * RNs are the only ones...

5. Change in NCLEX Questions??? BIG NEWS

   laurasjj replied to Goldenearring1's topic in NCLEX

   I spoke with a professor at school who sits in to write NCLEX questions. She told me not to worry about the new questions, just to relax. But, after my brigade of questions, she told me some topics that they submitted for the "innovative questions." ...

   laurasjj replied to moni rn's topic in General Students

   I can't make it this time, even though it would count for 8 clinical hours for us. I just can't work out babysitter details. yuck. I was at MMHI last spring and I thought I was going to die! We were there for three months and I hated pretty much ever...

7. What is your new class size?

   laurasjj replied to moni rn's topic in General Students

   Our class started with 72. After two semesters, we have 51. I think that most of the people who have failed a class have given up on the program. Several people have changed majors, and others are going to a different school in Memphis that is said t...

10. down in the dumps

    laurasjj replied to zacarias's topic in General Students

    You are definitely not alone on the whole respirations thing. I have counted many times, only to discover that my count didn't match the PCA's count. 20 seems to be the magic number for many of the PCAs at my hospital. There was one situation that he...

11. School uniforms

    laurasjj replied to essarge's topic in General Students

    I like our uniforms. I was scared we would have to wear all white. Luckily they changed it one semester before my clinicals began. We have royal blue scrubs. The pants are regular drawstring pants, with one back pocket. The shirts have two pockets at...

12. I am so freaking livid!

    laurasjj replied to moni rn's topic in General Students

    I think that you have every reason to be angry! I definitely would be. You obviously know how to take your meds responsibly. I cannot believe that they would even say that to you. I hate to think of what I would have said if I were in your position.....

    laurasjj replied to adnstudent's topic in General Students

    I am going for my BSN. I decided on this because I want to go back for my master's (CRNA maybe?) and I already had a year of pre-reqs completed before I decided on nursing. Laura

    Hi! I'm 22 and from Memphis. I am married and have a 2 year old son (who keeps me on the run). I am in the BSN program at the University of Memphis. When my son was born, I slowed down on my classes, so I just finished all of my pre-reqs. Last semest...
