  1. How did nursing ever "buy into" 12-hr shifts???

    I work 12 hour nights, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I absolutely love my 12s. I've got a husband who works 4-10 hour days/evenings and three young children at home, and it's just a lot easier on me to be able to get all my time done in 3 shi...
  2. Atheist Professers

    I love that Cheerfuldoer!! I'm going to put that on my locker at work.
  3. anybody fail in 75 questions?

    rn2binmay. . .I was praying for some math questions. . .lol. But alas, I didn't have a single one. The vast majority of my questions were on prioritizing care of several clients and appropriate room assignments and discharges of all things.
  4. anybody fail in 75 questions?

    Thanks everybody!! Such a relief to know now. MelissaCT, the nature of this kind of testing is really bizarre, and I am actually thinking about writing a letter to the board of nursing just to let them know my opinion about it. See, it's not about t...
  5. anybody fail in 75 questions?

    I PASSED!!!!!! Thanks all for posting on this thread. I decided on Tuesday evening that I'd just go ahead and give that 900 number a try even though my results weren't supposed to be available until Wednesday. . . but they were there! And praise God,...
  6. anybody fail in 75 questions?

    Thanks everyone for your replies. It's hard to think about anything other than wondering if I passed or not right now. It's like having a horrible itch on your back that you can't quite reach to scratch, you know? It's making me nuts!
  7. anybody fail in 75 questions?

    I know all the factual stuff about how you can't tell if you've passed or failed the NCLEX by the number of questions, but I'm just curious if anybody knows anyone who's failed with 75 questions. I took boards on Saturday, and I'm going to be a nervo...
  8. Fear of Needles

    Where I went to school we did not practice skills on one another, other than assessments, but I know that in some other schools this is common practice. Regardless, you have the right to refuse to let someone practice a skill on you if you are uncom...
  9. Nursing school hellions!

    I totally agree with what you were saying Channa about the patient in sickle cell crisis and pain. I hate it when other people want to judge someone else's pain. Man that infuriates me! Now as far as stupid things said by classmates....there is one ...
  10. Good Grades=Bad Nurse?

    I totally agree with what everyone else is saying, and especially liked StudentSandra's comments. It's irritating to hear from everyone else how the A you worked hard to get doesn't really matter, but it would be especially disturbing to be hearing t...
  11. Happy Happy Joy Joy

    Hi there Channa! I hope we do get to meet too. That would be neat. I'm taking boards in MO. I thought about doing it in IL and applying for reciprocity too, but I was just concerned that the time would exceed 90 days and I'd get knocked back down to ...

    Well congrats to you meownsmile!! It feels so weird, doesn't it? I mean, getting close to the end and knowing you won't be a student anymore? Trippy :)
  13. Happy Happy Joy Joy

    OMG....I am so done!! I am just having the best week now. I had my induction to a couple honor societies and got an award from Sigma Theta Tau which was just a huge thrill to me, finished my finals on Monday, ended my undergrad career with a 3.91 ov...
  14. N-Clex Passing Rates???

    HPlayboyU, I can understand how you must feel with your school having a lower passing rate. When I first started at the school I attend, they had excellent pass rates. Then, just when I was finishing up all my prereqs and beginning in the nursing pro...
  15. Do grades determine how good you will as a nurse

    Everyone is right to say that grades are not all that matters, however, and this may sound awful, caring and compassion and understanding are not all that matters either. The most caring and loving person with the best bedside manner is not necessari...
