After NCLEX, now I wana b a professor

[CRNA2b-2017]

My NCLEX experience has really prompted me to want to be a professor. Sometimes I wish our professors would have been aggressive and really taught us how to pass this exam. Not only that but maybe earlier on school they could have taught us how to properly remember our common meds. I even feel the nursing process ADPIE can be taught better, not just for care planS but how to apply in this beast of an exam.

I think I'm gonna be an innovator and really change how nursing curricula is delivered to students!

Watch this space lol... Better get a PhD ... imma bite my tongue for now.

A lot of us feel that nursing programs are already doing too much "teaching to the test" instead of teaching nursing. I would hate to see the field move even further in that direction.

But we have clinicals to teach us hands on nursing. And to be honest if they taught toward passing the exam you, you are still being taught to be a good alert nurse. True story: Last night I was at work, i was a sitter (I work as a cna). My patient become extremely restless and confused pulling on stuff. Guess what I did→ sat him up, checked pulse pusle ox he was sating 80 going down to 70. I put him on 02 he began sating at 100 and he went back to sleep... hmmmmmmm sounds like a scenario straight out of an nclex question... and funny I used the strategies i learned from kaplan to care for my pt... I took a second there after texted my sis (who is also a nursing new grad) and said "dude NCLEX is haunting me" and gave the above scenario...

What I'm proud of is I took action quick... I alerted my nurse there after and she said thank u... nursing can be taught in an innovative manner that students can actually apply to both their boards and real patients
