1. Unit Manager Role?

   shmajo posted a topic in Geriatric

   Hi all, I recently started as a part of what seems to be a trial run for a unit manager position. I am currently a RN in a LTC setting, have been at this home for approximately 10 years. Initially I was supposed to be the only nurse manager and take...

2. Did we fail the test or were we failed by our educators?

   shmajo replied to shmajo's topic in General Students

   Hello, My point was not that the for-profit school was to be "bashed", more so that I am upset with this curriculum change and what entails and what has happened to myself and my classmates. I attended the same school for my LPN and guess what? I ab...

   Hi there! Just wanted to update you as well as several others who posted comments & advice. We had our final exams this past week and unfortunately only 3 out of the 12 of us passed the entire course and it appears to be the final verdict. My co...

   No stupid questions! We on all the tests, but she insists it is us who are wrong and even if we prove ourselves right, she is still the right one. I have personally attempted to go over the tests with her but she has blown me off 3 times...

   No corrective action was done on anyone's part, rather myself and the class were ignored the following class when we all miserably failed the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd test. I wish I knew how I failed all 3 exams! I'd like think I'm not a total idiot but th...

   That is a scarily very good point... Concept Based Nursing is ridiculous. Yes I understand the concept of "perfusion" but that does not mean I automatically know every disease process that is involved in perfusion aka all of them

   From the sounds of it yes! We are rounding home base here on week 10... class average is about 67-70% when the answer from the DON, "Do more NCLEX questions, we are working on it". This should have been a red flag, in my opinion, when our entire clas...

   That's what I said! There's only 12 of us now, and o let two people are semi close to passing. Looks pretty bad going from a class of 50 to a graduating class of two... but they're keeping us in the dark and pretending we all aren't failing. We have ...

    shmajo replied to shmajo's topic in General Students

    That's how we all feel too... however we are overpowered by the school faculty who will not let it out that we are doing so poorly. Also, we discussed appealing our final if we all fail again but they won't put our grades in until the week after fina...

    shmajo replied to shmajo's topic in General Students

    There are 5 free standing colleges in our state. We are the first students of a new concept base curriculum vs. a knowledge based one. It's terrible... we are stripped of resources and told to "critically think" but we aren't even taught the material...

12. Did we fail the test or were we failed by our educators?

    shmajo replied to shmajo's topic in General Students

    this is very interesting... you would think if we are all failing they'd be more worried about pass rates? We are currently the first class to begin a "concept based" curriculum and it is absolutely awful. I learned so much during my LPN ... RN not s...

    shmajo replied to shmajo's topic in General Students

    I speak for myself right now, but when I do practice NCLEX & HESI questions I do much better than I do on these so called tests. I know we all try to find resources to pass the test & learn but we are so lost where our test info is coming fro...

    Hello everyone! I currently attend a private college in the northeastern portion of the United States. I am one term away from graduating with my ADN, BUT myself and entire class have run into a major roadblock. We are one week away from this term e...
