1. Are Students Protesting HESI??

   plumpsters replied to 2btmanrn's topic in New Nurse

   I dont have to put myself in anyone's shoes. The reason no one should complain about HESI is that there should be standards to meet. Yes, NCLEX is one standard, but there really should be more (ie entrance/progress/exit exams). I'm for promoting the ...

3. "oh. . .You're going to a COMMUNITY college?"

   plumpsters replied to Toodee's topic in California

   no one should make remarks about wherever you go--thats just rude. But i do think entry level needs to be changed, at the very least, to bachelor prepared nurses. Hopefully this will be the future of nursing.

   plumpsters replied to NativeRhythms's topic in NCLEX

9. took NCLEX-RN monday 08/11/08

   plumpsters replied to VeniceCa's topic in NCLEX

   i actually think the reverse. i spent a lot of time doing questions that i lost track of reading/reviewing content. when i took the exam, even the simplest things like assessing apical pulse drew a blank from me. i know now i got it wrong. i got ...

    plumpsters replied to BrklynNYgal's topic in NCLEX

    plumpsters replied to lsvalliant's topic in NCLEX

    Are u only allowed to take the take until after ur fingerprints are cleared? For example, they will not issue u an ATT unless ur fingerprints are cleared? I've always had issues w/my fingerprints not showing up correctly and such, that i almost alw...
