  1. Punished for good time management (Vent)

    My suggestion is do more charting in the patients room, and less at the nurses station. when you chart in the nurses station you ppear available . when you chart in the room you appear busy.
  2. Does anyone recommend Prep-U?

    from mid Feb. till June 17th when I took the Nclex
  3. Does anyone recommend Prep-U?

    prep u was required for our class. it is good and the only study material i used. passed in 75 no review class. it is just lippencotts questions. it is nice that it works on your phone anywhere you have wifi
  4. First day reality check

    did you work full time during your pre req's? if so you can most likely pull it off. you will have no life besides work and school but it can be done. I work full time and do just fine. in fact i was the only A in the class my first semester. my advi...
  5. Want to start a nursing career..

    if you already have a bachelors get a bsn it will be about the same amount of time.
  6. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. The problem is that almost all hospitals are owned by corporations, and the number one concern of any corporation is profit. When I entered my prerequisites for nursing in 2009 it seemed like a wise choice compare...
  7. Dilemma! Should I change schools??

    i just have to ask. why will you be getting a free waiver?
  8. School starts tomorrow!

    O.P same here and I feel the same way. we have our CNA check offs, and medical abbreviation test the first day, and a med math test the second week. if we don't get 100% by the start of the third week we are out of the program. so yes they put allot ...
  9. I would try for a hospital job. Being CNA in a acute care is very different than long term care. I just have to ask why would you prefer ltc for CNA? I have worked both, and prefer the hospital setting. In LTC your responsibility is mostly toiletin...
  10. My wife has been working on this for a couple of weeks, and I want to help her out and get going in the right direction. her original one was coacertation of the aorta but now she feels that is wrong. what are your opinions? she is going for her NP ...
  11. Nurses targeted for real estate agents?

    I bet if you were to respond you would get a reply on how they could train you (for a fee). Most likely some diploma mill. This would have to be about the worst time to be a real-estate agent. They probably have one for just about every profession.
  12. In reality both are good choices; it all depends on one’s personal situation. So neither one should be saying to the other you are making a bad choice. It sounds like you are doing some wise planning. I do question some of the people going to priva...
  13. Anyone ever have a famous person as a patient?

    Not in a hospital but before I worked in a hospital I was a bricklayer for twenty years, so no HIPPA to worry about. We did a house for stenstrum when he was quarterback of the Chicago bears. He was very nice, he came in one day after work while we...
  14. You MUST be freaking kidding me!?

    if the DON just hired " a bunch" of new nurses, chances are one or two are not going to work out so you might get an opening sooner than you think.
  15. Adn program cost?

    If you already have a BA you should look into an acelorated BSN program. you would most likely get done in the same amount of time but have a BSN. those numbers just don't seem right for a CC. sounds more like a private one to me. my CC will be under...
