  1. Men in Nursing...

    I hate to break it to everyone, but the mentality that nursing isn't a "man's job" still exists. Even as a student I got asked why I wanted to be a nurse because it's a "woman's job". I imagine it's a rural area thing.
  2. How far is your commute to clinicals?

    I live in a city ~10,000. The closest drive for a clinical site was like 5 minutes. The furthest was around an hour and 15 minutes The only thing that sucked about the further away clinical was getting patient information the night before. It's prett...
  3. New Graduate RN

    Depends on you. How well prepared your school ACTUALLY made you, how long it takes you study things normally, resources available to you, stuff like that. I graduated and took a week off from all school related stuff and then started to study. I stud...
  4. Am I missing something?

    Some people just learn differently than others. Perhaps you just pick up on things faster than most. I was like you until maternity and then I wanted to pull my hair out studying. Just hope you can be like this through everything. Just be wary, I mis...
  5. ROOT RULE

    Why be judged for 75 or say even 265? Why not 4000? Don't know. A bunch of people with a way better degree than I decided that a computer system could figure out if we are good enough to be nurses or not. It's all to ensure that we have the ability t...
  6. ROOT RULE

    The way I understand it is if you Run out of time it takes your last 50 questions and if you got more than half right and were above the passing "line" you pass. I'm sure you can look at the NCLEX's site and find the exact answer though. Haven't hear...
  7. CNA working in high school

    It's totally possible. I had done the same thing when I was in High School. Just be prepared for long days. Hospitals typically don't hire High School CNAs because of labor laws, but that depends on the state you're working in. If it's truly what you...
  8. are ATI's rigged?

    My school forces us to do ATI in order to progress. The best advice I can give you is use quizlet. There are hundreds upon hundreds of people that have made note cards for ATI. It will help in the long run. I feel ATI tries to make you focus on the l...
  9. Nursing mnemonics

    Most assessment stuff you just kinda have to memorize. I've never heard of any mnemonics for them at least. Repetitiveness helps with assessment stuff once you start clinicals/preceptorship/whatever you want to call it you'll do so many assessments t...
  10. Everyone deals with depression differently. I don't know much about OCD and anxiety other than what school has taught me. I do know that most schools are willing to accommodate you if you have special needs. If you have test anxiety talk to an instru...
  11. My next step?!

    I'm pretty much experiencing the same thing at my school. It's the problem with for-profit college. I've realized my education is suffering as well. If I wasn't a semester away from graduating I would turn heel and go to a "real" college. I don't ...
  12. TEAS VI - failed :(

    Although I passed the TEAS on my first attempt I can give you the advice that some fellow student talked about. Did they give you a print out of what you did bad on? I know my school gave me one and it showed some areas that I could improve in. My fe...
