   Mentioning recovery from mental illness in a job interview?

   Sindoriel replied to lunalilith's topic in Psychiatric

   Generally I would stick to professional topics during the interview process. From what you've mentioned I would discuss studying DBT and CBT, but leave out the connection to your past. Truth be told depending on where you're practicing it won't matte...

   80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

   Sindoriel replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

   I started my BS classes right before covid hit instead of going to work. It seemed at the time they would end up offering some help in better patient care. What happened instead because of covid is every clinical class was transitioned to online beca...

   I know some people who used accommodations, but I never asked if they did the pop up trick. They all finished the test before any extra time would have been needed.

   Sindoriel replied to danya's topic in General Students

   I'd say the only thing worth doing before nursing school is identifying your learning style and how to study effectively for yourself. I wouldn't bother studying until classes are close to beginning. If you do any reading try and practice learning ho...

   Passed NCLEX with 130

   Sindoriel posted a topic in NCLEX

   I'm not sure if this will help calm peoples nerves or not. After my exam was cancelled in March I really dropped the ball on studying. Between being afraid of the exam getting cancelled and the massive amount of work our BSN professors were assigning...

    Transgender patient and a dilemma

    Sindoriel replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    I think a question to really think about is how many people get hurt when you treat people with respect and dignity by using the preferred pronouns and names of a transgender individual? And if people are getting hurt by using someone's preferred pro...

    In the interest of concern for both the patient and any accusations against staff, would you have been able to send a second staff to chaperone as if it were a sensitive procedure? Also, checking with the patient if they have a preference of gender, ...

    Desperate

    Sindoriel replied to emilymorgan's topic in General Students

    Medsurg 2 was by far the hardest class I've ever taken. My grades were pretty much the same you had 66 Exam 1, 70 Exam 2, and 75 Exam 3. We also had an ATI exam we had to achieve level 2 or higher on that I managed (but it ended up not being counted ...
