May be this is on a case by case basis. Working a job where you may be able to study is different than a hospital or LTC job,
Failing a course is never worth overtime $ or repeating a class.
You haven't started the program. This is an ex...
I always said it is like taking a photograph of the bed/patient, in other terms, you said an environmental check...bed at low position with call bell, IV at right rate, any questions about the site (swelling), NG draining, patient at least comfo...

Using punctuation at the stop of a sentence, (as I have added in bold above), would help the reader. Let me just say, that basic writing skills are necessary for the professional nurse. Perhaps you were stressed, upset, etc?

I am assuming you never worked 8 hour shifts. How did we ever get along before 12 hour shifts came along??? Acute care did not collapse, rather it thrived. RN's did not say to a patient "I haven't been here for a while". And patients would see the sa...
The school is trying to prevent any one who will not pass NCLEX from taking it. Their $$$ (including your $52,000), survival, jobs are at stake. I am assuming this is a Florida school.
aren't these (see below) the same except for retaking th...
