  3. TOOK NCLEX!!!! only 75Q

    buddiage replied to clairebearrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    buddiage replied to NurseNature's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My hubby keeps saying, "you did great, I know you did!" It's not helping,- maybe making it worse. I know he's trying to be sweet, but like someone else said, they have no clue how hard it was. I'd be...

  6. TOOK NCLEX!!!! only 75Q

    buddiage replied to clairebearrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine had probably 15-20 SATA questions, I stopped at 75 questions- probably because it was so obvious I would fail. I felt good in nursing school, felt good on the Kaplan (which didn't help I think)...

    buddiage replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    You said it-most of all, be happy with your job. Good for you! This thread is necessary, and I'm glad it was started. People considering nursing need to know what they might be able to get (or rule...

  9. Slap In The Face

    buddiage replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think they think "lowly" of their LPN students. The second semester schedule has more things you may have not had, and I know there is more lab stuff (plus psych- urgh- hated it). The...

  14. How much is your pay?

    buddiage replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    So, I've heard travel can pay well. How does it end up with working for a few months and living in an apartment that they pay for (I hear N. California pays well)? Does anyone still make a "killing"...

    buddiage replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    The "secret" here (I'm about to graduate in the St. Charles area of MO) is about 19/hr (a new increase about to happen) for a new grad. There's a ton of nursing schools here. Maybe that's a part of...

    buddiage replied to brotherbear's topic in Nurse Management

    Then everything I've been learning in nursing school is a lie? As was previously mentioned, RNs butts are on the line if a CNA makes a mistake. I am a tech (an equivilant of a NA) and OF COURSE we...

    buddiage replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did his preceptor allow for this junk to go on??? Oh my gosh, I would be so embarrassed. I always turn my cell phone to quiet. If it has ever rang, it's a very embarassing moment. I cannot FATHOM...

    buddiage replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    While *yes*, maybe you will and need to develop thicker skin with time, why don't you jump out of the toxic work environment until then? There's a million areas you could go into. Speaking as a...
