  2. School requiring ATI as part of course

    sweetbeet posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school is going to start requiring ATI NCLEX prep course as part of the nursing curriculum - as if we didn 't have enough to do right now. I'm going into my last semester so I'm not too upset...

  4. Nasty clinical instructors

    sweetbeet replied to ERnurse07's topic in General Students

    I so can't wait for this semester to end. One of our instructors is retiring and I swear she is trying to weed out as many people as possible this semester. Every little tiny nit picky thing on...

  5. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    sweetbeet replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    I'm happy to say that our course coordinator has taken our complaints seriously. In my program we have documentation to back up our skills for each rotation. Some of us who have had clinicals with...

  6. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    sweetbeet replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    OMG! I feel at home. I am having the most horrible rotation right now. Thank goodness it ends tomorrow. This CI is so passive-aggressive. Tells you nothing about her expectations but has no...

  7. New Unit Secretary - Children's ER

    sweetbeet replied to indygirl14's topic in Emergency

    I was kinda in the same boat as you. I was a paralegal and was making a career change to nursing. I decided to go whole hog, quit my job at the firm and started as a US at a hospital. It's...

  9. Any regrets?

    sweetbeet replied to jromano's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you might want to stop reading this site if you are hooked. Especially if you are a typical college student (i.e. young). Please don't take this the wrong way, but after you have a...

  10. Area of Least/Most Lawsuits in Nursing...

    sweetbeet replied to Gottago's topic in General Nursing

    I was a paralegal for a personal injury/med mal attorney (currently a nursing student now). What you said is true, a sorry does go a long way. Most often clients would refuse to bring other doctors...

  11. Bipolar SN is picky about shift, soon-to-be new grad can't work overnight

    sweetbeet replied to KaminoAcid's topic in General Nursing

    How can you not disclose what meds you are on if you have to take a urinalysis? I mean, you don't need to tell them why you are on them and I don't believe they can ask you why, but you would still...

  13. Should I go through with it?

    sweetbeet posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I need some advice. I'm to apply to lpn clinicals here in another week or so. I have an excellent chance of getting accepted. Problem is what's going on at home. Husband says he supports me, blah,...

  14. Should I go through with it?

    sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As much as I hate to say it, I can see the road ahead will be rocky. But we will survive. My entire family is behind me (as is his). He seems to be the only one who doesn't realize he has a...

    sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When hubby is working out of town and I was full time outside the home, the girls would get frozen pizza and some canned green beans on the side with a Flinstones chewable for dessert!!!! They...

  16. Should I go through with it?

    sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too believe in "in sickness and health". So I'm not taking this capriously. What hurts is that I've had some health problems the last year and he has totally blown me off to deal with them on my...

    sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Should I go through with it?

    sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everyone. I believe I've decided to simply continue on with getting my RN part-time. I was a paralegal for 15 years before losing my job. I can make good living at home for now. I can suck...

    sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Should I go through with it?

    sweetbeet replied to sweetbeet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the reply. I've been "back in school" since 2005. So I've been taking my time. I lost my job in 9/07 and have been home since. His drinking waxes and wanes, but I know it will only get...

  21. How do you handle lazy lab partners?

    sweetbeet replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I respect your opinion, but do disagree. We are students and I refuse to do all of the work on top of everything else I have to do. Why should my lazy lab partner get a good grade off of me! I...

    sweetbeet replied to Moe75_Rn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I totally agree that someone should have called the attending. Having had a 2 week old in need of PICU treatment for a blood clot of her IVC, there was no way the nursing staff tried to stick my girl...
