Hello my friends, I am a full time level II (RN) student with 3 classes and 1 clinical left in this program. I believe the nursing program is biased towards men and just not sure what, if anything I should do. Last semester the males had some unfair ...

I have a meeting with the Dean of Instruction on friday. Bringing one of the victoms with me as a witness. :cheers: Dabuggy

Thank you all for the replies. While I have sat back and pondered as to what to do, others have come forward and talked with the President. I'm not sure if I have placed a target on my back, but believe I should stick with my brothers. I have emailed...

Hi Alex, If you already have taken classes at MCC, they should have your high school transcripts. When I took my pre-reqs there, I had to have them sent prior to signing up for any classes. But be safe and have them sent again. How long ago did you t...

I took the NCLEX today. They even gave me all 205 questions... GULP. I kept hoping around 85 please shut off. So what I have read on this site so far is just wait and see. Anyone get all the questions and pass. I thought I was doing so well. Then I c...

Wow, I would think you guys should be grandfathered in. I would talk with an attorney and ask if they can help. It may cost a few dollars in legal fees, but may save you a lot of money. Attorneys have a way of wording things that can be in your favor...

Erin Thank you. I believe this is the program I was lookung for since you mentioned WI. Another LPN told me about this but did not remember the name. Said the clinicals were in WI. Thank you again, I will look into this. Dabuggy

Thank you Erin, Ugg, this was a duplicate message. could not figure out how to erase one. Dabuggy

OK, I see this is an old thread, but what are the clinicals like at Excelsior? That is how many days and where did you go? Thank you Dabuggy

I worked as a carpenter/floor layer & wish I had gotten into nursing after high school. I wish I would have worked as a CNA for a while before getting my LPN tho. I am working on my RN at this time. It was hard getting my foot on the door as a ne...

I was working in a NH that was connected to a hospital. Worked the midnight shift and had between 35-40 pt a night. The hospital was sending pt's over because they did not have the room, basic recovery stuff. Because of politics in the NH if there wa...

Hello, I hope someone can clarify this. Is it in violation of the HIPPA law if I notify my sister of her grandsons condition. My nephew sent me an email stating his son has a hernia and hemorrhoids. I tried to gain more information in two emails sinc...

Thank you both for the replies. Understand it now. Dabuggy

Hey Matt I like that reply. I have been told by a husband and wife in our program (Both RN students) that our DON does not like men in nursing. They state she said it. I have never had a problem with her. Some others have told me the same. She smiles...

Hey what is the addy to that website? there has been a lot of post lately about the NLN entrance exam. This website may help them. Dabuggy

Hello, Congratulations on making it into Nursing school. That is a huge step out of the way. Put some notes on cards while the children are watching tv or coloring. Record your lectures and listen to it when you can. Study when the kids go to bed. R...

Ok, Thank you for clarifying that. I stand corrected. That is why I answered your question with the#'s in the first sentence. There was something I guess I read into it about age. Sorry for the misinterpretation. Dabuggy

Hello, we have 20 in our LPN program and 12 in our RN program. No, I do not get the connection of the part about being 40 and not making it. Most of the males and females in our program over the age of 40 are extremely intelligent. In fact more young...

Hello, At my college we have to take the NLN for each class. If we don't pass the NLN we must retake that class. I found the NLN to be close to the NCLEX test. You can get a CD of the NCLEX at most libraries in the NCLEX books. Refresh on meds, Peds,...

Last month Detroit hired a few LPN's. Metro Detroit not hiring. Roscommon,Gaylord, Grayling is not hiring LPN's either. They do have some on staff but they have years in with the hospitals. Rumor at my school is that the LPN program will start to be ...

That sounds like a good class to take. I took Spanish and at the back of the book, they had 3 pages of medical terms in Spanish. Dabuggy

I just realized that the link above goes to a website that is set up like the Hole's A+P website I was talking about. Use it too your advantage. Dabuggy

Hello, I was hired on the rehabilitation wing of a hospital on Nov 27th. I could not start training in Dec because they had too many people in training. So now I start on Jan 9th. As with my interview, I reminded the DON that I start school on the 15...

Thank you. It is a month away and something may come up. Or atleast I have a month to think about things. Dabuggy

Thank you. That NSO sounds like the one I was looking for. Thank you Dabuggy
