    PurrRN replied to waterlily's topic in General Students

    PurrRN replied to psidood's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From what I've ascertained from more experienced posters, 85 questions on the NCLEX-PN is the minimum amount of questions that you can get and that you can't predict by number whether you passed or...

    PurrRN replied to jdmdc2uner's topic in General Nursing

  10. Getting in shape before nursing shool?

    PurrRN replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you are thinking smart to think ahead. This first semester I've already put on about 12 or so lbs, just because of stress and lack of planning. When you are SOooo focused on the material...

  13. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    PurrRN replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Need online A&PII class and Microbiology class please help

    PurrRN replied to mzjferrd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with catzy5. I think most colleges (I could be wrong), but I think most require labs with all these. Now when I was taking Micro at my college, they did offer the lecture portion of Micro...

  16. PT/OT: 100% satisfaction Nursing: 75% satisfaction

    PurrRN replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Hhmmmm, interesting conclusion. And I'll concur that you are probably partially right (IMHO), however, consider how much customer satisfaction would go up if nurses had adequate staffing that...

  18. really embarassing situation... need advice.

    PurrRN replied to nurse_baby_yeah's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you. There have been some memorably humiliating times in my life that I still think about decades later. The most supportive thing I can say is that mortifying situations happen to alot...

  19. Help

    PurrRN replied to leeniebeanie_2767's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why don't you give us an example of what you have been writing, and lets go from there? Tips would be more forthcoming if the nurses could see what you have or have not been putting in your...

  20. The future of Nursing ?

    PurrRN replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oooohhh, good question. After having absorbed some of the infinite wisdom and experiences of the nurses on this site I have to wonder about this also. It seems that so much of the nurses time is...

  21. what's harder...AP1+2 or AP1+stat+speech

    PurrRN replied to lostinparadise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if all professors let you use notes (with the laws of probability, probably NOT)LOL. But mine did. Some formulas she let us use notes for and some not, but she always told us which ones...

  22. Wishing my life away...

    PurrRN replied to hlfpnt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So sorry to hear that this is happening to you. Just on the safe side though, I'd definitely start recording each and every interaction you have with this nurse. You never know when you might need...

    PurrRN replied to ebony2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  24. what's harder...AP1+2 or AP1+stat+speech

    PurrRN replied to lostinparadise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. what's harder...AP1+2 or AP1+stat+speech

    PurrRN replied to lostinparadise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first thought is, How is taking AP1 and AP2 at the same time even possible? AP2 BUILDS on the foundational knowledge of AP1, at least when I took it, it did. However, if your school is allowing...
