This is a little long .... I reentered a program for the last two classes I need to graduate for my RN. I need to only complete the last 16 weeks then I can graduate. Problem is I have a nursing lab preceptor that I had difficulty with during my prev...

I graduated May 12th, 2007. I have just finished up orientation where I work on the Med-Surg floor. I sat down with my DON and preceptor to go over my review and was floored. When I started I was told that I would have 1 of 2 preceptors that were on ...

I didn't take a NCLEX review course. Graduated on the 12th of May went on vacation then boards on the 30th. I passed with 136 questions. I know my way doesn't work for everyone but the ability to "test" the way NCLEX wants you to is over half the ...

No I graduated in Illinois. I have been told that Illinois has alot of red tape to go through in order to get your ATT. I haven't had a problem with that. Now I am just waiting and praying for my results. Good luck! Hope you get the ATT soon.

Graduated May 12th-applications sent in on 14th-received ATT on the 19th-tested on the 30th. We had a small class maybe that's your hold-up.

Nursing school is hard work in and of itself without the extra pressure of attitudes. That being said it will be a very difficult fight no matter if you are right. The PTB that have the person in position have the instructor there for a reason. My...

Not to start a fight but how do you have time to check up on another nurse and berate her skills if you are doing your job? I know that when I work I do not have the time, energy, or ranking to check up on what everyone else is doing. MVI are stock a...

What would be the point? All that time and energy spent for retribution when the energy could be spent studying and deciding if nursing is really for you. Not a harsh comment only the truth. It's a hard education but an even harder job. What happens ...

Let me start by saying I have been nurse for 5 years, the nurse I am speaking of has been once since Nov. 06. She replaced me the other evening at 2:30pm but I thought I would be nice and help with the 2 new admissions she had received. BOY I GOT SHA...

Thank you to all that have responded...here's the end of the story. I was called to the "principal's" office today to sit across the table from the nurse that accused me of abusing a resident:nono: . I already was in the office bright and early with ...

You are moving to my "home" area. Although I reside in Illinois now I grew up not to far from Rolla. There is a University of Missouri school in Rolla. I graduated from Columbia. I have been in the Phelps county region and believe they receive go...

Even though we are told not to many of us bring our personal problems to work. I have been a nurse for many years and it seems that I have stellar CNA/helpers but then others are just plain worthless. I have one that spends her time looking for the...

I believe your husband offers a valid point. As a nurse of a few years and many different experiences there are days I would chuck it to work drive-thru. But you hang in there and something small (i.e. a simple smile from a child to a heartfelt thank...

I am a MDS coordinator/charge nurse at a long term facility. I write care-plans, conduct assts, etc. to turn into state so that the facility can be paid. We have a regular floor in our place plus an enclosed alzheimer's unit. Over the unit there i...

Thank you for your kind words and advice. I have documented and am looking for another job as we speak. Just wondering if there is ramification for her practicing outside her scope?

I understand your frustration and heartache. At least you are one step ahead of the rest of your family in seeing that Grams is not appropriate for home care any longer. She will adjust to wherever she is placed as long as it is done with compassio...

Great for him! Do you do all the household chores (i.e. cooking, cleaning, kids, etc.)? Just wondering because most folks in the nursing programs feel that nursing school is one of the hardest things they will ever do. What you have to understand is ...
