  1. Jacksonville RN opportunities

    itsmyturn replied to RN2binjax's topic in Florida Nursing

    Florida is on a hiring freeze, not to mention a sue party. Make sure you purchase plenty of malpractice insurance. I have two friends that used to be full time but are now prn...they say it is not...

    itsmyturn replied to jezzie1977's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  3. Patients on the telephone

    itsmyturn replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

  7. Need your help - trying to change school policy

    itsmyturn replied to CrystalShip's topic in General Students

    I think that it should be higher than the percentages listed...I really don't want a nurse who only knew 81% of the material over someone who got in the 90 percentile. I do believe that you should...

  8. testing in 10 days and scoring only 75% on pre-tests

    itsmyturn replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My advice...remember that those tests are harder and 75% is good enough to help you pass. I was always told that if you could get above 60% you would most likely pass. Good

    itsmyturn replied to Zina345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    the reason i answered the question the way i did was because although there are a lot of validity to this poster's question, she left it for us to determine her motive. i am clean so therefore i...

    itsmyturn replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

  13. Instructor caused me to get an answer wrong on my exam, and I'm furious !

    itsmyturn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    It's all good and remember when you come into a nursing board and ask if anyone else has ever dealt with this you are opening yourself up to many opinions. So, I see no reason for you to vent on the...

  14. Chemistry grade C+ not good enough

    itsmyturn replied to minokismom's topic in General Students

    If your dream is to be a nurse, then stay where you are. Remember that you and only you know what you can handle. I failed three of my classes and here is what I was told: "What would you do if you...

  15. Instructor caused me to get an answer wrong on my exam, and I'm furious !

    itsmyturn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I think she was glancing, noticed the question mark and was testing your ability to think on your own. You can't blame her for second guessing yourself...you did that when you put the question mark...

  16. HELP! Is nursing really for me ??

    itsmyturn replied to uncgstudnur's topic in General Students

    itsmyturn replied to dblpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I didn't get more money but it did help me get a job. I know how to do the CNA skills I learned but the hospital I work in utilizes nursing assistants so we never have to do those skills. I do...
