  2. Perhaps you don't need to stress over NCLEX

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

    Our school placed the drugs in the curriculum with the body systems they were common with. When I began studying for the nclex, that was the way they were in the book too. This really helped. I had...

  3. Clinical concerns

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

    I did clinicals in this nursing home that often heard the CNAs saying that although they wished that they could sit and talk there just was not enough time. They decided to recruit volunteers in the...

  4. Tips on mastering priority questions!!

    itsmyturn replied to learae08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The easiest way I find for myself is to use your ABC's and if that doesn't help then start working your way up Maslow's triangle. I have not have any trouble since looking at them this

  5. Tired of NS!!

    itsmyturn replied to ange26s's topic in General Students

    By the time I got done with school, most of my class and the teachers said "nice knowing you" and turned the opposite direction as we ended our last day. We were all so sick of the BS that goes along...

  6. A Personal Struggle

    itsmyturn replied to KalipsoRed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh my, you need a hug so bad right now! I wanted to say, you are a new nurse so put down that bat for now. It seems that those around you think your a peach because you are still there without...

  7. Clinical concerns

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

    And the real world comes into play, after years of caring and overworking for low pay without respect or acknowledgement of the time and effort you put forth to give these patients. Years later, it...

  8. Perhaps you don't need to stress over NCLEX

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

    Well, to each his own but when I took my NCLEX, I had several questions from the book on my test. I personally would rather continue my hard effort and save an extra $200 then not do anything. And,...

  10. Since when are nurse aides not supposed to AIDE the nurses??

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

    It wasn't about the nurse getting help from the CNA, it was about the family noting it and putting the facility on the spot. Looks like a DON should be redirecting her comments to those who are not...

    itsmyturn replied to egglady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  13. Did I do the right thing?

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

    My condolences on your loss. Circumstances in life often go unexplained and makes you wonder sometimes, but I believe that your brother is looking down on you and sending his love as you go through...

  18. My clinical instructor threw me out of clinical!

    itsmyturn replied to Nightbloom's topic in General Students

    I see this as a priority problem as well. Just because your a student doesn't mean that you have lack of resources to help you do your job. Rather than deal with a low priority skill on your list,...

    itsmyturn replied to SN09's topic in Psychiatric

    She may want to know what action did you or did you not do that left a mark on the patient you cared for. For instance, did you listen to the person and while you listened, did you offer them a...

  24. My Year of Lpn School

    itsmyturn replied to NursingLadyQuinn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The bad thing about LPN school is the amount of material you are forced to absorb in one sitting....I don't know how you 3-11pm people can manage to keep your grades up. I ended up studying 5-6 hrs a...
