  1. Excelsior College Newbie

    suzi-Q replied to lsilva7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    suzi-Q replied to keepmovingrn's topic in Excelsior College

    I can help with one thing! Set aside four and one half to five hours, sit down, and knock off Information Literacy. I did it in four and a half hours with two small breaks. It can be done. My advisor...

    suzi-Q posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone taken the entry exam for an LPN program? Is it anything I need to worry about? Is it just to weed out the low performers? I am bright and was a good student (above average, at least). My...

    suzi-Q replied to zmealey's topic in Online Distance Learning

  12. Critical thinking in the NCLEX exam will go a long way!

    suzi-Q replied to JBET's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Use the Kaplan books. They give wonderful strategies. Although learning them is a whole other "learning process" added on to all your nursing knowledge. Give it a shot and good

  14. ATI EXIT EXAM

    suzi-Q replied to gjsotero's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I took it and did well. It was long though, but I hate sitting for long periods. It is a good predictor of how you will do on the NCLEX so pay attention to your results. Your teachers have prepared...

    suzi-Q replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

    I understand...My sister in-law is an RN and I got not one shred of advice, encouragment, or help from her. So I was even more determined to show her I was gonna be just fine without her!!! You can do...

    suzi-Q replied to kayjay5478's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    suzi-Q replied to lvmama's topic in General Nursing

    Essential oils are great! I found this spray by a company called Young Living called Theives. It's made with real cinnamon and clove. Very strong and covers up almost everything. It is supposed to be...

    suzi-Q replied to lvmama's topic in General Nursing

    I keep a very small, thin tin of vicks in my pocket. It's very discreet. Sometimes you can get lucky and it comes in a sample package like this. The baby vicks with lavendar is nice and then you don't...

  23. What do you want to tell Nursing Students?

    suzi-Q replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I have had many "reincarnations" as far as careers go and I can sum this all up very simply... IN ALL THINGS, SHOW INITIATIVE! It is always admired and always rewarded.

  24. The long term effects of being fired

    suzi-Q replied to Poochee's topic in General Nursing

    I was "allowed to leave" or have some untrue things put in my file. I left. Not a traditional firing but for what it has done to me it might as well have been. It has taken a long time to get over it....
