  2. When will I get the actual licence???

    LeesieBug replied to AmyD_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It all depends on how fast your school works to get your paperwork in. I have known poeple who got an ATT within days after graduation....then there's me and my four weeks...still

  3. When will I get the actual licence???

    LeesieBug replied to AmyD_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's great to hear! My school has held things up quite a bit (graduated FOUR weeks ago and they STILL have not sent certificate of completeion to board...so still no ATT). At least I know once they...

  6. Kaplan, yay or nay?!?!

    LeesieBug replied to GrnHonu99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Our school offered a review class that would have cost 400 bucks, but we got it FREE (read as, "included in our tuition already":rolleyes:). I suffered through a day and a half of a woman with the...

  7. Anyone not feel freaked after nclex?

    LeesieBug replied to KristiePDX's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't worry....I have run into at least five nurses lately who recently took NCLEX and said it was "easy". Not everyone feels bad about it after they take

  8. Cleveland/Akron areas

    LeesieBug replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Ohio Nursing

    University of Akron is a good choice for a school....They've been kicking butt, revamping the program, and their reputation has steadily increased. They are up to a 94-ish% pass rate for the NCLEX....

  9. must you pass NCLEX first?

    LeesieBug replied to jb2u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In OH we have to pass the NCLEX first. Considering how fast things move now, this is no problem. You can be tested and working in as little as two weeks, depending on how fast your school gets your...

    LeesieBug replied to summersbreeze's topic in First Year After Licensure

  11. So how much do you owe?

    LeesieBug replied to Butterfly3001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Graduating this week...my final tally is $30,000. My payment is going to be $329 a month. With the vast increase in income my family is about to get, that's peanuts. I am a happy camper! This is the...

  12. Confused!

    LeesieBug replied to m357t's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We were taught to let them continue, and to plan time into their schedule to allow them to complete their rituals (unless someone is causing themselves physical harm, of course). Don't know what...

  13. Clincials in nursing school

    LeesieBug replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    After our first sesmester, we did 12 hr clinical days. At first it was horrendous, but we got used to them...even if we don't necessarily LIKE them . The total clinical time in our program is about...

  14. Like some input on pins for ceremony

    LeesieBug replied to RNsRWe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We MUST have the school's pin to be pinned....either purchase one, or borrow one. I really don't care what it looks like, I want my school's pin. As someone above mentioned, to me that is the whole...

  16. Pinning Ceremony Attire

    LeesieBug replied to EmilyCCRN's topic in General Students

  17. Ability to get job with no prior experience?

    LeesieBug replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Nursing Career

    It was not realistic for me to work during school. It would not have been good for me, my education, my kids, or my employer because I would have been spreading myself too thin. Not working during...

  18. In Her Shoes - Interesting Observation

    LeesieBug replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

  19. What is that smell?

    LeesieBug replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    This made me laugh..... I am the proud mom of two smelly fifteen-year-olds who SHARE a room....double whammy! I went in their room a few weeks ago, and it was particularly bad. I sniffed around a...

    LeesieBug replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Posted in another forum... no response...please answer

    LeesieBug replied to crb613's topic in General Nursing

    Ok...I can't resist....You use therapeutic communication of course! You look at them with that cheesy expression, like they have in all the videos you watch at school, cock your head to one side,...

  22. Gave my first heparin shot wrong, had a horrible clinicle day!!

    LeesieBug replied to CrystalClear75's topic in General Students

    I agree with the advice here, best way to get the info you need is to look it up yourself.... However, shame on that instructor! Whenever we do a skill for the first time in clinical, the instructors...

  23. Does a PDA really help?

    LeesieBug replied to DisneyNurse18's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I adore mine...worth every dang penny, only wish I could have afforded one sooner. I have a bundle called Nursing Central 2.1. I LOVE it so much, I don't even stop to wonder if I could have gotten...
