  1. Testing help please!! (reading vs.practice tests)

    AZMOMO2 replied to samera's topic in General Students

    I found it helpful to get this book HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination... they have one for PN too. It has an overview of the systems and practice questions. It condensed the...

    AZMOMO2 replied to AngelofSeduction's topic in General Students

  3. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    AZMOMO2 replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    First semester is all about being on time ALWAYS. One instructor knows who you are after the very first day and trust me they know if you are a minute late. Expect pop quizzes almost every lecture day...

  4. Nursing School Not For Me

    AZMOMO2 replied to daniellevw's topic in General Students

    Get out while its still early. Believe me I have thought about it myself a few times too. Every thought of Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy or Social Work. Lots of your pre and co reqs are...

  5. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    AZMOMO2 replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No sense worrying about rating them anyway... you don't get a choice who you get throughout the program and when. First semester teachers are pretty much the toughest ones but they were all really...

  6. Does completing your prerequisites at 3 different community colleges look bad?

    AZMOMO2 replied to nornelas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope doesn't look bad. It looks productive. All that matters are your final grades! Some of us need to take classes where those classes are available. Some of the prereqs have waitlists themselves....

  7. I hate chemistry!

    AZMOMO2 replied to JennyNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Brand new Nurse in charge of Veteran CNAs

    AZMOMO2 replied to beatrice1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Best advise never let them know you are a "new" nurse. Have confidence. You have certain things that they are expected to help with period. Try and help as much as you can, don't for instance call...

  9. Help to pass the Nclex pn for 4th time.

    AZMOMO2 replied to NSG2212's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. New grad nights in birthing center

    AZMOMO2 replied to belle005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well since most babies seem to want to be born late at night or in the early morning hours, unlike most other floors, OB is usually staffed very well with support including Docs and

  13. Giving notice on my shift??

    AZMOMO2 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that should be fine. Most people don't usually make a special trip in unless they are not working for awhile and want their "notice" to include all days not just

  14. Speedy med pass

    AZMOMO2 replied to sbostonRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Some people who do too speedy of a med pass are NOT doing to correctly... do not forget that. I worked somewhere where the other med nurse was done with 20 residents by 8 am after starting at 7....

  15. Tired of Pre-Reqs

    AZMOMO2 replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amen! I am sooo tired of General Ed requirements and the further along the track I get they just keep popping up. Some for LPN, some for RN/ADN, some for BSN, some for MSN... heck they just keep...

  16. quitting while i'm ahead

    AZMOMO2 replied to amber_bsc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck Amber because Nursing School is all about doing things in front of people. You have skills check off in lab and skill assessments in clinicals. Not to mention the hovering family members and...

  17. Gateway CC experience?

    AZMOMO2 replied to B's mama's topic in Arizona Nursing

    With pass rates at 100% for the NCLEX-PN, I'd say the program is very good. There is a wait everywhere now. As with any Nursing school there are issues, conflicts, and personalities that you have to...

  18. Drug tested and scared

    AZMOMO2 replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    Would it be the specific narc that was missing that they would be testing for? If by chance it came up positive for simply opiates related to the Tea, then wouldn't they have to test further to...

  19. Should I stop @ lpn or go on and get my rn?

    AZMOMO2 replied to toshaann5's topic in LPN to RN

    Most hospitals are not hiring LPNs at all these days. So if that is your goal you need at least an RN. However, most hospitals these days are also wanting BSN prepared RNs above and beyond

    AZMOMO2 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN to RN

    I currently work 2030-0630 M-Thur... I will be able to float those days and adjust the hours as needed to fit in with school as needed. I am very lucky there. I have one pre-req left Micro which I...

    AZMOMO2 replied to AZMOMO2's topic in LPN to RN

    I have a job waiting for me when I get my RN that comes with a $10 an hour pay raise so I am not worried about that. The problem is that it is NOT my dream job soooo... I will be applying else where...

  23. Bored to death at work

    AZMOMO2 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I could have written this same post! However, it pays well and it allows for school. Keep plugging along ... you could always try and pick up a few PRN positions like 1 or 2 a month at a

  24. Spoke with the manager and feeling less confident with care..

    AZMOMO2 replied to sn543's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is never enough time. Sometimes I would get out on time and sometimes I would not. After a year it was the same thing. Usually it was because there is just so much charting to do and so many...
