I'm with you, I would much rather sit by someone who is clipping their nails than sit near someone who just took a smoke break and reeks like an ashtray

Honestly I think it would be hard to have a day off during the week. Adjusters, claimants, and employers are going to expect to be able to reach you everyday. Field requires you to go to all MD appts, you can't tell an injured worker they cannot see ...

Sorry but I think you need to start looking for another job. What you did was unacceptable and I am actually surprised you were not let go when it happened. Her behavior was wrong and I am not defending her but cussing and name calling is very unprof...

I am in a different position now, but when I was doing interviews appearance did matter, as did smells. Smelling strongly of cigarettes, day old alcohol, or severe body odor would really bother me. I feel like the last thing a patient needs when they...

Hi, I have been working as a case manager for both personal and work related injuries at a large automotive factory. There are several other case managers but they are not to forthcoming with help, tips, etc. This is my first case manager job,(passe...

I am thinking about taking a student loan from Wells Fargo, seems they are one of the few that will loan money for living expenses while you are in nursing school. I have seen a few complaints about their customer service, one person even said they c...

thanks pers! i just used that site, subscription addiction and ordered nursing made easy and AJN for $20 using the coupon code MOM15PER

No, I freaking hate it! If I had it to do all over again I would have not gone into nursing, and I advise anyone thinking about it to not do it. People say they go into nursing to help people but the truth is we get so little time with out patients ...

Relax. I took NCLEX on Sat, it was not bad at all. All of my classmates so far have agreed that it was about the same as our normal exams in school. I only had two math questions. The instructions said to give the answer in a whole number. I agree wi...

I took mine on Sat, passed with 75 questions. I had two math questions, I cannot remember if my last ? was math or not. I had about 25 select all that apply and about 25 drug questions. I did not think it was that bad, for the most part easier than m...

I cannot afford the $300 review, but I did buy the review book, and bought the sprial bound book that is used in the live course off amazon. I LOVE Marlene so far, and am so sad I do not have the $300 I keep reading that the "Hurst way" or the "Mar...

thanks for the replies. I would really like to hear from someone who took the Hurst review, it really seems from the way it is mentioned in the books that there might more to it that just mental fatique. It seems like it could be a specific strategy ...

thank you!!

She was always so helpful, and so knowledgeable. She will be greatly missed.

I plan to take NCLEX just doing review books, but if I am not successful then I will do Hurst review which is $300

This fall my nursing classes are back to back with no way I could return to the car between classes. At the very minimum I will need to carry 6 textbooks, plus notebooks, lunch, etc with me. I hate wheeled backpacks but am definately going to have to...

Don't quit. Your last semester usually includes preceptorship, where you work one on one with a nurse and you are pretty much given your own patient load.

From what I have experienced nursing tests get harder and harder because they build on the material you learned on the last test. You may be in your last semester and a test question will include something you should have learned from second semester...

Please if you are going into the medical field NEVER call it and "old people place" it makes you sound so unprofessional. Especially if you were talking to anyone in a nursing admission office, no matter what your GPA is, you say old people place and...

yes, I graduate in 3 weeks and I worked a full time job and a part time job throughout the entire program, am a single mom, so I also have all the household duties and running my daughter to and from her activities and I have made mostly A's with an ...

One option is taking your boards in another state, a compact state that does not require you to do the 120 hours.

I bought mine on ebay for $5.00 it had all the images from books 1 and 2 here is the seller: .ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280471048416&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Do NCLEX questions, lots and lots of NCLEX questions. Also HESI has a review book you can order from their site. HESI is a predictor of wether or not you will pass NCLEX, the reason schools use it as an exit exam is so that they can keep their accre...

I was a student there on Wendel 4, I really liked it and looked into working there, the pay is really bad, almost like CMA pay.

I just passed HESI last week. I did NCLEX questions, I did at least 100 a day for the week before HESI. I used any source I could find of NCLEX questions, NCLEX 3500, books, websites,etc. I think Saunders is probably the best review book. If you had ...
