I took nclex today and while I do not know if I passed yet I got the good pearson vue pop up and it shut off with 75 questions. Kaplan looked just like nclex!!!! I have been working as a GN on a labor and delivery floor and wasn't able to finish q tr...

Just thought I would give a little update... This past week was my first week and we did epic training and other basic power point class learning. Pretty similar to what you described. Next week is my first week on the floor and I was placed at... ST...

Ok maybe with the down fall of the economy currently there is not as much of a shortage. I am from an area where many hospitals always have RN openings. I already have a job prior to graduation. But according to my management text which is based on t...

Looking back through this thread surprises me how many nurses state that teaching students is not "part of their job" come on now, there is a nursing shortage and we all might need someone to care for us one day. I'd rather teach a student as much as...

Yeah, I will keep you guys updated but they must have decided to run another class of futures in January for us December grads. I'm not sure if people were unhappy with placement and left when they didn't get the area they wanted so they changed thei...

I am starting the futures program January 16th so I guess they aren't just doing it twice a year. I graduate December 17th. I completed the phone interview and then I interviewed for an OB position. They had separate interviews for different specialt...

I'm in my last semester and we have to pass HESI to pass nursing school.

I'm a student nurse about to graduate in December! Anyways I know there are some girls in my clinical group that have that I-know-everything attitude. One girl in my group said the tech told her that the patient really needed a bath and she replied, ...

Most people I work with do not smoke.You may not want to make it awkward by confronting this CNA but patient safety and care is being compromised. It's just that not only is it not fair for the none smokers to have to pick up the slack when they are ...

ok. I dont think he should have to help you out but if he is offering then I would except. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 and a half years and have not been working just focusing on school full time. I look at it like this, we plan on getting ma...

I am going to be starting the nursing program next year. My friends who I plan on living with also got in. Today at lunch one of the girls who has been struggling with Anatomy and Physiology 1 was talking to the adviser about retaking the class in th...

i kind of think this cna is doing this because you are new maybe? Still very wrong.

yes i am taking A&P 1 this summer and Microbiology. umm yeah this should be interesting. I think though since I HAVE to (at least) pass that is more motivation. good luck everyone

he does sound like a typical 'guy'. It won't last long I'm sure he will break down eventually and I think you will be the one he will cry too and then after a while you can start to talk about good memories. that kind of helps. my boyfriend's grandpa...

I am sorry to hear about that news but really there is not much you can do except just be there for him. I know sometimes men think they need to hold in their feelings and not cry but I'm sure he is hurting. All I can say is just be his shoulder try ...

I just recently joined this site and think it is really awesome, but until now can I officially say that I am a nursing student. I was accepted into Southern Illinois University Edwardsville nursing program and it is such a big relief. I know I will ...

I'm in Edwardsville at SIUE.

I am a nursing student and i completely agree with you. However I have noticed that since i am in school for nursing everyone comes to me with their health questions and i'm like i don't know and then i feel like i should know. But I would never try ...

everyone on here says that parents should have the option to teach their children about sex the way the want to. this sounds like a great idea except it isnt happening parents! When i was in high school (a school of 2300 students) I did a survey and ...

Sex Ed needs to be taught in schools! And for those parents who say well i sent my children to this person who talked about abstinence and i told them about STDs. It doesn't matter!!! I am warning you. I to went to see a Miss Missouri promoting true ...

I did report her and she got a write up. I'm glad that everyone thinks I made the right decision. I was just so mad when my mom was actually sticking up for the nurse saying , "maybe she was just having a bad day" sometimes i think everyone does thi...

Not to long ago my sister was in the hospital for a terrible spinal headache. While getting her 3rd IV (the others weren't in right) she started crying the nurse called her a wimp and told her suck it up and that she should have know she would be in ...

I agree that some people out there may have taken out student loans and spent their money on something else like expensive things. I am finishing up my first second semester. I am 19 and will have to take out many student loans in order to get my deg...
