  1. nclex dazed, need help

    Tony35NYC replied to tachee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What you mean when you said you recently passed the local nursing board? And if you recently passed it why are you planning to take it again? Are you by any chance outside the US? The NCLEX is what...

  2. Doctors who dont listen or dont care

    Tony35NYC replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Seriously, I fear for some of these physicians, the ones who refuse to give up the 19th century thinking that healthcare revolves around them and their title. I'm never disrespectful to any of them,...

  3. Saunders, Mosby CAT, Lippincott, Kaplan etc Scores

    Tony35NYC replied to Lauree1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did ok with the Saunders questions, scored in the high 80s and mostly 90s in terms of percentage. At first I was not passing any of the Kaplan tests, which was very frustrating. Every time I went...

  4. Associates degrees in Nursing before CRNA

    Tony35NYC replied to MBrickle's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The OP stated in her post that she has hasn't had any success finding the type of accelerated BSN programs in her state that you are describing, whereas a candidate with a bachelors degree in any...

  5. Saunders, Mosby CAT, Lippincott, Kaplan etc Scores

    Tony35NYC replied to Lauree1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I was prepping for NCLEX I used all of them. Mosby and Lippincott are excellent study tools for nursing school exams but when it comes to prepping for NCLEX the best ones are Kaplan and...

  6. Associates degrees in Nursing before CRNA

    Tony35NYC replied to MBrickle's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You're asking about fast tracking through a BSN degree. I doubt you can do that if you're not already an RN with an associates degree. Your bachelors degree in environmental science probably included...

  7. Groped on the job...

    Tony35NYC posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not sure if I should even be posting this on here, but just wanted to vent. I am a recent graduate in the middle of my preceptorship on a CVICU stepdown unit. I like the unit that I'm working on....

  8. Is professor homophobic or just tough?

    Tony35NYC replied to RISC601's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If I were you I would not assume anything about this instructor. Most nursing instructors are real tough, and thats not necessarily a bad thing if it makes you a better student and, ultimately, a...

  9. Physician bullying/sarcastic comments to nursing staff

    Tony35NYC replied to carachel2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't work in the ER, but I do believe there are at least a couple of those nasty MDs/DOs in most hospitals. There are a few of them who are regularly in our critical care units---and I do mean some...

  10. Condescending nurses

    Tony35NYC posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got into it with two nurses at work today and I'm wondering if I was wrong to handle the situation the way I did. I'm not an RN, but I work as an intern at a hospital that recruits BSN candidates...

  11. Im Pretty Sure I Failed Again.

    Tony35NYC replied to ocb_dave_ocb's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dave, I admire your attitude and I'm glad to know you plan to take the test again. Perhaps it would be helpful to think about how you are preparing for the test before you go further. From your posts,...

  12. Failing the NCLEX at 77 Questions

    Tony35NYC replied to CarolineRn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I like the CAT because, unlike the old paper and pencil testing format, the CAT is designed to help you pass. Fifteen of the questions are not scored, which increases the odds in your favor. At the...

  13. Suzanne's 6-week Program With Saunders's Cd

    Tony35NYC replied to Cntw82BanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    100 questions a day is plenty. Even if you have only two weeks to review for the exam, if you do 100 each day thats more than enough. I believe that anything more than that would be too much....

  14. Gay Nurses... help!

    Tony35NYC replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    To the OP, It appears you are very concerned what your coworkers and patients think about you because you obviously are a social and friendly person. However, your private life is really none of...

  15. Groped on the job...

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    I came back to this post to thank everyone for their input and the encouragement. I decided to let this incident go because it became obvious that nothing would ever become of it, and to be honest I'm...

  16. Saunders is making me mad

    Tony35NYC replied to HisHands's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The Saunders' rationale is incorrect. How the Good Samaritan Act is applied and interpreted varies from state to state so this is a question that you will probably never seen on the NCLEX. I would...

  17. Result are in...

    Tony35NYC replied to brnsugar61's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since you already have the Saunders study materials I suggest you get hooked up with Suzanne. She uses Saunders with her students and she said they do well on the exam. Maybe she can help you,

  18. Saunders vs Kaplan

    Tony35NYC replied to Drmy4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Although I agree that Saunders is an excellent NCLEX prep resource, its debatable that it is the best. I used both Saunders and Kaplan, and they are both good. I feel though that the Kaplan Qbank...

  19. No alternate or math questions?

    Tony35NYC replied to Runrgrl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't get any math or alternate questions on my exam either. In fact, I don't remember it being a lot of questions in any one area because the topics were from all over the place. I felt like most...

  20. 3 time failed!

    Tony35NYC replied to outdoneflorida's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do the remedial course, then take a prep class (preferably Kaplan if you can afford it.) The fact that you didn't pass after 3 tries doesn't mean you don't know nursing content, but it probably means...

  21. Please explain respondeat superior

    Tony35NYC posted a topic in Legal

    ...and how it differs from corporate liability. I was reviewing some legal nursing material and it says that corporate liability applies if a hospital's policy re budget, staff, and client population...

  22. Groped on the job...

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    To Teeituptom, this is not about gay or straight; its about a sleazy and pathetic individual who tried to pull a fast one. He'd probably try the same thing on a female if he thought he could get away...

  23. Nasty medical students

    Tony35NYC posted a topic in General Nursing

    We have a number of them on our floor since the past few weeks, and we can't wait for them to leave. Their clinical instructor is an abomination. She is very rude and disrespectful to the floor staff,...

  24. From a Graduate RN to CNA/UAP

    Tony35NYC replied to mye614's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You know, its always a good thing to listen to other people's perspectives. After reading what nursebear and molichick wrote about working as a CNA and studying for the NCLEX I now concur with their...

  25. Dosage Calculations - pt Factor ?

    Tony35NYC replied to mauser's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've never heard of the term "patient factor". Sounds like a hifalootin' way of saying 'flow rate' to me. Since your medication is available in mls, its logical to assume that what they want to know...
