    CBsMommy replied to Rita007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  2. Missed you all, took NCLEX, good pop-up!

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you Loops! Good luck on your studies and your

  3. Does RN-BSN programs have more "old" people???

    CBsMommy replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    If I were your age, I would also enter a BSN program directly. For me, personally, I chose to go the ADN route for a few reasons. 1. While I was working full-time, I was able to go for my...

  4. Ever lost a job offer because of your reference?

    CBsMommy replied to lily1289's topic in General Nursing

    A long time ago, before nursing even entered my mind, I had listed a past manager as a reference. There was nothing wrong with our relationship either during work or when I left. I worked my behind...

  5. Do you think about...

    CBsMommy replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I think about it all the time but not just at the hospital! EVERYWHERE! I think about it every time I use a public restroom and see people come out of a stall, with a toilet freshly flushed, and...

  6. Discouraged

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    You can do this! You've gone this far! There is no way that you are going to let a little test beat you now! Good

  7. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I am so glad I never half to see most of you again after the pinning ceremony next week! I am so glad I don't have to deal with you chatting with each other over the instructor who is in the middle of...

  8. I am DONE :)

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Congrats to you!!! It's been a long, hard fought road! I am finally finished too! My final grades just posted and I am officially a graduate nurse! Hasn't hit me yet

  9. Having a hard time opening up my book...

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    How did everyone do? Did we all make it? My final grade won't be posted until tomorrow because my teacher still hasn't graded the paper I handed in over 5 weeks ago. UGH! Once she does that, I just...

  10. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    CBsMommy replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    Please post my final grade on the paper I handed in over 5 weeks ago! You said that you would have it back to me early this week, tomorrow is Friday and still no grade! I would finally like to call...

  11. ATI Bare Naked! What do you want to know?

    CBsMommy replied to ggabri07's topic in General Students

    I don't like the ATI either. Some of the questions are poorly written and the practice tests don't give a good rationale as to why a person got a question wrong. BTW, I also have A's in my classes...

  12. Anyone else dealing with anxiety/emotional issues?

    CBsMommy replied to rntj's topic in General Nursing

    I have lived with anxiety my entire life. In fact, I didn't know any different until I became an adult and talked with friends about it, who told me it's not normal to feel the way I do. When I...

  13. dealing with an unprofessional clinical instructor

    CBsMommy replied to mjrysmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ah...the Clinical Instructors from H-E-Double hockey sticks. Yes, I know them well! With only 2 weeks left in this semester just do what you are doing, show up, smile, answer questions, stay out of...

  14. Five more weeks left in last semester....

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Good luck on your final exam, although it doesn't sound like you need it!

  15. Booted on a clinical failure. I have a chance to reenter, but should I?

    CBsMommy replied to CeCeInMI's topic in General Students

    I think it's great that you can reflect on this objectively and realize that you need help in a particular area! Kudos to you for that! I think getting a job as a CNA while you are waiting re-entry...

  16. Having a hard time opening up my book...

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    NurseLoveJoy - I am in the same boat! I am downstairs cleaning for my graduation party when I should be hitting the books! My final is also on Thursday and my exit exam is Wednesday night but I...

  17. New and not so new nurses..

    CBsMommy replied to UpinawayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had this same thing happen to me by a PT. It was no big deal and wouldn't have harmed a patient but she made it a big deal by blowing up on me in front of the family. It made it pretty hard to...

  18. Tell Me About Your Final Semester of Nursing School

    CBsMommy replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Our classes are broken into 6 weeks increments. Our first Med-Surg was a basic overview of the systems/diagnostic tests/etc. Our last two Med-Surg classes broke everything into systems. We went...

  19. Tell Me About Your Final Semester of Nursing School

    CBsMommy replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I second this! Our first 6 weeks are advanced, advanced Med-Surg, our last 6 weeks are leadership/transitions. Clinical has been more challenging, we are pushed to take a full load of patients and...

  20. Five more weeks left in last semester....

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    :monkeydance::clpty::dncgbby::dancgrp: Done! The scrubs are burned! The celebratory alcoholic beverages drunk! Nothing left to do now except go to bed tonight and sleep in tomorrow morning!

  21. Five more weeks left in last semester....

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Last day of clinicals EVER, today! I am almost there and starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel....finally! Last day of lecture is Thursday and then I take my final test in nursing school...

  22. Confused!

    CBsMommy posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been studying out of Saunders for a while now. I just took a Kaplan free test online and the questions are MUCH MUCH harder than Saunders and my nursing program. Is this just a gimmick to...

  23. Confused!

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks Glenna! I was able to get ahold of a Kaplan review test online for the NCLEX and the questions didn't seem that much different to me than the Saunders. Phew! I put myself into panic mode...

  24. Confused!

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nope. Nevermind! Sometimes I can be so dumb! I took a USMLE test instead of a nursing test. No wonder it was so hard.

  25. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Why is it that you are getting all of the credit for planning the pinning ceremony? I have: Reserved the space where we are having it, including all of the negotiating it took; coordinated all of the...
