    Should all nursing students be required to be a CNA for one year?

    LadyT618 replied to SophieMae's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is necessary for students to be a CNA, neither do I think it should be required by law, prior to entering nursing school. If you cannot learn the basics that are taught in Fundamental...

    Dosage Calculation

    LadyT618 replied to Kristy_joyz's topic in General Students

    Both could be the answer, depending on the figures you use. If you use 8mg, the answer is 1.25. If you use gr 1/8, which is really 7.5mg, the answer is 1.33. The book made the mistake of putting "8mg...

    LadyT618 replied to MelRN80's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In school, we were taught both ADPIE and ADOPIE, but mostly ADPIE, since that's the universal thing used. The O stands for Outcome Identification. According to the ANA Standards of Clinical Nursing...

    failed three times..........

    LadyT618 replied to MelRN80's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since the exam is national and not really state-based, I think the rules apply all around. You are allowed to take the NCLEX up to 8 times in a year and I believe that equals to 45 days between each...

    Interviews at Stony Brook & North Shore

    LadyT618 replied to DC2RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I would recommend North Shore, since it is a Magnet Hospital, and I currently work as a nurse tech at a magnet in NYC. It is truly different from a non-magnet hospital. I don't know too much about...

    All NY State ADN's and Students

    LadyT618 replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That stipulation only applies to people who get their ADNs AFTER this plan goes into effect. Not for people who get it before. Think of it this way....the plan will NOT be retroactive; and in this...

    If you will be a nursing student this fall, you will NOT be affected by it. I highly doubt this crap is going to take effect this summer. The Board of Regents must approve it first. As long as you...

    NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    LadyT618 replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
