  1. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Lstcats replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It is unfortunate:cry: but maybe better in the long run for them to fail out of school. I know of schools where the nursing student NCLEX pass rate is 60-70%. So, what did that school do wrong? Why...

  2. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Lstcats replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Talbrecht, I think you should find another nursing school. You seem so unhappy. Please know that your experience is not equal to that of all colleges in the US. You shouldn't make blanket statements...

  4. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Lstcats replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    yes, so agree that an instructor is responsible for the learning process and fails if they don't "teach" a student but that is not the case with me. i spend after hours with students who aren't making...

  5. Any Tampa Bay instructors out there?

    Lstcats posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am wondering if anyone lives and works in the Tampa Bay area (St. Pete up to say NPort Richey). I am hoping to relocate in the next year or so to Florida. I don't have my MSN so am really limited...

  6. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Lstcats replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    :twocents:I agree with your first point, especially. A student that fails is the Instructor's failure, as much or more than the Student's. :flmngmd: I can't believe that you just said this. Did I...

  8. Well the local nursing schools have FINALLY DONE IT

    Lstcats replied to nurz2be's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am surprised that Florida will allow a "GN" to work. In MA, you have to pass your NCLEX and be a RN or LPN before you have any type of nursing job. Otherwise, if you are a CNA then you can work as a...

    Lstcats replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    GREAT pic. Oh, how I wish I was there right this minute compared to 40 degrees and cloudy. Why do people complain about the construction in FL? It is a great thing. We have terrible roads in and...

  17. Mass Bay current Students or Alum?

    Lstcats replied to pristock230's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have taught clinicals at Mass Bay as well as two other state institutions. Mass Bay far surpasses the others I worked at. I am very impressed w/ what the nursing program does for their students and...

  19. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    Lstcats replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you reread my statement I did not say that NY people "pride" themselves on being angry. I said that Bostonians do and that it is a statement on a tv station in their commercial. WBZ TV channel 4 in...

  20. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    Lstcats replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am horrified about what I read that people plot murder. I think that is a very broad statement to make:down:. Maybe you came across one person who did this. I can't imagine that you would think...

    Your enthusiasm is awesome. God will provide for you. As for the NCLEX book I'm not sure but I know that Mosby puts out pretty good NCLEX. I just have PN at home for my students...oh that is right you...

    Do you do the exercises in the workbook? I always tell the students to do ALL of them. The questions should be similar in context and the material in the workbook from the readings. The more questions...

    Lstcats replied to nurseebol's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You must go to a good school that does all that for you. I spoke w/ my advisor who was no help and said just talk to financial aid. She didn't give me any hope or real advice. If they want me to go to...
