    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Amysuenu's topic in General Students

    test question!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Actually their was a change to NCLEX in April I think it was. Regardless though, this wasn't my instructor's approach. The lady that put this out there used to be involved with NCLEX and now tutors...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Here is everything that was said on the paper I was talking about in the particular section that was similar to this question. I am retyping it as is. (sorry for any typos) Again to clarify, we were...

    test question!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    It's 6 pages small print typing. The lady that wrote it used to do something with NCLEX, helped write questions or review on the board or something, I don't remember what her role was. Now she tutors...

    NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Mine isn't huge either. I think 1000-1300 graduating. That's about 950-1250 too much for me. LOL But like I said, it's really important to my dad so I will suck it up and do it. I am the first one of...

    NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Same here. I don't have a previous degree though and I am only going to the actual graduation for my Dad's sake. If it wasn't for it meaning so much to him I would skip the formal graduation and only...

    Looking for some feedback and/or ideas from Nurses

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to thank everyone again. We ended up doing our topic on going from Expressed Consent to Presumed consent, as is done very successfully in many other countries. Apparently we really...

    Thanks Summit for directing me here. I will be getting my RN from Front range which is an accredited school. I am only looking at CCR for the RN-BSN program. I talked to the gal today and she said...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    We just had a question on a test today that Contacting the physician was one of the answers. I got 100% on the test. Their are times that contacting the physician is the thing you need to do as the...

    That is how I felt when I read this paper my teacher gave me. LOL But in a way it makes sense, so when I go to take boards I will keep that in

    test question!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    That is exactly what the paper we were given stated. They said the NCLEX wants to know that if you could only pick one thing you would pick the right thing. In this case, if you could only pick one,...

    No Oncology Lecture ADN Program

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Charlotto's topic in General Nursing

    Oncology hasn't been a huge part of ours as well because it's a more specialized area and they are just wanted us to get a general understanding. That said, we have still had a little bit of it each...

    No worries, but can I go vent about it in another thread?

    test question!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Funny enough, my teacher just gave us a really insightful handout regarding taking nclex. It had a question almost identical to this one. They said if you're in school, you chose vitals. Because they...

    Graduating and feel unprepared!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to StudentNurzNK's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, I graduate May 7th too. Our final semester one of our classes is pretty much on the reality of being out of school. We go into various topics. Last week the instructor mentioned that we...

    No Oncology Lecture ADN Program

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Charlotto's topic in General Nursing

    Actually this could be really good. Instead of a brief overview of the cancers you will get an in depth view on many different types of cancers. I mean I feel it's odd that their won't be a lecture at...

    Irritating Classmates

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Well I am not a career changer, Pre Reqs and Nursing School are my first college experience and I was a stay at home mom for the past 11 years, but I still want a quality education

    Irritating Classmates

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I agree with this second part. I am an assertive person and I am not afraid to ask questions pertaining to the subject if I am unsure about something, or answer a question, and I could really care...

    Irritating Classmates

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I have no doubt that I probably annoy some people in my class. I welcome them to come vent about it here. Everyone deserves to vent and let off some steam. Better to do it here than to the person in a...

    My Patient Died

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to sandyfeet's topic in General Students

    I have had a few patients die and it was pretty hard. Before losing my brother recently those patients were probably the "closest" people I have had die. I like to get my patients stories and talk to...
