This is a really interesting topic. I agree 100% with other posters that terminal patients receive their pain meds without question. However, I'm a new grad, and in four weeks on the floor, I've...
I have just finished an ADN program, which for the most part has given me good experience. As for my wish list: 1) Decent testing - well-written tests that truly test my knowledge, and don't just...
Once the board of nursing approved our applications - about 2-3 weeks after graduation ( can be quicker if the transcripts and all are sent expeditiously), it took Pearson one week to send me my ATT....

Thanks I'm feeling very satisfied to finish a gruelling two years! State is Virginia, and all the papers were submitted about 5 weeks ago with only transcripts pending. Our head instructor promised...
I have a question for people who have recently taken the NCLEX or received their ATT. How long did you have to wait after graduation before you received your authorization to test? I just graduated...
Nicely put. It's tough going and a lot of mumbo-jumbo. What they seem to be doing in nursing is taking a lot of hands-on practical material and turning it into a college ed. Unfortunately,...
Roland, I know nothing about your personal life or relationship with your family. I'm currently in my last semester of nursing, having several prior years of higher education, including my degree...
I don't have any nursing school phrases off the tip of my tongue, but scores of anecdotes concerning *****y lecturing and factless testing, masquerading as science. I'll be listening with a critical...
