    NCLEX-RN - 265 questions - PVT

    itsnowornever replied to fayettevilleflo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Posting a percentage is totally misleading. There is no "percentage" of right or wrong, you have to get more right than wrong and that's how the computer tells. It's a complex algorithm that really no...

    misspinkmeow---I have contacted the EMT people in CA and yes, you can challenge the EMT qual, but not until you have your RN license...dont know what good that does a person though!

    Should I talk to NM/DON about co-worker

    itsnowornever replied to GenYgrrrreatnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Totally agree with this. I second keeping a personal journal. If she is the type of person you are saying she is, then I would start documenting things. If it wasn't her patient (a) why was she in...

    HIPAA and Correctional Officers

    itsnowornever replied to Neats's topic in Correctional

    Do you watch the inmates swallow their pills? Because of HIPPA that's probably the best you can do...watch them swallow and then check their mouths to make sure it went down. Not that I have...

    Nursing school with kids??

    itsnowornever replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    I truly believe that most things are doable as long as you are organized. I caution you though---do NOT use your children as an excuse for not being able to do work/group work. I have two kids who...

    Is taking 3 science classes insane?

    itsnowornever replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bio and Micro can compliment eachother if the professors have talked before teaching the class. I found Chem to be more math based than anything. If you are a C sometimes B student you have a lot of...

    Bedside manners

    Brandon---your post just made LTC look all that much more appealing! I love joking with and teasing my patients! Having humor with patients makes your day and theirs brighter and more

    itsnowornever replied to CallieNM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The type of degree you are talking about is a BACHELORS unrelated to science transitioning into a BSN degree. An Associates in whatever will not transfer to a BSN unless it's an ADN that you

    Not in new grad - what options now?

    itsnowornever replied to canned_bread's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Why would they penalize you for graduating early, unless you didn't take all of your classes? A new grad is a new grad. And yes, sometimes you have to "pay your dues" and work LTC and gain experience....

    What EXACTLY is a care plan?

    itsnowornever replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    It has gotten to the point that I can do a care plan in my sleep. I was told that the reason for the care plan is so that students who can't critically think in their head quickly, can lay it out on...

    Is your program this way?

    itsnowornever replied to fitzy5's topic in General Students

    I have to say that I have NEVER had this happen to me and I was far from the "tuck and roll" type of student. I was the one that was into other nurse's business, doing everything I could for everyone...

    Im scared out of my mind for Anatomy

    itsnowornever replied to NurseLizzy13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with this too! Pre-reqs in general be they micro, biochem or patho are a cake walk with tests that have straight forward answers. Every test and class in pre-reqs got me a simple...

    Im scared out of my mind for Anatomy

    itsnowornever replied to NurseLizzy13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't find either class so difficult, however, I will say that memorize it all and stick it all in your head. If you can pull off an A and maintain the information nursing classes will be that much...

    itsnowornever replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Actually nursel56, she did attack all students and thought it was rather funny that we got our feathers ruffled. I'm assuming she would be one of the screamers if a new nurse came on here and attacked...

    Affordable CNA Course?!

    Most courses that I've seen take about 6 weeks...so I think you are starting a bit late. Check the local adult education at the highschools or the local community
