1. Failed nclex for the 3rd time.

   mnmcbm replied to jayjaybsnrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   HI! I am not sure what the cheapest remedial class would be. Or what exactly you mean by remedial class. Do you mean nclex prep course? I went through ATI which was a requirement for my school. I am...

2. I Passed NCLEX!!!

   mnmcbm posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I took the NCLEX on 3/13 and passed! My test stopped at 75 questions and I was pretty sure I failed. I literally guessed at every single answer on that test. It was very difficult. Way different than...

3. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

   mnmcbm replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

   I never wanted male docs. When I had my first two children I went to an all female OB/GYN practice. When I was pregnant with my third child I decided to go to a local highly recommended birth center...

4. What color is your uniform?

   mnmcbm replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

   Horrible white tops with logo and they zip up the front. Really awful. Burgundy pants. White shoes. Lab coats are optional in clinical but you must wear in lab. They can be any white lab coat but it...

6. Nursing Shoes

   mnmcbm replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   My favorite shoes are KLOGS brand. They are so comfy and they have clog style or non-clog style. But the main point for me is I have a bunion and they do not bother it at all. They are a little pricey...

7. HACC Nursing student

   mnmcbm replied to mnmcbm's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   I am already in clinicals. Just finished my first semester. It is very competitive getting in but I think that makes sense because it is a difficult program and if it was too easy to get in, there...

8. HACC Nursing student

   mnmcbm posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   Just thought I would take a minute to touch base with all of the incoming Lancaster nursing students. Before I started I had all sorts of questions and very few answers. Most of the posts I saw...

9. Will I be shunned?

   mnmcbm replied to studentgolfer's topic in General Students

   I do not think you will be shunned but don't discount a study group quite yet. I was always a solo learner as well but when I started nursing school, I hooked up with two classmates that I knew from...

10. Tell me about using your iPad for school

    mnmcbm replied to studentsara's topic in General Students

    That is really too bad. All of my text books, or I should say the main ones, med surg, OB, Principles of Nursing, etc. come with electronic versions. I still use my text books but I use the electronic...

11. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to be dedicated. If you really want it, you can do it. It is not easy but it is definitely doable if you set your mind to it. I swear I think that they try to make it as difficult as possible...

12. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are definitely not too old. In fact, you are probably about the average age of students at my

13. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! We did not have to take TEAS. But we were admitted based on our score. I think for my school, my semester the minimum score was 94.5 points. Some schools admit by lottery. I do not think...

14. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, so I am 44 and just finished my first semester of nursing school (clinical). For pre-nursing classes I had a binder, did flash cards, etc. But for the program, my school supplies us with bound...

15. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    mnmcbm replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you serious? I am not a smoker but come on, if you start taking away rights of people who are engaging in LEGAL activities, you are majorly infringing on their rights. It is no one's business what...
