    Wife is taking NCLEX RN exam for 4th time...

    strawberryluv replied to NurseHusband02's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When you fail the NCLEX, they give you a report to show you your weaknesses in the categories that you failed in. She should focus on what the report says and to direct her studying to that. Maybe,...

    strawberryluv replied to aw649's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Print out each patient's recent hospitalist note which summarizes their treatment. Also, get a brain sheet. Look up labs and nursing orders for your patients as soon as you get on the unit. Jot down...

    New Grad RN can't find a job

    strawberryluv replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If worse comes to worse, you could always drop $400-600 and hire a certified resume writer to professionally write a resume+cover letter. If you pick an experience resume writer, they might be able...

    I LIED to a professor

    strawberryluv replied to Peonies n posie's topic in General Students

    Don't say anything and learn the next time to be on it with all your patient's data before your instructor asks. I'm glad you rechecked because thats important too. Don't sweat the small

    I think I might be in the wrong field

    strawberryluv replied to ptrang1987's topic in General Students

    Since you're so early in the game, I say drop it. I honestly think that if people have the choice and they are in the beginning...they should get out. Nursing IS stressful and scary. These are...

    Is it normal to not graduate "on time"?

    strawberryluv replied to greenbean14's topic in General Students

    A year doesn't mean anything. You're going to have years and years of nursing left when you graduate. If it bothers you so much then retire a year later than what you already

    Nursing Students are ROBOTS!

    strawberryluv replied to MurseMita's topic in General Students

    Then, apply for nursing school somewhere else. If you are the ideal nursing student like you think you are, you will have no problem finding a nursing school that will accept you. I know its tough to...

    Should I quit nursing school?

    strawberryluv replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    It looks like you are destined to be a psych nurse. You seem to have the aptitude to be a nurse so why not see how you like it? Nursing school is way different from actual nursing, you will be...

    If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    strawberryluv replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think its appropriate to say if you fail NCLEX "x" amount of times, you should not be a nurse or be a different type of nurse. NCLEX is NO FACTOR on how someone might perform in the clinical...

    How come I can't do better?

    strawberryluv replied to GuineaPigs's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I've been told if you get at least a 70% doing questions then you're in the clear or the green. It will be VERY hard to score like 80's and 90's because these are like higher level thinking, you know?...

    Passed my Hesi Exit exam The nightmare is over

    strawberryluv replied to andyyyedm's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I hope you don't document care the way you write. If you manage to have to defend yourself in a court case for negligence, you would look really incompetent because of your writing. Pick up a book on...

    Missed clinical! :(

    strawberryluv replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    Been there, done that. Just make it up. If your school is anything like most nursing schools, you just pay for the "instructor appearance fee" for the missed day which is usually somewhere like...

    Will LPN's be around for long?

    strawberryluv replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wish people will stop saying things like LPNs are phased out or whatever. They're not being phased out...not when you can pay someone $27/hr to do most of the things the $33/hr. nurse is doing....

    strawberryluv replied to zionsma's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Last semester advice/experience??

    strawberryluv replied to Ravenheart's topic in General Students

    Maternity and pediatrics are EASY subjects. You will succeed and pass most likely. I think if I can have any two nursing courses in my last semester it would be those classes. I breezed through

    Social Skills in Nursing: The Art of Validation

    strawberryluv replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
