  1. Authorization to Test

    I asked my NCLEX coordinator yesterday and she said within two weeks you should receive your ATT if not you need to start bugging them and calling them to find out what's going on. Hope that
  2. Medgar Evers

    Medgar Evers isn't deserted, it's one or two blocks away from the train station. Like the others said, it's really competitive and their waiting lists for nursing (LPN or RN) are insane. You have to...
  3. Bachelor's or Bachelor of Science...?

    Third
  4. Some of my friends seem to think nurses make the worse patients partially due to the fact that we're so knowledgable and aware of what is going on. I think it works both ways. I think due the fact...
  5. Do nurses make the worse patients?

    I hope I made myself clear: I don't think there is anything wrong with advocating for yourself as well as a family member. There is a way to go about it with class and respect and some people just...

    I have been hearing this for years. Quite frankly, I don't think they'll do away with LPNs. Their role is vital to the nursing team just like everyone

  11. llg, there was no reason. they had been coming there to the same place every saturday at the same time. the problem was, the DON had no idea what was going on, who was supposed to be there, and who...
  12. I remember one day my best friend said she arrived at a hospital with her fellow classmates and their instructor prepared to work. Mind you, it's early November and they had been coming to this...
  13. I get what you all are saying but i think over the years nursing has lost its compassion, which is what are widely known for. I think many nurses get sucked into the negativity (which is quite easy)...
  14. December grad's How are you feeling

    YAY!!! Congrats to you as well, it's been a long road, we put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears but we made it and I could not be
