    I'm inclined to agree. I just can't wrap my mind around it, either. It seems like an honest mistake, though, and I hope it works out for

    Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    CrazierThanYou replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    Life is indeed unfair. If you are an adult I am mighty surprised you haven't figured that out by now... Anyway, it is realistic to say that you really don't ever know where your instructors are going...

    CrazierThanYou posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am going to graduate from nursing school in a couple of months and I hope to find a job relatively soon after passing the NCLEX. My question is: can anyone give me an idea of what kind of questions...

    CrazierThanYou replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Some years ago, I suddenly become very sick. High fever, intense abdominal pain, head splitting headache, vomiting, you name it. My mom drove me to the ER because I felt so bad. During triage, the...

    CrazierThanYou replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I totally know what you're saying but I've had many, many instances with my daughters ear infections when her temp would be practically boiling and I'd give her some Motrin or Tylenol. When we'd get...

    What NOT to say during an interview

    CrazierThanYou replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a student currently and I have a classmate whom I could TOTALLY see saying something like this. She doesn't have Asperger's or anything, she is just so selfish and self-absorbed that she seems to...

    Fired from first RN job...does it get better?

    CrazierThanYou replied to namiller1213's topic in Nursing Career

    I also think they were too quick in firing you. You are a new nurse and you say you weren't informed of the narc wasting policies. I, too, am curious: who DO you witness with if you are the only one...

    CrazierThanYou replied to virtouso's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am also sorry to hear that you failed but I agree with both of you, better to be able to retest in 45 days than a year or maybe never. Good luck on your next
