  1. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    Streamline2010 replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    I am an engineer and not in nursing classes yet. I answered 1-4 correctly, by reasoning what seems like the most correct. Someone posted on here that the NCLEX questions frequently are staged with...

  2. Men: Are catty / backstabbing / selfish female nurses typical, or not?

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Men: Are catty / backstabbing / selfish female nurses typical, or not? I am asking because I am a career changer, from engineering and manufacturing, in predominantly male environments, to...

  3. Should I complete the CNA or LPN. I have beeb teaching for 15 years

    Streamline2010 replied to sandy1819's topic in General Nursing

    1. There are LOADS more openings in CNA and LPN training, and the wait to get into them is shorter. Fewer RN seats, fewer schools offering RN unless you live in an urban area, and much longer wait...

  4. How much should Nursing School be?

    Streamline2010 replied to Yesenia01's topic in Florida Nursing

    OP, look up online the One Stop (the unemployment office people) for your state. Then look up via their web site, resources for Individuals, or for those seeking training, the training provider list...

  5. Books to study for LPN entrance exam

    Streamline2010 replied to orange_dolphin's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LPN test math is straight out of any current GED math prep book. Probably the English is, too. TEAS Test RN and LPN Pre-Entrance Format and look through some of the free questions there. When I...

  6. You Guys Are Making Me Worry.

    Streamline2010 replied to bella_autore's topic in General Nursing

    In Pennsylvania, you can also work as an LPN if you have an RN license. For LPN pay, of course. But, new-grad RNs are having some problems in finding jobs and the pay is generally quoted as $22 /...

  7. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    Streamline2010 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    Somehow, I don't see the (presumably male) spouse getting "kid duty" as an unfair thing, at all. Kids have TWO parents, so TWO can do kid duty, even if one of them happens to be the father. I'm...

  8. NLN-RN Pre-entrance exam...Did I get a good study guide??

    Streamline2010 replied to affffraidofamericans's topic in General Students

  9. Information about traveling nurses

    Streamline2010 replied to Robyntip's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, time out. In most companies that are well-advised by attorneys, there are definite rules that require that contract workers not be treated exactly the same as permanent hires, specifically to...

  10. How Do I set up these problems

    Streamline2010 replied to Darkpk55's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, both of those are good for dimensional analysis, a.k.a. "factor label method." They deal with units conversions that are familiar, and conversion factors that people already know. How many...

    Streamline2010 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    Well, if one doesn't have a stellar GPA, here are two strategies that might get you into nursing: 1. Apply to private schools. Instead of lining up for the budget friendly community colleges and...

  12. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    Streamline2010 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    I am a high B student, mostly because I always worked full time in demanding real career(s) while going to school. My only stint as full-time student was the initial associate degree that I did as a...

  13. Put on probation first time administering meds

    Streamline2010 replied to lilykiss6's topic in General Students

    conversly, had there been a week between the absence and the clinical, that instructor, or another at that same school, had an entire week to slap together an update and broadcast it to students or...

  14. What pay are nurses making these days?

    Streamline2010 replied to BeOne77's topic in General Nursing

    For data for your particular state, go talk to the case managers at your local One Stop (unemployment office.) Pennsylvania published a report that that includes a list of salaries for LPN and for...

  15. 42 yr old male applying for LPn school in a couple months

    Streamline2010 replied to TTAmoneypit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think most of it is scores on the preadmission test, since the official requirements are high school diploma or GED. I didn't take a Work Keys test, so don't know what's on it. On the TEAS,...

    Streamline2010 replied to MMDearing's topic in General Students

  18. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Streamline2010 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Was that senile and the b-word?? What was starred out? Can you take screen shots of those Facebook pages and report those students? Or tip off the older classmate so that she can? If someone...

  19. No jobs for new grad nurses!

    Streamline2010 replied to trin22's topic in Nursing Career

    There are USA government programs of some sort that pay half of a person's wages if that person is retraining. In the last factory that I worked in, they had older workers retraining to be quality...

  20. Potential pitfall of the CNA before or during nursing school?

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have one comment about this movement toward getting a CNA license before or during nursing school. Please bear with me while I am laying out this case: I have been a displaced worker, twice now....

  21. ADN/BSN/MSN

    Streamline2010 replied to millerma1993's topic in Nursing Career

    Streamline2010 replied to tubbys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Hesi A2 applying for UT Houston

    Streamline2010 replied to supaflyz's topic in Texas Nursing

    That same question was asked elsewhere. At one school I tested for, you could retake one time any section that needed improvement. Other people said their schools made them repeat the whole thing....

  24. Psychiatric Background Check For First Degree BSN

    Streamline2010 replied to natasharostova's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    True. I became unhinged from the application process, LOL! That is why my handle here is STREAMLINE. I applied to 6 schools, and that was very unhinging for me. OP, don't volunteer information....

  25. Question about HESI A2 Entrance retakes!

    Streamline2010 replied to future_RNurse321's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I am sure that one of the schools that I tested for let people retake only the specific sections that needed improvement. But I think they only got one retake. Check with your school to see what...
