How do you handle them? I am a fairly new nurse (1.5yrs) and brand new to the hospital setting. I previously worked in a clinic and spent very little time with my patients. I was with a doctor at all times so if a patient was mad, upset or angry they...

Thank you for all the responses. I didn't mention in the post that I did in fact go to my supervisor and she went to the CNO and they both proceeded to speak with the patient about his behavior. He was not AMS, just a jerk and was not my patient. I w...

JustBeachyNurse, Thank you for responding! I was only worried about my A&P 1 class, which would have been the only class that would have expired. Anyway, I went ahead and ENROLLED today! I also bought my first CD from studyguide101 (transition) a...

Hi everyone. I am confused! I have a question about the Oct.1. I have several credits that will be older than 5 years by the end of this year...if I don't enroll by Oct. 1 will I have to take these classes all over again? I have spoken with Excelsior...

I took the NCLEX last Friday, got 85 questions, no math, a ton of prioritizing, 50% SATA and I PASSED!! Follow the instructions for the pearson vue trick: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/pearsonvue-trick-does-621075.html good luck

Hi everyone, I finished my LPN program at the beginning of this month and have registered and paid for the NCLEX. I am just waiting to hear back from the state so that I can pick my date to test. LPN jobs are tough around here so when I saw a job onl...

To BeachieRN84 and WestPalmLPN, I searched Allnurses for Excelsior students in PSL and found this thread, and found you two! I live in PSL. I am graduating from my LPN program in 3 weeks and I plan on doing Excelsior. Let me ask you guys, did you fin...

I want to say thank you to everyone again for the advice and comments. I have learned a valuable lesson here and will continue to do things "by the book" while in school. Also, I guess I need to step up and speak my mind when I feel like I need to go...

Wow, thank you everyone so much! You have eased my mind. To clarify, there were no Dr. Orders to NOT mix them together. And, as for the instructor telling us to sign the MAR before administration, we as a group expressed our concern about this (and t...

Have you looked for any scholarships that are available? Have you applied for Financial Aid? I would start there. In my first semester I paid over $500 in books! Last year while I was doing my Pre-Reqs my part time job (MWF 9-5) worked out great beca...

I know how you feel. It sucks having to feel like you have to justify your decisions to friends and family! I am going through the same thing right now. I originally thought I was going to get accepted into an Accelerated BSN program and HA that didn...

Hello everyone! I need some help/suggestions. Let me tell you my background...I graduated with a degree in Sociology with a plan of getting my Master's in Mental Health. Once I did some research on Mental Health/Psych Nursing, I was hooked and decide...

Thank you, elkpark. I appreciate your advice! I have looked into Accelerated BSN's and I plan on applying to a few for next Fall. I heard those were even harder to get into than Regular ADN programs. I guess my confusion came from the RN and NP progr...

Hi. I applied for PBSC LPN program for Jan. Have you heard anything yet?

mari-a friend of mine who also put in an application for January called NOVA and said we would hear by the end of October.

giggles-thanks so much for the info! I had no idea that NOVA was first-come, first-serve. I also didn't know that I could attach my CNA License along with my application. I hope to still get in for January. However, if they do defer my application to...

I also posted this to the other Nova thread, didn't know there was a newer on! Hi everyone. I am new to this thread and I have a few questions. You all applied to start in January 2011 at Nova and have already gotten acceptance emails? I put in my ap...

Hi everyone! I also applied for IRSC Nursing Program for Spring 2010. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one biting my nails waiting to hear if I'm accepted! Does anyone know if the NLN is what makes or breaks you? I scored OK, but I have a great GPA ...

I just finished Micro for the summer. It was 6 weeks long and very demanding! We had a quiz every day (Monday through Thursday) and a test every week. For all of you who are just starting or getting ready to start Micro for the summer, you can do it!...
