Hello everyone. I made a similar question before couple of years ago but I am hoping there are more options available now. I am looking for a very descriptive and visual (video) online class that can help me as a preparation for my FNP board test. I am a good visual learned. I am looking for something like "hurst". Any ideas or suggestions. Thank you

Tank you

Hello Everyone, 2 days ago I took the nclex for the second time and I failed it. The first time I did Kaplan, all the prediction test were in my favor but I didn't pass the real test. The Nclex report said that I was near to the passing point in all areas. The second time I did Hurst which I thought was much better than Kaplan. Their video lectures and strategies really helped me to understand a lot. Again, I thought I was almost sure to pass this time but apparently it wasn't enough. This time the Nclex report test said that I was near to the passing point except Pharmachology where I was above the passing point and Psychological integrity which I was below the passing point. In this second test there were questions about stuff wasn't in my books or in Kaplan or Hurst program. Now I am schedule to take it a third time and I was trying to find an online program that is updated with video lectures. I learn more with video then reading. Please if you know any other program that is not Kaplan or Hurst let me know. Thank you.

Yea but they are more focus in politics and home work type of thing... I am just looking for tips or to confirm that my rationalization is normal or I am just a judgmental nurse.

I have thought about this for many days, thinking about the arguments in either direction. I don't know that I have a complete answer yet. Although I feel that basic health care in most of the cases is a right, there are some exceptions. When I see patients that come to my ER as a consequence of personal negligence. I cant avoid feeling like that person is abusing of the health care system. Thus, perhaps the basic care and preventitive care should be a right. However, many of the procedures that are based on people's personal negligence, it becomes a privilege. Any thoughts???

Thank you this is very useful.

Thank you very much for your answer. We have few problems in the area of Washington. 1) Most hospitals only hired BSN nurses 2) The school where I am currently completing my RN. only have information from one school only and that school is far away from home. they do offer online classes but you have to be at school at least 3 times during the Week. they called Hybrid classes.

any Ideas what schools?

So a little background, I am about to finish my associates degree in Nursing (RN). I was trying to look for an online program that will allow me to transform my Associates degree into a Bachelors degree. I was hoping for a short, online and inexpensive program. Do you have any suggestions? PS: my goal is to become a trauma nurse.

(sorry for the errors "typing from my phone") Here is the deal. In the pass the PT wasn't allow to decide who he want at the bedside. in fact the the visitation regulations was only for Blood related family members and legal spouse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7ogA5zzi5c After president Obama change the regulations only public hospitals are obligated to let the PT decide. who they want at the bed side, and to recognize same sex couple visitation rights. Well not all hospitals are obligated, only those that work with federal funding. There are privet hospitals and in my case a very Catholic Hospital that don't recognize same sex partners as a family members. So the question comes out again.... What happens if the client is gay, and their partner wants to be present? Have you experienced any situations where you were not able to care for your client as well as you would like, due to policy or prejudice within the facility or the staff?
