  1. Why RNs cannot say 'That's not my job'

    TC3200 replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in General Nursing

    That's a very interesting observation, re. the quality of the work. I recently left a RN school due to (actually, was kicked out for complaining about) the low caliber of instruction that I was...

  2. Washington Hospital school of Nursing

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I have copies of schedules for nursing I through nursing 4. I'm no longer attending there. I don't recommend it, due to any number of factors, including a highly customized "integrated" curriculum...

  4. Washington PA spring 2011 - NO parking??!!!

    TC3200 replied to TC3200's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Update Jan. 2012: Back in Sept or Oct 2011, there was a big dust-up about students parking at the Leonard Ave. clinic and the ER parking lots. Security chased all students off those lots. The...

    TC3200 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. How much time training on L&D?

    TC3200 replied to MarieLeah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See if you can get into a maternity unit someplace and walk around just to desensitize yourself. If you don't know anyone having a baby, then that might be tough to do, lol. I was at a diploma school...

  8. ITT Tech nursing?

    TC3200 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    None of it will transfer to a college program, in the event that it doesn't work out or you run out of funds and have to transfer to someplace lower cost. You'd have to start all over at a college or...

  9. Equipment needed for School

    TC3200 replied to number8's topic in General Students

    a portable computer (plus a nice big monitor if the computer has a 15" screen or less, and maybe a full size USB keyboard for that, too) a multifunction laser printer / scanner / copier that has a...

  10. Failing, and it'sall my fault

    TC3200 replied to Ayala's topic in General Students

    Maybe the problem is just anxiety.S ometimes the personalities just clash. It sounds like you flinch every time you have to deal with this instructor, and that she doesn't like you. (And that's okay...

  11. Just Took The dreaded TEAS test

    TC3200 replied to Star1278's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    For all of the people having problems with English and grammar: Is English your native language? I'm just curious, because I've always done well in English and grammar, didn't need to review that or...

  12. Before nursing school..

    TC3200 replied to BayleesMommy1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The entrance requirements differ at different schools. Most schools (RN) need certain prerequisites completed before you can apply, but some I guess still directly admit students to nursing. Most...

  13. Was nursing school fun?

    TC3200 replied to Nolander's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ^ I second that assessment. I drop in here once in a while to see how nursing school affects men, since I worked in a "male" profession before trying nursing. Nursing school was pure misery for me,...

  14. Passing NCLEX versus teaching students nursing skills...which is your school?

    TC3200 replied to kayak133's topic in General Students

    I think that they must all be putting more emphasis on NCLEX-RN now. I chose a diploma program, and one of the reasons that I chose it was for the extra clinical hours in it. But 1 year later, I've...

  15. Another one, or two, bite the dust!!!

    TC3200 replied to clandestine-approach's topic in General Students

    That original post sounded like someone has been drinking the Nursing Instructor Kool-Aid by the pitcherful, lol. There are many of reasons that students fail nursing school. I rather think that...

  16. How To Survive (and Thrive) In Nursing School

    TC3200 replied to 86toronado's topic in General Students

    Also look at the curriculum, the clinical schedule, and how all of that is laid out and orchestrated. The colleges and universities are usually following a block curriculum and "industry-standard"...

  17. Need to interview nursing students....

    TC3200 replied to mchacon21's topic in General Students

    ^^ That whole thing is riddled w/ typos because this (borrowed) keyboard is sized for man-hands, and I can't reach half of the keys unless I look first, lol. The comment about the colleges should say:...

  19. Pre-nln study guide...need some advice

    TC3200 replied to Jc1982's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never used a specific PAX study guide. It was similar to the HESI A2 contnet. I took HESI A2 twice (once at each school, because the school can customize that exam,) I took NLN PAX once. The...

  20. Not sure about nursing

    TC3200 replied to anonymousandy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, but if Andy is not making the points to stay in the program long enough, it will never come together. I just dug out my Nursing I binder and looked through it to see what we covered in that....

  21. Not sure about nursing

    TC3200 replied to anonymousandy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    YES! I just went through almost a full year of a diploma school that was exactly like that. And I had the good grades at first, and then dropped and yo-yo'd after that. I really think there is a...

  22. Washington hospital school of nursing

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The school told me that they expect us to use weekends as study time. (And thus that philosophy is also built into their workload demand. Good luck if you want to have a job, or spend time with...

  24. Washington hospital school of nursing

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I hesitated to say anything in detail about this program for a long time, but I am no longer in this program. It didn't work for me, because I needed/expected/wanted a predictable and consistent...

  25. Best Review Book for School/NCLEX

    TC3200 replied to student422's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Saunders is what has been most often recommended to me. But a classmate told me that she and 5 friends each bought a different NCLEX book, then made 5 copies of the appropriate chapters that they...
