    I'm still taking prereq's but have been taking NCLEX practice tests

    trauma_lama replied to NenaRK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i totally agree...NCLEX should not just be about common sense, it should be a good test of the concepts learned in clinical and nursing classes. otherwise, why don't we all just go take the NCLEX and...

    RN vs NP vs DNP

    trauma_lama replied to Wrangler156's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't mean this to sound harsh, but I would not want myself or my family to be seen by an NP with no bedside experience other than clinical rotation from school. Nursing under your own license (as...

    trauma_lama replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Nursing Career

    This "us" vs "them" mentality....

    trauma_lama replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a student. I'm a relatively new student, so my experiences are limited, but I have no problems with staff nurses in clinical. I do the very best I can to figure things out on my own when I can,...

    trauma_lama replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    trauma_lama replied to Dre2416's topic in General Nursing

    it's a tough call to make...you can set yourself up for bad references if you up and leave for nursing school with little warning (especially after they told you what they needed from you). HOWEVER,...

    trauma_lama replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Students
