    HeySis replied to dalainey's topic in General Nursing

    Where to go after med/surg?

    HeySis replied to hellokidney's topic in General Nursing

    As far as level of attention you want to give to them...I'm not sure we ever do this as a nurse. I've left a patient in home health, after going over the hour visit time, still feeling like there was...

    New Nurse

    HeySis replied to cool88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with those above and wonder what kind of joke this is, there is no way that you went through nursing school with all of your instructors reinforcing this belief. You had better get a lot...

    Best quality care cannot be provided

    HeySis replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true. School teaches us the "NCLEX world"..... which is so far from the "real world" that instructors point out the difference all the time. They talk about in NCLEx you always have enough...

    HeySis replied to Texasdude's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan has a good video that explains the NCLEX, and difficulty levels. It does not give a specific number of levels, but they, and companies like them (Uworld) would have the most info about the...

    Nclex feeling like I failed

    HeySis replied to Geus412's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
