    Kaplan classroom review

    KJM-RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel very torn if I should take the kaplan classroom review for the nclex-rn. I've maintained A's throughout nursing school and feel as though I'm a good test taker. I was wondering if anyone...

    What is the average of a nursing student?

    KJM-RN replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    We were told the average age of a nursing student at my school is 34, but it totally varies, definitely a lot of students in their 20's and many in late 40's, so I guess it averages out to be

    can you be certified as a cna/nurse assistant after fundamentals?

    KJM-RN replied to Hotbab3's topic in General Students

    I live in New York. For me, after Fundamentals, we are considered equivalent to a CNA. No test required, just apply, and if asked can provide a letter from the school that states you've completed...

    Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    KJM-RN replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    Some people are A students and provide excellent patient care as well. Never understood the argument that A students don't perform well in the clinical setting. I have one semester left of nursing...

    Is this a Med Error? I have been kicked from clinical. Help

    KJM-RN replied to nursing?s's topic in General Students

    I'm kind of confused... So meds just have to be verified with your prof before you go pass them by yourself? In my state, meds must be passed only with the prof standing by our side, not even allowed...

    Nursing Fundamentals

    KJM-RN replied to Lovely86's topic in General Students

    A&P II is very important to nursing classes, more so than A&P I, but also more so for a med/surg class then for nursing fundamentals. I'm surprised you can take nursing classes before taking...

    Will I be in over my head? Advice please!

    KJM-RN replied to FutureNurseNYC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stony Brook is a tough school, especially for the sciences, and the nursing program is super competitive. You sound as though you can do it though, you've persevered through a lot and have come out...

    Trouble with starting IV's

    KJM-RN replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    If this makes any of you feel any better... I live in NY, where students are not allowed to start IV's until we graduate, same goes for drawing blood from a patient or giving an IV push

    Most relevant/useful pre-nursing science class?

    KJM-RN replied to bardone's topic in General Students

    Definitely A&P 2 was the most important, but I'm sure that's a pre-req for you. I took a class titled Principles of organic and biochemistry II, I found it to be pretty helpful once I was in my...

    This semester of nursing school not going well for me - unbelievable

    KJM-RN replied to Nogoodmood's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if this is contingent upon the state, but a nurse aid can assess for tube feeding and administer it along with giving injections to patients? They definitely can't do that where I'm...

    Background Check? ????

    KJM-RN replied to GodIs082010's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'll just chime in with the others. My school requires a background check because they need it for the hospitals we attend clinical at. Also, according to my school it's ok to have a DUI, as long as...

    What color is your uniform?

    KJM-RN replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    A professional all white uniform- white scrub pants (no cargo pockets, just most basic scrub pants), a white collared, button down top, and white nursing shoes. Obviously white socks and undies too....

    Lecture notes/recording ?s

    KJM-RN replied to Esnooopy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm currently in nursing school. Most professors allow recording of lecture, I have no problems with using my iPhone, play back is fine. For note taking, I bring my laptop and also use basic paper...

    on the verge of failing!

    KJM-RN replied to Daisy02's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester, as well, most of the exam questions are nclex style questions. Although it is the first semester, they still need to prep us for the boards, as that is what will ultimately...

    Pt told me... why didn't anyone else?

    KJM-RN replied to Blues1220's topic in General Nursing

    I thought that aids/HIV is considered a disability, not a disease in the eyes of the law, and is therefore not required to be disclosed if positive for

    This sounds really negative, especially without having any experience as an RN yet. I hope I don't get this negative while in

    SCCC 2011 Ammerman Day Nursing Program

    KJM-RN replied to RetSGT's topic in New York Nursing

    That sounds a little dysfunctional, 2 different times given by 2 different professors, with no other information. I wonder if you're even supposed to bring your stethoscope. Everyone else in your...

    KJM-RN replied to RetSGT's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't have clinical until Thursday so I assume I'll hear more on Wednesday on what we should have with us, not exactly sure. I actually thought we weren't meeting at the facility the first 2 weeks,...

    What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    KJM-RN replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am starting an ADN program in 1 week. I tried to get into the local state university so I would graduate with a BSN, but with a 4.0 and a year of volunteer at their hospital I was rejected. So I...
