    I don't want to work in a nursing home...

    ProudStudent posted a topic in General Students

    As a student, I have been asked by many people "what field are you interested in working?". My answer is always something along the lines of being very open minded, except I have figured out that I...

    awful pt assignment or the norm?

    ProudStudent replied to maybug's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The ratio is common, but our unit tries to stick with a 1:5. When it goes 1:6 and the patients have that high of an acuity level, it becomes unsafe for you and your patients. Glad you spoke up instead...

    TIPS please!

    ProudStudent replied to inoj08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I agree. Answer questions like you get paid for each one! The more you answer, the better you benefit. The nclex is a test of competency and there is no way for me to describe the best way to...

    How to check Florida Board of Nursing if you passed

    ProudStudent replied to butter&jelly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are not "just" a CNA! Sorry...had to throw that out there, lol. I've been a very hard-working CNA and will continue to appreciate the crap they deal with every day (literally). On another note,...

    kaplan readiness scores correlation w/passing NCLEX?

    ProudStudent replied to GeorgiaBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Btw, I actually recognized questions on the nclex from one of my resources. I don't know which one, but I remember thinking I've seen this exact question somewhere. Kaplan's test taking strategies...

    kaplan readiness scores correlation w/passing NCLEX?

    ProudStudent replied to GeorgiaBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The test was "hard" in a sense that the questions were all the analysis style. I would get questions that mentioned symptoms in the stem and I had to know what disease process the question referred to...

    kaplan readiness scores correlation w/passing NCLEX?

    ProudStudent replied to GeorgiaBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I kept getting anywhere from 60%-70% on my scores with Kaplan and ATI, both. I just took the nclex this afternoon and received the good pop-up message. The test wasn't easy, but I did feel prepared by...

    Part time work and Nursing program?

    ProudStudent replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I didn't work the first two semesters. Now that Summer is coming, I've picked up a student intern position for experience and money. I hope to work through my third and fourth semesters. I have plenty...

    Considering Home Health as a CNA

    ProudStudent replied to ProudStudent's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the information. It makes sense that a CNA wouldn't be considered as an independent contractor, now that you mention it. I do have a Home Health Aide certificate as well, so I'll be...

    ProudStudent posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all! I'm currently finishing my first semester of nursing school, expecting to graduate and become a RN in a few more semesters. I am also currently a CNA in southwest FL. I have never worked...

    Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    ProudStudent replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    It stinks that you were removed from the program, but the rules are the rules and they must make you understand how much of a liability this could have been. Like someone said in an earlier post, you...

    Fall semester is almost over. How did everyone do?

    ProudStudent replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    The semester is almost over?! It's so hard to believe. I too, was a straight-A student. I kept reading on this forum that students were not getting the A's they were used to, and I thought for sure...

    Half way through nursing school and may have to quit

    ProudStudent replied to jaelloumom's topic in General Students

    Going there might be your best bet. I know that I get better results when I visit them in person.

    Half way through nursing school and may have to quit

    ProudStudent replied to jaelloumom's topic in General Students

    I would think that the HRSA scholarship approval will be enough of an "IOU" to keep rolling in classes. If it's not tied directly into your school financial aid office, maybe taking proof of the funds...

    ProudStudent replied to ProudStudent's topic in General Students

    Woah!!! Ok, I appreciate the responses from everyone but need to make myself VERY clear. I did say "In order to stay open minded, I'm curious to find out why others may desire to work in LTC...

    ProudStudent replied to JD87's topic in General Students

    Is dating or flirting with an another nurse or patient is acceptable?

    ProudStudent replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Never, never, never and I repeat...NEVER date a patient. That is totally unprofessional, completely unethical and more than likely against any policy in any facility you may ever work for. As far as...

    WEB A&P II course... Good or bad idea?

    ProudStudent replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II online, at the school where I am attending NS. It's the only A&P II class they offer, as a matter of fact. I enjoyed it, took a lot from it and feel like I learned more -because...
