  1. Experience with Clinicals

    MN-Nurse replied to Twinmom06's topic in General Students

    7am? You wish. Try 6am and don't be late punk! Fortunately, I did have one rotation where we went 1400-2100. One of my clinical instructors hated getting up

  2. Two year vs 4 yr

    MN-Nurse replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

  3. Nursing Shortage: New Grad or Experienced

    MN-Nurse replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    MN-Nurse replied to orangetkdgirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  6. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    MN-Nurse replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw Disturbed Energy Fields and Therapeutic Touch in that NANDA book, I immediately dismissed the entire thing as absolute nonsense. I did the care plans and got good scores on them, but if...

    MN-Nurse replied to laynem's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MN-Nurse replied to Ellis02136's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What dilemma? Quitting my job to go to nursing school was one of my favorite days ever. My boss brought me into his office for my weekly berating on the status of my 14 "High Priority" projects and I...

  9. New Grads: What are you doing?

    MN-Nurse replied to greekisfun's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i) What are you doing to stay current with your nursing knowledge and skills. I just passed the NCLEX so I'm giving my brain a bit of a rest. There remains plenty of opportunity to learn as I...

  12. Rant: Institutional disrespect of students

    MN-Nurse replied to canigraduate's topic in General Students

    Welcome to Nursing School. On the flipside, many students are incessantly whining during nursing school. At times, I was one of them. That means even when you have perfectly valid concerns, your...

  13. CNA very upset

    MN-Nurse replied to peppylady's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    By not reporting this, you are covering up the abuse of a vulnerable adult. I know it's hard and you don't want to "tattle" but protecting the residents is your first priority. I worked in one of...

  14. Immunizations & nursing school

    MN-Nurse replied to determined09's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah that worked real well against polio. Your approach was tried - before vaccines were developed. People got tired of counting dead

  15. Qbank Score Help

    MN-Nurse replied to BetterMeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Keep doing those Kaplan questions and you will be fine. My roommate, bless her heart, barely studied for the NCLEX. I basically nagged her to do a couple qbanks and trainer. She got like 58 percent...

  16. Kaplan Qbank or Qtrainer

    MN-Nurse replied to nowIamRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would suggest contacting classmates who are taking Kaplan and working with them. Maybe if you offered them a little cash they might share some access with you. I had many study partners who took...

    MN-Nurse replied to sverner's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep, took it June 7, passed in 75 questions. A LOT of SATA and priority questions. You feel like you are guessing on half the test. So far everyone I know of in my class has passed. Two of them went...

  18. New RN's...do you have a job ?

    MN-Nurse replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Healthcare booms with the rest of the economy...which is most definitely NOT booming. I graduated in May and have some good prospects. 1. I just got a call for an interview for a Graduate Nurse...

    MN-Nurse replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. It your responsibilty to find a position that does not conflict with your religious views. It is not up to your supervisor or your coworkers to do your job because of your particular...

  20. Nrsg student can't find a job...

    MN-Nurse replied to mendezs12's topic in General Students

    You either have to get very lucky or know someone at the facility you want to work at. I was neither so I took a REALLY horrible job as a CNA in one of the worst nursing homes in the country. I...

  21. Reading, reading and more reading but not enough time.

    MN-Nurse replied to sweet_von's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Unfortunately it is not possible to read every page of every book. But you can skim it. I used the SQ3R method when first addressing the material. Easy to look up anywhere I did the Scan and...

  22. To People Who Have Used Exam Cram:

    MN-Nurse replied to in.the.middle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  24. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

    MN-Nurse replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a whole bunch of SATA. It was starting to frustrate me. On question 74 I was thinking "I hope 75 is NOT a blasted SATA." It was. I think I got it right and the test shut down after
