Kmart.... Those horrible and irregular hours. I would go to work at noon and wouldn't get off until closing ( the irregular hours were all over the place) and assembling, plugging and taping wire harnesses at a factory...my fingers used to hurt so ba...

I would prefer outside the room for the report then a walk in for visualization and introductions for oncoming and offgoing nurse due to other family members, or friends visiting ( privacy).. This is how reporting was done my second time working in a...

My brother worked in CCU and the ER and he also worked at a coffee shop!! His perks... He liked the free wifi on his breaks and he read in between during breaks to prepare for CRNA school!! He said he really enjoyed working at the coffee shop althoug...

I just started working at a hospital and the nurses have to wear all white( tops/bottoms) including the jacket/ lab coat... Enough said!! I have never worked anywhere where I had to wear all white with no other option!! They are suppose to be changin...

I felt the same way but was very excited yet a little nervous that my test shut off at 75 questions! I called my husband and brother immediately after I tested and they said "oh you passed that test". I check the BON the very next day and saw my PN a...

Good luck with trying to resolve the HESI issue!! I know of people who were trying to petition against the HESI back in the year 06/07 and it's 2015 now! Some schools integrate HESI within the coursework and use them as entrance and exit exams. We we...

I truly hope that your situation gets better! I don't have any kids but I am still newly married! I worked nights as an LPN years ago when I graduated and I was the meanest person :) My family members would wake me all day long and would not let me g...

My state ( Mississippi) participates with the selection/ option of obtaining your scores via quick results. I also did 75 questions. I tested Thursday 10/2/14 at 8am and finished about 9:45am. I checked the BON website yesterday morning after 8am and...

This is a very sensitive post. Although I myself do not have any children, I have worked as a PDN with special needs kids. I can just imagine being a parent who works full time with a family with a special needs child. I salute those parents!! And ye...

Teaching or my first love... A career in journalism!!

I graduated from LPN school in 2000 and I just recently graduated from my ADN program May 2014! I waited a long time. Life just got in the way! No kids but I did work part-time doing private duty during my year of schooling. I plan to go back to scho...

I graduate this Thursday!! I can't wait! My last day was on last week during finals! I started with Netflix today and some reading. It felt so good to know that I don't have classes anymore on tues and thur evenings:)

78 in my current program and 75 in my previous program ( passing) and rounding does apply in both programs.

Congrats! I will be graduating next month and I need all the study material I can get my hands on!!! I just emailed you. Thanks!

78 to pass and my school does round.

My school requires a 900 on the HESI exit exam. We have 3 chances to take it before graduation in May. If we are not successful after the 3rd attempt we will not be receiving a degree and will not be allowed to sit for boards. Remediation can be done...

@Capp sorry to hear about your situation but this is very common in nursing programs. You shouldn't have to play teachers's pet to avoid being picked on by an instructor, but that's how some instructors are, not all are like that. I've been very fort...

Amazon!!

I am currently in an evening/ wknd ADN program. I have evening classes on Tues and Thurs (3hrs) and clinical every other wknd on Sat and Sun (6 hrs) I work doing private duty on Mon, Wed, and Fri so this type of works allows for some downtime that I'...

My school's grading scale 90-100 = A 80-89 = B 78-79 = C 70-77 = D 0-69 = F Anything below a 78 is not passing. My school does round!

Sorry to hear about you failing your first semester of nursing school. Unfortunately, the school does not have to round scores. My school does round. We always receive grading requirements/ syllabus prior to each semester. So I always was aware of wh...

We didn't have rolling bags. We had tote bags and I also used a newspaper as a barrier to set my bag on. The patients were offended at times but I would nicely and politely explain to them that this bag isn't the only house that I have to tote it in....

When I worked as a home health nurse a couple years back, we used newspaper as a barrier.
