    Why is this question always asked?

    LadyFree28 replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Critique of Nursing School

    LadyFree28 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

    It's interesting that you brought that up; my program that I graduated from (should be on year 3) is utilizing EBP by measuring their BSN programs over a 5-year span; they measure the outcomes each...

    Quitting after 2.5 months? Overwhelmed and scared.

    LadyFree28 replied to Disc_Chick's topic in First Year After Licensure

    LTC is a totally different animal that, if a positive experience, can STILL be overwhelming; however, with the right type of blueprint in terms of nursing care and practice, it gets better, and time...

    Falsely accused of verbal abuse

    LadyFree28 replied to johnny6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    His "loser" statement made me raise my eyebrow...just sayin'. As I posted in your other post; if you are in a union facility, make sure you are represented to defend the accusation. This is pretty...

    LadyFree28 replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs
