    mbschloss replied to mabez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are no easy solutions when it comes to studying for an NCLEX. Strategy guides can help you learn to look for key phrasing, but you need a strong foundation of critical thinking to eliminate...

    mbschloss replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Study guides..... Depends on your program & your instructor. Learn for yourself & your career. Everything is relevant, even if it doesn't seem to be. So keep up on syllabus assigned reading,...

  11. Nursing Classroom Education: The big bang of powerpoint slavery

    mbschloss replied to guest042302019's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My nursing program LPN was a year of crap! A revolving door of instructors who had no clue how to cover the massive amount of information in 6 short weeks. We would have 4 hours lecture per subject 2...

    mbschloss replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    mbschloss replied to happybum's topic in Nursing Career

    Happybum, you should also take into (depending on your college policy) that the time you wait for entry into programs ages your prerequisites. Here in Western Washington, I had to take a full year 45...

  16. Rejected by 7 schools, need advice on what to do.

    mbschloss replied to happybum's topic in Nursing Career

  17. Nursing School Blues

    mbschloss replied to englishgeek's topic in General Students

    Common. I think it's based off the lack of social & self time. You get so over whelmed by the program. It's like everyone puts their lives on hold. I remember that just getting to go to the salon...
