  1. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

    neverbethesame posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would like to hear from those of you who have taken one or both of them. I am trying to decide between the in-person review class or the online review. They are both $499 so it isn't the price...

    @laura09, Thanks for replying! That's good to know! I was worried about that aspect of

  3. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

    neverbethesame replied to neverbethesame's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    @vanessaem, Thanks for replying! This is good to hear! I don't know if I could stand 21 more hours of a structured and rigid class at this

  4. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

    @RunBabyRun, Thanks for replying! I agree!! I like to have things that I don't understand to be clarified as

  5. Those who work in clinics who serve low income patients...

    neverbethesame replied to LTCNS's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    A fantastic book about "non-compliance" is "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures" by Ann Fadiman. It is one of the best...

  6. "Recording lecture reinforces weakness."

    neverbethesame posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi, I am a nursing student who also taught Pre-K through Adults for 10 years as certified teacher prior to entering nursing school. The above quote was said by my peds clinical instructor....

  7. Surgical Oncology question

    neverbethesame posted a topic in Oncology

    I am starting clinical on a surgical oncology unit (step-down) and want to prepare. -Should I look read over all of my surgical/post-surgical lectures as well as oncology lectures? -Will patients...

  8. Really need your advice from experienced nurses?

    neverbethesame replied to succinate's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Here in the US we have Vocational Rehabilitation which helps people with disabilities. All 50 states have them as it's a federal program. I listed New York's here so you could look at it and see if...

  9. Clinical Instructor Dilemma

    neverbethesame replied to Katbird2014_RN's topic in General Students

    To premeditate something like that for no good reason and to share it (probably gleefully) with another instructor is beyond disturbing. She's one of the ones that give all of nursing a bad name....

  10. Bodies, The Exhibit

    neverbethesame replied to DadStudentPerhaps's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When it was in my city years ago, I didn't go because I wasn't sure about where the bodies came from either. I wondered though if the prisoners died of natural causes and it would be ok then. I...

  11. Clinical Instructor Dilemma

    neverbethesame replied to Katbird2014_RN's topic in General Students

    You've gotten excellent advice. I would take it all and handle it when you graduate. It's sad that in 2014 nursing is still one of the few if not the only field where this goes on and the only...

  12. "Recording lecture reinforces weakness."

    neverbethesame replied to neverbethesame's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thank you for the replies!! I addressed it the evaluation at the end of the course and may address it with the instructor after I graduate -as some wisely pointed out! I know that in this case she...

  13. Hard and Soft Skills

    neverbethesame replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am in nursing school for a second career and worked as an aide in large urban university-based hospital for almost 3 years. This is SO true regardless of the industry. I used to work in a field...

  14. Failed Maternity Clinical? :(

    neverbethesame replied to BanannaFish's topic in General Students

    Keep going up the chain of command. The fact that she didn't follow the handbook to let you know that you had been warned is key here. How could you improve something that you didn't know about?...

  15. Desperate 2 become a NURSE

    neverbethesame replied to rainbowprincess's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There are a lot of jobs in nursing that are not at the bedside where it appears that most of your anxiety kicks in. One of the posters mentioned having bipolar and anxiety and working as a nurse just...

  16. UPMC Shadyside

    neverbethesame replied to Twinmom91's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    This is very typical of the more innocuous "junk" that you would have to put up with. Do not go to a Diploma school. Get your ADN then eventually do a bridge to BSN even MSN. Given that you are in...

  17. Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    neverbethesame replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    @ StaffNurseMcS- I applaud your bravery and willingness to protect patients. I truly am sorry that you are being treated poorly by your colleagues now but sad to say that I am not surprised. I hope...

  18. Cover Letters. Neccesary or waste of time?

    neverbethesame replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ALWAYS include a cover letter!!! It is an opportunity for you to SHINE! Share things about yourself that have no section on a resume and/or paint a picture for the "them" why all of your past work...

  19. The Night The Fire Died

    neverbethesame replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent. Too bad it's

  20. Should I Go to Med School?

    neverbethesame replied to contentment's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think your two bio profs were giving you a backhanded compliment at all. If you have a strong desire to be an MD, then do as so many have suggested research, shadow, question, weigh...

  21. Failed NCLEX

    neverbethesame replied to bsn3332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Could it be more of an anxiety thing and NOT a knowing the content thing? Like others have said, you passed nursing school and if you got to 265 you were close to passing. One of clinical...

  22. Nursing student with ADHD, struggling in clinical!

    neverbethesame replied to milksgalore's topic in General Students

    I tried PMing you again but was denied! Not sure why! Here is the important part of the PM: I was never consistent with herbals I bought so I am not sure what really works. I would research what...

  24. Fraudulent visits - yes I brought it up!

    neverbethesame replied to salvadordolly's topic in Home Health

    The US Postal Service implemented an "efficiency tool" where the carriers have handheld scanners and a barcode is placed somewhere on the mailbox and they scan it to show what time they delivered the...

    neverbethesame replied to jalws's topic in Emergency

    Wait, your new baby is hospitalized???? If that is the case, that "fail" is not legit at all in that no wonder you couldn't concentrate! I hope all works out
