    Fiat40 replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is the physician's responsibility. I have worked in a lot of practices, it is just the way it is. It doesn't make it right by any means, but I am not sure there is anything anyone can do to...

  4. Apparently, everyone is a nurse! (rant)

    Fiat40 replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I used to be a CMA. I went to school to be a RN and I now officially hold that title. First off, I didn't call myself a nurse, though others in clinics would call me Dr. ___'s nurse because I was in...

    Fiat40 replied to Fiat40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  7. Passed

    Fiat40 replied to Fiat40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, and I got 76 questions. I was kinda freaked out because of the extra one, but thankful that I passed and that I didn't get 265, that would have been a LONG day. Just do not focus on how many...

  8. Passed

    Fiat40 replied to Fiat40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks all, shinarwin, you have my prayers! Kaplan scores were all over the place. Anywhere from 60-80. Mostly they were in the 60's and I didn't get to trainer 7, but 4 & 5 were low 60s and...

  9. Struggling with Nclex

    Fiat40 replied to Lela89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought Kaplan was helpful. Sometimes the questions on both Kaplan and NCLEX were tricky and I don't even know what they are talking about as a person with English as a 1st language. Did you do all...

  10. Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    Fiat40 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Fiat40 replied to demeanor89's topic in General Students

    Fiat40 replied to rm13's topic in General Students

    I graduate in May with my ADN. These are my 2 favorites areas as well. Not so much intertwined as you are talking about. I have worked as a Mental Health Technician in a psych hospital and I have...

    Fiat40 replied to hoosiertwin's topic in General Students

    Because I have a family I went to community college at $130/per credit hour. After I become an RN I hope to work somewhere that will pay for my BSN. I did get grants because I have 5 kids and my...

  14. Morehead University in Kentucky

    Fiat40 replied to sweetsommertime's topic in General Nursing

    My daughter went there for a semester. You either love it there or hate it. She didn't care for it, but I am sure it is good if you get involved, she just hated dorm life. I worked with a nursing...

    Fiat40 replied to infexious's topic in General Students

    Surprise, another narcissistic nursing student, like their weren't enough in my class alone. I will continue busting my hump to get through until May, too. I sure as heck do not care what my nursing...

    Fiat40 replied to cascadingbeauty's topic in General Students

  17. Does anyone enjoy Nursing School?

    Fiat40 replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

  21. Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    Fiat40 replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    Nursing school can be a huge hit to your self-esteem. You can be smart, and still sometimes not do as well as you want. My guess is that these people are full of pride on the outside but inside are...
