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 change it. I guess as long as I am not responsible for...

Found out today that on Monday I slayed the dragon-NCLEX. Just me and a little brain. All things are possible with God, I believe it. Here is my study plan: Kaplan NCLEX Mastery Those 2 NCLEX study guides that are floating around on allnurses were A...

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 that role. The last practice I worked at actually...

No, I did not use the Kaplan videos, just due to lack of time. I used Saunders and textbooks to study anything that I needed to clarify.

Wow, way to persevere, Congrats to you!! :)

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 questions it is. When I hit 76 I was mentally ready for...

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 trainer 6 was 70. The last several q-banks I did were i...

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 of the QBANK, and all of the trainers?? I am just...

Narcissism, there is a book called The Narcissm Epidemic that would shed some light on this topic. I will just be honest, true narcissistic personality disorder is rare, but narcissistic traits are everywhere and very accepted. I am getting ready to ...

As much as you hate those questions, taking about a hundred/day of prep-u got me out of this rut you are in. My brain works fast, and passes over things, you have to slow down and read the rationales. Practice is the only way, just like anything else...

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 worked as a Med. Assistant for an OB/GYN clinic for bo...

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 husband is the only one working but has a good job. It ...

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 student from there, the program did not seem near as i...

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 instructors or anyone else in the world thinks ab...

I truly believed and wondered for the first year of nursing school what in the world I had gotten myself into. I have worked in healthcare and with doctors for the last 20 years of my life and had NO idea what becoming a nurse entailed. I hated nursi...

I am in an ADN program. I hated the first year. No matter how hard I studied I still failed a test or 2 especially in the beginning. A very big adjustment. It is so darn aggravating to work your butt off studying and still get failing grades. I manag...

I am a 3rd semester ADN student, I have a patient that is newborn, her mother had chorionamnionitis and the baby has an elevated white count, positive CRP and is on antibiotic therapy for infection already. My instructor helped me figure out a nursin...

That is what I started working on after I posted this. Thank you so much, that helps a lot!

I would go for a 2 year RN program, once you get that RN, you can work and make good money and work on your bachelor's online, that is what I hope to do!

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 very weak and insecure-you know-narcissists, it is ...

Well, I am 1/2 way into the first semester of an ADN progam. First test 72%, second test 74%. You have to have a 77% at the end of the semester. I want you to know that I studied. I quit my job to focus on school. I do have a house, kids and lots of...

thank you so much. I love to listen to books and I am so glad that you suggested the Prentice Hall, I am downloading it now. I always have to clean up before I can study, clutter really distracts me, too. Again, thanks for your help!

Thanks for all of your suggestions! These are great! I know I need to study the NCLEX questions more. I just feel that there is so much material and only so many hours in a day. It is to say the least completely overwhelming!! I just restarted m...

I have been there and done some of this! I was a home daycare operator for 6 years. My marriage has been rocky and I have 5 children. I left for a little while this spring. However, I chose to come back and work on my marriage and finish nursing sc...
