Hi all. Anyone have any experience with an ADN program in Minnesota not being accredited. I was just informed that the lpn-rn bridge program that I'm supposed to start in 4 weeks lost their accreditation ( I believe early last year). They ARE list...
CPR instructor. You can obtain your certification through American Heart, Red Cross, American Safety and Health Institute, as well as a few other organizations. I can only speak for how the AHA works, but you are required to be aligned with a trai...
That's what I was thinking! "Just comply"??!! This is why nursing schools pull this crap; because they can. They hold the futures of their students over their heads and bank on the fact students will be too afraid to fight back out of fear of thro...
Boy, talk about nursing "eating their young!" Why are you guys busting on the OP for writing about how she's feeling? Are all you "I never bring my work home with me, me and my husband have the perfect arrangement because I know I don't need to be ...

I did Chem, Biology and A&P 1 in the same semester (I called my BioAnatIstry semester), and I worked and I have a son. I was ALOT, and there were times when I thought I would go insane, but I ended up with 2 Bs and an A, so it is do-able (it's n...

On that note, I totally get where StuckintheMiddle is coming from, and EMT (less time in training than Paramedic) or Paramedic may have been a good choice. I come from a Paramedic background (10 years) and chose to go into Nursing to (hopefully) fin...
I'm quite frustrated with my RN program at this point. How is giving us an exam that only 5 out of 40+ people passed at all helpful? My clinical group has 6 days of clinicals scheduled for this semester, and in all reality, we are only going to spe...

Wow, ColleenRN2B, that was really rude. I guess noone realized you are the perfect nurse "2B". You should remember that attitude when you make your first mistake as a new RN and come on here looking for a little support.

@ crufflerjj - also VERY well put. As a Paramedic currently going thru RN school (only to get better pay), you have very well stated some of the "truths" of the job. I get very frusterated with those, especially those in the medical field, who thin...

I know many may think who goes backwards? Why would you assume that others would be thinking "who goes backwards?" If that's what YOU think, you might want to reconsider. I've been a Paramedic for 8 years, and trust me, Paramedics have a whole lo...
Hello all. I've been coming to this discussion forum for several weeks now, picking up all the great tips and encouragement, but have never posted anything until now. Just thought I'd share my day quick..... Took nclex pn today; when all was said a...
Thanks sheryl18 and myprideandjoy! I primarily used Kaplan QBank, but I also downloaded Saunders NCLEX review on my iPhone to use when I was away from my computer. Out of the two, Kaplan seemed to be the most similiar to NCLEX. I'm soooo glad it's...
