And the "I passed NCLEX-RN after ___ attempts, and here's how I did it"

How many threads to we need on this topic, really??? Can't this thread be locked, or at least added to the dozen or so others that are currently on this site that talk about the same thing?

nycnurse92- I like the fact that you used the word "eschew" in your post. It's an underused word, in my opinion...

I worked for years with women who were pre-, peri-, or post-menopausal. Therefore, it was a steady diet of hot flashes and cold flashes. Being a man, I learned to never comment on the room temperature...

What does BSBM stand for? I looked it up, and all I found was bachelors of science in business management, and bible study by mail. Medical doctors and osteopathic doctors both attend four years of medical school, after which they both must obtain li...

Here is the abstract for an article that looks at staffing ratios and nurse education levels and how they relate to patient outcomes (this was written by Aiken as well): Nurse staffing and education and hospital mortality in nine European countries: ...

We, as a profession, need to stop thinking of this issue as being all about us. This has to do with what is best for our patients, and what is best for the profession as a whole. There is published research that proves that patients cared for by bach...

Can the "I don't like the BSN degree" discussion have its own permanent thread here at AN? That will streamline this process a great deal...

You said that you are a "foreigner". Have you spoken with other nurses who are of your nationality? Perhaps you could get some pointers as far as developing American customs & behaviors within the workplace. That might help. Being intelligent and...

Have you tried to make an appointment with an advisor from that school? They may be able to assist you in the specifics of getting into their program. Best of luck to you.

When I took the NCLEX-RN (paper & pencil), it took 4-6 weeks to get results in the mail. Yes, it was a while ago...

Tax dollars??? It's a private institution. There are no "tax dollars" involved.

This sounds like just a silly prank. I believe the word "bullying" is beginning to be overused in the work place. An isolated prank does not rise to the level of bullying, in my opinion. This is the definition of the term, from the Workplace Bullyin...

I was a clinical instructor for eight years. None of my students hid in the conference room, believe me. There were students, however, who did have instructors who allowed them to hide. And these students liked it! Too many students want "easy" instr...

Paramedics perform tasks. I'm not saying that these are unimportant tasks, but they are tasks. There is much more to being a nurse than simply performing tasks. That's the difference.

I believe that one day we will all be judged. So, therefore, it is not our place to judge others. Thank you for sharing your very personal story.

I hope it's a homework question. I would hate to think a nurse could walk out on his/her patients in the middle of a shift.
