    What to expect now...

    barcode120x replied to c_hutcheson's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It pretty comes down to yourself. I had a few classmates that never had to touch the book (aside from references, careplans and such) and got straight A's. Some, like myself, have to bury ourselves in...

    barcode120x posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Been browsing these forums and for the most part, I see people passing NCLEX at numbers than end in "0" or "5". Just thought that it was odd that my test shut off at after my 94th question (or would...

    barcode120x replied to UcheAnyiam's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I doubt I'm not the only one that doesn't want a nurse that won't provide supportive teamwork and just "figure it out on your own." You did however, provide the formula, but instead of just assuming...

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in California Nursing

    Honestly, there is not a much a big difference between the current edition versus the older edition; however, use the older edition at your own risk. It's better to use a current edition. Let's say...

    They actually do recommend LVNs start from the beginning because what it boils down to is that RN and LVNs are different and provide different levels of care. If anything, 1st semester will be a...

    Awkward moment?

    barcode120x replied to Soran's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not at all, but I can see that happening in my future, but all I can say is respect what the patient wants. If she doesn't want you in next time, grab someone else, otherwise go in and do it! We too...
