  1. Why Nursing Sucks...

    malenurseFl replied to pixiern15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My nursing experiences have not been the greatest. I have many family members in the medical field. All but one is looking for a way out. I'm getting out of nursing also. Thankfully, I don't have a...

  2. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    malenurseFl replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Use something like gradreports to see real reviews of nursing programs at schools before applying. A majority of for profit colleges aren't teaching properly. Leading to a huge number of people...

  3. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    malenurseFl replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Starting in 2010, the military wants a minimum of 1-2 years acute care experience before you can become a commissioned officer. As for a job there are many places to apply outside of a hospital. If...

  4. The 265 question question

    malenurseFl posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my nclex RN last night. I went all the way to the end. I know all about the PVT. I did it for my LPN but, I don't want to check it for this exam. I studies a long time using Hurst, Uworld, and...

  5. The 265 question question

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

    It's been especially difficult studying. Without getting into a big explanation, my R.N. school was one of those scammy places with low pass rates. This was my 2nd

  6. PASSED NCLEX with 265 Questions

    malenurseFl replied to missbreez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Although I'm nervous about getting 265 last night, I'd be more upset if it cut off early. It looks like most people who pass get 75 questions or

  7. Passed Nclex RN!

    malenurseFl replied to ChocolateNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's incredible! Congratulations on passing!. You are now in the grueling 265 question success

  8. New Grad Still No Job

    malenurseFl replied to TrustGod9's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Take any job you think you can handle. The reason I say this is, some employers have unreasonable expectations of nursing staff. If you live in a big city, you may want to apply to smaller towns....

  9. Is Rasmussen a good school for nursing?

    malenurseFl replied to lor.jeann's topic in School, College Programs

    The quality of education for nursing at many Rasmussen campuses is abysmal. 50-60% overall NCLEX pass rates are terrible. I'm surprised this company is still in

  10. The private college cash grab

    malenurseFl posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Due to the high rejection rates by public colleges for nursing, Florida has become inundated by private schools. They promise a competitive education to the public schools and a chance to be a...

  11. The private college cash grab

    malenurseFl replied to malenurseFl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Im only very infrequently on the any nursing forum. I dont have experience with other private colleges so I wouldn't know if students were getting passed along without putting in the effort. Ive...

  13. The private college cash grab

    malenurseFl replied to malenurseFl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Many of the RN schools in Florida are very new. Even my former LPN instructors were unable to offer guidance regarding private colleges. The state keeps official pass rates for every nursing program....

  14. The private college cash grab

    malenurseFl replied to malenurseFl's topic in Florida Nursing

    I graduated from a public LPN program. No one failed the NCLEX. The public RN program has a nearly 100 percent pass rate. RN graduates are not being taught correctly for pass rates to be that

  15. The private college cash grab

    malenurseFl replied to malenurseFl's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was checking official nclex pass rates for all rn programs in the state for 2014. My school is maintaining 66 percent. Many others are @ 25 to 50 percent. Its down right fraudulent. I've just...

  16. Help! ATI

    malenurseFl replied to Kagemaru's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not a fan of ATI. My school requires a huge amount of work besides exams and clinicals. ATI is mandatory but, it takes too much time away from studying for exams or working other

  18. Misdirected aggression

    malenurseFl posted a topic in General Nursing

    When someone asks you what you do for a living, do you hesitate? I'm a nurse and an R.N. next year. It's gotten so I don't like to tell people that I'm a nurse. Instead of friendliness or even...

  19. Misdirected aggression

    malenurseFl replied to malenurseFl's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like its a socioeconomic problem. I am a little surprised that more nurses haven't encounter this. Looks like the answer is to move to an area of greater prosperity. Thank you everyone for your...

  22. Misdirected aggression

    malenurseFl replied to malenurseFl's topic in General Nursing

    No one tells me anything and that's why I wanted to ask on this board. It really gets old fast. Everyone around seems to think being a nurse = wealth. I'm sure not seeing wealth from being a nurse. It...

  23. new nurse, trouble already

    malenurseFl posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I ended up at what unbeknownst to me was the worst ltc facility in my area. I'm now deep into a state investigation. I'm catching all the blame. I was informed that I've potentially violated two state...

  25. new nurse, trouble already

    malenurseFl replied to malenurseFl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I just wish this hadn't happened on the weekend. I can't get a consultation until Monday. I'm just in complete shock as I've only been a nurse a few
