Just a heads up, most hospitals require you to wear a mask during the entire shift- for all employees, not just nurses or nurses in specific jobs. If wearing a mask is a problem, you will likely have bigger problems than successfully taking NCLEX. We are definitely living in weird times, but as a nursing professionals we have to adapt- it’s just part of the gig.

I'm interested in the care bear schools, would someone let me in on it? I was in an RN program at a local community college, washed out in the 4th of 5 semesters- due to drill sergeant uncaring instructors that "eat their young" I am now in an Lpn program at another school, and they do the same. I didn't wash out of the RN program because I'm dumb, I can make a's in most any course outside of nursing with 0 studying at all! Where are these nurturing nursing schools? I am not opposed at all to working hard, I'm opposed to nursing instructors that think, " I can do it and have been where you are, you can do it to" and then telling you to go do a procedure you read in a book, having never seen it demoed or been officially taught it. Thought school was about being taught something, not just reading a book and being tested without being taught the theory behind something or being taught the application of the subject matter, and calling that critical thinking!

Whoohoo! Come on April 2013, ECPI, Raleigh! If I can make it through lpn school at ecpi, corrections should be a breeze!
