  1. I Hate People (my rant)

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes you will encounter people who aren't at their "weakest points." You're going to have to deal with patients, their friends, family, loved ones, coworkers, etc. It's kind of important to be a...

  2. "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my opinion I think its important that every nurse gets a BSN eventually. I don't think it should be the minimal requirement. I have my associates and I am in an RN-BSN program now. We all hold the...

  3. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion the author of the article is basically saying nurses aren't as smart as doctors, or other majors for that matter. I know doctors know more when it comes to treating the disease process....

  4. RN being bullied by LVN

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to BDBSNRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She sounds miserable. If I were you I would try to have a civil conversation with her, "I feel that as though you're aggravated with me, do you want to talk about your concerns?" If she can't be civil...

  5. Anyone ever just do KAPLAN QBANK only? Thoughts?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to PVL_RN86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is all I did to study for NCLEX (along with Lacharity's Priority and Delegation book). I had friends who bought the whole Kaplan class and said they wished they just bought the Qbank because that...

  6. recent nclex RN takers, which prep did you use?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to corann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I bought the Kaplan QBank and did questions from Lacharity's Priority and Delegation book. My school also had us use ATI throughout our program. I took NCLEX June 1st. Good

  7. The Truth About Nursing

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    Well to try to get your friend to save money you should let her know that most states let you challenge the CNA exam after taking fundamentals of nursing, so paying for a CNA course isn't worth it....

  8. 12 Hour Shifts and What to Bring?

    AlwaysLearning247 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone! I am starting my first nursing job on Monday. I'll be doing 3 12 hour shifts. I was wondering if anyone has tips on stuff to pack for lunch/dinner that keeps you energized during your...

  9. Resident fell, now I'm fired

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to gonegirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Everyone makes mistakes and it is not worth beating yourself up over. You will find another job. I know how difficult it can be as a CNA in LTC, I was one in nursing school for a while. There is so...

  10. all 265 questions...can i still pass?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to lizzard13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed with 265 questions. The number doesn't determine if you passed/failed. Good

  11. Failed nclex 3 timee

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to Wimberlym's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am sorry. I used the Kaplan QBank and Lacharity's Priority and Delegation book. I concentrated on the rationales on every single question, even if they were correct. Those were really helpful for...

  12. FAILED IN 99 questions

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to amysiuk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Change up your study plan and concentrate on how to answer questions, they can be tricky. I am not sure what you used to prepare but my program had us do ATI and I bought the Kaplan QBank and...

  13. Nclex 6hours and 265 questions..

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to ethilp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know how stressful this is for you, I took my NCLEX on June 1st. I also had 265 questions. I paid for quick results and found out I passed. If your state participates in quick results I recommend...

  14. New Grad...Is this typical?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    It is normal for a new grad nurse to feel that way. Most of us don't get all the experience we need for the real world in school. You'll learn more when you start working as a nurse. Please don't ever...

  15. NP or PA?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to nsc2x's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am sorry all you have seen is hostile nurses, that is not what nursing is like everywhere. I would certainly not let that discourage you from choosing nursing. There are tons of other places to...

  16. Seeking good advices for working as a PCT at the hospital

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to jlcool's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Congrats on getting your first hospital job! When I was in nursing school I worked as a CNA at a nursing home then got into the recovery room in a hospital. Time management is key. I always made a...

  17. PRN- Should I feel bad?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to fifiandclea's topic in General Students

    You do not have to feel bad, you got the job knowing you had to only work a certain amount of shifts per month and agreed to that. It is not on you that everyone is quitting/getting fired. I did the...

  18. Rn Nclex

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to 2bRnluv4lif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you fail the exam you get a report showing if you were below passing, close to passing, etc. The test is pass/fail. If you're above the line then you pass and do not need to see your performance...

  19. Any CNA to RN programs???

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to Amkropski's topic in General Nursing

    I have never seen a CNA-RN program because even in Fundamentals you learn about the nursing process, which is not in a CNA's scope of practice. I am sure if you took the sciences they would transfer...

  20. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear that! They were excellent with me. I didn't feel rushed or pushed into anything. I had an admissions person talk to me on the phone and I applied with her. When I got accepted I got...

  21. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    I had a nurse at one of the hospitals I worked at tell me stats at SNHU isn't bad, she said she isn't a math person either. We will both be taking stats in September though so I hope she is

  22. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! That is exciting! Maybe we will be in some of the same classes :) I am taking stats in September, along with the first nursing

  23. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    Perioperative is great. I had the opportunity to work in that area as a nursing assistant and plan to go back when I get some experience. I've always had an interest in PACU, OR, critical care, and...

  24. Clinical sites, you choose or you're assigned?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to level1's topic in General Students

    When I was in school they put the clinical locations up on the website so we could register for them, first come first serve. The last few semesters they sent out an email and we had to reply with our...

  25. CNA Peer Interview -Hospital

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to Annlee17's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I did a peer interview at my current nursing assistant position in the recovery room. Don't stress too much, they called you back because they like you. I met with the charge nurse and one other...
