    Offering money to switch clinical sites? Ethical?

    springchick1 replied to chewychipsahoy's topic in General Students

    Why is this unethical? It's not like they are trying to pay someone to do clinicals for them. Maybe a different clinical site would be closer to home/a day that works better for them/ etc. Let it go....

    How many NClex questions did you practice during nursing school?

    springchick1 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    I use NCLEX questions to study for all my test. I think it's extremely helpful. Make sure you have a book that gives the rationale. It's the most helpful

    Conflict with a coworker

    springchick1 replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    Seems a little extreme to jump right to HR. Why not try to talk to the girl again and them if it doesn't get better, you can say something to your manager. But you will learn that people are going to...

    Should I miss the first day of nursing class?

    springchick1 replied to brianna1's topic in General Students

    #2. Go straight to the source. Your instructor may be a little more lenient about things like that then the department head. And trust me, they are BIG about following the chain of command. Hospital...
