I am not sure if anyone here can answer this question. You will need to bring your transcript to the select BSN and ADN programs and ask what credits will transfer in to their program. This will give you an idea of what will be left and how long it...

Hello DiabeticNurse101. I would not request special accommodations as they can take months to be approved, delaying your possible testing date. It is EBP that students should take the NCLEX as soon as they graduate to improve their chances of passi...

This may be the wrong location for this thread but I was hoping to get some input. I am finishing my first year as a new nurse educator and have had issues with students being prepared for class. For first-year fundamentals students, I provide read...

I believe that this is also what I am up against. We are in an impoverished area which also affects education. Many of my students do not have the student skills necessary at the collegiate level. I do not wish to disparage our other educational s...

This is a great idea. I tried it once, and it negatively impacted their grade. I want to implement this so that it might reinforce the material without consequences. I know this sounds contradictory, but it is not my intention to fail students. I...

Yes, but I am applying my morals and values to current students. I would be frightened not to be prepared for class or miss assignments. This may be one of MY problems. I agree; I dismissed this immediately. She was concerned about highlig...

Wonderful, thanks for the response. It does state 4-5 hours for class prep in my syllabus, but the performance has shown me that this is not happening. The five students that currently are excelling are putting in the work. The students still are ...

I want to caution you not to go down the easy path. Seeking varied questions is fine but do not try to seek the questions that might show up on the exam. Any good instructor will notice a drastic change in performance. What I did while in nurs...

I do not know if your preceptor did this on purpose and allow you to fail. There are nurses like this and it baffles me. I will tell you what I tell my students, "this person showed you the type of nurse you do not want to be, don't be like her." ...

This article sounds very unreal. In the ICU, the number of patients I have ever cared for at one time was three. That was a long hard night, I don't think I ever sat down. How do 2 nurses take care of 10 ventilator patients AND a normal patient lo...

I attended GCU, which by some descriptions would be considered a large Brick and Mortar university that offers online and distance learning. I was not impressed with what I learned, but not sure why. Part of me expected to learn a multitude of info...

I am sorry. I do not know what to say but I am sorry. I am in a similar position about the nursing position. I wish I can provide I information that would help but I cannot. I empathize with you and hove no solution. I am sorry but feel for you.

Just relax and wait for your score. Have a drink and smile because there is nothing you can do about it now. I cannot be sure, but only seeing 75 questions is a good indicator that you have passed. A good indicator of success but still not a sure...

At my facility, you have no choice. When you are hired, either a new grad or with some experience, you must enroll in the residency program. If you have more than 2 years prior experience you only have to complete the skills and knowledge tests and...

I had planned this long post that would have been mean spirited, but now I cannot do it. Passed with 75 questions in a little more than 1.5 hours. I would correlate this set of facts with how these male nurses were prepared. I would ask them wher...

Go to the DORA Colorado website and verify your license. I never received an email like that when I passed but it has been a while ago and things change. If you did pass then congratulations.

I do like it but I do not enjoy being contacted by my program mentor every week. Every week they call to make sure you are doing okay and make goals for the week. I am a very independent worker and don't need her to help make my goals. A couple of...

There are many of them now. I placed a few more around her facebook page. If I only knew how to twitter..... ?

Hello, I just finished my first class for the BSN-MSN Nursing Education Track. So far it hasn't been exceptionally stressful other than currently having two jobs and trying to fit in school work.

After returning a patient to our Med/Surg floor a nurse thought I promptly deserved an incident report. Seems like I returned the patient to the floor with make-up (blush) across the abdomen. How careless I was to drop it on the patient and then no...

Found it quick: Hoodie: NURSE - BADASS LIFE SAVER | Teespring T-Shirt: NURSE SHIRT | Teespring The hoodie comes in red, I have the t-shirt in blue...

I will search for it tomorrow, it is late tonight. It was printed on a lot of different types and colors of shirts. It was a couple years ago so I hope it is still around..

Front of shirt: NURSE Back of shirt: Only Because Badass Lifesaver Isn't Actually A Job Title One of the first things I bought with my first paycheck.

I can understand your frustrations about the instructors but the list going around has been quite useless for most of us. Only one of my instructors were on the list so it was not helpful. The best strategy is to open the classroom the Friday or Sa...

Congrats!!! Feels nice, doesn't it? Don't worry about the final grades, it wont change anything. just get on with your life. within a month I had my diploma and transcripts.
