    What would you do?

    Levitas replied to EaglesWings21's topic in General Students

    If it were me, I would have called 911 and let those on the clock handle it. If it was in my neighborhood, I might stop depending on how the situation looked. Knowing BLS/CPR is great, but also...

    I can't be excited

    Levitas replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    I can empathize, completely. It's hard to tell classmates that you're disappointed in that B, when you were so close to an A. They'll likely look at you like you're insane, and dismiss your feelings...

    Levitas replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Students

    We took an assigned ATI test at the end of every class. In my first year of nursing, we took the Fundamental ATI, and on the second year, we took an ATI for each class. For example: One for OB, Peds,...

    ATI for RN NCLEX

    Levitas replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do not know what the ATI Tutor is, but ATI was something we used through out our program. The comprehensive was one of my finals (to pass the entire program). That, and the HESI. I can't say for...

    You know, I think I finally get it. You're talking about BSN degrees, right? Now this may not be the case for everyone, but I attended an accelerated program (22months). That's eight week semesters,...
