    Fun and enlightening discussion?

    Levitas replied to quirkystudent's topic in General Students

    Hmm, this could be taken two ways for myself. The most important skill? Or the absolute most important concept? I'll go with the latter and say, treat the patient as a human being, (how you'd want to...

    How do Female View Males in the Nursing Profession?

    Levitas replied to JUN3UG's topic in General Students

    Whether or not any would admit it, (or even if they can admit it to their self), there will always be some form of bias, as it pertains to males and females working together. It may be a thought, a...

    Levitas posted a topic in General Students

    Today was the last day of Nursing school for me We had to take a HESI, and ATI final, and needed to pass one or the other to graduate. I completely obliterated both! I am now a GN! I don't really...

    Lutheran School of Nursing

    Levitas replied to 2bNurseMustang's topic in General Nursing

    I took my prerequisites there, but don't let it get you down. I think it's easier to get into the Bridge program rather than starting from fresh. About the HESI, my class had to take it (I just took...

    Being an ER Nurse, is it worth it?

    Levitas posted a topic in Emergency

    Some back round info - I'm graduating from a Diploma based R.N. program this Sunday, and I had my eyes aimed towards Med-Surg. I'm even in the midst of interview processes for SSM Futures, in which I...

    Being an ER Nurse, is it worth it?

    Levitas replied to Levitas's topic in Emergency

    I really appreciate all of the advice, guys I'm going to apply, and go for it. If I get hired, I might just take it. I've come to realize that I am a lot like what many of you describe as what it...

    Lutheran School of Nursing

    Levitas replied to 2bNurseMustang's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any experience personally with the LPN-RN bridge program, but I am graduating from Lutheran this Sunday!! Woot woot! From what I understand, they will accept certain Pre-Reqs, but you'll...

    Which stethoscope should I buy as a Nursing student?

    Levitas replied to NursingStoodent's topic in General Students

    This is what I bought initially, and I love it. I can hear very well with it, no discomfort, and Littman offers a very nice manufacturers warranty (5 years, I believe). Never lost them, but I bent...

    What's a graduate nurse to do?

    Levitas posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone! Forgive me if this isn't the correct place to put this thread, I just figured it would apply seeing as this is the 'General', or non-specific area. First off, my name is Adam. I'm...

    What's a graduate nurse to do?

    Levitas replied to Levitas's topic in General Students

    Has anyone went straight into the ER post-graduation with no prior experience? If so, did you adjust well? To anyone that has/does work in the ER: Is it worth

    Psycho Psych Instructor

    Levitas replied to Ruba's topic in General Students

    I loved my Psych teachers! One of them is my mentor as I'm entering the last couple of days of school. I didn't do very well in Psych, but their material was some of the most consistent, and I...

    Pharmacology - SO MUCH INFO!

    Levitas replied to Lizzle15's topic in General Students

    I'm not an RN yet, but I will say that most of the critical meds have never left my mind... likely due to the fact that it hasn't been very long since I learned them However! Many of those critical...

    when patient refuse to take the medicine?

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

    Can you post all of the answers, please? Edit: Out of those two, #2 would be it for sure. The patient has the right to refuse any treatment, that includes medication. It just sounds odd the way it's...

    I'm tired.

    Levitas replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    Hang in there! Earlier this year, during my Advanced Med-Surg and Psych rotations, I went through a bout of depression, and it hit me hard. I had trouble focusing, and felt like no matter how much I...

    Failed nclex at 2nd attempt with 265 questions and devastated!

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

    That's the thing, you weren't doing so horrible if you made it to 265. The computer couldn't make up its mind, thus why you had more questions. What did you do this time that was different from the...

    How many men in your cohort?

    Levitas replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That was a very well thought out reply. Thank you, I appreciate hearing your opinion on the matter. I'm not saying that I completely disagree, but I just feel so dirty of the idea being

    when patient refuse to take the medicine?

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

    Depends. Did the question specify what has already been done? Does it say what type of medication it is? What are all of the choices? Can you type the question out as well? I'd say, unless it's a...

    Kaplan Qbank

    Levitas replied to atom2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you could, can you ask them what % is recommended for the question trainers and qbanks? I did the first question trainer yesterday (75 questions), and got a 74.6% I wanna know where I stand as I'm...

    How many men in your cohort?

    Levitas replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If it's unofficial, then how do you know that it's true? Not trying to pick a fight, but, is this an assumption? Word of mouth? Have you experience in Nursing School Admissions beyond that of a...
