I understand that this happens in multiple workplaces, I think somehow I didn't do enough to focus on what I wanted to say and put in too much backstory. I wanted ideas at how this could be addressed in nursing schools specifically to hopefully impro...

As I said, this was a recent example that was fresh in my mind, not the only time I've heard something similar (and not by way of eavesdropping, more like toxic gossip). My issue is when things like this transfer over into practice, not that people ...

Or that :)

I agree you can have an opinion on it, certainly! But the attitude it suggests is not one that is very accepting and although it wasn't shown in this example, it can be very damaging if the person involved catches wind

And very true, just something I thought might be nice to have addressed in a nursing program, we did not discuss workplace relations. For people who are just entering the workforce in general (I haven't worked as a nurse but have had other jobs) I t...

I think from what I've seen so far I can have a valid comment about the cultures that I have been apart of through school/work. From others I've talked with as well it seems that there are issues that start even in nursing school. So no, I can't co...

I certainly don't think you need to study with Uworld to pass, just a suggestion for people who aren't sure what resources to use. Just have confidence in yourself!

Maybe it's just the school I was in? It was very catty just in the clinicals, and the hospitals I was in also. I don't know if that's just how it is in my experience, but based on other threads I've read on here it seems to also be an issue for oth...

Well that certainly wasn't answering my question, and everyone can have their opinion on zoos. I think the point was first of all that I couldn't help but overhear them as I was sitting right next to their table, and it was one example that I've hea...

Medical/palliative floor! I'm so excited to start!

Which service/floor is your residency?

I don't know about CA, but on the NCSBN website it says to contact your BON if you haven't heard anything within 2 weeks (Authorization to Test | NCSBN). Did you apply on Pearson Vue?

Are there any libraries near you? You can always go to a library and check out NCLEX study guides for free and work through those. Maybe this article will help? How Foreign Trained Nurses Can Pass the NCLEX Exam. | International Nurse Support At t...

I think the biggest thing we heard is that if you have any hospital experience (which I'm sure you do since you are an LPN) to make sure that you do things by the book, not by what your experience dictates. (For example, there are some questions tha...

In what ways are you not ready to take the NCLEX? I only ask because it takes a while for those things to expire, and they typically recommend taking it as soon as possible after graduating your program. I think you will need to look at what your r...

I just graduated and am not working yet, but to me it sounds like a lot. You're already answering your question in a way by saying that you'll miss your babies. Will it really be worth it to you to be a bit more financially secure but not with your...

In a way I would say that paragraph is slightly useless, only because they will have the info on the resume. The cover letter should of course highlight your achievements, but not just be a laundry list of information, particularly if you are going t...

Hi All - Now I don't want this post to be taken by anyone offensively, but I do have to ask in order to make my decision regarding my future nursing plans. I am wondering about the quality of education in the MC nursing program. I got a BS from a u...

Congrats guys, just got my acceptance letter as well! Does anyone know what the quality of this nursing program is? Seems like the classes I've taken at Montgomery College so far are not too challenging, and I would prefer a rigorous nursing educat...

I dropped my application off in mid-July...I'm super nervous though! My TEAS is good, but won't be taking A&P1 and 2 until this coming fall semester! I hope it won't affect me too much...

It is all on computer, no essay.

It's so much better than stressing out waiting for ages!

If you take it on the computer you find out right away!

Mine was on the computer, but I know they still do give pencil and paper tests. (I took it on 05 June) I think the computer one is better because you don't have to worry about what your grade will be, you get instant results!
