  1. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    Alloramadai replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PHMNPs where I needed preceptors were excited to help out. Remind those you are asking that their precepting hours count as CEUs. I quickly became an asset, helping with admissions and lightening...

  3. what did you think of the nclex?

    Alloramadai replied to yoshimi vs robots's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am just numb after taking my NCLEX Saturday. I had several questions "select all that apply" and many priority/delegation. I think (??) I had 86 questions - I know for sure it did not cut off at...

  4. Ahhh! 76 questions!!!????

    Alloramadai replied to citrine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel the EXACT same way! I took the exam this morning and had 86 questions. Strange content information. During the 2-1/2 hour drive home, I thought about all the margaritas I would consume once...

  6. Any other ppl have bad preceptors?

    Alloramadai replied to NewGrad07's topic in General Nursing

    I sat in a chair for 48 hours in a NICU with my preceptor - a brilliant nurse with 20+ years experience, but she was extremely possessive of "her babies." I was not allowed to check vitals or change...

  8. 4.0 GPA ...Great memorizing abilities.Yes...Good thinking/reasoning skills maybe not!

    Alloramadai replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    YES, Yes, and yes. Raise those standards. We had 160+ in our nursing class at the start. We are now just over 100. Some students are not able to perform basic math skills to complete a drug...

  9. Ethnic Hair ???

    Alloramadai replied to ebrown343's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The only issue I've seen was a nursing student (female) raising a stink in clinicals because they asked her to remove her doo rag. I can't remember ever seeing a woman wearing a doo rag, so was a...

  10. Podcasting lectures at UTHSC-H

    Alloramadai replied to ree-nee's topic in Texas Nursing

    I already listen to nursing lectures by Margaret Maag (search through iTunes) via the iPod. It's a great way to reinforce learning. I hope this is the wave of the future. I record class lectures on...

  12. How long did you breastfeed?

    Alloramadai replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am extremely thankful to see others breastfed as long as I did. Our daughter (17-years-old now) decided she wanted to explore other options at 6 months. Our son (13-years-old now) breastfed until...

  13. Nursing students fear of the gross stuff.

    Alloramadai replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as an EMT for several years, and saw some really (REALLY) gross stuff. However, the pace was so extreme that I never had time to be concerned with my facial expressions or to think about...

  14. What is the hardest nursing class?

    Alloramadai replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    Community Health. We were told by the instructor we were in the class just for "the experience." However, exams were over a textbook that was so dry.... I was thankful for the B I pulled in the...

    Alloramadai replied to piscesgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Any of Echo Heron's books are great nursing

  16. Ethics Issue: Would you report cheating

    Alloramadai replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will continue with my original plan of speaking with our BSN coordinator. However, I found it incredibly interesting that the mean score of our test yesterday was 67 - twice as many people failed...

  17. You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    Alloramadai replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    In my previous life as a firefighter, we were instructed not to wear tampons if we were fighting a fire as it would (true words) "scorch our innards." You betcha! And the pull string acts as a fuse,...

  18. Ethics Issue: Would you report cheating

    Alloramadai replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gosh, I see both sides of the argument. I personally would report them if I knew they were actually cheating. I think the decision is a strong moral issue, and I would worry about where to draw the...

  19. I know this was covered, but I can't find it-Shoes

    Alloramadai replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    I just bought my first pair of shoes; spent a little extra and got Quark Pro-Air II. My clinical lab class had a great time during "show and tell" passing them around the table. They are extremely...

  20. I'm thinking of Joining the Navy as a Nurse... ?

    Alloramadai replied to Wheaties's topic in Government, Military

    I am not too sure how the Navy works as we are Air Force. However, I understand the correlation between ranks. Your rank will be based on your degree. Are you working on a four-year BSN? In that...

  21. What Was Your G.P.A When You Got Accepted Into Your Nursing Program?

    Alloramadai replied to rayofsunshine's topic in General Students

    3.83. Have I mentioned that many complained because they weren't selected, so those with GPAs of 2.7 (!!!) were picked up at the last

  22. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    Alloramadai replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That seems like way too much to me. Do you want to complete the classes, or do you want to do well? It would be a shame to work so hard to take this quantity of classes, and not make the grades...

  23. Hi I'm new and want to know about NET

    Alloramadai replied to chprout's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the NET last Fall, and found it very gratifying. I have not had a math class in years (!), and the functions required on the NET I took were quite basic: figure percentages, ratios, simple...
