  1. Men in the (nursing) field

    kfostercma replied to futuremurse21's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have not secured employment as an RN yet, but I have worked in a clinic for about four years as a CMA, and I haven't noticed any differences in the way I am treated versus my colleagues. I have not...

  2. How to sell my Medical Assisting experience

    kfostercma posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello nurses! I get it, RN experience does not a CMA make, but I do believe that at least some of the skills I have learned as a medical assistant will overlap into the nursing profession. The...

  3. How to sell my Medical Assisting experience

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As much as I hate being wrong, mvm2, I hope I'm wrong

  4. DESPERATE for help & advice!

    kfostercma replied to hbanga's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also, I second what Valx92 says about Hurst. I did not use the program myself, however a coworker of mine did. He passed the test in 75 questions, as did many of his classmates who also used Hurst....

  5. DESPERATE for help & advice!

    kfostercma replied to hbanga's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is really bad luck. I am deeply sorry to hear that. I only used Kaplan for study prep, and that was because the cost was included in my tuition. I am not a model student, and I passed the NCLEX...

  6. Mild irritation at our lab tech.

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see. Thank you for the replies, everyone. I guess you're right, even a barely visible spot of blood is sloppy. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the message I am hearing is something like...

  7. Mild irritation at our lab tech.

    kfostercma posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This one is a little strange, but here I go: I am a medical assistant (I am taking my NCLEX in less than two weeks though) and I work in a research clinic. All of the medical assistants and nurses...

  8. How I passed NCLEX-RN 2014

    kfostercma replied to Rachey1331's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am glad you posted this, especially about results. I have been studying really hard--and I too wouldn't describe myself as a "lazy" student, but I did feel like I was time constrained throughout...

  9. Kaplan woes....

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Right, BrittyRN. The Qbanks and Trainer tests are available for reviewing questions, I think their content tests too. But the controlled tests like the Predictors have a different way of remidiating....

  10. Kaplan woes....

    kfostercma posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does anyone remember my rant from last week when I got butthurt over a few minor problems at the Pearson Vue website? So I took my Kaplan Predictor #2 last night, and I got a lower score than I...

  11. Pearson Vue woes

    kfostercma posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am a recent graduate of a nursing program in Minnesota, and it looks like the only business that offers NCLEX testing is one called Pearson Vue. I have some complaints about them and I haven't even...

  12. Pearson Vue woes

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All good points, and I will take your suggestions under advisement. In my defense, flying off the handle like this isn't what is normal for me. Everyone has a breaking point; we can only tolerate so...

  13. Pearson Vue woes

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe, but it got your attention didn't it? I find it amusing that you think I am not in the "real world" yet. Real world as opposed to what,

    That's

  15. Pearson Vue woes

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If I was speaking to them professional to professional I would have chosen my words more carefully. This time however, I am a paying customer and I am well within my rights to use abusive language to...

  16. Pearson Vue woes

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The problem wasn't that my card was expired, the error prompt I got didn't reflect it; that is what makes it their

  17. Pearson Vue woes

    kfostercma replied to kfostercma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you, BSNINTHEWORKS, and very astute. Yes, there are other things bothering me with how my final clinical rotation went; a topic for another time, but it involved interrogations, grammar police...
