  1. Input, please? :-)

    monkeyhq replied to altmer_aldmeri's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ditto to all advice given above. Students are generally working at clinical under the license of their instructor, and through an agreement between the facility and the school. If an employee, or...

  2. Already got hw!!!

    monkeyhq replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    Yeah, until we figured out how to carve nursing clogs out of tree limbs. We stayed warm by waiting for lightening to strike a tree to start a

  3. Petite Scrubs!

    monkeyhq replied to MissCoCoKit_E's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I nearly forgot about Wonderwink...they have a great cut! Glad you found something you like.

  4. What does your username mean?

    monkeyhq replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    My sons are primates, and our home is their

  5. Already got hw!!!

    monkeyhq replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    Only 100 pages? Pfffft, that is nothing (tongue firmly planted in cheek) . Back in my day (hahaha), we had 150 pages of reading for six different classes and subjects, plus two case studies, NCLEX...

  6. Good pop up for 172 questions exam. Waiting for the official result anxiously!

    monkeyhq replied to icey0710's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have yet to meet a nurse who walked out of the NCLEX thinking "Yeah, I aced that ****". Everyone I have ever met thought they failed, including me. If you got the good pop-up, that's a wonderful...

  7. reported a nurse stealing narcs and not giving meds, shes friends with the DON :(

    monkeyhq replied to CynicallyVexed's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    One question: Did they whiz quiz everyone? In most places (in my area anyway), if a med is missed & frequent errors are happening, everyone in the building is peeing in a cup, including the DON,...

  8. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    monkeyhq replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome news!

  9. LPN working as a PCT

    monkeyhq replied to MrsJoest's topic in LPN to RN

    It is entirely up to you! If you feel you need a refresher on the basics, then it is a good idea to do something involving direct patient care, or do a quick review course. Most new hires go through...

  10. Petite Scrubs!

    monkeyhq replied to MissCoCoKit_E's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love the Med Couture Moda pant, petite, and I am exactly the same size as you. I take an XSP in the pants. I also really love the Koi side zip Zara/Sara pant. XSP. Comfy, and a great fit! The...

  11. Any chance the Pearson Vue Trick is wrong?

    monkeyhq replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got 85 questions before the test shut down. I was certain I failed. I got so many 'put this in order' questions, select all that apply, and truly difficult questions. At one point, I got six...

  12. LPN working as a PCT

    monkeyhq replied to MrsJoest's topic in LPN to RN

    Many hospitals in my area require their PCT's to be nursing students in an RN program or have an LPN. The pay is quite low, however. Have you considered working for the State in a state funded...

  13. Could he be right?

    monkeyhq replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't wish for it to be removed, just merged with the original posters thread to whom I was replying. I think having her original thread here will put my response in context to her specific issue,...

  14. Could he be right?

    monkeyhq replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now this is exceptionally strange, when I search the title of this thread (the title of which was created by the OP), the following comes up: [TABLE=class: gsc-table-result, width: 689] [TR]...

    monkeyhq replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you! I will contact a

  16. Best routine to study for Excellsior Exam on your own

    monkeyhq replied to gvminas's topic in Excelsior College

    Here are some open education resources for Excelsior College that may be helpful. Excelsior does a pretty fantastic job of reviewing and suggesting good resources for specific exams: Excelsior...

  17. Could he be right?

    monkeyhq replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am SUPER CONFUSED! I did not POST this Topic. I replied to a posting from a young (brand new) nursing student who was told by her CPR instructor that "maybe you shouldn't be a nurse". It is so...

  18. The real reason your failing in school

    monkeyhq replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    It is amazing how large the disparity is in some areas. I would want to move out of SD,

  19. Could he be right?

    monkeyhq replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a nurse, and I have seen 'unkind' behaviors toward many students, and even experienced some myself from other nurses (when I was in clinical rotation). You need to be like a duck, and let it roll...

    monkeyhq replied to girl8989's topic in School, College Programs

    Avoid them at all costs! Read here: https://allnurses.com/excelsior-college-online/news-college-network-941641.html This is the most recent thread regarding TCN, and to summarize: They are under...

  22. Signing Off......

    monkeyhq replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes the bad pop-up is wrong. Is your state on two-day results, or do you have to wait for the mail? I am still hopeful for you and wish we could all give you a great big

  23. The real reason your failing in school

    monkeyhq replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    The salary differential has to do with a lot of factors--state, city, and local, and really has nothing to do with how many nursing 'schools' are in the area. It has to do with the local economy,...

  24. Silliest answer someone has said in class?

    monkeyhq replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This woman was confused about everything, I honestly don't know how she made it. A 35 year old woman saying something so ridiculous about breast cancer is just incomprehensible. Thank you for the...

  25. Silliest answer someone has said in class?

    monkeyhq replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This one has no humor, but ranks as one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard from a student...in any program. I almost resorted to just running her over in the parking lot (to save other women...
