1. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   ajmclean replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   Why do I bother with such myopic posts? The military experience I related to, as well as EMS experience in previous posts, are example or analogies to similar situations experienced in nursing with...

2. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   ajmclean replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   I was mistaken when I said I posted my last reply. This post demands a reply. I didn't read anywhere in this thread that anyone was "owed an education". One specific point I made previously was that...

3. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   ajmclean replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   Not rude, just assertive. As I reply for the last time, since I know nothing as I'm only a student, the floor nurse is HELPING the student put into practice what they have been TAUGHT in SCHOOL. I...

5. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   ajmclean replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   My clinical instructor gives great guidance. However, she can't access the computer, Pyxis, etc. She can't be with the several students at once, so it falls to the floor nurse you're working with. It...

6. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   ajmclean replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   Not your responsibility? Ask your hospital what they say your responsibility is concerning students. Geez. Whose responsibility was it when you were trained as a

7. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   ajmclean replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   Thanx for the dismissive reply. It is noncontributory. Work experience has NOTHING to do with work ethic. Let me elucidate. My experience is clinical and prehospital; military and EMS. My clinical...

8. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   ajmclean replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   WRONG. The floor nurses are there to help; to instruct, to mentor. The hospital accepted the students, therefore that is part of the mission as well as patient care. As for quicker and easier, that is...

9. Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

   ajmclean replied to cambrose's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   This post caused me to think of how it would matter if someone failed several times and why it would matter. Look at it this way- did that person freeze on the test (brain fart) due to stress,...

    ajmclean replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Nearly a bizillion posts here. As for the flu shot, I was required to get it yearly in the military. I did 31 years total with 21 years of flu shots. I got the flu EVERY year regardless. Maybe...

13. MA to RN

    ajmclean replied to 288jessi's topic in General Students

    I love is "(INSERT AGE) too old to be a nurse"! I am 57 yo and starting my third semester. If you're thinking about taking the plunge, ask yourself why. If you like being an MA, but want to do more,...

    ajmclean replied to lovesbunnies's topic in General Students

    Here goes: View the videos first. If necessary, view them more than once. Take the test. When you answer a question wrong, it gives you the correct answer. Write down the question and the correct...

15. Failed Nursing class

    ajmclean replied to 2bRN2016's topic in School, College Programs

    Your post sounds like one big WHINE. Horrible instructor for clinicals, yet you passed. Tested on what the instructor didn't teach. Test questions come from lectures, yes, but more importantly, the...
