  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...

    Nanook, my opinion is as valuable as

  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,...

  10. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    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,...

  14. ATI Skills Modules

    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...

  16. Best Places to Buy/Rent Student Books

    ajmclean replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    Amazon, for sure. Directtext.com lists books and prices from all

  17. How hard is nursing school?

    ajmclean replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is hard, to a degree. A bit hard on the ego, for one. I was going to be that straight A student despite being told not to try. Out of my four classes thus far, 2 A's and 2 B's. Of...

  18. Should I quit nursing school?

    ajmclean replied to Charlisa's topic in General Students

    My first set was through Keiser. Monetary mistake. All subsequent purchases through Amazon Prime. No list for first semester set. If you want to save money, I can give you the

  21. Tncc as a nursing student

    ajmclean posted a topic in Emergency

    Ok, help me out here. The TNCC website doesn't list who's eligible to attend unless I missed something. So, any of y'all out there attended a TNCC course while a nursing student? Any tips, etc. if you...

  22. New grads in specialties without the basics

    ajmclean replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    ADN, Diploma, BSN. Who cares? The student is what makes the best nurse, not the

  23. How many men in your cohort?

    ajmclean replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    We're at 6 out of 22 now. We gained two "educational detours" (as our Director calls rollbacks) and lost 2. Starting the 3rd semester out of

  24. Military Spouse-Is it smart to start taking pre-requisites now?

    ajmclean replied to Dit250's topic in General Students

    Yes, start now. Get as much out of the way as early as possible. That way you can concentrate on on your upcoming PCS move and not have to worry about doing prereqs when you

  25. To all energetic and ambitious nurses, don't waste your time in Australia!

    ajmclean replied to rabbi's topic in General World

    This also sounds like the research wasn't fully done before the move. Lots of things found out after the
