    I'm New Here--I need encouragement :(

    JentheRN05 replied to serendipity05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Let me say in regards to this, some of the worst bedside mannerism nurses I know passed the NCLEX on the first try, and some of the best nurses I know had to sit for it 3+ times. So no one will judge...

    I'm New Here--I need encouragement :(

    JentheRN05 replied to serendipity05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm with everyone else, your only a failure when you decide to be and give up. From your posts you couldn't possibly be a failure because your not a quitter. I think the passing truly depends on your...

    How important are grades?

    JentheRN05 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My favorite instructor had a favorite saying. C = RN Fact is now it's more like B- = RN so I think I would simply do my best. I personally graduated with honors

    MA?? any out there

    JentheRN05 replied to jewelz78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have scattered views on MA's. I work in a doctors office currently. One of our MA's tells the patients/ or implies that she's a nurse. That really REALLY irks me. I AM an RN and I AM the nurse in...

    JentheRN05 replied to Krojas21's topic in Pediatric
