My school requires us to participate in a mandatory NLCEX review course, which is great in theory... aside from the fact that it's from 8-5pm for 4 days straight. (fyi, your ass starts to fall asleep around hour #3.) I honestly dont know how some of my fellow graduates intend to pass the nclex. I cant believe that in a matter of months they'll actually have patients' lives in their hands...
Instructor: "what are we worried about here?"
Student: "Eye blindness!"
...eye blindness. ...as opposed to the other kinds of blindness that exist? :-p
Instructor: "Honey is contraindicated in babies less than 12 months old."
Student: "What does that mean?"
...seriously? what about that statement do you not understand?
Student: "What is string?"
Instructor: "um, a short rope."
It blows my mind that this student will be caring for patients. Of course she represents the minority, but knowing that people like her carry a nursing license makes you question the competency of health care professionals... scary.
Anyway, aside from the obnoxious people in the class, it was helpful. And if anything, we got to listen to some interesting stories. ...Ask me about the penis story, the story about family members who lie, and how to get out of a speeding ticket. ;)
