You are referring to 'Nursing Assistants', sometimes called 'Patient Care Techs' or probably a bunch of other terms depending on where you go (and with the international contingent on this site, I'm sure it is quite variable). And believe me, I depend on them and they work very hard. There are obviously exceptions to any rule, but a health care setting is one of the harder places to avoid responsibility.
If you don't mind me asking, what Community College would that be?

That's a lot of questions for your boards. NCLEX here has a min. 75 max. 269. Do your boards have primarily concrete knowledge or a bunch of prioritizing and delegation questions?
Any plans on coming to work in the states? I could use a nice fat referral bonus?  J/K, I think overseas referral bonuses are limitted to recruiters. But I will say this, I really appreciate our PT's for getting the patients moving when I'm buried in paperwork. Never let anybody marginalize the job you do.

If it has yet to be noted, I am a nurse.
And I look much more like the figure on the right than the figure on the left.
And Stonebeard, please be aware that classroom tests are butterfly kisses compared to the tests my clients take on a daily basis. And they are frequently pass/fail.

You have exams in Porcupine Tree??!!! 600 questions!! That beats the 10 Genesis questions on MasterMind.
I've just realised this Poll is a multiple choice and my previous answer was an essay.

Hello Stoney. Guess what I felt when I saw your thread about depression:
A. Concerned
B. Worried
C. Both A and B
Pencils down.
Pass yor papers, finished or not.

Guess when it becomes an unattractive option to them...about the time of their first test.

I don't think that nursing is an easy or "cushy" job ...

1. Your comment about nursing is a baseless, rude generalization.
2. If you don't like tests you had better avoid school. |
1. Of course it is, but if you had as many dumb blonds from your school go into nursing, you'd think the same way. In fact, I said nothing about nursing as a profession other than it doesn't require a hefty knowledge of geography (does it?). If anything, I was generalizing the dumb blonds who go into nursing (because they think its an easy, cushy job). 2. Who likes tests?  No one goes to school to take tests, they go to school to get an education. Tests are an unfortunate consequence.

The least amount of answers the better, unless you have to write it out...

^ interestingly we don't have multiple choice tests in high school ... at least not from 3rd grade on. Intuitively I'd say that multiple choice tests are a very, very poor method of testing knowledge ... but they're cheap and take less time to evaluate for the teacher. A simple matter of priorities!

What is this essay nonsense! If I want to know the material, I'll know it, but I don't want to write a bunch of words about crap I may or may not enjoy if I don't have to! Tests are practically worthless; all you ever get out of a class that betters you is what you want to get out of it through lecture and discussion. A test is just to get a grade, not to somehow make you know the material better. So, I choose multiple choice. |
That's how we end up with U.S. kids getting to high school without so much as basic arithmetic skills or the ability to point out the Pacific Ocean on a map. The curriculum is taught but nobody tests them to determine whether they have the basic skill sets to move on. You have to have some standard by which you measure knowledge. Do you really want a surgeon operating on you who has not been tested in basic anaomy and physiology? I think not.
