   DogMom1990 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello! I am in my last semester of nursing school and I am starting to look for prospective jobs. I currently work as a "Student Nurse" at a local hospital, which is essentially a CNA position. Some managers and directors have asked when I graduate ...

2. Uworld Self-Assessment Exam questions

   DogMom1990 replied to Vee_tach's topic in NCLEX

   Hello, I thought I would add some confidence to anyone out there with scores on the lower end. I scored a 61% on my first self assessment and a 60% on my second. Both of these scores warranted a "Highly Likely" to pass the NLCEX on the first try. I ...

3. What advice would you give to a new nursing student?

   DogMom1990 replied to dramakid1315's topic in General Students

   Take time for yourself! This was the hardest lesson for me to learn, but I started getting burnt out after two months, so it was necessary. Don't hold back. You may be unsure of yourself, especially in the beginning, you will be amazed at what you k...

   If it's been a while, review A&P, but mostly pathophysiology. BUT DO THIS MINIMALLY! Enjoy your free time now while you still have some! I wish that I would have enjoyed my time before classes started more. Congratulations and enjoy this victory!

   I was thinking the same thing. If we already have them loaded in medical records and they have a copy then we shouldn't have to pay anymore. I feel petty about it as well, but at the same time... Really? I've spent so much money and we haven't even s...

   Certified profile is finally available! But for an additional $35 dollars. Does that seem crazy to anyone else, or just me?

   Thank you for all the information! Is there anything that they do not provide that we will need to purchase? Like the bandage scissors and storage clipboard? The kit seems great, but I just want to be prepared when the day comes :) Thanks again!

    I just checked in with an advisor and they said they do not know when the orientation will be available and that they are still working on correcting any errors with the certified profile. We may know more next week.

    Spoke to Charlotte Nursing advisor. She said that we need to get the influenza shot when it is in season (Sept-Nov) until then we may not find any. The hospitals usually require and they will check up on us closer to the season for the shots. Yes, it...
