  1. ADN program compared to NP school

    Hi everyone! I just graduated from an ADN program 2 months ago. Wow was that tough! I did well (3.5 gpa), but it was just exhausting. I decided somewhere around 3rd semester that I wanted to become an NP. I will be starting an accererated RN to...
  2. Saunders Nclex Review too easy?

    I am practicing Nclex questions. I have been whipping through these chapters. I read Suzanne's post about doing each chapter and if I score higher than 75, moving on to the next chapter. But I am really moving though these fast.... with scores in ...
  3. Just curious how many practice questions you did on your own time before you took the NCLEX. And how much time elapsed between the time you finished school and took boards? and did you pass? Just curious....

  5. need some encouragement :(

    5 years ago when I was 19 I was arrested for a DUI. This arrest made me take a good hard look at my life and made me think about what i wanted to do with it. At the time I was bartending and waitressing. I felt like a loser and decided to start clas...
  6. I have read in all of my nursing books 7-10 days. I got on the internet and see up to 8weeks. I ask because my boyfriend's brother's 7 week old baby still has her cord. I am good friends with his wife and she told me about the doctor mentioning th...
  7. What does it mean to learn?

  10. Seeking Narcotics or Chronic Pain?

    YES! I thought about that too! The larger doses of drugs. I just really didn't like what I saw. She was last on the nurses list to be seen or have any of her concerns addressed. I thought pain is one of a nurse's top priorities.
  11. Have to work in hospital while in school?

    I worked in a hospital while I went to school, it did benifit me- I think it just made me more comfortable in the hospital environment. If you don't want to though, don't. I don't think you will be 'lost' after u grad, after all you will have had ...

  13. Needlesticks

    7 weeks left of nursing school and I stuck myself with a used insulin needle. I was terrified. I cried. I left clinical and went to the ER to be tested for HIV and Hep C. The woman's daughter was contacted to get consent to have the woman tested ...
  14. Oops:(

  15. Has anyone ever taken A&P I & II via online?

    I think a&p is far too important in nursing to just take the online class. Take the classroom class and get all u can get out of it! you will be thankful u did once u r in nursing school!
