2. Sitting here dreading my shift tonight

   kakykeke replied to BettyBoop01's topic in New Nurse

   Im glad your night went better. You need to keep things in perspective. We will have nights/days that are horrible but most of the time its few of them and hopefully far between. I think the peer that yelled at you, I feel is unacceptable and you sho...

   kakykeke replied to JeepDudeRN's topic in General Students

   I can only tell you from what those before me have said about taking the Hesi exit is what prepared them the most was Hurst Review book. You can get this at any major internet bookstore. Saunders was good review but got much more out of the Hurst boo...

7. Titers or vaccines?

   kakykeke replied to Barbe's topic in General Students

   Ditto, I was the same way. Had my MMR growing up but my titers showed I was not immune. Our program only asked to have verification of vaccination, but because I didnt have the proper documentation I had to get the titers done. It wasn't an outrageou...

10. I'm Tired of Being Told That I Can't Work and Attend Nursing School Simultaneously

    kakykeke replied to Plagueis's topic in General Students

    "In a perfect world" it would be nice to go through the NP without the added stress of taking on more responsibilities (children, part time, full time jobs etc) but for most of us that is not feasible. Dont let others dissolve your commitment to the ...

    kakykeke replied to oatmeal's topic in General Students

    Even though we had a two hour lecture it was pretty much flash memorization... I would have to say we lost 1/4 medication dosage and another 1/4 the next semester with all the meds we needed to learn. Our cut off point was to get a 78% to pass.. som...
