Thank you guys so much for the tips. I have writers block like crazy and have a hard time putting words together to sound good on paper. Maybe this is called ADD :) Thanks again. This helps a lot.
Dear Human Resources; I am writing in reference to the recently posted position for a Clinical Nurse at the Cancer Center. I believe my training and experience closely match your requirements and my additional qualification in Oncology Nursing will m...
When I was in nursing school I was told the same thing. They are kinda up tight in nursing school. I do it now when I'm trying to comfort the patient. I think it's fine if they are ok with it too.
I eventually want to go back to school for my masters degree. I need to take statistics to apply bc it was not required in my undergrad. I took a basic math in college and have not had any math coarses since. I graduated in 2008. Do you think I will ...
I agree with FelineRN, a lot of times CNA's think we are sitting around doing nothing but in reality, we are required to do soooo much charting and paperwork. We have a lot of great CNA's on our floor, and we have a lot of complainers. Somehow, at 12...

We were just talking about this the other night at work. We said nurses can be the worse patients because we know what happens . If I'm ever hospitalized I will probably never try to use my call bell unless it's important, and I will never ask my nur...
My dad smoked in the home as I was growing up. I had mild asthma and he would tell me it wasn't because he smoked. I would open the window in my room to air it out and get introuble when he found out it was open. I think he was in denial. My little b...
I wish you the best of luck. Sounds like you have a great plan. NCLEX has probably changed a lot since the last time you took it, which will hopefully work to your full advantage. I studied Kaplan and it helped me a lot. Just remember when taking the...
I have been a nurse for almost 3 years. I work on a very busy medical floor. Is it normal to feel like due to liability that your job and license is always on the line? I constantly feel like I need to have a back up plan just incase nursing falls th...

I've never personally done it. I do know the accelerated programs are very fast pace. I do think it could be done with no complications of pregnancy, however I think it would be very hard and stressful and I don't know you'd want to do that to the ba...
