I guess I'm one of the few people to not vote all-nights, but at this point in my career (I've only been off orientation 4 months) I am enjoying rotating -- as long as I have a few days to switch back to days! (days to nights is easier). I work 3 wee...
I'm sure that this question has been asked many times, but I can't seem to find the answer........when do people normally take the NCLEX? I'm graduating the first week of May -- would taking it sometime before the end of May be typical? end of June? ...

I have a similar question r/t cardiac output. I have to have 6 prioritized nsg dx for my pt, the top 3 being the ones I have to write interventions etc for. She was in the hospital simply because she had fractured her patella. My #1 is Ineffective ti...

Wow. That made me cry, and I don't often. I'm starting nursing school in the fall and it's stories like this that I know will help me get through the tough parts.
Next week I'll be done with my last semester of pre-req's (yay! :w00t: ) and I was wondering if people who are in their actual nursing classes have kept their micro books for reference (or if you didn't, if you wish you did.) I'm def keeping A&P ...
Hey y'all! I'm a sophomore starting the nursing program in Aug. '09.....and I absolutely CANNOT wait (even though I know it's gonna be a ton of work.) :) I was wondering.......I've seen a fair amount around this site and heard from other people that ...
Hi all, I posted this on the prenursing forum a few days ago but realized my question is pretty much for people who've already gone through a lot of the program already, or even graduated. Basically, what do you think I should focus on the most in pa...

thanks! I love what I'm learning now, which is why it's frustrating 'cause I wish I could remember it better....thanks for the encouragement though! :)
Hey everyone! I'm a prenursing sophomore, planning to start nursing school in Fall '09 (can't wait!). I'm in Patho right now (a 1 semester class at my school) and I'm having the hardest time getting all the information to stick!!! I've already taken...
