  1. Please, I really need desperate help! Math...

    I agree with DaytoNite. I think the answer key for #1 and #3 are incorrect. I got the same answers as he/she did. I work all my drug problems out using scientific notation. That's what I learned in science in college and that's what I was most co...
  2. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
  3. most difficult part of nursing school?

    The best answer that I can give to you is not to look at what the worst part of nursing school was, but what the best parts of being a nurse are. I just graduated in December and started as a new grad in the ER this past February. I love it. Any p...
  4. Constantly Getting Thrown Under The Bus by Fellow Nurse

    I agree with the posters above. Who's your boss? The FNP or this co-worker? Do you have a job description? If you don't, I would request a detail of your responsibilities, who you report to, who's responsible for activities on certain days. Once...
  5. DUI 20 years ago

    I had a DUI 2o years before I applied for my RN license. I had to include documentation regarding the DUI. I wrote a letter stating my "virtues" and that alchohol had not been a problem since, as noted by my record. I had no delay in the processin...
  6. An update on my stepson

    I am so sorry that you and your dh are having to go through this with your stepson. My husband and I went through a similar situation with our oldest son at 16. We sent our son to outpatient rehab and when he tested dirty three times (which broke t...
  7. What should I already know going into the Nursing Program?

    I would study physiology and understand it inside and out. The theory content of nursing school will make so much more sense, as well as the ways in which the classifications of medication work in the body. I know that finding a job is difficult at...
  8. My first interview after passing nclex

    Yes, I will pray for you and good luck! To Shasta 12: The new grads that were hired at our hospital were the ones who worked as techs on their vacations and the students who did their clinicals/preceptorships there. Keep that in mind when you choose...
  9. Who is the oldest Nursing Student here?

    Underpaid Nurse, RE: "I'm thirty six and when I get my LPN license I'll be 37. I'm the third oldest in my class. I was beginning to feel frustrated, because everyone looks at us with the," Why aren't you a RN yet". Well, I finally was in a place to ...
  10. Crossroads at age fifty.

    Hello, I am 47 years old and just graduated from an ADN program this past December. I had always wanted to be an RN but chose a different path, motherhood and marriage, and didn't pursue the nursing avenue. I am SOO GLAD that I did. I have very si...
  11. 50 Years Old and Just Became a CNA Would Like to be RN

    Go for it!!! I just graduated from an ADN program and I'm 47 and have no regrets!
  12. i feel lost and confused...=\

    I just graduated in December from an ADN program and I still remember my second semester of clinicals. Remind yourself that thousands of people have done this (look at all the RNs there are) before so it's doable and you can do it, too! I always as...
  13. Accessories for graduation

    The females in my graduating class wore the white hats with the black band (the color for RNs I'm told) and the men wore the black band on the left pocket of their scrubs. Our whole class received pins.
  14. Need some advice

    I was in the same predicament as you. I submitted all transcripts as requested. My grades as a mature adult, which included my pre-requisites for nursing school, were very good and I got in to a very good ADN program. I know that I earned my place...
  15. Nursing Graduation Gift for Woman

    The LLadro nurse figurine was my favorite gift for graduation last semester. It's timeless, and brings me pride every time I see it. In California, we are only able to use black ink for documentation, no blue.
