   Steve_e replied to chanjyj's topic in General Nursing

   My advice before you give up would be to not give up. Some people just aren't good at them and that is ok. But You will learn that you will have good runs and bad runs. Maybe you'll sink 2 or 3 in a row, and then miss 2 or 3. It's just how it goes,...

2. Profession for some...attempted by many..

   Steve_e replied to jdruds's topic in General Nursing

   Haha this is kind of an interesting post. I more or less agree with the OP. Med/Surg is really the most well rounded "see all you can" area to really get a good, extensive knowledge base. The people who have been on a med/surg floor for under a yea...

3. Should I take another part time job?

   Steve_e posted a topic in Career Support

   Hello All! I'm a fairly new nurse, started working on a m/s floor about a year ago (mar 19 to be exact). I have learned quite a deal of things since the beginning, and some days I hate it and most days I like it haha, I think that stands true for any...

7. One Of The Saddest Things I've Seen... Can't Stop Laughing

   Steve_e replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not so sure this is really all that funny, but I guess it is what it is. I'm not going to ramble on about what should be done because I am just a Nursing Student myself, but it seems to me like there should be a better way to train the new gradu...

   llaura, While I am not a RN at the moment, I am in my second semester of nursing school as we speak. I would not take my advice as professional advice, but here is my input and thoughts on this subject. I would say it depends on what kind of speech...

9. Anyone used Evolve Bundle?

   Steve_e replied to BacktotheBeach's topic in General Students

   I used the evolve bundle package last year in Nursing 1. It really was pretty great I think. There is a bunch of stuff that you can do to study for tests and practice clinical skills right on your computer at home. I thought it worked out well. L...
