First of all, I am currently not a nurse, but I will graduate in May. I don't know if GPA is a factor regarding a research position but I will end up in the 3.7-3.8 range. I have always been very fascinated with Alzheimer's, and I was wondering if ...
So sorry to hear about your father, nursing school is so mentally and physically draining by itself, I couldn't imagine attempting it during a difficult time in my personal life as well. What is your overall GPA? And, does your program allow studen...
So I am looking for some help regarding a homework question. The meds that are part of the question are Dopamine, Hydrochlorothiazide, Nipride, and Epinephrine. How do I determine how each of these meds affect the heart in terms of preload, afterlo...

I know I'm not in your area, but local grads in Southwest Ohio area are starting around $23-$27 (low $30s at the VA if you can get in) It just depends on the network.
You can always call a local hospital HR department and ask about good nursing programs in the area. If they don't mention the specific school your looking into, then maybe dig a little deeper. I know where I live in Ohio, my 2 year ADN program (Sin...
I would LOVE it if our grading scale gave an A for a 90% or above!!! At Sinclair Community college in Dayton, it's 93-100 - A, 86-92 - B, 80-85 - C, and anything below 80 is failing... It's definitely a tough grading scale, but I guess that's why o...
You definitely need to make time for yourself as well. I have a wife and a 2 year old, so I make every Friday night, "Family Night". Regardless of whether or not I have homework or an exam or whatever on Monday. If I can't get it done working on i...
You are definitely just over thinking this one. You're on the right path, you just need to fix your math at the end. 950/80 = 11.875. So you have 11 WHOLE hours and 0.875 of an hour left over. There are 60 minutes in an hour. So, 60 x 0.875 = 52...
So I will graduate in May 2013, and I start my preceptor class in January. I have worked at my current hospital job for almost 7 years in the Operating Room. I know most of the managers in the hospital as well. I have been offered a job in the OR ...

I have had many on my instructors tell me that "men go farther in nursing". I don't know if we just don't want to settle for working as a floor nurse for the rest of our lives, or if we feel like we have something to prove? But, most of the male nu...
I feel like I'm kind of going out on a limb on this one but I thought I would at least ask and see what you guys think... You have a patient with CHF who admits to drinking 10-15 beers / day and completely refuses to decrease their intake or change ...
i just had a co worker leave our hospital for the atrium medical center in middletown, ohio which is part of premier health partners. she said that after she works for them for a year they will pay for her to get her bsn, she is currently a surgical...
