  1. Am I Stupid For This, Or Does It Matter?

    I wouldn't recommend this because you never know when you might need this same professor for a reference or letter. It just seems to me that a professor would be more likely to write a strong letter or give a good reference if they saw consistent gra...
  2. Tips on getting into school

    I was going to suggest getting experience but you already have the CNA position. I then was going to suggest improving your grades but you have all As in your prereqs. How about getting volunteer experience? Apply for a volunteer position at a hospit...
  3. Wouldn't all of the NANDA information already be in those diagnosis books though? I still don't get why the same authors wrote books on basically the same material. I must be missing something.
  4. Mosby's Guide to Nursing Diagnosis Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care Both books have the same authors and subject matter. What exactly is the difference between the two, and which one do you think is more helpful? F...
  5. Quick Reference Guide Suggestions

    That's good to know! I assumed that the information would have changed, since the 2nd edition was published in 2006 whereas the 3rd edition was published in 2010. Has anyone heard of "RN Pocket Guide"? What about "Medsurg Notes"? Along with the book...
  6. Have there been drastic changes to diagnoses since the past few years? I ask because I found a NANDA 2012-2014 book and an earlier edition with the years 2009-2011. Since I'm just a pre-nursing student trying to get some knowledge beforehand, I'm not...
  7. Small talk with patients, what to say?

    There are some great suggestions mentioned by previous members. Does anyone have anymore suggestions?
  8. RN, BSN/MN, or MSN

    OhRN2, I want to send you a private message, but it says that your inbox is full.
  9. Fundamentals Success 2nd edition vs 3rd edition

    Any more updates on whether or not there's a difference between the two editions? Are the review questions very different? If the content is still the same, I would buy both if they had very different review questions in them.
  10. Poor posture resulting in back pain...help!

    What does "MBT" stand for? I tried to look for them online, but couldn't find anything.
  11. Review old anatomy notes. I would review the topics that you struggled with the most, since anatomy forms the foundation for physiology. You need a very good understanding of what the parts are in order to fully understand what they do (i.e. function...
  12. Trying to find dnp program

    I've only found Samuel Merritt and USF in California. Does anyone know of any recent information on whether or not there will be new programs available at other schools?
  13. Nurse on Probation: Help with Resume & Cover Letter

    One suggestion is to put "ON PROBATION" right next to your title. For example, Name, RN (on probation). Also, I would briefly state why you're on probation in your cover letter, and what steps you're taking in order to resolve it.
  14. Stay at Home Mom for 9 years......

    Even though you had minimal CNA experience, it still counts as something. Also, I would briefly mention your volunteer experiences and prior employment, and illustrate qualities gained from them (which could be applied as a nurse).
  15. New Grad Needs help with Resume and Cover letter

    Your objective is too basic. You should target it towards the particular position that you want. I've read not to include your high school diploma on your resume. "Thank you for YOUR time." (not "you're") I would make the verb tenses consistent. For...
