The 10th edition has the 2012-2014 NANDA diagnoses while the 9th edition has the 2009-2011 NANDA diagnoses. But I know we have the 2015-2017 NANDA diagnoses now, so I'm assuming an 11th edition is in the works. The 10th edition was a required text my...

I would definitely take it to someone higher up if your instructor doesn't add those points to your grade. My program will not change your grade if you marked the Scantron incorrectly, but they will if the machine simply failed to pick up on your mar...
Wow, I hope I have that aha moment when I feel like I really fit somewhere. You may be able to find a job in the ED as a new grad, especially if you apply to a new grad fellowship (some are called internships). I'm so happy for you!

This thread has been silent for a couple of days, but I just want to share my personal experience. After my second semester of college I became so stressed out because I was studying all the time. I hardly saw the people who I lived with let alone fr...
I usually clock in at 2 to 3 hours round trip depending on clinical site. Honestly, it is a pain. I do enjoy the time alone to decompress, but I hate that it cuts a huge chunk out of my study time. Plus it makes the 12 hour shifts that much more tiri...
