  1. Large percentage failing nursing school exams, why?

    We never get a study guide. We are told it the syllabus which chapters every unit contains and anything we learn within those weeks is fair game.
  2. Calling all moms

    I'm mom of two boys. Ages 6 & 8. I work 1-2 12 hour shifts a week and have class 3 days a week. My husband works a two week rotation of 8 days on 6 days off. I find that when I get home from school or work it is better for me to give them a few...
  3. I need some help and I am worried!

    Contact legal-aid in your state. My sister had a felony removed without a lawyer. It doesn't have to be expensive. She just had a few forms to fill out and she wrote a letter to the judge. It will be one less thing you need to worry about.

    Surprise is a nice area to live.
  5. Surviving Nursing School and Marriage

    I think it's probably important that you be more understanding as well. I like the idea about discussing expectations of one another.

  9. The rolling backpack debate

    I bought a regular backpack and I keep a crate in my trunk because I figured I could switch the books out for each class. Two weeks in I have a Zuca on order that should arrive Monday!!! My back was mad at me :)
  10. Calling graduating class of 2014!

    Today's my first day! I'll graduate Spring 2014!
  11. I think it can be a double edge sword. Having support from classmates will definitely be helpful. But externships and new grad jobs in this area tend to be pretty cut throat so I wouldn't be surprised to see some backstabbing going on.
  12. First Nursing Exam

    I start school on Wednesday but at orientation they really stress the importance of knowing the objectives.
  13. Careplans.com website are they worth the money?

    I'm just a nursing student but I don't think using a care plan builder is going to be a good thing. I have Ackley's Nursing Diagnosis Handbook and NANDA-I Nursing Diagnosis book.
