  1. Post BSN- DNP

    Have you thought of doing an ASN program then an RN-BSN program? It's much faster than just going for the traditional BSN program because it takes about 2 1/2 years to finish the ASN program, you take the NCLEX and become an RN, then do the RN-BSN on...

    Here's my schedule next semester: tues- lecture 8-10, Wednesday- lecture 8-11, Thursday- clinicals 6am-6pm, Friday- clinicals 6am-6pm. Paperwork for clinicals are due Tuesday. So I spend the weekend doing paperwork and studying. It's not impossible N...
  4. nclex question

    I'm in the same boat as you. Husband PCSing, different state, etc. I've researched a lot too and from what I gathered, you should apply for a license with the board of nursing in FL, send your transcripts, etc, etc. they will decide if your degree is...
  5. HELP! Last semester of RN school...

    Exercising helps. Yoga especially before a test helps with the anxiety.
  6. ADN BSN

    The whole "pushing for BSN and hospitals no longer hiring ASN" thing has been going on for a long long time. My instructor said she was told that when she was in nursing school 28 years ago. I went for my ASN because we make almost the same as BSN R...
  7. Military Vet to Nurse

    First off, thank you for your service. And secondly, I think it's great. My husband is currently active duty army. Well he got terribly injured in 2010. I noticed that he was way more comfortable with male docs and nurses than he was with female ones...
  8. I agree with the previous post. I had a classmate who is also my good friend, struggling in class too. I decided to help her study and realized that she knew the information, memorizing it. She could spit it out better than I could. But then I realiz...
  9. Help with Patient Goals and Interventions

    https://evolve.elsevier.com/ sign up and add the resource for a nursing care plan book. I used ackley. I'd say based off the info you gave, pain would be the big diagnosis, goal should be measurable and realistic. Something like pt will verbalize a p...

    The TEAS is like a standardized test. I scored an 80 on mine which is pretty high. I used mcgraw hills teas 5 book to study and the ATI teas study guide plus I purchased a sample test. The sample test REALLY helped, however, study before you take tha...
  11. flu shots

    Just go to the CDC website. There are certain things that shouldn't be done right after the other, example is a MMR and tb test. Those are recommendations by CDC. She's a pharmacist, they are very smart people and have years of knowledge about mixing...
  12. Will I like nursing?

    I was th opposite. I didn't feel like nursing would be something I would like. I went back to school to get my ADN. Competed against students for a spot, got a spot and still didn't know if I wanted to be a nurse. I did it because I needed a more fle...
  13. It Can Be Done!

    Absolutely doable. Just takes time management and studying. I took micro, physiology with labs and my first level nursing courses this semester. Call me crazy but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was I got A's in all th classes but my nursing (I got ...
  14. dosage & calculations class?

    I wouldn't recommend throwing another class in the mix of nursing school especially since it's an online class and in my experience online classes are self taught anyway. Our program doesn't teach dosage calculations, they test you on it though. So w...
  15. low points for assignments

    We just have 4 exams with 50 ques and a final. So those who fail one exam have a hard time raising their grades too.
