3. I want to be an RN, but I am getting divorced, single mom and need to work right away.HELP

   Shjnsn replied to annaliz04's topic in General Nursing

   Don't stress! You CAN do this if it's what you truly want! I was a single mom of two working full time and going to school full time. You will need your CNA in most places before you can get your RN. I believe it's a course that can be taken over...

   Shjnsn replied to acceb29's topic in General Students

   The biggest organizational skill I have is to get a calendar and plan everything. Schedule study time, class times, due dates etc. This has really helped me stay on top of things. I keep a 3 ring binder for each class and use dividers to organize m...

5. Nursing Student! Help

   Shjnsn replied to jasmina95's topic in General Students

   Don't cram all of the information into the night before a test. Study a bit each day. What works for me is to go back over my notes the same day of class, then again the next day and then review all notes every couple of days. As you know this is ...

   Shjnsn replied to AnAppleADay77's topic in General Students

   I have a similar schedule of working 6 12 hour night shifts in a row and attending school full time with an hour and a half drive each way. I too am a night person, so that's not an issue for me either. I also have a family so I have to incorporate...

   I too work full time plus and go to school full time, and have 2 kids who are very active in sports. It's not easy by any means. I use the same as others and put everything in a planner. I don't think I could do this if I personally was not fully ...

10. Food in the ER

    Shjnsn replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    You have to love those who demand things like that. Currently we have one who calls the ambulance like clockwork, rolls through the door asking for the remote to the tv, a warm blanket and dinner. Of course it's the same day/time each week as her "...

    Shjnsn replied to TaylorMaidRn's topic in Med-Surg

    Even being a small rural hospital you should have an administrator on call. I would start with o Your house supervisor and go up from there. It's not safe to leave a minor alone depending on the age of the child.
