1. Why a Nurse?

   Azuteor replied to Ant24's topic in Male Students

   1) I was going back and forth between nursing and graphic designing. Everyone told me to make a career at what I'm good at and while I agree, I'd prefer not to struggle after graduating academia. My parents surprisingly didn't tell me to become one; ...

2. After over coming tough obstacles.. I am finally on the right path

   Azuteor replied to Snowangel7390's topic in General Students

   I believe you can do it and I'm pretty sure the AN community does as well. I hope to see a graduation thread from you two years from now! I get compared to other people too, but mainly with my childhood best friend. She's also in nursing school. You...

3. After over coming tough obstacles.. I am finally on the right path

   Azuteor replied to Snowangel7390's topic in General Students

   How are you doing now health wise? Doing well? How are they trying to psych you out? It seems that you are sure of yourself and you really want it! That's good! Bring that enthusiasm with you wherever you go. All of the nurses here will tell you tha...

4. After over coming tough obstacles.. I am finally on the right path

   Azuteor replied to Snowangel7390's topic in General Students

   Hi Snow! You are totally awesome for overcoming these obstacles and getting accepted into nursing school! I think Middlesex County College is a two-year college, right? I believe my dad went there, or maybe it was Essex CC. Either way, my dad graduat...

5. Books I should read before school starts?

   Azuteor replied to healthy12's topic in General Students

   Edit: As far as books go, I used Saunder's NCLEX-RN and kept it with me. 1) The first few things you'll learn once you get in there is the importance of vital signs (bp, pulse, temp, O2 sats, respirations, and pain), how to take them, and their norm...

6. Your take on actors playing "nurse"...

   Azuteor replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   Peter Petrelli from Heroes is a hospice nurse and switched to being a paramedic later on. It's pretty cool since this character is one of the main super powered protagonists in the show. There are tons of nurses in Supernatural, but they are usually...

7. Indecisive about going for RPN vs RN

   Azuteor replied to Burno's topic in Canada

   Hey Bruno, I think going the RPN route will be a better choice for you. From what I've read, you've written more pros for the two year route. Nursing school is pretty tough so having familiar teachers and classmates should make it easier.

8. Failed Nursing School

   Azuteor replied to kkitchens23's topic in General Students

   Hey, I also didn't do so well in nursing school. There are plenty of nurses who were in our situation and were able to become successful! If you still want to become a nurse, do not give up and do what you need to do. However, going back to another n...

9. Failed check off

   Azuteor replied to FutureNurse114's topic in General Students

   I got lucky and didn't fail any checks offs, but had to start from the very beginning. I almost failed medication administration if I hadn't immediately remembered to document time, location, dose, and medication given and signed it off. I did the wo...

10. Nursing acceptance after previous nursing school failure

    Azuteor replied to Cm12's topic in Career Support

    Hi! Have you considered Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia?

11. 94 on first exam but the next ones are harder and i have issues with this first one

    Azuteor replied to yvonne131321's topic in General Students

    Since this method worked for you on the first test, keep doing it! I think the only difficult part is accommodating for when you have more information to learn than before. Keeping the momentum going is important as well. You got it!

12. The "Nursing Games" claims it's first victims...

    Azuteor replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    I just recently passed a dosage calculations test. It was really easy, but it was just basic and didn't factor in different units aside from liters and grams, flow rate, body weight, body surface, etc. Rather than take it for a grade, My Med Surg Pra...
