   I currently work third shift but I hate sleeping during the day and this shift is getting harder to do as the days go by.. There may be a second shift position coming up soon.. should I take it? I love my job - that's certainly not an issue I am just...

   bruiised posted a topic in LPN-RN

   I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but here's a thousand and one How long does a bridge program take? I currently hold my LPN license in PA and quite frankly I don't really want to attend school for another 3+ years to get my RN.. I gues...

5. NCLEX in 3 days! Advice Please

   bruiised replied to dori1987's topic in NCLEX

9. Gaining weight in nursing school

   bruiised replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

   Again I think that's just nursing school.. In the beginning I was a ball of energy but the closer it got to being finished I had no energy at all. It took all I had just to get out of bed in the morning. Just try and remember how good you feel after ...

10. Gaining weight in nursing school

    bruiised replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

    I gained weight in nursing school too.. I think it's just a normal thing honestly. You are less active, more stressed and that leads to eating more sugar.. that and I know everyone in my class always had goodies which didn't help. I went from 130 to...
