As far as I know, getting a minor won't do too much for your nursing career...wouldn't hurt it though. I know for some people, staying enrolled full time in school is important for insurance and to...

Nursing school doesn't last forever...here is a saying I live by: "The big day always gets here." It's true.

Thanks! I've applied to some places, but I'm not familiar with that area at all and don't know anyone who lives there, so I'm pretty clueless about the hospitals around there. The job market...

Hey Pat. I'm going to be moving up there after I graduate this semester. So the job market is pretty good in that area for new grads? Any advice on what hospitals to apply to?

It could end up being a good idea! That is a lot of money, though, so before you took out a loan I would check and see exactly what the minimum payments are, and also how much money you ACTUALLY will...

Thanks, I guess I should go ahead and ask about it, the recruiter didn't say anything about sending me something like that. I just don't want it to sound like I'm accusing them of trying to trick...

Hi everyone! I am hoping for some advice. I graduate in May, and was lucky enough to receive a job offer after my first interview, and this job is perfect for me. I'm really excited. I read this...

For me, waiting tables wasn't what I hated, what I HATED was working for tips. People seemed to think that they were doing you some sort of favor by leaving a tip, which, in my opinion (obviously I'm...

I agree with the other posters about ATI...it it was a matter of the school just not being challenging enough, that would reflect in your ATI scores. Also, do all of the students make those grades?

You don't have to only say one thing or the other, because like you said, your job is both a tough one and one you enjoy! Your response could be something along the lines of yes, it's a hard job...

Congrats! Nursing school is really tough, but in my opinion, it starts getting a little easier towards the end, once you learn how to study and have a good foundation. Expect to feel lost, and...

I'm wondering the same thing as the OP. I haven't graduated yet, but I just found out that I'm going to be precepting in a Neuro ICU. I was hoping someone could suggest common medications and...

I don't have kids, but I'm married and my husband expects way more time and attention from me than I want to give on most days. He tries to be understanding and he's pretty supportive, but it's...

I don't have kids, but I'm married and my husband expects way more time and attention from me than I want to give on most days. He tries to be understanding and he's pretty supportive, but it's...

My OB rotation was divided into three different parts: postpartum, L&D, and neonatal. I spent three days in a postpartum unit, and we were assigned our own patients, similar to our regular...

Even if someone could "do better," we still need people who are willing to work those jobs in order for our society to continue function the way it does. Also, I can understand why a person who...

Thanks for the reply! Would you mind giving me some more details? I'm curious about what a typical day might be like (I know every day is different, but just broadly), tasks you performed, etc. Were...

I actually used to be a graphic designer, so I'd like to offer my perspective. Art and design may be a passion of yours, but at the end of the day, graphic design is a desk job like any other....

I just received placement for my Senior preceptorship, in a Rapid Admit Unit. I had no clue what that was. I googled it, and got a general idea of what it's for, but I'm still unclear. What is the...

Have you thought about taking a different path to become a nurse, aside from LSU? For instance, moving to a place where someone could help with your daughter, or starting with an LPN program? Some...

I'm going on an interview with Cape Fear for the new grad program...I have no idea how many people they called for an interview. I know there aren't a lot of slots open for critical care.

There are lots of good lectures that teachers have recorded and put online, too. I can't remember exactly what they were called, but if I'm confused about something I google it and see what comes up....

This is my pharm teacher's step-by-step method for acid/base. First, list all the lab values, then: 1. Is the pH high, low, or normal? -If it is > 7.4, write a "B" beside it for basic. ...

If I was taking the test, the answer I would have chosen was the ask about the onset of the symptoms one. To me, out of those choices, that answer would be the most important thing to find out when...

I'm not from NY and don't know anything about the nursing programs there. But something you might want to consider when choosing a school (if both have decent reputations) is where you would like to...
