Hi! I am just looking for help picking my top dx for my patient. She has a lot of things going on so I can't decide!; long story short: She had a cholecystectomy and parastomal hernia repair. In...

Hi owlRN01! Congrats on the job!! Did you have any prior healthcare experience...CNA? LPN? Thanks :-)

Thanks for the replies! I think I will sign up to volunteer and hope for the best!! :-) I am glad that it (or working as a CNA/tech) helped some of you get a job! A job at the end of all of this...

I will have to look more into the externships! I would do a CNA/tech job, but my CNA license ran out, and I really don't want to go back and get recertified. I could go take my LPN boards at this...

Thanks for the advice!! I wish that we had more nurse extern positions around here! I am by Madison, WI. so the big Madison hospitals have programs but I am pretty sure they are reserved for BSN...

Hi! I am in nursing school and am wondering whether anyone has an opionion on whether it would be more beneficial to my future job search to work while in school or volunteer at the small hospital...

I think it completely depends on the school and the instructor. I am in the third semester of the nursing program and so far the most difficult classes it seems have been mental health and CHA 1...

Congrats!! Did you have health care experience? Are your classmates receiving interviews as well? Good luck with the interviews!!! :-)

And this tip may sound crazy but I suppose it doesn't hurt...a psychologist friend of mine told me that if you sleep with something study related under your pillow...notes or study guide etc. that...

I know some that will get a flu shot if it is a single dose--without thimerosal. I am not sure how much more expensive those are or how many would be persuaded by that.

Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions! Some concepts can be complicated or confusing and sometimes the textbook can have way more information than you need to know as an RN (at least ours do). ...

Thanks for the encouragement and the website link!! And I wanted to pass on what I just read on another post...the advice was to find a place to study away from home! It is difficult (especially...

Hi Mom To 4! I just wanted to make sure that you knew that I meant no offense with being surprised at the cost of your program!! I am not sure how that came across on the computer :-) It just...

I thought she meant 38K for the whole program!! wow, yes 21K definitely beats 38K then! lol Good luck with your program!!!

No, not that bad I suppose!  I had no idea what a program like that cost! I was just confused since I thought you were saying not go to Herzing because $38,000 seemed too high, but I think I...

$60,000 for your DNP?? Wow!! or is that a typo? I noticed you said "only?" I have always wondered how much a DNP cost..

Hi! Which Herzing are you looking at? If you search "Herzing" you will find some opinions. I know the one in Madison, WI does not have a good reputation for their RN program. I am not sure if it...

Definitely more difficult than I thought it would be! I am at a tech school right now to get my ADN, and I feel like it is definitely more difficult than when I got my BS at a large university! :-)...

Hi all! I am wondering if doing an RN to BSN program right after my ADN program would be a mistake or not. I would not be able to work at the same time which is what i worry about so I would just...

I thought calculus 1 & 2 were my hardest courses...before nursing school that is! Now my most difficult course has been Med/Surg 2. My brain is tired just thinking about it :-) Kind of like AP...

Only if you can take your family with you. 2 years old is too young to understand why you are suddenly gone all of the time. And I can't imagine missing out on those precious years. Just my...
