Snotty wealthy woman over the phone who was coming in for a peritoneal dialysis consultation with the PD nurse. She patronized me throughout the entire 5 minutes we spoke. I wanted to choke her when...

Not sure what to advise here. If an online school is your last option, then just do it. I was about to enroll in an online ABSN program because I was down to my last few options and I only applied...

I don't have the time or patience to read the whole chapters this week, so I'm just going to read through the key points that are outlined for me. (Since that's probably what I will remember anyway)

I have to agree with Jamaicandol, even though I don't know what it's like to lose a loved one while going through an intense program, I have observed among my peers (including myself) that keeping...

Dialysis is technical, and can be exciting at times lol

I haven't been on this thing in a while, but I figured I'd come lurking around being that class starts next week! I'm not on Facebook, so I plan on using Allnurses.com for any future forms of...

Welcome, welcome! As for purchasing your uniform, jot down the style numbers and search for the Adar brand elsewhere. For the price of 1 set from Adar themselves, I was able to get almost 3...

I'm in your boat as well, I finish my program in the end of Aug-early Sept. I plan to review after graduation, and then take the test at the end of December.

I already planned on keeping to myself. I can identify with Cat-RN. I always feel like getting good grades defines myself as a competent individual. Because I have low self-esteem about my...

Next week I am sure I will feel the same! I'm happy that your first day went so well! It's actually comforting and relaxing to read something like that (especially when I've been feeling nervous and...

Um yea...that's not legal at all lol. And you have the right to hold a tech from break to legally avoid being by yourself if a code happens. Too dangerous!

Oh... :( Thx for the heads up!

LOL. I'm about to do the same! Hey, do what you need to...after all of the "paper" you killed from your wallet to attend NS in the first place, I think ONE tree is worth it!

I don't have a clinical bag yet, so I just keep it in the box it came in :) I love my baby pink Littman! <3

Technically I am a senior even though I'm a new student (I'm in an ABSN program). I m excited to start and finish all in one year! lol. I already started preparing a study binder that I plan to...

I find that when you find yourself losing the interest, and can't retain anything, you should stop studying and do something completely different. Go for a walk, exercise, watch a movie...the brain...

Thankfully I haven't heard many negative commentaries yet (except not to stop at being an RN, but to keep going until I'm an NP; which I plan to). But for every job there will always be complaints...

I'm currently a full-time Certified Medical Assistant working in a dialysis center in NY. My school is in NJ where I live, so I will convert to per-diem for the one year of nursing school (i'm in an...

That statement is VERY TRUE! I've worked in a dialysis facility for about 8 years and let me just say...if the patient is not ambulatory, then the patient MUST have an attendant with them during...

Congrats! Welcome to our thread! I can't wait to start in September!! This anticipation is killing me! I want to take our first exam already!! LOL

Yes. I'm trying to avoid spending extra money where I could save it. If need be I can always register for summer session 2 at a community college to take the course.
