Acronym Hell

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the site (just made my first post in the pre-nursing student forum) and was seeking advice on how you knew a nursing career was right for you.

I have been on this site everyday for the last two weeks trying to read and process as much info as possible to decide if I am capable of being a nurse (I have doubts about myself).

One thing I have had a hard time with is trying to figure out what these acronyms stand for. I swear I've never seen anything like it. I kind of feel like I'm on a game show or something trying to solve riddles when I read a post that is full of them. (A little Classic Concentration with Alex Trebek from back the 80's anyone?) Is there a quick guide or index somewhere to help figure these out?

I'm driving around acronym hell without a map....

Thanks for your time (and if anyone has any info they could post on my other thread in the pre-nursing forum that would be awesome!)

Excellent sites for everyone! Great finds.

Wait a second, wasn't there a sticky for abbreviations somewhere on this site? I'll look around and get back to you, natron. Oh, and welcome to Allnurses~
