Thank you everyone! My coworkers and I are concerned with the fact that this was not talked about with us first on how to prepare and some of the questions you all are asking are ones that have been left unanswered. We don’t know who has been in the...
Hello all! I hope everyone is doing well and staying as safe as possible during this time. I am writing today because I am struggling morally with what to do. I work for a nursing school and we are being asked to come in the beginning of May to clean...
You can always ask your program director as well. For example, my state does not allow students to do IV pushes because they are operating under an LPN license most of the time so the school just has a policy to not pursue IV pushes at all. There sh...
There are lots of schools now that hire remote nursing faculty that are classified as PRN positions and you don't have to relocate. There was a job recently posted on LinkedIn for an ATI nurse educator where you help students with NCLEX review. Hope ...
Sorry-very long post!! I work as a CNA in a nursing facility. I have been there for almost two years and haven't had any problems with the ladies I work with (other CNAs) and we work well together as a team. Two new girls have started working with us...

I am a senior nursing student at Ursuline College in Cleveland Ohio. It is a great school and requires a 2.5 to get into the BSN program. As long as you have taken the right classes and meet their requirements, you are admitted.
I'm in my junior year of a BSN program. Here is what my schedule looks like: Monday: Psych nursing lecture 8:30am-11am Tuesday: Psych clinicals 7:30am-2pm Wednesday: Psych clinicals 7:30am-2pm Thursday: BioEthics lecture 10am-12:30pm Friday...
I am a nursing student in my junior year of a BSN program. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 14. I was very young, but my family provided me great support through the hard times. Since then I have been able to manage my condition with antide...
I just started passing meds two semesters ago. I usually keep my meds in the packages they come in, just in case the patient refuses or wants to know more info about the meds. (I don't want to mix up which color each drug is.) Always check the patien...
I am loving it, but of course, it isn't perfect. I enjoy taking care of patients and learning how the body works-it just fascinates me. But then again, I don't get to see my friends or fiance as much. I work as well. That's why I try to give myself "...
Always ask questions..I can't stress that enough. Like others have stated, the first day is always the craziest. If you run out of things to do, you can always ask your clinical instructor or the nurse you are working with if you can watch certain pr...
I'm a junior in a BSN program now, and at times, I still feel overwhelmed! All of the skills end up coming together..yesterday was my first day back and we had to demonstrate the skills we learned last semester on the school's mannequins. These skill...
There are people at my school who are double majoring. They take their nursing courses during the year and fit in the Biology stuff during the summer. Doing both is a LOT of work...or at least it sounds like it.
We have ATI too. I have a love/hate relationship with it as well. Our university started using it, and it really has helped determine who will pass the NCLEX. I really like the books though; they are straight-forward and a good review!
Nursing school can get intense. My instructor had this to say: "If nursing school were easy, everyone would be able to do it." Even though it can get hard at times, I found that it is important to keep a support system around you. I am very glad that...
