I believe midwifery is around 15-20 if not a little less!

Sorry but is no one thinking about the fact that OP is not eligible for new grad jobs since it has been 7 years and is also not eligible for other jobs because they require experience? If you have to take the NCLEX 3+ times (and it takes you 7 years ...

If you haven't been able to pass after 3 times I would re-evaluate if nursing is for you

Hey guys, just a reminder to try to breathe (: The waiting will be over before you know it. Also, for any newcomers, feel free to private message with any questions!

I worked in my first psych facility for a little over a year, I was punched once (in the head unfortunately). HOWEVER I will say that the amount of good days I had and the fulfillment I got from the work far outweighed that one bad experience and I w...

The difference here is that the grain you went against had actual evidence to back your side up (by the way good job on this fight), while OPs has literally nothing because it has been disproven a million times over.

We were drug tested at the beginning of our program, every three months during depending on the clinical site, and whenever else they want to (basically, we are subject to a test at any time).

The three main checks we have always learned is check the measurement (e.g. make sure the tape is at the length on the tube it is supposed to be to check if the tube has either slid out or moved farther in), check the pH of the tube contents, and Che...

Your options are: get vaccinated or don't go to nursing school. (and potentially contract a life-threatening illness that is totally preventable, but that's a topic for another thread since you don't want to debate this "controversial but not really"...

...didn't you just get done talking about the women you worked with in nursing...through this entire thread?

Oh thank goodness you went back to your safe little bubble of manhood. Masculinity so fragile.

Ok live off of warehouse work then? Is there supposed to be a question somewhere within this paragraph of whining?

All of the posts like this have the same theme in common- if one question was enough to make you fail the course you don't know the material and you shouldn't move on, whether or not that one particular question was correct. Don't get yourself into a...

Private message me if you want info about the schedule!

This is an older post but please, please consider finding an ego check before finishing nursing school.

I'm not sure where you are looking but a fat embolism has very similar symptoms to a PE- restlessness, tachypnea, dyspnea, tachycardia

Other people have said it, but make sure your entire arm is in line over your hands, then you can kinda just drop your body weight into the compressions and it will be much easier. A lot of people make the mistake of trying to use their upper body st...

If you have your syllabi already, you could start skimming the first day's reading to have a general idea of what will be covered. Other than that, I would focus on relaxing, really enjoy the last few weeks before the program starts and get yourself ...

Wow, I'm actually really shocked at the replies on this. I have a completely different opinion I guess. As far as the racial slurs, if she is not using them at work I don't think that is reportable to her employer (although I wish it was because in a...

Totally depends on where you're employed for the residency. You negotiate pay with that employer, the school has nothing to do with that.

I don't know exactly what we do for the capstone project. But the residency year is a year where you work as an NP full time and are paid/get course credit for it at the same time. And then you complete your project based on that work. It's basically...

We actually just had a meeting on this today- the residency is worth 5 credits per semester, so you pay tuition for those credits because you have a capstone project during your residency. So you do pay tuition that year but much less than during the...

You should never NEVER fake in front of your clinical instructor- you need to be up front with them about what you know and don't know BEFORE you go into the patient's room. The only thing you should be faking is your confidence in front of the patie...

"Nursing care," which I'm guessing means skills and hands-on work to you, is something you should be learning in clinicals. The point of lecture isn't to teach those things but to help you understand WHY you are doing them. What is going on with the ...

Sounds like you don't actually want to be a nurse and want to blame the school for your decision to leave instead of admitting it wasn't for you
