I'm still in nursing school but will graduate in a year. My youngest is 12 and when he's older and out of the house, I hope to be a travelling nurse. By then I'll be in my late
I got stuck with girls like that in my first year of clinical. They were also in my lecture and would whisper and snicker when other students would ask the instructor to explain something that wasn't...
I was extremely nervous taking the bridge course. I never got a job an a LPN although I had applied just about everywhere. I passed the online course with no problem but when I had to do the skills I...
I also watch RegisterdNurseRN on YouTube. She helps make sense out of so much! I also watch Osmosis on YouTube. Its a cartoon drawing so it makes it fun to watch. You can also print stuff to print out...

Listen to the other posts and enjoy your summer while you can. If you feel you need to get a head start on reading, maybe post a separate question including the school you're attending and ask if...
I LOVE using the ATI books! Its in clear English and you can understand it better than whats it the text books. I'm not sure if you have to be signed up to ATI online with your school but the practice...
unfortunately, nursing course tests are no longer like the definition questions we were use to in the past. these give you scenarios and there may be more than one right answer but you need to pick...
I'm still in nursing school and I'm terrible at reading but wish I'd read more. Writing notes is time consuming so I have a recorder and I'll record myself saying the important info and play it...
