What I'm wondering about is the motivation for going into mental health. If you haven't gotten much exposure to people with mental health concerns, I wonder if there are volunteer opportunities in...
If I just took the exam and it stopped at 119, looking at the table would lead me to conclude that I almost certainly passed. But if I got a single question more than that, now I'm thinking I...
Sometimes in other nursing specialties, there are interesting ways that nurses work with imaging.
Some nurses, for example, are trained to use ultrasound technology to facilitate placement of an...
I think if you really want to assess whether a specialty change is going to do the trick, I would give it at least six months off of orientation. At three weeks on your own, you are probably still...

I'm in a similar place in my program as saheckler. I have felt supported in my program, but it can be a struggle to perform well without sacrificing important family and personal things.
I would...
I realize this is an old thread, but it’s a good question and might help somebody else. If you have any work or clinical experience, you have probably run into a time when you disagreed with...
Good luck to you. It’s a little disconcerting to think that students in the second program will wash out so frequently, but it sounds like you would be an above-average student in that program....
