I am looking into the flight nursing/medical escort field and I'm not sure where to start. I have >4 years Exp in Trauma/ER/ICU with a Level II trauma hospital in SO FL. I have many certifications including TNCC, ATCN, NRP & CEN. I have sent m...

Hi there! I hope that one of you would be kind enough to help me. I am a nursing student in the United States and I am currently in Psychiatric Nursing. I have a project that is due in the morning and I am at my wits end. Yes I realize this is the l...

Thank you for the responses that I received. They were very informative and helped me out tremendously. I also learned something new about your health care system. I had always assumed that your health care system was great, which I am sure it is ...

Are there "state" institutions? If so, are most people with mental disorders committed to an institution, or are they treated via outpatient treament? Are drugs prescribed readily for disorders? You stated that it is a Socialized care system that i...

UGH! I just typed this nice long response about my experience and I somehow deleted it before it posted. So, I'm going to make this one short and sweet! My study group was lucky enough to be able to practice our sterile technique & injections o...

HI everyone. I dont post much in here due to being extremely shy, but I do read every day. I have an assignment due next week for my Fundamentals class that I am just totally stuck on. We have to create a Wellness Care Plan for ourself. It has ...

We did Physical assessments and V/S our first week and were tested the following week. We were required to only put a gown on over our clothing and to take off our shoes for the Pedal Pulse sites. The only skin that was shown was when we pulled up ...

We are required to wear a bright blue polo shirt and white scrub pants. No Thongs allowed & Underwear are required, so hello panty lines!(written policy). Actually Body by Victoria (Victorias Secret) has a great underpant in nude with no panty ...

I use my laptop for every lecture. I use to print out my lecture outlines and write the notes to the side and highlight like crazy. Looking back now, what a pain in the butt. You are wasting so much energy. Take the laptop, download the lectures ...

My opinion only of course, but nursing school requires alot of energy. POSITIVE ENERGY. if someone is sucking that energy out of you, then get out of the situation. Either by asking him/her what their problem is ( in a nice way of course) or tryin...

That is a fantastic site for practice. Thanks so much!

First of all calm down LOL. You need to be aware that the NLN scoring sheet has many figures on it. Which figure is required to be a 100? I have attached an actual NLN scoring sheet so you can see what it looks like. This was the example given to us...

Any and all reviews of which PDA is the most useful for Nursing School PLEASE. I have looked at many, but now I'm wanting to hear from actual owners. Please also include any software that you believe is helpful and why you would (/would not) recom...

Thank you so much!

I'm in the same boat! All pre-req's done. starting Fundamentals in August for 8 credits. 2x wk for lecture, 2x wk for clinicals/labs. All are morning classes. I am so excited!!

Oh & I must be misunderstanding something about the A&P books. My A&P books cost me $130+32+65 and that was the coloring book, the textbook and the lab manual. For I and II. AND then i sold them all on eBay for about $50 more than the...

I have 18 "required books" and 22 "recommended books" it's crazy. I spoke to some 2nd yr students and they said that they didn't even crack most of their books until after Fundamentals. I'm not really sure what to think but the book list would cos...

We had orientation back on May 5th and they told that we will not know our clinical rotations until July 3rd, which is when we can enroll in Fall classes. it's been driving me crazy because I have a full time job that i need to keep and in order to ...

My program has a 100% pass rate for the NCLEX. What I dont know is how many actually make it to the end. That isnt something that my school readily admits too. They are very committed to our success though. We are assigned a "Mentor" on the day of ...

A natural emotional reaction is never "wrong". I think your BF was being a little too harsh on you. Maybe he was having a bad day also? My husband is very supportive but he does get alittle impatient sometimes. I guess I can not blame him. He's b...

Count me in too! That sounds like a great idea.

My school requires that we sign the waiver also, even if we are in the middle of the Hep series. It very clearly states that I have declined to take the Hep B shots. I was concerned about this at first, but I got over it quick when I was told that ...

Hi I'm Cheryl and my ADN classes will begin in August. I AM SO EXCITED!! :monkeydance: I'm 33, mom of 2 and I just decided for a serious career change! (I've been an accountant for 13 yrs) I've always wanted to work in a hospital even as a ...
