Well, I usually make A's on my papers, I just REALLY hate them (in our ADN prg we write at least 4-5 papers a semester..is that common for other ADN prg?)...I have a hard time putting them together with research and stuff... Oh well, I was hoping. As for documentation, I always get really good compliments. I think I just hate to write b/c I hate to research and put it all together. I dunno. I guess everyone is different. Maybe I'm just lazy when it comes to that b/c I have never liked to write. The more I write I guess the more I will learn to enjoy it. Thanks for all your help.

I couldn't find a forum appropriate for this question, so I figured this one would be ok. I am graduating from an ADN program next week and I am wanting to look in to continuing my education within the next year, possibly two. I have heard that there are many different online programs. One of the main issues I have heard about are that some of them require tons of papers to be written. Some don't. I don't know about others but I HATE to write papers. I have difficulty writing a good paper and would hate to go back to school and be steady writing papers. My main question is, do you know of any of the online (reputable) colleges where they don't require a lot of papers to be written? I mean I know there will be paper requirements, but I just don't want to be writing a paper every single week, I'd rather be learning nursing curriculum. Writing is my weak point. Thanks for any info.

Thanks for all of your info on this. I just find it kind of funny our nursing school has never mentioned this to us. Not that is makes a difference. I love to learn knew things. I am so excited about graduating and starting work this June! YAY!

I will take a look at your resume and cover letter if you like. We just finished a 2 week lecture on cover letters and resumes. Things to do, things not to do, and so forth. PM me on here if you would like me to take a look. Good luck to ya! I graduate in May and I have a job starting on Surgical Unit. I have a lot of people in my class who have job offers for the ER. So, obviously they are looking for new faces there.

Why does one need to do CE credits when they become an RN? They haven't mentioned this to us at all in our nursing classes that we would have to take credits or anything. I'm just curious why one needs to do this? I actually have a few test from the AJN that I have completed and will send in when I get my license, I just want to know what they do for me besides gaining knowledge? I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any information.

I'm wanting to make a folder of papers and information I will need when being hired. I know they will make a copy of my drivers license, they'll want a copy of my nursing licenses, but what other things will they want? Thanks so much!

Thanks for your help!

I need to come up with 5 in order from most important to least.

Thank you all so much, these were very helpful. End of semester and my brain is fried!

I also already have impaired phy mobility and impaired verbal communication.

I need atleast 5 nursing diagnoses for a pt who has had a R. brain stroke (MCA), L weakenss (CVA). Hx of CAD, HTN, hyperlipidemia, hx of 2 CVAs, cardiomyopathy, lg. ventricular thromobis, heart cath., CHF, RF, and facial drooping. I had too many self care deficits. This pt could do pretty much everything for himself except wash parts of his body (underarms), but I already have a ND for that. HELP, please!!

toriphile23>> it would be hygiene, she didn't know how to wipe properly and it was causing her UTIs.

Thank you EVERYONE!!

Thanks jade. I will definitely pm you if I can EVER think of any more diagnoses.

Thanks. And I do have the NANDA ND book. I just don't know how to word the diagonosis for pain being that it is coming from two different sources. One being her arthritis and the other being from her surgery. Thanks again for you input. I think my brain is failing me with all this stuff! lol
