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 ther...

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. A...

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 t...

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 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 gr...

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

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

Any help or comments would be great. I have to do a nursing process paper and we have to have 10 Nur Diag prioritized. Also, we have to do 5 Care Plans on the top 5. Any help would be great, and rationales as to why it should be 1,2,3,ect would be gr...

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 ...

"Methods are many, but principles are few." a wise woman has said many times. Each instructor is going to have their own method. As long as you are doing your check off with the right priciples and keeping everything "safe", then you should be fine....

100% pass rate past 3 years. Orangeburg-Calhoun Tech College, SC

We have different instructions that go over different lessons. Each instructor makes up her own questions for the test for the lectures that she did for that unit. And let me tell you, they ALL get their questions from different sources. Some mainly ...

I would believe in order for you to graduate with your class you would have to take those along with the nursing classes. I guess you could take those at the end, but you would have to wait to graduate with the next set of nursing students (ours is ...

hahaha, I love this! I start this fall, and was wondering how I would deal with the pooh. I think I will get used to it. I just don't want the patient to be embarrassed, that's my fear. I know if I were the patient, I would definitely be.

I can't believe 40 people failed it and no one thinks anything is wrong with this at the school!? How many are in the class total? We only have 80 nursing students accepted into the nursing prog, so that would be half the class! As for you questi...

I suggest that you call your advisors at each of these schools. Tell them you weren't accepted and that you would like to know what you could do to up your chances for next time. They may look at your file and wonder why themselves. Things happen,...

OMG! I kept refreshing and I know I visited the page every 30 mins to check from atleast 9am to 9pm last night! NOTHING. I was fearing that the site may have shutdown! I'm a pesimist some times! Just glad its back up and running!
