Well thanks. It is hard. I try not to give medical advice either, although so many ask, (including my family, my friends, strangers, ha). We are just usually a caring bunch and willing to take the time to listen, don't you think? Hey, maybe your friend will work as a "nurse" nurse someday. They really need us out there!

Hi Guys, I don't post much but just wanted to add....I am a community health nurse. I work with MICA patients and the very mentally ill. I track them down and give them shots, education, etc., in an "outside" setting. I guess one would say I never "paid my dues" as a hospital nurse. It was not for me. I do not deal with medical as much as mental illness but I am still a nurse. I am an RN and will have a BSN in 3 months (one more semester, yay). I think there is a place for all of us. Nursing school is hard and we learn a lot and have to take that big ol' test to prove it. Just my own 2 cents.

I am doing the NCSBN review right now. I think the questions are harder than Saunders. The content seems about on par with the Saunders Comprehensive. What a nervous time in life this is...and wasn't nursing school bad enough???
