Saunders is great use the CD analytical level and you should be fine.

Contacting HR is a great idea. Thanks 

hello all, I am up for an interview with a great company for a nurse manager position in a primary care center that provides care across all ages. I currently work in an academic setting and have experience with the tasks required (no title). I am 1 year away from my MSN with a focus in nursing administration and financial leadership. I am not unhappy where I am currently, however I am looking for growth and this seems to be a great opportunity. I did work for this organization as staff relief and enjoyed the philosophy and mission and vision. i am compensated very well where I am at now with great benefits. this organization also has some great benefits however they are known to not be the best in terms of salary, my question is what is a realistic offer to accept it is located in Hollywood, fl. and is part of seven hospital in addition to 4 other PCC's. any thoughts are appreciated and valued, that you all for your time and input. I look forward to hearing your feed back

you will be fine. for a nursing (adn).the math you need is elementary algebra. as for cna training you will learn how to take vs, make a bed, how to give a bath, adl's, ppe's, basic dressing changes, a light over view of the systems, and in some school how to draw labs. good luck and enjoy your journey! tabbycoley, rn, bsn

Ok here's the scoop I graduated from BCC Central in 06", I was 3 months pregnant with my second daughter when I started so I understand your anxiety. First you must STUDY 10-12 hours a day no joke if they say something more than once in class REMEMBER it! It's on the test. Get a tape recorder and tape lectures so you can go back and get test info. Saunders NCLEX get it:twocents:, ALOT of test questions come from the book as well as the CD for the whole program. KNOW your math; nobody wants to go to LPN school because you miss two math questions on the test. If you have Prof. Kantis your lucky she is a great resource, firm but willing to teach. You will REALLY learn a lot from her, and TRUST me once you get out with your RN you'll be thankful for all that she taught you. Remember you are learning a whole new way of thinking, it takes time, the best way to study is to get as many NCLEX prep books as you can and practice the questions, that will prepare you for what you will be excepted to understand. They want you to learn to think analytical. Also I personally LOVE the Incredible easy series :up:ie: med-surg, peds, mother baby, critical care they are on CD so you can practice the questions and review the rational. Reading the text can get over whelming I know this is a nice way to break it up and know that you ARE understanding the material as well as how to process it. Good luck any other questions feel free to ask. Tabbycoley, RN,BSN

It depends on what you want out of it. I was under the impression that a BSN would make me a better nurse. I will graduate in may of 09 and my current GPA is 3.78 I have learned nothing. I haven't even needed to read one book. It is very easy. The only thing I fear is that if I choose to go on to by MSN I may be ill prepared:confused:. here's the link http://www.nova.edu/ Nova Southeastern University the main campus is in Ft. Lauderdale FL.

My class started out 74 (largest class BCC ahd done to big if you ask me) we graduated 15 of my orignial track

I graduated from BCC in 06" great school I hated it while I was there but now that I've been working and have seen other nurses from other schools I"m glad it was so hard it makes working so much easier!

I have had psoriasis for many years and have suffered as you. tried many treatments. what has worked for me to keep it under control is TANNING. I go after my shift every day that I work (not on my days off) My derm. wanted me to try lazer therapy in her office along with my injections. I just didn't want to be in her office 2x a week. Being a nurse is very stressful and that can trigger flar ups. the tanning helps with the flair ups and gives me a chance to relax after a STRESSFUL day. I've beentanning for about 2 years now and my skin has never been better. I can wear a bikinni or backless shirt and not be embarrassed. Now I know the risk of skin ca but as with any med treatment there are risk I have weight the risk and bennys for me this was the best choice. I also thought about enbral (weakens your immune system not the best idea for working in a hospital.) If you ever want to chat I'm here it's alway nice to know that your not alone.

how about a pca giving you a bp not once but 3 times. you get an order for vasotech IV hang the med and one hour later the pca says that's not the pt with the high bp!!!!f but it's ok I put it in the computer under the right pt (which was not my pt at all) Wait it' gets worse (pt was fine) but I totally flipped out and cursed her out at the top of my lungs screaming profanities in front of my manger (after she lied and said that she told me it was the other pt who was again not my pt! :flamesonb
