Thanks for taking the time out of your day to revise MammaNurse2Be=) I really appreciate all of this. I actually did start over. When thinking of what I wanted to write, I felt that tying in my personal life (my dad and family) would be a great theme...

First of all, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback as it really helped me to think further and be more specific into what I want to say. I actually was not using this statement for different schools but taking your comments into thought...

I am in the process of applying for grad school to be admitted to a FNP program. I have about 2 years of adult med/surg experience but absolutely no work experience with pediatric patients. I remember feeling nervous during my peds and ob clinicals d...

There was a code today when I worked. Amid all the chaos someone yelled the pt is HIV + ! Then all of a sudden face masks with the splash guards were passed out and put on by the Docs and RNs working close to the pt. I've seen a couple of codes and t...

Hey Kahlann! I am going to post a link to a thread I started over 1.5 yrs ago before I was an RN ( I was 21). I felt (and still do sometimes now at 23) regarding the whole young age thing. I KNOW I look really young...and don't mind admitting it. I u...

I am a new RN grad with just a few months of working experience. However I am planning on going back to school soon. I just have a question for everyone who has or is applying to grad school right now. I am planning on applying within the next 2 yea...

Hmm...I recently had to do that and I thought you just let what you irrigate into the catheter drain out by itself. This was what I was told to do at least.

Is there anyone that is interested in learning more about transplant patients and the care that goes into providing for them? I have worked on a med-surg/transplant floor for almost a year now. We most frequently see kidney and liver patients but we ...

Hello everyone! I am currently researching on Chicago area schools that offer a graduate program for NP. I am still learning more about what each NP specialty entails (FNP? Adult? Acute Care?). Basically I have no idea what I would like to focus on ...

One of my colleagues had a patient recently whose family requested a chaplain to come see the pt and speak with the relatives. The pt was not doing very well at the time. The nurse contacted the chaplain and he came up fairly quickly. The family requ...

When applying for jobs to the larger university hospitals in the Chicago area, I did not come across any institution that were offering sign on bonuses. I believe Loyola University Medical Center did a few years back but that is no longer the case no...

:redbeathe I am in love with this site. :redbeathe I wished I had found this place when I was still in nursing school but luckily I discovered it when I was studying for NCLEX. BELIEVE me this was the place to go for help and when I needed to vent. I...

I just have a question about where to test out stethoscopes at. I know there are plenty of places to buy online for a great price but I would like to try one on before committing to a purchase. Are there any stores in the Chicago land area I can go t...

I am a new nurse currently in the last few weeks of my orientation on a busy med/surg unit. I have worked on this unit as a tech during nursing school so I am pretty familiar with the staff here. I have worked morning shift mainly with one preceptor ...

Well I can't speak for others but my life during school was super busy. I attended a 4 yr BSN program and the first 2 yrs were just classes. The last 2 years were full of clinical rotations and I was BUSY. I had clinical days twice a week Tues/Thurs....

I just have a question for those who may know about what happens after taking the NCLEX. Do I have to apply for anything else? I took the NCLEX on 7/11 and found out I passed on 7/13 via quick results....now it has been about a week or so and I have ...

7/11 was a lucky day...but it was also a horrible day... today 7/13...unlucky as it seems...is a WONDERFUL day because I just found out I passed boards!!!!!!!! Life can finally go on~! =) :balloons:

So tomorrow 7/11 is the big day for me and I am soooo nervous! I scheduled my test for 1pm because I know I am not a morning person and I didn't want to sit in rush hour traffic to make it to an 8am test. That would make me feel soo anxious and frust...

My experience...I got to the test center pretty early today and sat in my car for about 15 minutes before I went in. I was soo nervous and I couldn't help to take a look at some notes that I brought with me. That helped me calm down a bit just review...
