I definitely understand the frustration. I will be once again writing for my Nurse III. I feel pretty confident this time. I have completed two projects that effect multiple units as well as both VAs in my area. I have been very involved as well. I feel my proficiency addresses all of the standards. I have read other staffs proficiency that are very limited but have received Nurse III. Also at my VA we write our own. I know a lot of people who really add a ton of fluff some far from the truth. If anyone has a proficiency that would be a good example for getting a Nurse III I would be very interested. Thanks

So I have an interview in about two weeks at a major hospital. They do a residency program for new grads which is supposed to be top notch. Well I am very interested in getting in the critical care field. One of the key factors they focus on is critical thinking. Now throughout school there has always been the talk of how important that is. I do it all the time but I just can't think of things off the top of my head with such a broad topic. So I was seeking some advice.

Does NCLEX ask more about nursing implications for these drugs, or just side effects or both. I know the nursing implications cover some side effects - usually the worst ones.

Yeh it is crazy especially with the high demand of nurses. Well I know I can get in the private schools here, just wanted to try a lower cost university first.

Well I went to Books a Million to look over some books. They had a few labeled Nursing Entrance Exam (not test - NET). They had some parts in there that was not on my NET test. Here are the links. Could anyone tell me if these are the right books or where I can find them. http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=3700276049255&isbn=0764559869 http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=3700276049255&isbn=1419551256 http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=3700276049255&isbn=0764123505 http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=3700276049255&isbn=1576854817 Thanks

how do you watch the video. when I click on Watch Webcast it downloads a .rm file and thats it. Its rather small so I wasnt sure what to do with it

Well I took them back in 2003-2004 so i guess it hasn't been 4 yrs. Is that how it is in all states?

Is the ERI study guide the one with a blue cover that says Study Guide for the NET HOBET and HELP found on this site - bottom left area. http://www.eriworld.com/ If not where did u get it. I was considered getting some sort of tutoring. Any opinions?

I took it a few times last summer and couldnt seem to score high enough on the reading/science part. I didnt understand that cause I do extremely well in both reading and science. I don't think we were allowed to go back to previous sections. Maybe because the sections after the reading were short times and there really was no time to go back. Does anyone know a good place for tutoring for it. I am thinking of retrying soon and hope to do much better.

Nope no grants or anything.

I have taken all the nursing prerequisites. Eng, Hist, Anat 1 and 2, Micro, Chem, Soc, Phys, Humanaties and so. Those I have done well it. They are mostly A's and some B's. The GPA from those classes is pretty good, like a 3.6 and probably a 3.71 after this semester. Its just a few engineering grades that pull it down. I was stupid when I was starting college. I never really thought about it all too much. The classes were real hard, and I didn't focus or try hard enough. I was not smart when I started out. So that is hurting me.

I am wanting to get into a BSN program with a long term goal of becoming a CRNA. These schools are just university nursing schools, and they have a limited amount of students they can take. I am sure it has to do with the shortage of nurses. They only look at GPA and that is all. I have some volunteer work on my resume. Maybe nothing special. I have volunteered 5 yrs in a row working as a counselor for kids with MD over the summer for 1 week. I have also tried to get a job in a hospital. Most of the time I am told after my first semester of nursing school I can easily get a job because you learn about giving medicines and such like that. You can also take a CNA course I believe which takes around 9 weeks. I have thought of that but often been busy with school and keep thinking I will get in. I was considering volunteering this summer if I cant get in.

What school is that. I just got to find the right place. A lot of the private schools just really need a good GPA and u to pass the NET. That is what I am going to check out next. Whats the PSB. I know some based mainly on the NET.

Well I have not entered nursing school yet, so I hope this is the right area for help for me. All the Nursing Schools I have applied to looks at your culmulative GPA. Well that is a problem for me cause i started off with a different intended major, took some engineering courses, and some other engineering prerquisites that I didn't post great grades in. I found them uninteresting and just did not do well. So my overall GPA does not seem as good. If you were to just look at the nursing prerquisites they are all great grades. All A's and some B's. My problem is the average GPAs are on average .3 points away from my current GPA. Is this a problem most people had or what can be done about this. I am so lost and just want to get into nursing school and am having so much trouble doing so.

What might cause the pain?
