  2. what to look for in 1st job as BSN

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Nursing

  4. new BSN in postpartum nights?

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is great advice, thanks. I am actually getting my NRP certification next weekend (while I'm still in school). Hopefully it will show that I am truly interested in maternal/infant. Out of 3...

  5. new BSN in postpartum nights?

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the input. I'm really hoping I get the position. I am still a little concerned b/c I've never worked nights but I think I may like it. For those working nights who do self-scheduling, do...

    SpecFuz replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am taking the HESI exit exam in 2 weeks and am feeling the exact same way as you. Completely nervous. I am envious of those that have scored 99.99 on Hesi's. We have to take course-related HESI's...

  15. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    SpecFuz replied to Daeny's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 29 and will be mid-30 when I graduate. It has been a concern of mine to have to wait until after I graduate to even "begin trying" to get pregnant. I think it's a personal decision though on...

  16. What does this mean???

    SpecFuz posted a topic in General Students

    I hope someone out there can help me calm down. I just wrapped up my 2nd clinical semester today! I was so glad to make it through pharmacology and med-surg nursing. I made a 98 on my last pharm...

  17. What does this mean???

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    Okay, obviously need to clarify 2 assumptions that have been made. a) I did not at any time have to sign ANYTHING stating that I couldn't discuss questions and more importantly b) At my school...

  18. What does this mean???

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    hmmm...not sure which kind of HESI it was. I might as well ask though, any recommended nclex-study books or computer-based review sites?

  19. What does this mean???

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    Our HESI covers the material we've learned to this point not just one area (such as fundamentals). Next semester it will have added more and more each semester. I just wish our school gave all the...

  20. What does this mean???

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    Thank you. Yes, this is the first time they've administered it to 2nd-semester clinical students. We actually take one EVERY semester until we graduate, which for me isn't until may 2005. Thanks...

  21. flu shot hypersensitivity

    SpecFuz replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, he keeps swearing that he's had no difficulty breathing, swallowing, or anything like that. I just figured the hives/itching would have subsided after 5 or 6 days and 2 or 3 days on...

  22. flu shot hypersensitivity

    SpecFuz posted a topic in General Nursing

    My father got a flu shot for the first-time after I kept after him. I've always gotten one and except for local soreness on the arm, I've never had any problem. He was reluctant, but now in his 60's...

  25. How to choose the BEST answer?

    SpecFuz posted a topic in General Students

    Hey All, Well, I passed my foley check-off today. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless right? Multiple choice questions worded as nclex questions are another story. One of my teachers (who is...
