Septoplasty is just surgery to correct a deviated septem. I found out I had a deviated septem, which makes complete sense.... A few years ago I remember complaining to my mom that it felt like I "had something stuck up my nose." Apparently that is ...

If you don't want to read it all that's fine. Just take this test and post your four letters (the preference % isn't necessary but you can if you want) or just post your type if you already know it: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp Yo...

Hello my ... What do you call yourselves anyway. Informaticists? My story is a long one, but I will keep it short: I went to school, got my BSN and RN, but never practiced as a nurse. I did not feel called to patient care and wanted to get out of...

I've always enjoyed physical fitness and really value taking care of my body. I was a competitive gymnast but in the process of gymnastics ruined my wrist. A few months after having to retire I was stretching splits and must've not warmed up proper...

Hey everyone. I could write a novel on this subject but I'm going to try to be relatively brief and you all are welcome to ask questions as necessary. The Good: -Graduated from Nursing School May 2008 with a BSN -Passed NCLEX first try November 2008 ...

A year in the hospital = not happening. I'm not saying that to be stubborn, but I'm being realistic... I'd rather work at Walmart than in the hospital, so if no one can present some viable options then I will have to look elseware, but I just wanted...

Well, I just passed the NCLEX. All I got was a small letter from Pearson-Vue... No framable certificate? No card? No nothing? If that's all there is, then that's kind of lame for $300... Taking the NCLEX was a deal I made with my parents. But, ...

Yeah, but that would be a nursing job where photography is an asset. I want a photography job where nursing is an asset.

That's a wonderful service. My hope is to find a paying job, but that's something that I might consider doing in the future as a volunteer, or something that, were I hired on staff at any given hospital, I'd be more than happy to do for parents of i...

Hm... it seems babies/peds would be my strongest selling point. I'll focus on that as I try to find/create a position for myself. Thanks! If anyone else has any input I'd love to hear it.

No prob. And yeah. Nothing has every grossed me out in nursing. I could deal with the poop, blood, sputum, etc. I also gave the most excellent care I could and feigned compassion if only to help the patients, because whether or not I liked my job...

Virgo, I think everyone in nursing goes through the 'OH MY GOSH I CAN'T DO THIS!!!" phase. When someone like yourself expresses doubts about nursing the typical response is "Keep going! It'll get better!!!" At least, that's what my instructors and...

MORE PEOPLE THAT POST THE BETTER! I need statistical data for a project I'm doing on touch-typing, and input from as many people as possible on here could really help me out. You would greatly help me by answering the following: 1) Do you have the ...

...as if it's not hard enough already. MAN it is hard to study or focus or be motivated about doing anything when these low spells hit. Anyone else deal with frequent bouts of depression? Normally mine are pretty short-lived, but I think the pressu...

So here's a little preface to bring you up to date before I ask my question: I'm in my senior year of nursing school and basically... it royally sucks. I hated the last two semesters and I'm already frustrated by this semester. Whereas I was makin...

...just indulge me. Lets say I finish nursing school, pass the NCLEX, but never actually go on to work as a nurse. Will I hold the title "RN" for life, or will the title expire? If so, when? If it expires, what will my new title be? In other words, ...

I'm just contemplating if it's even worth taking the NCLEX if I have no intention of being a nurse. If the title RN would stick with me, I'd take the test, but if not, I don't see the point in wasting the money. I'm kind of at the point where I reali...

What about the RN portion of it?

I'm a senior nursing student (I know this isn't the nursing student forum.. hear me out...)... and... I just feel like I chose the completely wrong major. I'm not touchy-feely, I'm not inspired by nursing, and as a rule I really don't like interactin...

...don't ever say "diagnosises" as the plural of diagnosis. I have heard two of my peers use "diagnosises" this week and it really makes them sound like idiots when they're very intelligent. If we as nurses want to be perceived as professionals inste...

Well... after I get my RN it looks like it's time for a career change.

I have royally ticked off one instructor for not doing one absurd 12-hour-long assignment that she wanted me to do, but that wasn't for a grade and wasn't in the syllabus haha. It became this huge ordeal. The professor scared everyone else, but I was...

Haha... My first clinical I had the nursing instructor that everyone said was hardcore (EVEN THE TEACHERS)... Needless to say it was traumatic. Just try to relax... even though that's probably impossible. It's so easy to get tunnel vision at first......

Wow. If patients only knew the FULL story when their nurses introduced themselves: "Hi, my name's Sue. I talked on my cell phone during lectures, never studied in nursing school, got Cs the entire way through, barely passed the NCLEX, and am a dun...

Depends on the teacher really. Ask the senior nursing class how to best study. Definitely do the study guide! If it is in the guide, expect it to be on the test. After the test, make mental note of the questions and see how helpful the study guide...
