Which ones are you or have you used for preparing? Which ones seem to help the most? TIA :)

Thank you.

I wasn't sure where to put this, so please be patient with me. I've just passed my NCLEX-RN (found out this morning) and I'd like some information on hospitals in my area. We've recently moved to Lexington, MA. I would prefer not to work in Boston. ...

I have two teenagers, 18 and 15. I graduated in May after being in college full time for 6 years (we moved halfway through my first program). I really respect that you listen to your children. I also talk to my kids and like to get their opinions and...

Thank you.

In my school, theory wise, the course that held the endocrine and cardiac systems was the hardest (we called it Adults II). Clinical wise, peds was the hardest. Welcome to the boards. :)

Connie, you must be very proud, your sons are very sweet to support you and each other. :) Enjoy the walk. BBnurse, I'll keep your sister and family in my prayers. God bless you all.

I'm keeping you my prayers. :)

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. :)

Good luck!!! Let us know when you find out. *keeping my fingers crossed for you* :)

Thanks everyone. mkue, I'm waiting on my ATT from the state. Then I'll schedule the test. Ya'll pray for me! I'm pretty nervous.

Well, I started with Mosby's, then moved on to Lippincott, and now I'm working on Kaplan's. I guess I'm just trying to reassure myself that I'm doing the right thing. I like Kaplan's more than the others. Thank you mkue, for answering. :)

Mr. L The great thing about Tabors is that it also has symptoms, treatment, prognosis, and nursing implications listed. And in the Appendix, it covers nursing diagnosis. It's a great help for care plans and prep sheets (we were required to these on ...

I agree with Kristi, ADN programs are cheaper and you can get your BSN while you work as a RN. Also, in the area I went to school the hospitals here paid for you to continue your education. Good luck with your decision.

Nursnancy, Don't worry about being the odd man out in the class room setting. Most of the people in my class are over the age of 30 and some older. The only difference we've noticed is that we older students' joints crack when we move. LOL

I second everything Sandra said (she beat me to it). :) So how was it worked out?

Yep, we've been over-recruited in the last month. :chuckle It almost gives you a big head. And almost 90% of my class have jobs waiting on them. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. My family and I are moving to Boston, MA. So I have to wait unt...

Melissa, your eyes are fine. No arguments here. :) I want to politely and respectfully disagree with poor Mario. Not all nursing students are like those you discussed. There are three different schools in my area that use the same hospitals (actually...

I don't know for sure, but I would think that due to clinical and lab requirements it would be next to impossible to get a nursing degree through correspondence courses. Anyone know for sure?

I am so sorry to hear that you are all having such a bad time in school. My program is totally different. I have made some lifelong friends and our instructors are very supportive. Every instructor that we've had has made a point of telling us that t...

hi! :roll
