I am very interested. Just not sure how to receive it from you. Thanks

I too suffer from chronic pain. I recently came across a doctor while in the hospital after surgery, she was amazing and gave me a nugget of thought that ERa and doctors should know. We could not get my pain under control and I was miserable, not onl...

I did a periop program with a 2 year contract at a local hospital. The OR was so not for me the contract makes you feel so stuck. THis particular OR was very toxic. I would recommend against it unless you are 99% sure this is were you want to be. I k...

I just want to say I am sorry. I am in the same boat. I tore a tendon in my foot and the doctor was so incompetent I ended up with complex regional pain syndrome as well as another very major surgery. It has been awhile but I find myself so angry tha...

I graduated from concorde in 2007 with an associate degree in nursing, sat for the NClex and passed. worked as a nurse at Lutheran medical center and now work as an OR nurse at Swedish. I am not a huge fan of the program but you do get a degree and c...

I graduated from concorde 3 years ago, and have worked at Lutheran Medical Center for 2yrs. I have had no problem with finding a job. Also I know for a fact that Regis will take Concorde credits. the only credits they won't take are the general eds s...

boy i wish i had that problem lol, I have been called off more than called in. I am not saying anything bad, just here in colorado things are so bad. I got called off tonight, we only had 8pts. I would definitley have said no if they called me that ...

Hi I am 24 also and I have a fused joint in my foot, I have to say nursing has been challenging I am out right now after having the fused joint cleaned out and a repair done to the cartilage. Even though it has been challenging I am still glad that I...

I am a fairly new nurse and one of my best friends on my floor is an aide, I know that she really appreciates that I have no problem helping clean up a patient. I think it is silly to hear a nurse who is already in the room with the patient say I wil...

I would just like to say that I graduated from concorde and had absolutely no problem finding a job, our clinicals were at great hospitals and I feel like i got a very good education. I also work with a good number of DSN graduates and they are wonde...

hi, I used suzannes plan. It was awesome Good luck

I have been on my own now for 3 months and they have been incredibly challenging, but I think as far as your experience goes depends on where you work and how helpful your co workers are. I work with a wonderful group of people and I never feel like...

So at my school we have to take these things called ERIs and they are the most horrible scary tests i have ever taken. To graduate we have to pass the cap test by ERI, we get two tries and a practice test before, well the teacher did not schedule en...

I was one of those students that was dead set against doing med/surg. I said I would never work on the floor. I am working on a orthopedic med surg floor and I am so glad that I am there. I would say go where you are happy but don't completely give u...

HI, I have not written much on these boards but i love reading them so i thought i would post what happened to me today in hopes that it would make me feel better. my peds clinical instructor is very hard to deal with, so that being said, i had a ba...

Hi, i will be working on an orthopedic floor, i am glad that this has helped other people.

Hi all, I wrote this, yeah it was resolved, nothing else ever came from it and the teacher doesn't even teach there anymore. I have since graduated and will be starting my first job soon. I appreciate all the responses.

We had to wear turqoise colored scrubs to both clinical and class, white shoes but they were fairly lenient on them just not too much color. Hair up, pony tails were fine, and our nametags. All the same with nails makeup and jewelry Nothing too dra...

Hey, I am sorry to hear the doctor didn't put you in a boot. I was supposed to be completely off my crutches and walking by now but bearing weight is still excruiciating, so i called my doctor and he thinks i might have gotten a stress fx in my heel...

Wow, some people should just not be nurses, I am so sorry that you had such an awful experience at the ER. It is amazing what some people compare things too. How much longer do you have to be off it? I have a fairly high threshhold of pain, but th...

Hey, I am so sorry you broke your ankle, I am in the exact same boat as you, I just got my license but i tore both my peroneal tendons so badly they had to be replaced, I have been off it for 8 weeks now and just 2 days ago was allowed to weight bare...

Hi, I took my test in Nebraska, and am registered in colorado, i called the colorado board of nursing and they told me that it didn't matter where you took it as long as you were registered in the state you want your license in. But it is always goo...

Hi all, I am so sorry you are going through this, I read through your posts and you all have tried so many different things. I strongly urge all of you to take a look at suzannes plan, I was so convinced I would be the one to take the test 6 or 7 ti...

Hi, I completely know how you feel!!!! I took mine today for the second time, I got around 220-240 I can't remember exactly how many. I did suzannes plan and I don't feel confident at all, I was feeling pretty good this morning after the test, but ...

I am so sorry you didn't pass. I did not pass the first time I took it and it was quite a blow I felt like i was prepared. I am taking it again Feb. 7th and I realized that I was not as ready as i thought I was the first time. I used suzannes plan...
