You are right-the nursing supervisor, the ER and ICU are close by. If I needed someone, they could be there quickly. Anesthesiologist is there for awhile, then when patient is obviously stable, they leave. That is my feeling too, that I should get ...

I have been torn every since I started my PACU job. I worked in a inpatient Rehab unit for 2 yrs and absolutely loved it! Times when I thought "I can't believe I get paid to do this." I have been in PACU for 6 months and not loving it. Not sure if it...

I agree, it is alarming and I don't know how they get by with it. No...we don't recover anywhere else. And it doesn't feel safe. Just another reason I don't know if I should stay. I have learned so much in the short time I've been there. But, still f...

I moved to a new town. So I can't go back. I guess I am staying because of the starting over. It's awful and stressful beginning a new job. I wanted a specialty so that in a few years I could do travel nursing. Just hoping it will get better. I have...

Need advice from seasoned nurses on how to get past a med error when others won't let me. I'm a new nurse of 7 months. I accidentally gave humalog instead of humalin N. Followed all the protocol afterwards and the patient was fine. The nurse manager...

I needed to hear that "been there, done that" ...I have been obsessing!! Reading your post actually made me laugh and take a long hard look at myself. I need to move on and put this behind me. Thank for saying what I needed to hear. I have thought ...

Thank you all so much for your input. :) You were all very helpful. Although I want to stay at this hospital, I feel that my boss was so disrespectful of my feelings. She didn't even tell me that she was going to do it. Just blindsided me at the mee...

Hey....I feel your pain. I've been where you have been. Questioning "Is this for me?" I have 5 more weeks to go and I'll finish my LPN. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad that I stuck it out and didn't quit. It is SO incredibly time consuming, but you'l...

Anyone else not sure if they want to back the 2nd semester?? I worked so hard for 4 months. No life.. just school and studying. My little girl (11 yrs) felt like she never spent time with me. And the stress... unbelievable stress (a lot of which ...

I guess I am starting to question whether I want to be a nurse....with lectures about lawsuits....MRSA....etc. Also, I felt like we were just thrown into clinicals. I felt very unprepared and I'm afraid it will be more of the same next semester. A...

Our very last question on the final was this---- What is the emotion you are feeling as you answer the final question of the semester?- A. Excitement B. Joy C. Thrill D. All of the Above I thought it was cute...made me smile. P. S. I put D.

I'm feeling pretty bummed right now.....we had three tests last week. Two of them I got A's, but the one with the critical thinking....I got a C. I studied for hours...and got a C. That is sooo frustrating...and I'm thinking maybe I don't have what i...

Thank you all so much for the pep talk. I really needed it. Someone mentioned talking with the instructer...but that's a problem too. She's outright cruel...I've never seen anyone behave like that. She's treats us like children.....almost verbally ab...

I love new balance shoes as well...but our nursing program requires a "nursing shoe" from a nursing company. I don't get it...why can't we just get a shoe that we know works. I bought some cherokee shoes...but I'm not crazy about them. Any other s...

I'm starting the LPN program in August and all I keep hearing is that nursing school is extremely hard. It must be doable....cause people do graduate. But, is it as hard as they say? Hearing that scares me to death...and makes me not even want to ...

Thank you all so much for your replies. Your words of encouragement have helped me tremendously. I finally went to register....and I'm going to do this in spite of my fear. I think if I were to back out now..I would always wonder and regret it. T...

Hey gang, Anyone else having second thoughts about going to nursing school? I'm accepted for the fall--and wanted it SO bad. Now I'm doubting my decision. Is this just fear? I'm Sooo confused. Am I the only one feeling this way?... Thanks for li...

Thank you all for your insight and words of encouragment. I told my best friend about this website (she's in the nursing program now) and she asked "Why would you care about what a bunch of strangers say." But, it's amazing how you all make me feel b...

I'll be 45 in June and I received my acceptance letter a few weeks ago....I went from SO excited to pertrified in just a few days. I think it was due to the immunization problem. My records are not complete. So, I had to do the titers. Still waiti...

I was thinking of taking a Math for Meds class this summer. Do you think that would be okay online? Ty

I got my acceptance letter an hour ago and I'm still smiling. It was a regular sized envelope and thin, so I'm thinking "that can't be good". But, when I opened it----it said "Congratulations"! I don't think I've ever cried tears of joy....but I did ...

Thank you so much for your well wishes....I'm still on a wonderful high from "the letter". Yesterday after opening it....my husband left the room for a bit (maybe a half an hour) and when he came back thru...he said "Are you still holding that letter...

The waiting is torturous, pure and simple. I've resigned myself into thinking that I'm not going to get in...maybe that way I won't be as crushed. I did pretty well on the NLN...but the competition is fierce. And they decide also by when your lett...

Hey...I'm new here...and I've been reading your posts for a couple of months now. I just got my NLN entrance exam score in the mail. I feel it's not bad...a 131 composite. But, will it be good enough? I have a couple of months to wait for an accepta...

Do most schools do interviews? In all the material I've received, there was never any mention of an interview. ty
