I am trying to sort out the info for Excelsior & need a little help. Can I get study material from eBay, yahoo, etc & contact Pearson to schedule test dates prior to enrolling. Basically I am looking to do this for the core classes if possi...

I must say that I am shocked & saddened over the anger & resentment in this post. I am currently 5 weeks pregnant and while I've had 2 miscarriages in the past, I would not have lifted anything I felt uncomfortable with during the 1st, but e...

I've been out 2 years this week & have "DUH" moments daily. I think NS killed some of my brain cells. LOL

In NS I always highlighted notes in my book, then typed them in outline format & read over & over & over the notes I had typed. However, for A&P this did not work for me. Instead, I bought an A&P coloring book & actually col...

Sorry in advance for the long post, but you need to know the events preceeding. Two days ago we had a Code Blue in our area & pt needed epi SQ. Myself & a fellow nurse were the first to respond. Our carts don't stock epi (a whole other issue...

To clear a little bit of confusion, I work in a military facility, not a civilian hospital & the incident did not happen in an in-patient region of the hospital, but in an administrative area. I work in an out-patient region of the hospital &...

There are some really good threads in the student nursing section. Try looking in there for "charting". I just read some great examples yesterday so I know there are recent ones available. Good luck & keep your chin up, it gets easier with tim...

I currently am LPN and have been out for 2 years now. I've just started the process of applying with Excelsior College for the ADN program. It is self-paced so I am guessing about 2 years so that I don't have to miss out on much family life. Plus ...

Check out cafepress.com They have lots of funny designs for the medical field.

I took as many practice tests as I possibly could, studied/reviewed a different body system each week and had my husband quiz me from my class notes that I'd kept since school had started. Our school also provided a free review class that lasted 2 w...

I was in a very similiar situation when I was in school. The problem was with our group is the ones mainly asking for the notes were the ones that would not read the text & wanted to study only off my notes. They wanted to basically get a free ...

For me, it was never a question of what I wanted to be when I grew up...it was about who I always was inside my soul. I'm 7 & 8 years older than my younger brothers & was blessed enough to be "junior mom" to them, kissing bruises & pu...

I too have lots of trouble falling asleep & staying asleep. My Dr. put me on Ambien CR for a little while, & I slept, but I also had conversations with my DH I didn't recall having, was intimate with him with no recall on that either. Decid...

I remember in school learning about a condition where a "troll" type growth is found in a woman's uterus. After removal of this growth, women need to prevent pregnancy for 1 year due to increased risk of cancer. Yesterday in our day surgery area we...

I have Meniere's disease with some hearing loss in the right ear. They do make some stethoscopes that are designed for those of us that are hard of hearing. Thankfully I have not had to get one yet, but having a ventilation tube in the right ear do...

If you are in the Beaufort / Bluffton area, Technical College of the Low Country has a good 2 year RN program (ADN). It is better to go that route if possible instead of wishing you'd put a little more time in than the LPN & then figuring out a ...

I am a contracted nurse for the Navy, taking care of soldiers and their dependents. I absolutely LOVE what I do. Besides the fact I am helping to take care of our nation's bravest members, I just love to help take care of people. There's a picture...

We had one set of scrubs that was for class days & LTC facilities or private practice offices. Then we had our white set for the hospital. Had to be in uniform at all times. Got old really quick.

I have a problem. A RN that I work with is getting out of the Navy in 41 days. (We both work at a military hospital) Since I have been here for the last 5 months, all she does is complain, about EVERYTHING! She is just a miserable person who gi...

1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 75 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? CD full of questions (Mosby's) & yes, had class & our school 3. Did your SON offer any testing (ERI, ATI, HESI)? We too...

Not in the state of Georgia it is not.

I take melantonin every night to help me fall asleep. I am one of those that lays in bed thinking instead of drifting off. I take 1 tab 3 mg 1/2 before bed & it helps soothe me into sleep. Hope this helps! Sweet dreams

I did my LPN at Savannah Tech, but wish I'd done the ADN in Brunswick instead.

I just started NC1 this past weekend & live in Ricon (just north of Savannah). I'd love to get in on a study group.

I've just started this weekend. How about you? I'm on NC1 & purchased Lisa's study notes for NC1 & Ethics on ebay.
