I was just wondering if x-ray techs get paid more than rn's. If any has some info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ok maybe someone has touched on this before but this is personal for me. Is nursing the type of job where there is cliques? For instance if there is one bossy nurse that everyone follows or sucks up too and if you dont "suck up" to her everyone will...

I am the biggest night owl. During Christmas break Ive been staying up until 3am. Now school is starting in a week and I have to start waking up early for clinicals (6am!) Any other night owls out there? How do you transition to waking up early or th...

Nursing is a great field to get into. You wont have to worry as much about not having job security. As far as nursing school, there is a tremendous amount of studying to do. I have 2 kids and am almost done (in my last semester) so its even a bit tou...

My pinning is on Saturday May 16!!!! I cant believe the time is getting so close!!

NS is different because of the tests. The tests are different than any other tests you have taken in your life. Its about picking the best answer, the answer that takes priority, multiple multiple.

You can do it. If you want this bad enough, nothing will get in your way. Like Randy Pausch said "Brick walls are for people who dont want it bad enough." Do not let him get in your way, it can be done with your families support.

Congrats on your first semester! Good luck to ya!

I always have trouble falling asleep at night. Most of the time I have to take a sleeping pill but then I have to deal with that hangover. So you cant win but only 16 more weeks for me of having to wake up early, then its off to my night owl shift .

Im totally going to be a night nurse too. Good thing there are night owls like us to cover the night shifts.

Best of luck to you. I also will graduate this May!!!!! Congrats to all!!!

I am also in my last semester, and of coarse Im scared! Its the end and I feel like I should be studying over break! Good luck to you.
