I graduate this week. You guys have nothing to worry about. Expect changes, but nothing you can't handle. Chamberlain is expensive and a pain, but so are all NP schools. Just jump through the hoops. It goes fast!

I used Back to the Basics, Wingfield's book and FAST (Flightbridge) for the CFRN. Good luck.Roger

Laura Gasparis DVD's!

I just passed the CEN test. I used the Laura Gasparis DVD's and a brief browse of Pearl's Review. Found the test pretty easy overall. Best of luck!

Insert the needle, and get a "full" flash. Slowly advance the needle about the length of the bevel. Then advance the catheter approximately the distance of the bevel. Then advance the entire unit once the bevel has been "hooded" by the catheter. You ...

Took the words right out of my mouth/keyboard!

I start the RN-MSN program this month. I'll let you know how it goes. It is pricey, but so far the customer service has been stellar. I began processing with the local brick and mortar university, and were horrific (acted like they were doing me a fa...

I am in need of a little guidance in my nursing career. I have been an RN for a few years, and have worked in a variety of settings (Med-Surg, Ortho, Rehab, Hospice). I was an LPN first, so I was able to spend some time working in various area as I c...

Thanks msjchuck! Good points to consider!

I am definitely leaning towards ER, as it seems like a custom fit for my background. I don't really want to work with sick/injured kids, but I guess it comes with the territory! Thanks!

I watched my father eat the diet as prescribed by the AHA, and he died at forty-five of a heart attack. I was on the same path. I was eating as the AHA recommends, and my labs were always horrible. Despite exercising vigorously at least an hour per d...

I really enjoyed LTC, but have recently switched to hopsice. So far I love it! I get to go to all the LTC facilities still, but get to leave when the fecal matter strikes the oscillating device!

I'm allergic to the 9th beer...it always makes me vomit...

I have several years experience as an LPN, frequently thrown into the position of leadership. I just graduated with my ADN. I have been offered a RN supervisor job near my home. During the interview I got the distinct impression they weren't conce...

I graduated from LPN school in 10/08. Finished at the top of class, with zero difficulties or challenges. I have heard SO much rhetoric about how much "harder" the RN program is. I start the LPN-RN bridge program in August. I can't wait to challe...

Scheduled tomorrow morning @ 0800hrs. I am taking the unorthodox approach of drinking wine and hanging out with my dogs instead of studying tonight. I'll see what happens tomorrow!

Excellent job!

I am sure you did great. I found that just paying attention in class, following the assigned readings, and researching subjects on my own prepared me well for the nclex. It seemed that most of my questions were prioritization questions, and I also ...

Thank you all, now off to RN.

Well I guess wine makes you smart because I passed! Thank you for all your support and kind words. Now...more wine! :)

Shut off at 85 questions, and went by very quickly.

If memory serves, I believe former TUF member and current UFC fighter Rory Singer was a nursing student at the University of Georgia at Athens. He is also a former teammate/roommate of the current LHW champion Forrest Griffin. Useless trivia I am s...

Your facility is crazy! Before switching to nursing, I worked as a cop for a long time and I have arrested numerous people right out of a hospital bed. All I needed was a sworn statement from the victims (i.e. ER staff) stating they wished to press...
