  1. last 2 week advice

    anurseatlast replied to forsty's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Probably answering questions is most helpful as well as reviewing normal lab values, etc. Definitely stop studying 1-2 days before the test. Being rested and somewhat relaxed will be more beneficial...

  2. Starting Clinicals, Hepatitis B Vaccine question

    anurseatlast replied to nursegc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Most nursing schools will require you to get the vaccine before you can do clinicals. When you are trying to decide, you have to weigh benefits vs risks. You are choosing to go into a profession...

  3. How does a Straight B student Survive an Accelerated Nursing School World?

    anurseatlast replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    I do not think the curriculum is designed to be difficult; it is designed to prepare you for NCLEX and for real life nursing. It is true that it is difficult for many students. Mostly this is because...

  4. Primary household earner?

    anurseatlast replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I am single and have no other financial support. If I lost my job, it would be a big problem. I carry the health insurance for me and my daughter who is a grad student. Oct 1011 I will no longer carry...

  5. My day as a patient

    anurseatlast replied to RkfdNurse1's topic in General Nursing

  6. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    anurseatlast replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on what you were used to making before - I had so little money that nurses' pay, even with student loan payments, was a vast improvement. Also, many start out working nights (I...

  8. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    anurseatlast replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    Pass rate is very high and, if you plan to stay in Omaha, Methodist is well thought of in the community which should help with finding a job. Some get job offers from whereever they do their...

  9. Anyone going for IBCLC?

    anurseatlast replied to MamaRose's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    anurseatlast replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    The program is tough but doable. Remember others have done it before you. My advice is to do what you can to simplify your life before hand - exactly what that means depends on your life...

  11. Feeling awkward at clinicals

    anurseatlast replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Odds are your classmates feel the same way. They are looking at you and saying, "Why am I stressed when s/he is handling it so well?" This is something new so it will be stressful. Even with your...

  12. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    anurseatlast replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think many MA and CNA see little difference between what they do and what a nurse does. They do not understand that doing proceducres, etc is a very small part of being a nurse. Much of the...

  13. Why do doctors office pay nurses pennies to work for them?

    anurseatlast replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

    I think that doctors DO need the skills of a nurse in the office. Sure a MA or CNA can do tasks but they cannot assess patients. Some doctors recognize the difference and want a nurse who can use...

    anurseatlast replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only way to make it through is to lower your standards for a "clean house" - otherwise, you will go crazy. Think of how you can simplify what has to be done - buy paper plates, use frozen...

  17. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    anurseatlast replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    After having another student attempt to cheat off of me during our first test (which I thought was pretty dumb - how did she know if I knew anything at that point??), I decided to arrive early for...

  18. Public Health Educator,but I'm so afraid of public speaking ?Need advice.

    anurseatlast replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    The age of Toastmasters members varies widely. Even if the members are mostly older, they may enjoy having someone younger in their group - don't let age stop you. Although the focus is the same, each...

  19. Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

    anurseatlast replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    I think it is important to know how YOU learn best. Some people find reading to be very helpful but others find they do not retain much information with reading. I was in an accelerated program and...

    anurseatlast replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    anurseatlast replied to Becca07's topic in General Students

    The great thing about writing on a computer is that you DON"T have to start at the beginning. It is much easier to just write the parts you already have in your head. Then you can move them around,...

    anurseatlast replied to ctyler98's topic in General Nursing
