Pupils equal and reactive to light and accommodation. I just don't know what the accommodation part means... Any help?

I am so excited! I have a phone interview later today for a full time postition on a progressive care unit. Any advice from someone who knows about them/works on one/has worked on one?

Hey everyone!! I just found out last week that I got accepted into Waubonsee Community College's nursing program!! I will be starting in October. Has anyone gone there? Any advice? What did your schedule look like? I am making myself crazy thinking a...

Some friends that I graduated with in July went to a nursing job fair yesterday. No one would even take their resumes once they heard "new graduate"

I worked waiting table while I was pregnant with twins until the doctor told me I had to stop (pre-eclampsia). They both turned out perfect. Your body will tell you when too much is too much. Do you have short term disability insurance? That would co...

Ug. I hate the waiting. I had an interview 2 weeks ago. I got an e-mail last week that said they are still doing interviews and I should hear more by the end of this week. I am hoping that means I'm still in the running and they sent out some e-mail...

My FIL always thinks the progression of his children's births were funny. In 1971 they had their oldest and he was shown to the waiting room. In 1975 they had their second and he was asked if he wanted to come in the room and he declined. In 1979 whe...

I think it is stupid to judge people based on names. I had a very memorable maiden name. Alot of times people thought I was joking when I told them. Even though it could be embarrassing, I had a hard time giving it up when I got married (yes, I know ...

I would take anything I could get my hands on right now. I have applied at outpatient services and home care and they all say "This is not the appropriate avenue for a new grad. Try applying at hospitals and gaining some experience"

I just took (and passed!) my NCLEX last week. I took Kaplan and learned that nursing assistants do standard/unchanging procedures (glucose checks, routine vitals, baths-- don't know about foleys) and LPN/LVNs take care of stable patients with predict...

I have gone back to look at mine. It can be fun

I would probably cut out most of the patho. Fatigue r/t oxygen deficiency secondary to impaired kidney function AEB Hgb 9.5 and RBC 2.96 and GFR 20.

I would say chicken. I think PB would be too thick

I had my pinning yesterday!! My first splurge is a big old graduation party!! Now to get a job.... then I can pay bills

Oooooo.... pretty!

I will also add that while they were telling us these things (the graduating class officers came to speak to us) I was thinking something along the lines of "What a bunch of drama queens! Can't handle a little school.... Wimps!!" I had no idea!!!! P...

I honestly don't think anything could have prepared me for nursing school. They said alot of these things to us at orientation, but there is no way to know what you are in for. PS- I am done in 4 days!!!!!!!! I cannot believe it!!

I'm not bored... I started my last class yesterday!!! I will be all done in 48 days!!!

Ug. We have careplans week to week and for the last 2 classes a mega care plan as well, worth a test grade. Not fun. Especially when we are inthe middle of trying to study for critical care tests

I am bored... but I should be studying for my endocrine test tomorrow. I don't have much time off between this class and my summer class. I take my test tomorrow and then we are off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and jump into our very last class on M...

I usually look like I rolled outta bed. Mostly because I did. Heehee. On test days I wear my "lucky test shirt" So far it has brought me great luck!!!

Our class is similar. We are down to 18 people and we are close. I am glad not to be in a competitive class. We all support each other and celebrate good grades together and cry over bad grades together.

We get our grades online and for most classes we see our grade and "class statistics" which includes highest grade, lowest grade, and distribution of how many grades between 60-70, 70-80, 80-90, and 90-100

I would go with anxiety

I have had two c-secs. My oldest (2004) I was in bed probably close to 24 hours. I had no medical training then. They asked me if I was ready to get up, I said "No" they didn't press the issue. Terrible recovery! When I had my twins (2008) I was in a...
