Depending on where you work, hospital pay averages about $21 base, plus shift differentials. There are hospitals that start at a little more & a little less, but $21 is about mid-ground. COngrats on finishing your BSN!

Yes it is entirely possible to fail MedSurg & still graduate. I failed MedSurg 2 by about 2 pts. No matter how hard I tried, it seemd the harder I tried the worse my test scores got. However, I took the time to meet with my instructors, go over t...

I have lost weight since starting work as an RN, about 7 pounds so far but I am also trying. As others have said pack your lunch, I do, I don't even take my bank card or $$$ in with me I drink hot tea in the AM when I get to work & after that 1 c...

I don't know about anyone else, but I just graduated form the program May 6, 2011. I did fail one class but re-took it & passed without a problem. Good luck with finding a program it;s hard work but worth it in the end.

I'm going into my last semester so I will give you my thoughts on this. My first suggestion is to write out your nsg dx, depending on what its r/t & aeb will help to guide you towards your interventions. Decreased CO can be r/t so many things. So...

Definitely take some time to rest & relax, then catch up on whatever housework has fallen behind. I take my last finl this afternoon for adult health 2 & then I'm done till January but I know I have 14 chapters to cover over break for one cla...

I am working on getting this posted so please bear with me, I'm having some technical difficulties.

Nsg Diagnosis: Acute pain r/t CABG incision & tunneling of surgical incision aeb pt stating “I need a pain pill I hurt here” while drawing a line with her finger over her incision, pt. stating “pain is 8 out of 10”, pt states “I have a really b...

Ok, I will try not to be too long winded here & just give the needed info. Written careplans have been a challenge for me in the past, so this semester I really want to "nail" them. This was my first week of clinicals this semester & we have ...

I met with one of my instructors last week to try & figure out where I'm going wrong with my tests. Well I thought I had it figured out, studied hard for my test I had today & did worse on it than any other test this semester. If I didn't get...

Well it's official as it gets until grades come out. It's not possible for me to pass this class even if I get a 100 on the final. No matter how I figure it there is no way to pass this class, just freaking great. what a wonderful way to end the seme...

From everything I could tell looing over my tests I wasn't paying 110% attention to the questions/answers. So I took extra time & red all the questions 2 or 3 times, underlined what was specifically being asked for & did the same with the ans...

I just don't get it. The harder I try the worse I do & this was supposed to be the easy test. Now I have to basically reapply to take the class. If I fail anything else before I graduate then I'm out of the program with no hope of going anywhere ...

I would love the help. I took a class before this semester on cardiac rhythms but I still don't have them down. With the end of the semester basically here it would definitely help to have the summer to go back over stuff. Plus I fully believe that t...

How about adding the Glasgow Coma Scale to it if you want it to be used in later semesters.

This was something I had to figure out to. Our uniforms are all white (evil in my mind) & I tend to be really heavy for about 3 days of my period. I wear a pair of leggings under my scrub pants for 2 reasons, white is see through it no matter ho...

I will make this short since longer posts aren't posting. It doesn't look like i'm going to pass my Adult Health 2 class. I just dont get where I'm going wrong i stidy my butt off & yet I've only passed 1 test. If I can get my longer post to take...

i wanted to say coffeematecna that i have emailed one of the instructors about setting up a meeting to figure out where i am going wrong. like you said even if it can't help me this semester to pass it will help me next semester so i am waiting to he...

Actually for the last test I went through around 200 NCLEX questions from my Saunders book & actually felt really good about the test but I wound up getting a 73 on it. I feel like I'm taking advantage of every little thing I can put my hands on...

I am working on getting up the nerve to speak with one of my instructors. It's been a trying semester & I am turly not comfortable speaking with my instructors. I feel like the first part of the semester I spent getting a bulls eye off my back &a...

The previous 2 posts are the original post that wouldn't go thru, it would only work in 2 parts. That's a more in depth idea of what I'm looking at.

I have had alot going on this semester outside of school with family & I know that didn't help things at all. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with studying! I spend hours going over the notes that are posted, reading the chapter, & taking n...

A little background I guess is in order I am in my first senior semester. I have 2 tests left counting the ATI final for Adult Health II. I am really struggling with this class. I did fairly good on the first test, the second test I admit I bombed I ...

I have an ethics paper to write on the ethical dilemma r/t organ transplants in pts with a hx of alcohol/drug abuse. I have searched through the databases available to me thru school but I havent had any luck finding anything other than absolute cont...
