Ninja Nurse ASN

I get what you're talking about. And like pigginsrn, I too left. This *is* a toxic work environment/culture and it most likely will always be that way at xyz facility. This is when you really have to make a difficult choice.....can you block or coun...

I just found out I start NS in 4 weeks (someone dropped) and need to get all 14 of the required first semester books. My question is, which ones should I rent, if I can and which ones would be keepers? Thanks for any comments :)

That's great! :-)

Kinda long.......sorry. Two words.....Voice Recorder. Seriously saved my behind. A few years ago, I came on AllNurses.com freaking out about my A&P class. Basically I was having the most difficult time cramming all of that info into my head in s...

And 2 years later...... I have to tell anyone that is still subscribed or happens to stumble upon this thread again like I just did that I got through nursing school WITHOUT ANY OF THE REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS. True Story. Buy NCLEX books only. They will ...

So very sorry you're going through this. The only things I can think of are to be truthful, when inquired, but don't stumble over the why's and how's of the situation that resulted in the termination (it's in the past now, remember to K.I.S.S.) and t...

Hi there. Came across your thread and although it has been over a year since this was posted, I am wondering how you are doing and how your situation turned out. You can PM me if you'd like. Hope all is well and you have enjoyed a great year with you...

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4yrs. When we met, I was a heavy drinker and pot smoker. About a year ago, I decided to quit both to be a better person to myself and others. I felt that if I had to alter reality then my reality wasn't good....

Here I am, 5 years later and finally finished my ADN, ready to start BSN next semester. It's been a long trying road and when I look back at some of my old threads, I cringe :uhoh21:. Well, I left that guy shortly after posting this thread. He went i...

This was a "trick" taught to me by a tech back on a Med/Surg unit where we had many Cdiff accidents. Years later, I still use this technique if I'm foreseeing a messy situation with a patient regarding any fluid

Oh, and on the mobile app, I can't "like" or "kudos" and of your replies sorry. I LIKE them all though!

:yelclap:Just sayin

Thanks for the Congrats everyone!!! And if you're still in it......this too shall pass :)

Tell me about it! Only those who have gone through the rigors know. (1st Semester) "How's nursing school?" "Oh my gosh!, I love it!". Every Semester after that whenever I was asked that dreaded question, which was far too often, was met with, "UGH, I...

Woot to you too!

You read my mind!

Never underestimate the power of a warm blanket and a few kind words.

Dang. Can't believe there aren't any responses. I have the same burning question Good Luck!

Hi everyone! Wanted to know your thoughts on getting sick/catching the latest cold (like once a month) since I've been working in the ER about 10 months now. Everyone I work with says "the first year is the worst" and that it'll get better, but its ...

See, now , I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that one day I'll have an immune system of steel. Awesome goal, huh?

I don't think Valencia has that concurrent option anymore. Please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah, coulda swore they discontinued it.

Yeah, I found out today that we'll be using most of them throughout the program. We were also told to be wary of used books simply because they don't contain the cd's and/or codes needed which we will be using. Dang. lol

Thank you so much. Yeah I found out Wednesday and mini orientation was today. I've been running around getting everything ready. It's been hectic. I saw what you're talking about with the remaining open seats thing. Not sure what that's all about...

Wow, I never thought that I may use them over the course of semesters. Thank you! I'll have to ask them. That would be nice though, considering it's $1000 just for first semester books. Or maybe they're expecting me to read all 14 books in 5 months??...

Hi guys :) I just received an invite to start Spring 2011. I was slated for Summer 2011. I've heard of them doing this to a few select but never dreamed it'd be me! I look forward to meeting everyone. Of course, I didn't get to go to orientation. Tha...
