Hi! I'm a new nurse. I've been orienting on a med-surg unit for about a month or so now. I've noticed that when I go to give report, I'm not exactly sure what to report. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that I'm not sure what order to give ...

I have also been on orientation for almost two weeks now. Every day I feel like I'm starting over because there are new patients with new sets of problems and drugs and all that. I have only had 1-2 patients by myself. I feel incredibly slow and feel...

I am in the same position that you are, Brandylove!! We start our summer session in a few weeks...looking forward to that! :-) Good luck and good job!!!

I am in my second semester of nursing school now, and I am feeling like I am not cut out. I'm kind of in a depressed state (AEB I can't stop eating. LOL) The past couple of tests have not gone well, I got in trouble for something I did that they thou...

It really just depends on your program. I just finished my first semester and I bought all of the "required" books ( from different discount places online) and spent about $1000. Come to find out that we didn't really have to have all of those books ...

I've taken it twice (for two different schools) and the results popped up immediately when I finished the test. You should be able to log in ( at least with ATI) and be able to pull them up. Sorry if I am of no help!! :uhoh21:

Hi! I'm in my first semester of the ADN program (actually, finals are next week!! Woohoo!!), and I had all of my pre req's and bonus classes done before I got in. I had to apply twice (as there is no waiting list, just a point system), and got in the...

I have cluster headaches, and yes, they do move around your head. Everyone thinks you're crazy, because you can't really pinpoint it. And they are very painful.

when I get my RN (in 2 years), thats what I want to do in the summers. I think it would be so much fun! I've been going to our church camp since I was a little girl and it would be awesome to go back as the camp nurse!! :-) Have fun!!

Hey There!! It might not be as hard as you think. I worked really hard for several years and just completed all of my prereques this past semester. Last week I got my acceptance letter into the nursing program!!! I definitely wasn't expecting to get ...

I have to take the test by March 31 for the progam I applied to. I just took the NET for another nursing school. Is it similar? The time limits on the NET were ridiculous, I felt. Is the TEAS the same way? I am going to buy a study guide. Thanks! Eme...

I got into nursing school!!!! I am starting in 2 weeks!!! I am so incredibly excited!!!! AAHHH!!! Just had to share my excitement with everyone! Thanks for listening!

This is my last semester of pre-reqs as well! I am taking chemistry, statistics, muisc lit, medical terminology (for fun) and orchestra!

It has taken me like 4 semesters to complete ALL the pre-reqs for the nursing program. But I did all my general ed classes at the same time. I could have done it faster, but I wanted to do well in them.

I did really bad on my first exam too (last year), but each test got a little better. I ended up with a B. In A&P I and II. You can do it! (if I can I know anyone can.):wink2:

I know first hand that deaf people from birth definitely process things differently. I've run into that problem with my boyfriend who is deaf. At first there was a lot of miscommunication, until I realized how he thought. ITs alot easier if you know ...

It may not be worth much, but I have a friend who graduated from a Canadian school and easily landed a job in California right away. So I know it can be done quite easily, actually. Each situation may be different, however. Good luck!

Hi! I am currently a student who is looking to get into nursing school. I probably won't be able to get into it for the fall, but was told that I might be able to get into the surgical tech program. I was just wondering if it would help me at all lat...

of all my sisters (4), I was the only one who "started" at the early age of 9...I was the only one who was ever on soy milk.

lol. THat is exactly what I told my parents while in the ER. At least you get something at the end. sheesh.

I can definitely feel your pain. Last summer I went through my first kidney stone and lithotripsy. I went to the ER because I didn't know what it was. The doc said it was stones when I came in, so they did a CT scan and told me that there was nothin...

I come from a big family and my mom thought about naming my last sister Remember Patience. Our local newspaper lists all the siblings with the birth announcements and she thought it would be funny for that to be the last of 10 names! lol ~Emery

Well said, my friend, well said. lol. :chuckle I have the exact same problem. You just have to prove them wrong. It isn't always easy, but it can be done. I am 20 and even at work now (fast food) people think I'm 13 or 14. It isn't because we look yo...
