Yellow Rose RN

Congrats Tweety on your venture with RN-BSN! I am finishing up my last prerequisite (statistics) this spring semester before starting the RN-BSN program at Texas Tech. Good luck to you and I look forward to hearing from you and how your experience ...

You might want to get the book titled NCLEX-RN 250 New-Format Questions. It is by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. The ISBN # is1-58255-307-6. I bought mine at Barnes and Nobles and it was about 15.00. It is a great book and has 250 of the new ...

My next door neighbor had a baby with Trisomy 10 and was on feedings. Hospice took off of their service when he was placed on these feedings. He was unable to take anything orally and was dying. Ended up, when the parents removed the feedings (for...

Hey, I wanted to say that I took the NCLEX this week too. Mine shut off at 75 also. I have been a nervous wreck as well. I really feel like I failed (as do so many ). I graduated about a year ago, but took some time off in between then and tak...

She can also request a meeting with the financial aid director to inform them of her financial situation right now. If she qualifies now... then sometimes they can work around only using last years tax info. Just tell her to be vigilent and keep tr...

Way to go! You will be a great nurse!

When I was in school, on clinical days, I would have a whole wheat waffle (frozen) pop it in the toaster and when it is done, spread peanut butter on it. It is delicious and lots of protein and some carbs... very portable. Always bring a quick snac...

Many Good thoughts to you. I am glad that you talked to your DON and got that particular stressor situatied for the time being. Good luck to you and your son. I have been in a similar situation with my ex (overspending and other addictions). We h...

I am a fairly new graduate that went back to school to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse after my ex-husband left. I was in a position to go to school full-time and took advantage of that! Before I returned back to school, I was a branch manager...

Happy Birthday!

Michelle, I just wanted to let you know that I have been in your same position. It is so hard when you have a child that is so unstable. Have you thought about inpatient care to get him stabilized? I am sure that you have because most of us with a...

No, if you will read my post again, you will see that I stated that there is NO blood testing available to determine bipolar disorder as some other illnesses may have. This is hard as a parent, because there is no cut and dry testing. Many parents ...

This may be true, that some docs are quick to "label" some kids. But also realize that there are many children who truly have true mental/psychiatric disorders and are just "labeled" severe ADD. If the children who are truly Bipolar are not diagno...

Like some have already said, Nursing exams are not the everyday, common exams that you might have taken before getting into your program. You MUST understand the material. It is not possible to just memorize the material and be able to apply the ma...

It is possibly..... Pill rolling? It is a symptom of tardive dyskinesia. It seems as if a person is "rolling" a small peice of something in between their fingers
