Here I am. New Grad RN with a licence exactly 1 week old and offered a Peds Med/Surg position at small hospital. (Of course I have spent the last two years in Peds Homecare as an LPN, but it was mainly because it made it easier to go to school) When...

I applied in March 2012 and was offered a spot right away into the May Accelerated opening at two of my choices. Because you can choose more than one location when applying usually there is not a wait. I have only heard people waiting 1 semester if ...

She won't mind... it's not like you asked her to write a Careplan Anyway having an idea of the meds that are common is actually something that is done frequently. I was asked to review some wound dressings for my Preceptorship on an Ortho Trauma fl...

Study with an NCLEX study guide and answer NCLEX questions! I can not stress this enough, even pre-nursing students should be doing NCLEX questions even before starting the core nursing classes. The concepts are what you are being tested on and put...

Sad to say that the increase in recruiting for nursing schools will evolve into an abundance of tuition for colleges and a ton of unpayable student loan debt for new grad nurses.

I worked as an LPN for 2.5 years and recently finished RN and I recommend it! Everyone has their reasons for choosing the path that they do. It's your choice and yes, making a better living is a great benefit.

I started out as brand new grad LPN a few years ago on the 3-11 shift in LTC. 245pm arrived and got assignment- usually I had the same hall every time but it was possible to float. grabbed my census and did a quick walk-through of my rooms for safety...

Congrats!

Buy an NCLEX study guide and start doing questions in it well before you begin your actual classes. That is the only thing that will prepare you for the difference from Pre-reqs to nursing classes in ANY nursing program, whether ADN or BSN. The bigg...

This made me laugh, only because it is so true.

Welcome to Nursing School, where you have to do what they say and just be fine with it. Gone are the days of opting out of immunizations and waivers are nonexistent in nursing programs. They have the right to deny entry or have a specific criteria f...

Depends on how you feel about your current job? Are you fullfilled and happy? Does it pay your bills? Working in acute care is not the be all end all of care. You do not have to work in a hospital or at the bedside, if you do not really want to, to ...

I wouldn't say 100% but I would say 99.99% Although it has worked 100% of the time for myself and for everyone else I know! :-)

Rasmussen.edu I am starting this program in April. It's about 18 months taking 3 courses a term. They accept your Associate's degree and then you take 17 classes from their list at about $300 a credit.

Looks good!

Is this person lazy or just untrained? It sounds like he may not understand what exactly needs to be accomplished? "noted" to him, may be that he read the orders, but then does not know the next step should be? Holes in the MAR... well, where I work...

I agree, sounds more like need a change of location. Birthing center perhaps?

The block actually had the ml/hr next to it... so I just had to put the number in the empty box. I only had one math question, so I am positive about that one. It also told me which place to round to.

They are reviewing your test. The pop-up only works when it says status delivered.

My advise is DO NOT take 6 and 7 to close to your actual test date. The sheer size of those tests, as well as doing QBank questions, is burnout inducing. I felt like my brain was going to shut off, about 3 days before the test, I literally could NOT...

There is a school in Phoenix AZ that has a Peri-operative Nursing program for RNs. It teaches scrub and circulate. It is NOT however part of a hospital and does not come with any pay... However, it teaches everything you need to know and offers clini...

You'll be passing meds and doing skin assessments. Is there a wound care nurse? Other wise you will be doing treatments. Dressing skin tears and pressure ulcers. It is pretty busy and seems daunting, but you will get it. The important thing is to est...

Immunization trends are always a great research project to do while in the beginning of nursing school.
