student loans my help with the financial end of things, just don't forget you gotta pay them back, with interest. a couple of people in my class applied for extra money in the loan for living expenses. good luck to you.

first I would like to say I certainly hope you are feeling better. Second, know when to cut your losses and move on. I have been in a he said she said situation during my clinical rotation no less, and it totally stinks! Im not a nurse yet... my boar...

most of this dissatisfaction within this thread seems to be about the money, not the satisfaction of just being a nurse. I make due on the LPN salary soley for the reason thats it about the patients and not the money. I am not out to be friends or en...

still in school but can answer the questions if you still would like me too

I couldn't use the dosage on hand formula, for whatever reason it confused me. And to watch someone use it, it looks so simple. I end up using stoiciometry, fancy word for algebra. I ended up with a tutor who already was a math wiz in our class. I wi...

my days are m-f from 1:30 pm-9:00 or 10:00 pm. Im in med surg II. we have a pre conference and post conference and we have a working supper, thats when we try to get all our paperwork done. we do rotations thru ER and ICU. its a killer.

i love www.dosagehelp.com it has helped me out alot, and i still use it to brush up on math! it has questions and how to sovle them all explained in detail for you.

for me alot is common sense, but I have to agree with the others about using an nclex review book. I have saunders, mosby's and davis (the last 2 are my favorite, but I found mosby's the hardest. best of luck, and try not to worry too much, you'll ma...

I am on my last rotation for clinicals for LPN, Got through all the hard acedemics and tests and such. I was assigned to the ER for 2 weeks, we have a quick care area for the PA to handle if the situation is not a true emergency, (headaches, stitches...

You've got to be kidding me, its housekeepings job? Ha, I would have had a field day with that instuctor. I have just worked my way up from housekeeping to nurse, and if there is water around the sink it can drip on the floor and if it gets on the fl...

delayed cap refill is suggestive of poor periphiral blood circulation

What makes you feel the school is unorganized? What classes are you taking this semester? This info would be more helpful for me to answer your questions. Dont quit or give up. Maybe your classes are basic fundamental issues right now, most of that i...

I am in Tampa and can relate. Try Rasmussen in Ocala, Im not sure how far that is for you but they have a nursing program

Is this right for me to know most of this info? Im still a pn student and this sounds more like rn info. correct me if i am wrong please.

I honestly cannot believe all of you whining people. You are all there for one specific purpose, to become a nurse. There are many idiosyncrasies you people have too (none of us are perfect), and just because one person has the enthusiasum and drive ...

too funny, i have said that to a couple kids but they think they are too cool or something. maybe a little witchcraft will shut them up.......

best thing i can tell you is go head to toe, take everything in from the head LOC, PERRLA etc, hair, skin and so forth and just work your way down. that is how i do it and it works for me. but i do forget things when i am in a hurry. so don't get dis...

i am at the last round of finals, thank the good lord for that, so now i wont have to deal with the cell phones anymore (i leave mine in my car till school is out for the day), now its clinicals for 3 months and graduation!! I am so excited.

Holy cow, im glad im not the only one. Man I just passed math last semester with an 84. My lowest grade ever. so don't feel bad, i had to get a tutor just to get that grade. Keep your chin up, it does get easier.

our school is very loose on the rules and the younger (I am 44) students find it okay to walk out and take calls about their kids and jobs and such. Even though we were warned about having a back up plan for any emergency. Noone listens it drives us ...

All I can say is I ask questions alot. they are related to the topic and a few people (there are only 15 in the class) tell me they are glad I had asked specific questions, because they hadn't thought about that disease, syndrome or whatever in that ...

You may be right, but to ask such an insulting question to people who are older is hurtful, not polite. i believe you will be successful in what you do, my apologies for being cynical towards you, keep going you will be ok.

I really can't believe you have the cahones to say something so hurtful, spiteful, and as I can tell full of jealousy. You are so worried about not getting that position cuz some older person came in that has the knowledge and wisdom you do not? Sham...
