:smokin:Hello all haven't posted in quite awhile. I have been a nurse for almost two years. I have been in ICU since graduating nursing school. I actually have been in a surgical heart ICU for 1 1/2 years. I know ICU is not far from ER nursing, but I...

Well, I have had a chance to breath a little. I am feeling alot more confident, and am going to kick butt this last 8 weeks. I have done some serious soul searching,and have realized I am in control of this. I thank everyone who responded. Especially...

Hello all, I am a 2nd semester ADN student. I am doing terrible. I am literally failing every class but Micro. I have a D in there also. I have taken 2 test in each class: Pharm, Patho, and Essentials of Nursing. I am totally lost as to what is going...

Hello I am a 2nd semester nursing student in Chicago,and I just got the book last Monday. Two days is all it took. Brand new and for only $12.00 + 2.99 for express shipping. Not knocking Amazon or Borders or Barnes & Noble, but Half. com has just...

Thanks trauma r us. I am 30 years young,and got a heck of a wake up call. Thanks for the support,and the very encouraging words. I will head them.

Well I attend a 2year ADN program,and a teacher who is also the head of the LPN program at my school discourages us working. The people who work along with myself are finding school very challenging. Now in the 1st semester you may be able to get awa...

Well all I can say is great things about the place. I have been going to Rush since I was 12. I was diagnosed with osteo sarcoma,and went through chemo, and all there. Such caring and compassionate people. I am currently an above knee amputee,and a 1...

Well we took our first nursing test on Tuesday. I saw my grade today,and it was a 74. We need 78 to pass an exam. I am so distraught what do I do? I was complaining about being bored and wanting to get too the meat of nursing. Now look at me failing ...

Thanks again all. I have taken everyone's advice, and I do believe I will do better. I am actually studying right now,but needed to take a break. So I once again thank everyone who responded.

Thanks all for the advice. I am taking all of the replies to heart. It is good to see others who have been through the same thing. I have really improved since failing the test. Well Bean I did fail the 105 test. I hope it gets better. I talked to a...

I am extremely happy the bill was not passed. All I could think of was about the patients. What kind of care would they receive from nurses who were being treated worst than how they are now. Less money, more work. I don't know about anyone else,but ...

Well I better jump on board,far south burbs. Born in Chicago and I love the CUBS!!!!

Yeah Bean, I feel you on that Nur 106 class. We are writting alot of journals also. My 106 teacher is also my clinical teacher. She is a little weird,but she seems to have alot of knowledge. Just grin and bear it. I have an A&P 2 test on Tuesday....

Okay Bean, we are classmates in the same program,and I feel you. I have the same issues as you. I am literally forcing myself to read. I have found one good resource: Other nursing students in the program. It is a little awkward for me being one of 4...

Hello my fellow nursing students of the struggle. I have now completed my 2nd week of nursing school. Things are going real slow,and feel I might be getting cheated.. We have gone over the Nursing process, who Jean Watson and Marjory Gordon is, etc, ...

I agree with all of you. I just expected to be over my head in work from the beginning. I will survive it because I want this so bad. I am willing to take the time to learn the fundamentals. I am just happy to be in a nursing program. I thank God for...

Well I have read the posts,and I am going to take it in stride. I guess my experience as an EMT has me hyper. I hope it picks up, but I don't want to have to eat my words. I guess I will bite my tongue and wait this thing out. I will say that the t...
