HI everyone, I will be taking A&P starting January and was wondering if anyone has used this book for a general overview. If so, have you found it helpful? Thanks !!

I just applied last week for the same thing. This is the email I received from NYS with instructions. What you are requesting is a certification. This is a document other states, certifying agencies or jurisdictions may require to confirm a New York...

I just accepted an RN position working for the Office of Mental Health in NY State. One of the things that isn't sitting well with me is the thought of mandatory OT. I asked many questions in regards to how often it happens, RN turn over...etc...and ...

What stethoscope did you buy and where did you get it?

I am a new grad and starting my orientation in the MICU at the end of the month. I am curious as to how many critical care nurses out there use a PDA while working and if so, how beneficial is it to your practice. Thanks.

What programs do have loaded?

Thanks for offering your help, but I have been talking with corvette guy and he has really provided me with some good information and direction. My AHCR has also advised me that I will have no problems.

What would be considered as a disqualifier for receiveing a direct commission in the Army Nurse Corp?

time to deal with some of the women I work with. I am in my final weeks of my nursing program and will be starting my new position as a graduate nurse in late May. I am just looking for some pointers from you guys on dealing with the sarcasm and aggr...

Thanks for the responses from all. One thing that I didn't say in my original post is the fact that I am an assertive individual most of the time, but when it is time for me to be more direct with women when they say something insulting, or what I pe...

Very well said, and I thank you and others like llg and tweety for understanding exactly what I am saying and trying to get across.

I am by no means attempting to bash women, but with some of the replies it appears that I offended some of the women (traumaprincess). Again, I apoligize for this. If you read my post carefully, I stated that this problem isn't with all women and I h...

What is your take on being a psych nurse right out of a two year program? I've had some tell me go for it and others say get some med-surg experience first. What do you think?

Hey guys, I will be finishing up my ADN program next semester and still have no idea where I want to work. How about the rest of you; have you any ideas of what field you plan on going into? During my clinicals, I really haven't seen an overwhelming ...

We started with 30 total students; ten of them being men. Going into the last semester, we have 5 men left and a total of 14 original class members.

I have a prior degree in IT and this is a career change for me. I understand that the nursing field is dominated by females and I will be amongst them in the spring as a new grad nurse. I am presently working on a psych unit as a tech and have alread...

[quote= There are a few perks we get for being male: 1. Female pts almost never let us insert or perform catheter care. 2. I get my choice of lockers in the locker room. 3. Men's room is usally open so no running to the next hall like the ...

Which NCLEX book are you using to prepare for the exam?

Hey there all, I failed my Nursing test this week by a few points. We have to get an 80 for it to be considered passing and I got a 76. Is it common to fail a test here and there and still think you are cut out for this stuff? I still have an 89 aver...

Thanks for the responses!!

Thanks alot for the great explanations and sites...... :)

Hi everyone, I am having a hard time understanding the Fluid and Electrolyte balance. Does anyone know why a particular IV is given to someone...ie, why a hypertonic solution is used instead of a hypotonic solution....etc... I really want to understa...

make big problems over something small. I am a 2nd semester RN student and I am working on a Psych unit as an aid. I hear many of the female RN's arguing at times and snapping over little things. It seems that they are on such a power trip with the i...

I wouldn't hurt anyone........I was just being sarcastic.....
