That is a great question...I actually just got a job interview for the observation unit about 10 minutes ago so I could use some information about this, too. My understanding is that it is kind of like a short-term medical-surgical unit/an extension...

Hi everyone- I haven't been on this website since before I went to LPN school, but am a semester away from receiving my BSN now. I have always had the idea of joining the military in the back of my mind, but am only now seriously wanting to pursue i...

Thank you guys for the replies. I will apply after I am off my medications for a year and see where that takes me! In the meantime, I will finish school and gain some experience as an RN. I figured I was at a huge disadvantage, but maybe in a year...

Thanks guys :) I am new to the board, but love it because this is exactly what I need.

I applied to a nursing program this past December (before the deadline) to start in the Fall of '08. They sent me a letter that I was missing things and needed to contact them. I received this letter during winter break so everyone was out of the o...

I usually have a diet Coke on hand (along with every other hour of my day so I'm not sure if that counts) but I don't completely rely on caffeine. I can usually tell off the bat if I'm going to be tired or not for my shift. I just recently started...

I agree. As long as I'm aren't so tired I can't function, it's actually easier if I just stay up and go to class for a couple of hours and then go to bed. :)
