Ok, I was going over this pay package and am confused. The breakdown is: -$17.59 taxable -$35.00 in meals/incidentals untaxed(which would be taxed for myself due to lack of tax home) -$150 per month insurance stipened -company provided housing separa...

I am taking my first travel assignment beginning next week and am having second thoughts and possible regrets about quitting my staff job. I believe i am considered an itinerant traveler because I do not have a "tax home". I have been living with m...

I would like to be a cardiac NP who does a combination of inpatient and outpatient care. Do you think the ACNP or ANP would suit this goal better?

How is the role of an NP at teaching hospitals? I currently work at a teaching hospital as an RN and I do not see many NP's hired due to the abundance of interns and residents. If they were hired I am guessing they would get little respect and get ...

I feel like that every single day. We always have a written test, some other test we have to pass, or a skills test. I hate those skills tests. I swear they will be the end of me!! LOL!! I also feel my school is cliquish so I also worry about fit...

Ok so I need some help on my nursing diagnosis of ineffective tissue perfusion. How do I determine if it is arterial or venous in nature? This directs my interventions. The reason I am doing my diagnosis of ineffective tissue perfusion is because t...

Where are you guys getting your NCLEX questions? I am in first semester now and I would like to do more but I don't have access to them. I have the cd in the book but that only has max 18 ?s. I also have the NCLEX book but nothing we are doing is i...

Hello, im having some trouble getting the radial pulse! I was comped on it today and I failed because I was two off before multiplying by two. For example, I got 32 when the teacher got 30. I think it was do to the fact that we started and stopped ...

I am taking my first nursing test ever next week generally over fundamentals and head 2 toe assesment. Do any of you remember yours? Any specific ?'s you remember? Hard or no? Basically any tips or anything about preparing or the actual test would...

This is great and now I am even more scared to death to start nursing school!!! I thought your story was hilarious-- keep em coming!! Nursing students have to stick together.

CSantos.. are you in an ABSN program? I start my ASN program the 20th. I have a CPR class and orientation though next week. I am actually enjoying my time off before I start HELL! lol. I'm sure it will be interesting but also very tiring, time con...

The only thing I want is to land a good job as a new grad with no prior working hospital experience. That is what I pray for each day. After that I plan to buy a car, just an inexpensive used one that will last me a long time. I then will live frug...

I am not on the Presidents or Deans list because my school only does that for people with 12+ hrs. I would be on the Presidents list tho.

I don't think you are a failure at all. Your grades are good for the course load!! I would have never passed Anatomy with another science course. My advice to you is to simply cut your academic load down. Take one science course (maybe two only i...

Those of you accepted for Spring... does your school require that you buy your books from the bookstore? Or, did they give you a book list? My school wants us to buy them from the bookstore, but I think I'm going to ask for a book list. Im afraid ...

no curve, no extra credit, zilch

I hear ya. I am pulling a high B now. I am terrified of not bringing it to an A.

I must say the cats used for cadaver purposes are not local strays. They are bred to be killed by biotech companies. I would much rather dissect a human cadaver than a cat. It work be more applicable & I know the person wasn't killed for the s...

I don't study Anatomy every day. I study all day Friday, Sat, Sun, and Mon only for Anatomy. It is the only thing that keeps me alive in there. Our tests cover 5+ chapters each time and we never have any warning about what will be on it. We have ...

My community college does that as well. I am in Anatomy and a bit overwhelmed. I agree with you that we are learning a lot of physiology at the same time. And also, as I read some of the posts from people in A&P1 they are learning basically the ...

Hey, I can't remember about when to use the absolute value signs but I kind of remember about rationalizing the denominator. You want to rationalize the denom. so that you no longer have a radical in the denominator. That is the goal. So, say you hav...

I know your pain. Except my first test is next week over five chapters. If you have any other difficult courses along with this one it is a real pain! I can hardly find enough time to study and I don't work!! I have college algebra, anatomy, and t...

I am currently in Human Anatomy. The schools I am applying to generally want Anatomy & Physi seperate. I am finding it so hard to study for Anatomy and get through all the material! I try to cover each chapter before lecture or I am lost. It tak...

I applied to an ASN program that is pretty dang competitive for Spring. My gpa is 3.7-3.8 w/o three of the core sciences (anatomy, physi, micro). They can be taken as coreqs the school I applied. You just had to have one out of the way. I don't th...

Hi! I know this is a dumb question, but I generally wonder about this. I am sending my app off for nursing school tomorrow. Did you guys send your applications off in a manila envelope so you don't bend your papers? Or did you just do a regular env...
