I graduated December 2011 and got my RN license in January......2 interviews at the hospital and no job.....no experience= FRUSTRATION. I even did my clinical rotation at the hospital that claimed they were trying to recruit new grads and they only h...

I am not sure how an LPN can have authority over a RN. I live in Missouri and the State Board of Nursing clearly states that an LPN works under the direct supervision of a RN. I have no trouble asking an LPN for advice, and I value the judgment and e...

I am an RN working in a LTC facility for now.....until I finish my BSN in June and then I plan to work as nurse in Oncology. I work with some awesome LPNs and have learned a lot from them. However, a few seem to think because they have years of expe...

Platypus....I could have written your message lol.....I too was having trouble finding a job as a new grad and Golden Living gave me a job as an RN supervisor. Like you, I was terrified because I just graduated and was green as could be in nursing. A...

This is probably too late of an answer, but I found all white Nike Shocks at Hibbet's sporting goods.

HI! I just got accepted to the RN progam at Three Rivers College in Poplar Bluff, Mo. I am excited, but also nervous. Has anyone gone to TRCC evening program ( or day) if so, would you share your experience and offer me some advice? Thanks!

Congratulations!!! I have 3 more semesters. Hope they go by quickly!

Hi all! I will start my 2nd year of nursing school soon. So far, the first year has been challenging but manageable. We covered Fundamentals and then Ob/Peds. Some students think this is equivelent to LPN school, and it may very well be, I have not b...

Thanks! I just worry because I "hear" that the Med/Sur instructor is much tougher than the other instructors, which I find hard to believe. All of my instructors have been fair but tough. I wouldn't want it any other way though, I don't want to slide...

I use the DA method for almost all of my med math problems. It is the best thing I could have learned in pharm. Thanks for posting this!

I also used this book and it helped, however it was very similiar to the book we used in class. I think having been blessed with my awesome instructor is what helped me the most. That woman really went above and beyond to help us. I will always be gr...

For me it is the time I have to sacrifice with my family. I don't think the course itself is too awful, and our textbooks are pretty easy to understand. I think I am pretty good in science and decent in math and I will be the first to admit that nurs...

thanks for your reply and advice! I am actually doing much better than I anticipated. I graduated from high shool in 1988 so I was pretty scared to go back to school. I am making A' and B's but I know it is because I have great instructors that facil...

I am in the nursing program and I will also be in that class. I have heard he is a good instructor, most people seem to like him well enough. I loved my other instructor, but with my nursing classes I can't take her class this semester for A&P I...

Can anyone explain this to me? I don't know what it is, all I know if that I have 5 attempts to score 80%. What material does it cover? I am just starting nursing school and it is in my syllabus. Also what is the NLN acheivement test? Thanks!

thanks so much for the encouragement! I got my books so I am going to start going over them. Fortunately, my husband is a math whiz so if I get stuck he will help me out. Thanks again!

Thanks! Well, if the nursing math is similiar to the chemistry math I should do fine. I ended up with a 98% in Chemistry and found it odd that I did better than many people who took College Algebra did. I have not taken college algebra yet, just the ...

yes, i see I have a typo in the heading :) Apparently, ours is for a grade, and it must be at lest 80%. I wonder if that is the test that most nursing schools require for dosage calcualtion? Math is not my favorite subject, but I do well enough in i...

I too have been trying to de-clutter and as far as meals, I have a 16 yr old daughter, a 7 yr old son and a husband who can cook for themselves ( well my son can't lol) so that is a big help. I am a life long low carb dieter so my meals are pretty ba...

I am blessed with a husband who supports me both finacially and emotionally so that helps more than I can say. Thanks for sending good thoughts my way....I send them your way too!

I will finally start nursing school on January 20th after 2 semesters of pre- nursing and being accepted as one of the 30 selected from over 300 applicants. I am SO happy that I was selected and I will put 100 % effort into becoming the best nurse I ...

Wow, I am a little envious....your last semester, that's great, congrats to you! I will be so proud when I can say I only have one more semester left. I am nervous, but excited at the same time. I did really well in science classes ( A's in chem and ...

I will be attending TRCC in Poplar Bluff Mo. Not sure what to expect but I am ready to get started.

Chemistry, in my opinion is only as hard as you want to make it. If you are dedicated and study hard you will survive chemistry. Also if you do well in Algebra you will have an easier time. I made an A and I never had chmeistry in high school, and I ...

Chemistry is tough but I enjoyed it and made an A in my class. However, my class started out with 24 students and only 12 of us were left on the day of the final exam. I think only myself and one other student made an A, so Chemistry is tough for mos...
