I started nursing school at 36, graduated at 38...and I was one of the YOUNGER members of my class! My eldest classmate was 60, most of us were mid 30s-mid40s, and we had a couple of students in their 20s. Your age will not be a problem! Andrea

NHTI has a GREAT program! I graduated in May from NHCTC in Stratham. There are some other NHCTC grads on this board, too, but I don't know about NHTI. What pre-reqs do you have to do? (I had a BA before I applied, so I had a bunch of credits transf...

I'm a new grad on tele, too, and I looooooooooooooooove it! Yes, you will feel a little lost at first, looking at all those squiggles on the monitor. You WILL get it--and your hospital should be providing you a dysrhythmia class. Ours was 16 hours ...

Ok....new grad perspective here...which means I can totally recall being that nursing student in clinical AND I can also understand now how overstretched one can be as a nurse! That said, there are good nursing students--conscientious, caring, smart,...

Ok to crash this thread? I mean, I'm not an ER RN, lol....I work telemetry/progressive care. I loooooooooooooooooooooove my job! I have had very supportive preceptors, have learned a ton and am looking forward to coming off of orientation next week...

When we were covering the endocrine system in A+P, I happened to have a routine appt with my primary doc. She asked me how school was going,and I shook my head and said, "I don't think I'll ever understand all this endocrine stuff...." She laughed re...

My sciatica is helped most by chiropractic adjustments. When I was still in denial about it being sciatica, I was in pain for a good six months before I would admit I needed to go see him. I had two adjustments each of the first three weeks, then I...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Another new RN!!! :Melody: :Melody: :balloons: :balloons: Andrea

Holy carp, Kelly! I can only imagine how stressed you are right now! Two thoughts come to mind: 1) How much do you want to stay at this hospital? 2) How are other job prospects in your area? My first instinct is, insist that your orientation continue...

Deb, Hang in there....NO ONE feels good when they walk out of taking NCLEX! Continue to think positive!!! You most likely did great! Andrea

Yes, I know...it's almost impossible to relax the day before you test. But please try! I will admit that I did review some labs the day before--but only for about a half hour. Other than that, I put everything away and just kept telling myself I ha...

Yes, I know of at least two of us who are testing tomorrow, June 7th. This morning I dutifully put away my NCLEX books, my med/surg texts, my lab book, my copious notes. I removed the bookmark to the online questions I purchased from my bookmark bar...

Good luck! You will do fine! Remember to take your time, BREATHE, read ALL the answers before you do anything....and let us know how it goes! Andrea
