Hi guys! I will be starting nursing school this fall, but I'm always thinking ahead ! I have an interest in possibly pursuing the NP role someday. My question is this; when I'm done with nursing school I'll have my ADN in nursing. After I get my lis...

Hi there everyone. I am in the process of applying to nursing schools. I will be in Fla. on the 26th of this month to visit the Florida hsp. health college nursing (asn) program. Has anyone here gone to school there or is currently going there? I wou...

Hi fellow Ohioans! Actually, I've lived in Chicago now for 3 years, but I hate it and miss home so I'm moving back this summer. Anyway, my question is has anyone heard of the above mentioned school? Has anyone been? If so has it prepared you for real...

Hi everyone. I have a heavy issue thats been weighing on my mind lately. See, I am getting ready to start my nursing prereq's in the fall and CNA school (a and p and a basic math course refresher.) I hope to enter nursing school in 2005, but want to ...

This is gonna be a long one so forgive me for my ranting. Anyway, I haven't posted on here in ages, I guess I've just been plain disgusted with the whole nursing field. Where do I start? I've been an RN now for a year and a half, but have not worked ...

Hi. As some of you may know, from some of my previous posts, I have major math anxiety and a very weak background in math. I am entering nursing school this fall, and so this semester, along with my A and P pre-req's, I've decided to tackle a college...

Hello everyone. I am in desperate need of advice. In fact I am so in need I have fumbled around with the idea of leaving the nursing field all together because I am so disappointed in it!! It is not what I thought it was going to be. Here is my story...

Hi everyone, I will be graduating nursing school in 2006, and right now am just kinda feeling my way around, and trying to get as much information from experienced nurses in my different fields of interest. I definately have an interest in this fiel...

Thank you all so much for your replies. It really does help to hear the different perspectives on this. Aimee, I do agree with what you are saying about the calm before the storm. The patients I have ARE really stable so it just feels like I'm doing ...

Hello everyone.I am a soon to be RN grad this July and have a HUGE interest in travel nursing. I am single, no kids, and love to see new things (get bored easily!) I'm getting ready to accept my first RN job at a large Children's hospital in my homet...

Hello fellow nurses! I am a soon to be graduate RN July 14th. The last few weeks I've been feeling what many may call cold feet, fear, exhaustion,spring fever, whatever. The point is, all of a sudden I'm questioning so much. I did not expect this to ...

Well, one of the schools that Iv'e applied to for nursing accepted me!!! I got my acceptence letter in the mail yesterday and jumped up and down around my apartment (I think I really freaked my pug out!) I was just thrilled, seeing that the accepten...

Hi everyone. Okay, so, I graduate in 5 months but I'm a little confused right now. I just finished my psych rotation and absolutely loved it (I knew I would.) My instructor told me I "exceeded the mental health rotation expectations," and that I ada...

Again, thanks everyone for your replies. Its been kind of an upsetting week as far as this decision goes. It seems like everyone and anyone in nursing that I tell I want to possibly go into psych, I get a negative comment. Have you all noticed that s...

Thanks for your responses! I just went back into my med-surg rotation for the first time in over 10 weeks, and I have to say, psych is REALLY looking tempting! I am just not a fan of adult med-surg nursing. More power to those who love it though, the...

Hi. I've tried multiple anti-depressants, and so far in my opinion, lexapro has been the best for my anxiety=depression. It does make me VERY tired, so my doc switched me from taking it in the morning to taking it at night instead. It also has caused...

Hi everyone, I am in desperate need of some words of wisdom. I finished my first year of nursing school, passed the HESI with flying colors, but now I am taking the hardest class I've ever taken in my life, physiological chemistry!! I have it 2 x's ...

Thanks everyone for the replies! Personally, I can't believe I have to take this after having highschool chem 10 years ago, but life is not always fair it seems. I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up and realize the next 5 weeks I will be eati...

Hi everybody, Haven't written in a long while ( I AM in nursing school !) Anyway, when I started my program last year I had the option to sign this tuition benefit agreement where, basically the school pays for all your nursing classes in return fo...

Wow, you guys are taking a lot! I guess I don't feel so alone now. I'm taking: Microbiology, physiological chem, and A and P III! I get a 2 week break before starting up nursing again in the fall.

Hi there! I've been doing some research lately on holistic nursing (healing touch, and massage therepy) and I am very interested in possibly getting certified in this once I'm done with nursing school. I don't start nursing school till fall, but I ho...

Hi everyone, Haven't posted in awhile, but, my first quarter in nursing school is over and now I just started back into nursing 2. Everyone told us how much harder this quarter would be, but this is ridiculous. I think I've cried almost everyday sin...

Thanks everyone. :) I actually sent the teacher an email last night. He was pretty reassuring in his response. I think my class is going to get some kind of study group together for this. I know I can do it, I'm just going to have to sweat bullets to...

Hi guys. Well, as some of you know, I will be starting nursing school in fall, but for now I am taking pre-req's and am in CNA school every weekend. I love it, and will graduate as a CNA in May. Anyway, I have a question/concern. My class has been d...
