16 hr shift... and I finished letting those physicians behind me think they came up with the orders they signed. Silly boys.

"I don't want to talk to any of those doctors. None of them have any idea what is going on. You nurses are the only ones who have shown they give a **** and actually know what's going on around here." Of course I blushed, chuckled, try to give her so...

I started out in MICU. I too was so excited but scared. I struggled for a bit. I would go home and think "today was a good day" or "what was I thinking". I have been there almost 2 years. I was on maternity leave for 4 months of that. It worked out. ...

In Fort Wayne, IN here we have a place called James Medical. Its a uniform place. I would recommend that over the school bookstore. You will have more options. Online is a great place to shop. You can compare prices and get reviews from people who h...

DEFINITELY stay with the BSN. Do not drop it for a LPN. It might cost you more, but it WILL make you more money in the long run. You will kick yourself if you drop out of the BSN for the LPN. I am not sure where you are that a LPN makes more then a B...

I would say notecards are the BEST memorization. It's what got me my A I needed to get into the nursing program. I spent hours and hours a week on that class. I would prepare yourself. I have to say though. Now that I am in the nursing program I wish...
