How can you not stay awake? I'm always busy, there's always something to do. There's a med to be passed, hourly rounds per protocol at my hospital.charting, shift assessments, care plans. I don't have dull moments on my night shift. If i did though....

Just got home from the NXCLEX-RN! I failed according to PVT!

I am getting so anxious. I can't decide what school to go to. I am looking into the RN-BSN program and I want to start in Jan. I got approved for the pell grant for some money. But for the most part I will be paying out of pocket. I graduated with my...

I finally decided... I'm going with WGU!! thanks, all! : )

Excelsior was a good choice for me, I did the LPN to RN also. I started my program March 2009 and graduated June 2010. I even took one month off during the summer. I took state boards in July and passed. Have been working as an RN since August. I am ...

I finally decided to go through WGU. Love the people I have talked too, very helpful. I am planning on taking the assessments late tonight. I also thought about the GPA thing. One way to look at it is that even though I would not need it I would repe...

Ok, so I have my RN, ADN and I applied for the Pell Grant and was approved to recieve funds so I can achieve my Bachelor's. The question is why was my husband denied any funds using the same tax return. He hasn't been to college yet and was hopeful t...

Christy78 can you pm me some details also about WGU? thanks, Lisa

Oh, and on another note/personal note. I live in South Florida. My husband and I moved here 3 months ago. WE HATE it. We want to move when our lease is up which is in August. If WGU can completed in 8 months or less like another person projected her ...

No, he hasn't been to college yet; so he has no credits. He hasn't applied for school yet, so he doesn't have a financial counselor to talk to yet. He was not going to go if he didn't get the pell grant. We can't afford two tuitions' so if we both g...

On another note; I too am interested in travel nursing, however you have to be an RN for at least one year first and most really want two years. I looked into this because I plan on moving away from Florida. I wanna try the snow thing. My advice lan...

thanks again. i am so frustrated because i had only 4 weeks of orientation as a new grad... 4 weeks of only 3 days a week. that's not a lot of time. i was thrown out there and told to sink or swim. since switching to the night shift it has been a li...

I have been at my job now for only 2 months. I hate it! I am on an Med-Surg/Oncology floor. The patient load, the no help, their high expectations on time management, the everything is absolutely draining me. It's making me question my abilities, it'...

Thanks you! I'm going to try and stick it out. At this point I couldn't do anything else anyways and i have to pay my bills. thanks for the comfort!

I am on a med-surg floor... i would rather be in OR. med surg is not for everyone.... including me. good luck follow your heart

I have been an LPN for 8 years and an RN for 4 months. I work on a med-surg oncology floor and I hate it. I worked in an outpatient oncology office as an LPN and loved it. Working a hospital can drive someone crazy. I feel so incompetent. I hate to g...

Well that was quick, took my nclex on Thursday and on Monday received my failure notice from the BON. But... I must say it's not really helpful on what I should study. It just says... "near passing standard" so.... now what.... what direction to I go...
