Nursing school is a great way to experience different units of the hospital and give you an idea about what type of nursing you want to do in the future. Nursing school is also a great way to make some wonderful lifelong friends. If you have any extra time you should keep a diary of your time in nursing school. It is amazing to look back and see how far you have come from the first day. It will go by faster than you think.

I did some research and found this information from kidshealth.com "The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology estimates that up to 2 million, or 8%, of kids in the United States are affected by food allergies, and that eight foods account for 90% of food allergy reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts." My advice to you is to tread lightly with this person. I have just graduated from nursing school and have first hand knowledge if you question some professors they can make your life HELL!! If you question what he is teaching do reserch to learn the correct facts. Good luck.

I too am a new grad (BSN) looking to go into L&D. I am also a Doula and have 6 years experience as a LPN and 13 years experience as a PCT/CNA. It has been so hard trying to find a job in L&D. The advice that I was given is to really network with others in the field, volunteer with the local birthing centers, become a member of AWHONN, attend the conferences and above all keep trying!! Let me know how it goes. Good luck. Beth

Does anyone know what the starting RN pay is in Tucson, Arizona? I have just graduated with my BSN. I also have 6 years experience as an LPN and 13 years experience as a PCT/CNA. I am meeting with the top nursing supervisor of my company to discuss where I will be working once I pass my NCLEX exam. I know that the topic of pay will come up and I have no idea what to ask for. I have been with this company fo 5 years. Any ideas? Thanks.

I am currently a student at the University of Phoenix. We were told about the RN exit HESI one month before we were scheduled to graduate. We must pass with a 900 or retake it. The classes that are behind us have only one chance. I think this is very wrong!! Three and a half years of school and $ 46,000. down the drain if you fail. I received a 853 on my first try and will need to retake it in two weeks. I am currently studying Saunders and the Hesi review books. Any advice?
