I am in my last semester of school and was wondering what you love most about the area of nursing you work in? If you can't stand where are you working then where do you want to work? Thanks! Laura

Wow, I can't believe that when I joined this forum I had just decided to go back to school, and now, here I am 3 months away from graduating! So, just wondering...How long did you wait to take NCLEX after graduating and how long did it take you to fi...

So you guys are saying don't wait? lol I want to get a job ASAP but I also REALLY want to take my kids to Disneyland before I end up with a new job and not able to take time off! We'll see... Maybe I'll just take my son out of school in May and go th...

Wow, I'm so glad so many of you love your jobs! Some of those areas you work in aren't even available anywhere near where I live now! I just finished precepting on the surgical floor, and I really liked the work and the relationships the nurses have ...

What kind of setting do you guys work in, in psych?

I don't like the whole doing stuff in front of a bunch of other people either. . . but I made it this far, and I've made it through semester 1! I am fine one on one with a client. I like to know that I know what I'm doing, and that helps me to feel m...

Yep I start Monday afternoon!

I wish I had my books already cuz I want to start reading know when I have time! I am soooo scared I won't be able to find enough time to study without having any "break" time between work and kids and class!

I took out an actual loan for the first time for this Fall too. I qualified without a problem, some subsidized, some not. . I only accepted the subsidized part though. I did everything I needed to do like you did, counseling, MPN, ect. The only think...

I start the first semester in 2 weeks too!! I'm soo excited and so scared!

I fainted in my anatomy lab last semester while the teacher was pointing out muscles on a cadaver leg. Mentally I was absolutely fine, there was nothing about the cadaver that bothered me! I can only assume the smell of the chemicals got into my head...

I'm writng an argumentative research paper and this question came to mind in the midst of it... In the case of a fetal demise, at any gestation, is the placenta and cord taken to have a thorough examination done? or does the doctor give in a once ove...

Do thorough placental pathology exams come at a cost to the parents?

That's good to hear the majority do them, from what I've read the autopsy rate has been declining.

Do you happen to know the names of those children's books?

There was a birth announcement in the paper last weekend with a baby named Benjamin NFL.

Awesome, thanks.

Yeah I was wondering about that...I knew miscarriages were spontaneous abortions...but medically isn't an abortion different than a spontaneous abortion? Your body naturally having an abortion versus an induced abortion..hmm. But than what about stil...

Do you/Where do you count miscarriages and stillbirths in these systems?

What is a "PROMed chorio" patient?

I can't answer these questions as a nurse, of course, but I was just recently given Cytotec for my IUFD. First, I was not asked to sign a consent form for this, had I known anything about it I might have refused and asked for a different method of in...

i took the iv flow rate quiz on this site after reading this site http://home.hiwaay.net/~theholt1/nurs1100/iv-calc.htm and i only missed one! and on that one i missed i was calculating mins instead of hours i think so yeah.. but i am not even in nu...

Hmm..with my first "real" paycheck I will...pay off some of my credit card debt, start a savings account for my son - always wanted to but never had money to put in it!, go out to a nice dinner, spoil my son with whatever he wants, and buy something ...

So does that mean a new grad would have to pass the NCLEX Before applying and getting interviewed/accepted to the position? I am hardly a new grad yet but I know that there is a class of graduates about to graduate soon and there are only a couple h...

I wouldn't personally apply without my license either, even for a graduate nurse position. Mainly because if for some reason I failed the NCLEX I would be terribly embaressed and not able to work again til I passed it. But like I said, I am hardly a ...
