I'm doing Walden University for RN - BSN. It is affordable and all online. Works with our type of schedule.

You should get some experience and take pre reqs for what you need for BSN, can also go part-time. I'm going to school to complete my RN - BSN online. It is so much easier with our type of work schedule. With experience, you will be more ahead of you...

I'm a new grad nurse and recently have started my first RN job. I have been working on my assertiveness both personally and professionally. Anyone have advice on how to become more assertive?

Before I started nursing school, I was married to a nurse who was a LPN at the time. We split up after he started going back to school for his RN. It was nice having a conversation about work or school, but he thought that he KNEW everything and trie...

Depending on your school's grading scale, like mine you have to have a 75 or above to pass the course. So just because you get a C - it doesnt mean you are not good at nursing. But if you are having trouble with your exams, go to an instructor for he...

I have been through Med Surg I and am taking Med Surg II now. It is alot of material to handle. Go to an instructor or if you have an advisor and ask for help! They are there for your benefit. Don't give up.

I believe all nurses are made through knowledge and experience, but people are born with the personality to care, love, and nurture. Those are many of the qualities a nurse carries and it takes someone special to become a nurse. A nurse is someone wh...

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments and support. It means alot to me that I can help other fellow nurses/nursing students. :redpinkhe Thanks again, remember nothing easy is worth attaining!

I loved your story! Thanks for some inspiration and motivation!

Hi there, I am in an ADN RN program, right now in the 2nd semester of my first year. I also work as a medical assistant for a family practice. I decided to go into nursing after working as a MA because I love patient care and wanted to do more. As a ...

In first year we havent had to speak in front of the whole class, just clinical groups for patient education presentation. I heard for 2nd year at my school you do. Def look forward to that :) haha.

Being quiet can be one of your strengths. I have a quiet personality and nurses have told me that the quiet ones are more compassionate, laid-back, and easy listeners/comforters. I tend to be quiet because I am afraid of what others might say but I s...

Hi there Dont give up first of all!! A study group is good but there is a book called Fundamentals of Success (available at Barnes and Noble) that contains most of the material you cover in fundamentals. I found that book a big help with tons of NCLE...

I also deal with anxiety especially in the clinical setting. I get anxious with the feeling that I dont know what I am doing and what if I do something wrong. I asked my clinical instructor if I could talk to her about my anxiety issue and I was so s...
