I love Smart Scrubs, the quality is fantastic a bit pricey but worth it, I think. As for Dansko shoes,,, I am in love, not a fan initially but now addicted. Great for those sore feet!

I am so sorry you are going through this.. This is a hard profession and like you I am a "newer nurse" (2 years) I have found my "zone" doing Adult Day Health Nursing, nothing too stressful, not alot of money but.. I work regular hours, my patients/...

YES.. it scared me to death! No harm to the patient but enough of a scare to me to get me to leave the job! Couldn't sleep, always afraid I'de "Make a mistake" terrible ,terrible feeling!

Go for what you may like! I have discovered after only almost a year post graduation that I am not a "hospital type." I have only admiration for nurses who take on that stress, I did it for a couple of months and was never so unhappy and full of self...

Haven't worked that long, yet... but even as a student my favorite shift is evenings.. Pace is more comfortable, not rushed ike days.. Patients have some "down time with family" and usually finished up with treatments etc. Can do medications and trea...

Baby blue! Figured no one would take this when I was in nursing school. No one ever did.

Congratulations! It is so good when there is good news. The tips were helpful too. Best of luck

How about putting your concerns in writting to the supervisor? People hate to see things in writting and this may prompt him to address the issue. I know what you mean about having a job and being grateful.. but I have to agree... do you really want ...

I too, am a new graduate with 2 months of work under my belt.. My advice TAKE THE MEDS! I can assure you that I could not function without it, I feel like I have the attention span of a fly! The more nervous I get, the more I forget and so on.. But i...

Hi: It is so good to find this link! I am a new graduate and I HAVE A JOB, at least for the moment. I have been working for 6 weeks. at a short term rehab. I like rehab and was very pleased to get the job... but my ADD and distractability has caused ...

Thank you for asking the question, your students are already fortunate to have you! I am probably repeating everything that has been said... As a new graduate who has been fortunate enough to find work in this economically I am constantly questioning...

I agree with the previous post. CNA after one semester is the way to go. i worked on a specific floor but in retrospective I wish I had gone into the float pool. You made more money, experienced different types of patients and situations. Also I thin...

I have to second that opinion, of course, places can improve, but... i personally experience a death of a family member, adolescent, who was there. Not the one mentioned already... I know the job market is terrible, but .. Best of luck

My heart goes out to you! I was in that same position last year. I did not have a family situation, but had failed and was dropped from the program. I agree with the other posts, appeal the decision, talk to the Dean do everything you can to get back...

WOW! that is amazing.. thanks so much for the information.

I got a job as a CNA after 2 semesters but the applications in most places stated at least one semester as CNA. I live in Ma.

I think you should look under Mass. Gov. go to board of nursing and I believe it is there, I know I show it also.

Thank you, I went to students and long distance learning. That helped, now I still don't know what to do.. Don't know if I can take the pressure of the clinical test! You have given me alot to think about. Good luck at Bunker hill, hearing great th...

Just heard that I have not been accepted back into the Associate program I was in. I failed ( 73%) the final of my last semester! My grade was 76% our pass is 78%. I failed another nursing course 3 years ago, and now they want take me back. I have a ...

WOW! I never heard of this place! Have you or anyone you know been there? I have completed everything but my last med-surg. Thank you for this potential ray of hope

Thanks, i am looking into LPN programs now, I was at Laboure. I am determined to do this.

I also found nursing school to be reminescent of "high school.!" I just hated that, some people wouldn't ask questions because other would snicker at them, etc. It was very disheartening to me. On the flip side, I have met some great people, who I no...

Thanks.. I had looked into that program in the past but was discourage because they wouldn't accept all my credits. That was before i was out of my most recent program! I will reconsider them though. Why not try somewhere new, its' great you got in s...

What is LM/RC?

Hi: It is good to hear some positive information from people who have failed in the past! I did not pass two weeks ago, it was my last semester(AD program) I needed a 78(our passing grade) on my final and ended up with a 76. I had failed med-surg 1 s...
