Wow, thanks and yeah maybe I do make some life changes, lol! My mom is a retired RN and of course she loves that someone in the family is following her. Folks like the OP and you should continue sharing your stories, it really motivates people like ...
Wow, what an inspiring story! At 30, I thought I was too old to attempt changing careers, my family is supportive except my girlfriend who ridicules me of not knowing what I want to do in life. Sometimes it causes doubt but after volunteering at hosp...
Lol! I love AN though, I get all sorts of advice and insights here hence my addiction. Case in point, last semester, I got great advice about study habits which I followed to get over my exam anxiety and got an A- in A&P. :yeah:Yeah so Nurses, B...
True because my friends who just graduated with BSNs were all employed about 2-3 months after passing the NCLEX. It also depends where you are. I hope it's this way when I graduate.
I turned to Nursing after deciding 4 yrs of Accounting wasn't for me despite the good money. I love the personable nature of doing your best to help an ailing person recover and that at the end of the day you actually do something noble regardless of...
You know what? An hour before the exam yesterday, I took you guys' advice, walked around and took a quick nap and boy, that exam was a breeze! It sounds like a no brainer but I really never tried it before. I'm used to cramming right up to the time o...
Thank you all for your advice, I'll surely take it to heart and pray that I do better using the various techniques you guys have recommended. It's not that I don't understand the materials. I do, put in a lot of hours studying and learn by making ...

Arghhhh, I want to scream! I should have asked this question earlier, I just finished the lecture exam on joints and muscles, Lab is next week and this and the other sites would have helped me tremendously. You guys are a tremendous help to us rookie...
Sorry about your experience. I can relate, I'm currently in the Accounting field trying to get into Nursingand I have to deal with a "pmsing" 46 yr old male co-worker on a daily basis. My boss constantly conveniently "forgets" his previous instructio...
I'm taking A&P I & II, what I do is to read the chapters at least twice, thrice and I'm good. In my study group, we take turns explaining concepts to each other as if we were the lecturer, it does help a lot as I tend to remember things I say...
I agree with you 100%! I volunteer at a hospital while getting my degree and seeing what the nurses go through takes a lot of grit, determination and love for what they do. Some of the experience with patients can be a bit testy but I for one feel l...

This is so funny, makes me remember the experience of the a friend of mine. She took the exam, went home to check and saw RN next to her name so she thought she passed and informed all her friends. Come to check, I think when you register for the NCL...
Wow, this is so true! Well, I was on the opposite side. My mom, a former nurse was having a extreme sugar spike at 3am at the very night I went to visit. After doing my best to calm her down, I called my ex, who at that time was a nursing student for...
