Hello....just wanted to follow up.... So I took the full time med-surg job at the local hospital, but I quickly realized that it is not AT ALL the type of nursing I want to practice. While I am learning a lot and getting experience, I am drained and ...

I work on a very busy respiratory/medical floor with a high turnover rate for RNs. This is my 1st job after graduation and I received about 6 weeks of orientation and then was put on the schedule alone....not one of my managers even met with me to gi...

Hello! I am a recent grad and just passed my boards....officially an RN! I went into school with a strong desire to work in Maternal/child health, but kept an open mind. Now that I've graduated, I still have that desire. (Not really at all intereste...

I also forgot to mention that the starting pay is the same per hour for either job. And, unfortunately, I live in an area with limited choices for peds units in a hospital setting. The ones we do have either want entry level nurses to have their BSN ...

Congratulations! I hope to be where you are in a couple of months. Starting the app process now for Fall '11 ADN program. Now go celebrate all that hard work you did to get into the program! :)

Hi all! This may seem like a silly topic, but I am curious if anyone else has had the same experience. I am a pre-nursing student and we had a blood drive at our college yesterday. I had never given blood before, but always wanted to do it. I was ner...

Hi...I also take the TEAS V in January. I have been doing a lot of reading here and talking to others who have recently taken the exam. I believe most schools will not allow you to use a calc. Also, I have gotten the impression that version V is diff...

Hi beauty11986! Since I received my 'not so favorable' grade last week, I have been doing alot of reading and research on effective study. One tip I came up with is called the Cornell note taking system...you can read about it here: http://www.ucc.vt...

Hi all! Checking in again to see how everyone is doing so far? I did really well on my first lab exam, 93, which I am very excited about! However, did not do so well on my 1st lecture exam....66 (D+). Ugh! I have been bummed since I found out, but t...

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing so far? We are still covering the intro stuff, but today, started a unit on biochemistry....do the rest of you do chem in your A&P classes? I think it's great cause I could use the refresher! Really l...

Hi! I'm in the same boat as you...going to be applying to NS for Fall '11 and I have anxiety over having a weak stomach about certain things. For me, it's going to be mostly about vomit and certain smells. I have nurses in my family and they all tell...

Well, I guess that is good to hear cause I have the Saladin book! I think I am also worked up a bit because of all the comments I hear from others about the course and how hard it is. Since you have already taken it, what was your experience?

Hi...I received my book and cd today! I am so excited to get started, but OMG, the book looks intimidating! What does everyone think? Are there things that you all are doing now to help you prepare for class?

OP...I understand what you are saying. I feel the same way you do when I get these types of reactions about my choice to pursue nursing. Its natural to feel scared about the whole process therefore we feel insecure, and that just hinders the way we s...

Congratulations!:yeah:I hope to be where you are this time next year! Keep up the good work!

Me too! I'm really excited to learn more about the human body cause I find it so fascinating, but nervous 'cause all the horror stories your hear about A&P. I've already scoped out some learning tools online that I'm going to order as tools to he...

Hello all! I am a new poster, although I have been lurking on this site for many months. I did try some searches before I decided to post, so I hope I'm not repeating something that has already been discussed. I am currently a pre-nursing student at ...

Hello...I am pretty new here, although I have been "lurking" for a while.:) I am currently taking my pre-reqs at a local cc, with the goal of applying to nursing school in the next 2 years. My question is about taking Chem100 and Bio100 as prep for t...
