first of I would like to say that I love allnurses.com. This community is very supportive and I am glad to be a part of it. My situation is I am a junior in the nursing program. Suppose to be a senior next year. I am not going back. I knew people we...

babylady. I did witness cheating. Other students have witnessed cheating. All through the program. our school does not let us see tests from the year prior. I did get the 35 pages of all of the homework and a copy of the test on the last day of scho...

I am 43 years old. I have a family and a part time job. I am am in the pedi, maternity protion of the program. A junior. I had to leave the program last year because of work. I passed med surg and now my average is a 69, we need a 77 to pass. I got a...

i am going to stick to it and give it my all. Thank you so much for all the imput.

thank you all for your comments. I had to withdraw once already because work would not comply with my school schedule. I would need to get all in the 80's a 90 would be nice. I am trying to study my butt off. I only have until wed. to figure this ou...

In the nursing program that I am in it is required that you take spanish for the health care professonal. This also included those that have taken spanish and my spanish speaking friends. We all had to take it... regaurdless. Hope this helps. Good lu...

you should contact your school. Our school posts intern for the summer but the jobs are in other countires. You get room and board plus pay. Good Luck

I am so excited. I passed my med surg class!!:yeah:I just had to shrare this with the nursing world because I am so happy. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Only three semesters left. :) Have a merry christmas everyone and thank y...

Thank you all so much. I am still so happy about this small accomplishment. The advice I would give is listen to what the professors have to say and focus on that studying. Don't wait until the last minute to study, take good notes, answer practice q...

The only reason why I may regret it sometimes is fear of failure #1. I am in med surge and only passing by 2 points and we have 1 test and the final. I guess my #1 reason isn't regret it's just fear. My regret is now I am broke, with the economy, and...

I feel compelled to write because I too am a non triditional student. I am in my 40's and am a junior in a nursing program. It has been an emotional and now to financial struggle. Being torn between the children, the housework, school and work.... So...

in ma you can not work under the callibor of your license. In other words and RN can not work as a CNA.

I have heard that people do work full time during the program, all though I don't know how. I would not. going to school 4 days a week and a twelve hour clinical. I work twelve hour shifts over the week ends.

In my first year of clinicals we had to look up all the meds. and the info on our pt. the night before. When I got home I had to look up the meds and the class, state why they are used for that patient. I had to do a care plan and a concept map plus ...

just let me start by saying that in my last post I wanted to say that our school has an extremely high pass rate for the NCLEX. Also I am currently a nursing student. I think it to great to be an advocate for yourself, but it is how you do it. I have...

I am in an RN program that is very difficult. It has an extremely high pass rate and that is what's most important. Sure the stress level is high, but nursing can be very stressful. In my mind if I can pass this program, I can pass the NCLEX and that...

I have never used that type of service. However my friend did. She spent about $300.00. It took the person a very long time to get the resume back to her. That all happened almost a year ago and she still does not have a job and more importantly has ...

you didn't mention what actions your job took following the claims the person made. Did they suspend you? Are you still working there? How about...Did you stop the verbal abuse when this person was putting it apon the resident?

maybe you could put in for a different floor in the hospital. I am not sure if you are just not happy with being a nurse or you just don't like the nursing you are doing in the position that you hold within your hospital. You have a year experience s...

Congratulations!!:yeah: I know you don't know me but I am so happy for you:) Best of luck on the NCLEX

I personally think all nursing programs are quite challenging. Someone or two maybe even three people will not make it through. This does not mean they weren't smart enough, something else could have happened. In my program many people don't make it....

I am not a nurse yet so I am not sure what these words will mean to you. There are so many different opportunities for nurses. You could teach CNA or teach cpr first response for the red cross. You could go into community nursing, work in a school, a...

I have never taken the class there. If its a hospital, I would trust it. you can call the state and see what they have to say. I have called them before and they are great. Very nice and helpful. I had to leave a message once and it was detailed and ...

getting your cna is a good idea, it will make you more comfortable in approaching and talking with the patients. You did not mention if you needed to work. It doesn't sound like you need the benefits. If you become a cna then work for an agency, you ...

There are hospital and nursing homes that hire with good benefits. I am not sure what area you are from. Are you willing to relocate? Maybe if you were more specific in the area that you are in we could better assist you. Good luck
