Congrats!!!!!

3 words: A NORMAL LIFE!!!!

According to Davis's Drug Guide: "Do not adminster IM because of danger of hematoma formation." And if I were to add to this...If we think about the blood vessels in the muscle (capillaries)...

I want to thank everyone too! This is the best group of people on the Internet, HANDS DOWN!!! I refer everyone in my program to Allnurses.

Ok after sifting through all this racial-religious-political mumbo-jumbo. I thought I would add try IRSC IN FORT PIERCE. If you need more info about the program PM me.

hopelessness R/T nursing school AEB my social life is falling apart

I know someone who went to medical school and wallpapered their room...house...with handwritten drugs and their properties. That's my plan too, for pharm.

This is my honest answer...in my school if you were not the top of each pre-req class then you if you made it on the program struggle from day one usually not making it past the first semester. Now that's my program. Other programs are not as demanding and if what you really want is to be a nurse then go for it. Don't hold back study your brains out and start studying NCLEX books from day one. You also have the option of doing the LPN thing and then transition to RN you want or find it too difficult. Either way ask yourself this "how bad do you want it?". If you really want something bad enough anything is possible

"Sleeping! There's no sleeping in nursing school". All the other suggestions especially exercise in the AM help incredibly. And best of all, nursing books in bed, knock out all students where they are best used as pillows! Ambien helps to reset the clock.

ED, Trauma, Trauma Hawk...never ever LTC or the "babies" (they scare the poop out of me)

ZERO ZILCH NIL NADA as of yesterday and five hours of paper work I received a grant in Florida from a non profit organinazation called workforce solutions. Yeah! Hope you all give it a whirl.

As is with most nursing programs they are much harder than you core courses all of my fellow students were the top of their class with grades and now some of them are struggling to pass with the required 76. What I'm trying to get across is do not get stuck on your GPA even though it plays a large part in your acceptance, make sure you have GREAT study skills, unbelievable determination, acceptance to possible lower grades and the will to carry on through adversity. I am going through a second degree with a less than stellar GPA. (3.5) I even failed some courses when I was a freshman. However since I've returned to school I've been 4.0 And the top grade in every class (prerequisites) with my very first disapointing and aggrivating B in fundamentals. Hope this helps...

one more thing to anyone taking advice from here or anywhere! There is no such thing as good nor bad advice it's all opinions from someone else's perspective...only you can make those decisions....

Hiddencat: it was not to say... Don't follow your dreams, but to learn new things can change your dreams especially when someone else is paying. Of course I could have been a rockstar if I wanted was in a pretty successful band but... There was more to learn, I was an artist and followed my dreams and had one HELL OF A GREAT TIME. Sp if I was to give the clearest advice...live life your own way and pay for it yourself. Follow your dreams and don't let the little inconsequential people get in your way because the only reality is yours!

You can't learn to to nursing but you may find a very good reason for becoming a nurse. There may be an area that you really like or may be passionate about. Nursing is a diverse ever changing field with developing opportunities. So if you don't have the option to change your major you need to find a particular area that you find important. For example when I get old I want to work for a plastic surgeon. HaHa! Look hard and deep into the career and you just may find an area of interest, an area that is important to you and the world. And besides becoming an important, successful, famous chef is like trying to become a rockstar. Becoming a nurse makes you a rockstar!!!
