Do they allow you to record class lectures? Our school did and I loved being able to just lay in bed or go do some yard work and listen to my lectures. It's great to listen to on the way to and from school in your car. If you get a voice recorder, ha...
Has anyone found that different types of automobiles are better for home health? I am going to get a new car soon and may be leaving my job at a nursing home to do home health. I was thinking a hybrid awd minivan would be a good choice. It would get ...

I know a nurse that went straight to nicu and is doing just fine. I"m sure there was a lot of training for it once she got there. Your success there probably depends on if you have someone who will really teach you and not go sit in a back room readi...

Get your mind used to sitting for long periods of reading by going over your anatomy books section on the heart and endocrine system. You could also simply find some free flashcards online that deal with med surg 1, or just simply some NCLEX material...

listen to your notes and look at the class notes at the same time is helpful, be sure to take good notes. you may can find Youtube videos on the class content for that day also. learn your notes word for word. You will need to study daily so that th...
I would like to find a clinic job and get out of the nursing home one day, I thought maybe becoming a diabetes educator would be a good idea, but what is the chances of an older male getting hired for that? Do you know any that fit that description?

Best book I had for NCLEX was Lacharities Prioritization And Delegation, along with the strategies section from ati, and a easy to read book called Freys 3000 bullets. You may want to just Google some pharm flashcards for free. And don't study the d...

Is this a pharm question from a book? Sometimes those books have errors and the may have meant 150mg in 1.5ml. My old current math for meds book had a few of those typos.
northmississippi replied to chavy21's topic in Student Assist
If your school is doing ati's NCLEX program, be sure to study hard on the NCLEX test strategies, and delegation skills, ati has one of the best, and you will need strategies on the NCLEX.

good news, nursing is one of the few jobs you can get without having 3-5 years experience like the accounting majors are about to sadly find out. It may be a good idea to start out on a night shift so that it will be a slower pace and you can learn a...

I took it and passed and I havent had a science class in many years. pay close attention to anything they say about the heart and lungs, and endocrine system.

my lpn to rn ran up a bill of about 8000 dollars over a year and half, that was for school only (books,scrubs, tuition,fuel, etc). I paid out of pocket (well my credit card did).
northmississippi replied to Schoolnurselpn's topic in School
Not make more money? Usually upgrading to RN gets you about 10k more a year. Having a Rn would open more doors if you ever left your current job and I hear many places are going to hire only Rn's. But if you have a good job with good retirement benef...
