Hello everyone I need some help. I am looking to go buy a couple NCLEX books, but I'm not sure which ones to choose from. Anyone have any advice on the books. I would appreciate any feedback.

Hello. I'm an ADN student in my 2nd semester. My week consists of the following: Mondays: Lecture 9 am to 11 am. Then go to the hospital and pick up my assignment, and go home and write my care plan (which can take me anywhere from 3 hours to 8 h...

Would you say to not get a Kaplan book then to study for the boards? I was going to get their newest edition and a Saunders book. What are your thoughts on this?

Which UMASS did you work at? If you worked at UMASS Dartmouth, could you please tell me a little about the BSN-MSN RN track program? Thanks.

This is how I got through electrolytes... First I took each electrolyte and defined it. Then I took the values and ranges and understood that for example Sodium (135-145) 145 Hypernatremia. Then I broke those two up and studied all the nursing ass...

I have done Fluids and Electrolytes. I have not done the Respiratory care of a child. I have quite a bit of information on Fluid and Electrolytes, and there is quite a bit to know. I'm not sure what you want to focus on. Just ask me a few questio...

\The RNotes by Ehren Myers is really good too, and it fits right into your pocket.

I'm from Fall River and work at Charlton Memorial Hospital. It's a really good hospital and I've learned so much since I've been there.

Not sure what school you go to, or where you are located. How about trying to find a tutor at your school, or coming to this board with some questions. I'd be willing to help you out if I know the answer. I'm sure if I don't know the answer someon...

Math is a big part of the nursing program. Especially when it comes to calculating dosages, IV drip rates, and Pediatric dosages. I'm not that great at math either, but I'm doing just fine. Just watch what is ordered, what is given, and what you n...

good luck on what ever happens. Just because your quiet doesn't mean you not nice. Sometimes people may think your too nice, and walk all over you. That is when you need to fess up and speak your mind. This has nothing to do with your nursing, bu...

It seems as though your in a situation where you don't want to be. You have to do what is best for you. If this is bothering you, then maybe think over some of your options and try them out. Your there to learn about nursing, and if people are bot...

The Davis's Med Deck is really good too!

I switched from child care. I got a degree in it and everything. I realized after 5 years that it was a dead end job, and how I really liked looking into things. I finally went for my CNA certificate, and loved it. At my CNA graduation my instruc...

I really enjoy Nursing2004 and every now and then they send me a Student nurse magazine. It's a special edition. Also if you really like the other magazines let me know. I'm looking for another magazine to subscribe to.

I'm in an ADN program, and when I complete it I'm going for my BSN. I was confused at first what to do also, but when I spoke to someone at my work about it and they said an RN is an Rn is an RN no matter what degree you have. It all depends on if ...

How long do they give you to take the test? How much did it cost you? Did you go to a class, or review books? How long do you have to wait for your results?

I would have to agree with you. I am also very quiet in my class, and because of that people tend to think that I know everything. I need as much time as the next person to understand something. I even get phone calls at home from my clinical grou...

I'm a student nurse from Fall River Massachusetts, and attending Bristol Community College.

Thanks so much for those websites, they are wonderful.

My school makes us use the Ackley and Ladwig book. It is helpful but only for certain diagnoses. I also have the Nursing Diagnoses cards by Taylor and Sparks, and also a Nursing care plan reference desk by Taylor and Ladwig. I am not sure how your...
