Hello everyone, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I started nursing school last august. I am scheduled to graduate in May. I've been having Back pain since january. It only hurt when I would sit down. However, it got worse and w...

Dont work with adults than be a peds nurse. I dont want to take care of seniors either. just suck it up for school. when your talking about nursing MONEY should not be a reason to go to school to be a nurse. It should be the desire to help people...

Honestly that I would of had more fun and apperciated my spare time cause nursing school is your life and thats one of the hardest adjustments.

well your not going to use lac ringer if your doing a blood transfusion cause it will clump (agglunate) however you spell that lol. NS is a safer fluid. you also flush with that. lac ringer has carbs in it so it will bring your sugar up.

most people do not realize what it really takes to be a nurse. you wont understand until you are in nursing school. RNs are undervalued by lay people but its just cause they dont get it. tell your friend to come to my school and take one of our test...

I think you should stick it out. you are half way there. I think if you really honestly want to become a NP then you will stick by it. Nursing is not a giving up you gotta power through this part of your life. do you honestly want to give up and th...

so to sum it up i like whats it done for me just wish it didnt consume my life

mine is a living hell and my classmates will agree. but they toughen you up cause for god sakes your going to be trusted with peoples life. no pain no glory. it takes over your entire life. at the same time you feel a great sense of accomplishment. ...

your a student not a nurse give yourself a break. we are learning. if you were perfect you wouldnt be a brand new student or a student right.

We do 2 lectures a week each are 3 hours and a piece and one 12 hour clinical day. we take 2 courses a semester. the first week your in school more than that but after the first week its what i wrote above. every school is different. if you are tha...

Sometimes Im a little worried but my plan is to do a bridge program and get my masters. and yes im aware of the fact that alot of them do want BSN and will not make an exceptions. however some of them will just add on a couple of classes to your brid...

depend mostly 6-8 hours a day. nothing on clinical day. sometimes i will take a sat and just study 4 hours.

go the extra year and become an RN. more room for growth and a lot more pay and respect

My advice is this.... deep down inside you know that you did your best and that you do know something. remember its not like our prereqs when we can recall word for word what we learned. If you walk in the room saying I did my best now bring it o...

Risk for fall r/t current living situation as evidence by poorly organized household items. I would work off something like that. than list all the stuff wrong that you assessed in his house under the assessment section of your care plan. oh and put...

from what my dean told me they look at your prereqs as far as your gpa not your nursing school gpa. but yours pretty good im sure you will get in.

a.a in nursing? you mean you just finished an ADN program at a community college right. did you take the nclex and get your license. im assuming you want a bsn right. cause you need to get licensed as an RN then apply for the RN-BSN programs. your ...

yes my school is like that

Also depends on the school you are attending. some schools are tougher than other. there is no way that would fly in my school. i so wish it would. i heard bsn programs are easier than adn programs. 99.9% of nursing students do not have a routine ...

you know at this point i say go the extra year and become an RN it will open so many more doors for you. i dont know where lpns work but if you wanna work in certain areas maybe you should become an RN. you've suffered this much lol whats one more ye...

Advanced practicing nurses like Nurse Practitioner, crna you need to have a masters. they are ALL master degree programs. Bachelors (BSN) is still just reg RN. And you MUST be an RN to become a NP, FP, CRNA. you in no way can do this as an LPN. LPNs...

CNA are not nurses. neither are med assistance. they are nothing like nurses. i know its petty but its kinda an insult lol. everyone has there own set of skills to contribute. but after all the hard work you put in as an rn to be grouped up with a ...

Silly but yes I do. I'm in RN school and not to sound like a snob but i dont like it when people call medical assistants, cna etc nurses. there not. I think in general society doesnt realize what RNs do. not to put down med assistants and cnas bu...

those are the people who dont make it past the first exam in nursing school so dont worry. also hate to break it to you but compared to nursing school A&P is a joke lol

well they are similar. there symptoms etc are the same. Easy way of thinking of it is nephrotic syndrome is exactly that is caused by many different disease where the glomerulus is now going to let protein filter through. Glomerulonephritis is the ...
