I am graduating in May 2004 and am so excited. My nursing skills are quickly progressing and I'm finally gaining confidence in my abilities. However, the hardest thing for me is dealing with families. I get so nervous when family is in the room. I so...
I am going to be graduating in May and I want to know what everyone thinks about temporary licenses before taking the NCLEX. I can't decide whether I just want to get my NCLEX over with as soon as I'm cleared to take it, or if I should work on my tem...
Hmm, Jeni, I'm not an expert student, but I would seriuosly try not to take them all in the same semester if you can help it. I know of people that have done it and been fine, but the majority that try, fail. We lost probably a good 7-10 students fro...

I don't actually have children yet. I'm still young...only 21, but so baby hungry, I can hardly believe myself. This question was mostly for future reference and just to see if I'm totally crazy in wanting a career and motherhood.

My ultimate goal in life has always been to be a mother. Nursing is important to me too. I'm in an ADN program right now and graduating in May...I want my BSN as well, and maybe even my masters, but I want a family too and I don't want to wait any lo...
Well hello, I'm new here, but enjoying reading and replying to all these discussions. My name is Lesley, I'm 21 and in the 4th semester of an ADN program and will graduate in May!!! I'm married and have one child...my husband that is. I live in a pod...
I know what you're talking about. I've had days like that, and even months. In fact, I suppose I hit all wall as well, just two weeks ago. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a while now and we finally were, and then I miscarried. T...
Alright, here goes. I've never done this discussion board thing before, so I hope this goes okay. I am an ADN student graduating in May. I would really like to work on a maternal child floor. However, I've heard from so many instructors and other nur...
