I am a first year nursing student and I am interested in subscibing to some kind of nursing magazine. I thought maybe some of you might know of some good ones to try or bad ones to avoid. Thanks!

Thank you for all your suggestions. I have read a copy of RN and RN 2005. They seem pretty good. I would like to find out where to get the Incredibly Easy at. Do bookstores carry stuff like this or is there a web site to visit.

Wow, I'm sure glad I found this. I have the same problem. I get so tired of people in school asking me why my hands shake. I am so glad to know that others have the same problem. The only problem I have run into with mine is when we checked out on in...

Your not alone here. I have been doing this for three years. I am finally in the nursing program and I don't know if I am going to make it. It has been a huge struggle financially for me and my kids. I am just getting tired at this point. I have ...

I am a first year nursing student. The other day one of our instructers informed us to never ever put powder on a patient. She said if they asked us to, we should inform them that we won't do it. Then let them know how bad it is for their skin. To...

:) Thank you for all your information on this. I knew powder was bad for the lungs and also can cause yeast infection. But I wasn't aware of the cancer link. I think I will try to avoid using it on my future patients. Thanks for all your great r...

We were suppose to go camping with a couple of other families. But they decided to cancel because of all the storms we have been having. It is suppose to continue all weekend. No one wants to get hailed on in a tent. But at least I still have a thre...

oops! Sorry if I wasn't clear on my post. Thanks for your concern, but my son did make it and now is a healthy 9 year old. But just seeing the care and concern of the nurses during the ordeal was wonderful. It is heart wrenching to have your baby sic...

Just not being able to handle everything, (school, work, kids.) Also, Not surviving financially. My school is covered. But I am the sole supporter of three kids. I just don't know if I will be able to work enough during nursing school to provide for ...

I will be starting this fall. I am very excited and scared to death all at the same time. Crazy, huh?

I decided 9 years ago that I wanted to be a nurse. When I had my second child, I almost lost him. He spent a week and a half in the hospital. I was there everyday watching those nurses take care of my son and keeping him going. I decided right then t...

I'm 34 and have 3 kids. I've been doing the stay at home mom thing for 14 years. But I have wanted to be a nurse for about 8 of those years. I didn't get the opportunity, until my divorce. Now it is just as much a need as a want. I have been going at...

Wow! If I have to put in 42 hours a week just studying, I'm going to be in trouble.:uhoh21: Doesn't leave a lot of time for work and family, does it???( I start in the fall too)

Congratulations on the baby(or is it babies?)! I don't know how financial aid works in Canada but you should at least give it a shot. Also, is you husband supportive of this? If he is that will help a lot. I am sure this will take a lot of work but ...

During the school year, I work about 25 hours a week. I can't work anymore than that. In the summer I try to pick up more hours. It is difficult financially but I know it's only temporary. That's what keeps me going. I work as a home health aide. I ...

Hi! I live aboout an hour outside of St. Louis am divorced, and have 3 kids. currently work in home health. I am starting the nursing program in the fall, at a college nearby my home.

I work part-time and receive the pell grant. It's not a lot but it has paid for my school so far. I am starting the nursing program in the fall. So I expect to take out a student loan also. For all single parents... as said in an earlier post, get al...

:) Yes, SarahRN2B is right. I am currently going to a junior college to get my RN. I will have my associates degree in it. The nursing program itself is two years long but with the pre-reqs it takes a little longer. But in the end I will be an RN. ...

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. Mine is 15 yrs old and I am constantly worried about this happening to her. Especially, since I was a teenage mother myself 15 years ago. Whatever you do don't blame yourself. It sounds like you did everythi...

I am a single parent too. I currently work about 30 hours a week, while attending school on a part time basis. I started out just taking night classes. When I ran out of those, I had to rearrange my work schelule to accomodate for my day classes. I ...

I am so glad to know that I'm not the only one out there. I'm divorced, with 3 kids, 15,9,and 6. I also am doing school and working to support my family. The hardest part for me, is not having much money right now. I especially feel for my teenager....

Spring break, what's that??? Mine has "officially" just started. But my HAP instructor has assigned so much homework, that there's no time for much else. So much for a break!!
