Hello! My name is Jami and I am a student nurse at DTCC in Dover. I am in my 1st semester of clinicals. Just wanted to stop in and say hello!

I took the NCLEX-RN for the second time yesterday. Both times I had 265 ?'s. The 2nd time, I took the break I was offered, took my time and really read the ?'s and answers more thoroughly. I found out today I passed, with a HUGE sigh of relief. I...

To those Nurses who moved to Fl and needed to apply for a license b/c yours was from out of state, how hard was it. I am wondering how soon in advance I should apply, or if I can even apply before I move Thanks! Jami

Just curious, for those who work @ SMH (which I believe is Sarasota Memorial), what is the pay like for new grads? I am most likely moving down the end of this year to be with my mother and grandmother (coming from Delaware). I am very familiar wit...

Jill, unfortunately I recent failed with 265 ?'s. I was wondering if you could tell me a bit more about the NCBSN review....how much was it, is like the saunders cd, etc? You can send me a private message. Thanks! Jami

Does anyone know of any good websites that help with learning EKG's? I am just not getting the whole picture and need some assistance! Thanks! Jami

We have decided to use Raven Simone's "This is my time" because we feel it really expresses what an accomplishment we have made. This Is My Time oh, at times I felt like I had lost my self cuz people try to make you someone else I had to learn to t...

In Delaware, Christiana Care has a Critical Care Internship that last 6 months. I believe you can choose which 2 area you would like to rotate through. More information can be found on their website. Christianacare.com I believe that is correct Ja...

Hello all. I know there are some of you out there that are great with finding websites. I am looking for some cardiac website for practice questions. We have a MAJOR test on Monday for Second Level RN Cardiac. Basically a lot of critical care que...

Help! I need help with my pt's lab for a care plan. He has had a low H&H, low RBC Count. He is not anemic according to Dr. Diagnosis. He is on Lovenox, but I got dinged before when I put that as a reason. What else could be causing this?

Hello all! I am looking for a little help! We are having a debate in my legal and ethical nursing class. My part is that I am on the PRO side for patient confidentiality. Focusing on how it impacts my nursing career. Does anyone have any ideas o...

Basically what I need is information on how patient confidentiality affects my nursing practice. How it is good and how it affects nursing.

I am not against. I am for. The people who are against are basically discussing patients with diseases who feel they shouldn't have to tell people about it. But i am having a hard time finding articles and stuff on how it affects nursing practice.

I have never in my life hated something so much! I never want to do that again! I hated the thought of being videorecorded. I hate that little clock in the upper right hand of the screen telling me how long I had left! I had a good cry afterwards...

Personally, When I took psyc last semester, I felt that it is a totally different way of thinking. Thinking outside of the box I think is what they kept telling us. Don't think about fixing them like you would with a med surg or surgical patient. ...

This appeared in our newspaper the other day. I am currently in my 3rd semester of clinicals and waited a good year to get into the program itself. Here in DE, it is now rumored that is taking anywhere from 1-2 1/2 yrs to get in (that's second hand i...

I spoke with my Aunt who works at the American Diabetes Association. She stated that if you contact them, they may be able to lead you in the right direction of finding a place to help get your hours. They might be able to hook you up with a Dr. or...

I felt compelled to answer to this post. I think that although some inmates are bad people and have done horrible things, others made a mistake and inmates are people too and need to be cared for. I say this b/c my boyfriend is currently incarcerat...

Our instructors post the Power Points on the college course website and we are to download them and print them ourselves. They just started doing this which has raised some controversy. (paying all this $ for lab fees etc, why can't they just print ...

Hi all! I have a question...For Mental Health Clinicals....we had an assignment to wath a movie from a list that was given to us. I chose "Awakenings". For those who have seen it....I have to do a nursing care plan....I was trying to find a NANDA ...

Oh Yeah, I've definetly gained and it is MAKING ME SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!! I always though I would be so stressed and not eat, except I am so stressed I eat everything......

Takes me one hour to get to school. Depends on what clinical site we are experiencing at that time. Right now the psych rotation is 15 mins from my house, however L & D is 2 hrs away!

Very much to my suprise, I am enjoying my psych rotation. I said in the beginning of the semester I would hate it and I don't. I thought I would enjoy L & D, nope, I hate it. I think it's b/c I we are not in a great clinical setting or b/c my ...
