When I gradaute, I am buying a brand spankin' new. 2500 diesel cummins RAM with a 35" lift with stacks!!!! ohhh yeeaahh!!!!, Movin out on the farm and gettin my son some goats...

Welcome to the REAL world... get used to it. Life is a competiton!!

I see your point, HOWEVER... I think the most disbelief with this post comes from the fact that she actually skipped clinical. I think most of us students cannot imagine skipping a clinical day, unless our arm was seriously stuck in a meat grinder or...

I completly agree, I sometimes think pepole just put these post's on here to "get our goat". I have a hard time beliving that people REALLY, REALLY think this way. At least I hope they are just saying these things because it is REALLY disturbing to h...

Are you seriously trying to learn all of these drugs from a website?? My goodness, you will be burned out before school even starts.... I know you are trying to get prepared, however i think you are going about it the wrong way. I looked at the websi...

My favs are Cardiac, Neuro and Critical Care.

Okay, I am not here to have a ******* match with you, However you did say that you did not have 2-4 years to let it soak in. So since you want to have a war of the words..thats fine. But like I previously stated, I and other RN students do not have 2...

Find another line of work, nursing does not need lazy nurses that cut corners and endanger pts... I suggest you stay were you are.

Abnormal findings are abnormal findings, not matter what the age of the pt.. While the elderly pt may be more prone to certain "abnormals", what you find in the younger population may also be found in the older population. It is great that you know t...

Over the summer, I spend it with my family. I dont buy the next qtrs books early because i will be tempted to study, I sometimes study when my son goes to bed or I may look at some stuff while he is at camp. But I don't study study at all. It is not ...

Okay, this is DEFINATLY a critical thinking issue.. check your pts Na+ level. Is it normal, high, low? If it is high then there is your answer. If not, then do some investigating... was it high upon admission?? You have to stop and think and try to f...

I am a phlebotomist, have been for five years, I worked in a large level one trauma center and drew blood all around the hospital then I worked just in the NICU until i started the RN program. I then worked in a long term acute care hospital drawing ...

In regards to SCC's program, it appears that you have recieved incorrect information. We have two class days that consist of an 1 hr 50 min. We have one assesment day at the clinical site that is 4 hrs then you do your careplan that night. We then ha...

Flight nurse.

I took the PAX when I first decided on nursing and I passed everything except math. It was not too bad just ALOT of material that I had long since forgotten.

Not real sure it's a big deal... as long as your not posting pics of drunken nights or times better forgotten... My classmates, intsructors and I use facebook alot to talk and communicate. I think it's a great resource. Our nursing program actually h...

All I can say is REALLY???!!! GET OVER IT.... I may sound like a real &*$%#, however I think you have been watchin too much tv or something as a nurse and as a student you do whatever it takes to help your pt to be more comfortable however small ...

As an RN student, I would just like to say that we don't have 2-4 years "to sit back and let it soak in". That statement is REALLY offensive. I have worked my ass off in school and have NEVER had the chance "to sit back and let it soak in"

When in doubt, always think back to your bascis.... ABC's!!!!

I have not heard anything specific about the school, other than nurses in local hospitals stating that nurse managers are not hiring nurses from these schools.. (Hondros, RETS now Fortis, Miami Jacobs...)Not sure the validity to this so take it with...

Granted, It takes time to develop critical thinking skills, however isn't school the place to develop these skills rather out in the real world on a pt??? That is really disappointing. That sucks you are going throught this. Sounds like you are reall...

WOW!!! Dont worry about critical thinking??? REALLY??? I would be finding a different school.. that is scary....

Here in Ohio, there have been a TON of nursing schools that have literally popped up overnight and it's kinda scary... I know there have been accreditation problems with Miami Jacobs and RETS. Not real sure about Hondros but i would be very careful a...

Honestly, If you are having a hard time in an LPN program, I would NOT attempt an RN program, It will not be any slower than what you are doing now, if anything it will be faster and you will be more confused and dicouraged than ever. I would stick i...

If she is 16 hrs post-partum, a moderate amount of lochia is too much, you need to know if the fundus is boggy or firm. If the fundus is boggy, the uterus should be massaged and you could possibly administer Methergine.
