Thank you for this! I'm taking med-surg now and it is really a lot of stuff, this was very helpful!

I thought I hated nursing my first semester first day in LTC but once I got comfortable I loved it. Then this semester I thought I hated med surge when we had clinical and we just had peds/ob rotation and I actually was missing med surge where we wer...

As I student I am asking why there are so many nurses that complain about being "underpaid". Can someone please describe whether by underpaid you mean not paid enough for the job your doing because it's stressful, tiring, and you have an overload of ...

I am just wondering if any one who is a nurse now graduated and felt like you "knew everything". Did school prepare you for the nursing world? Right now I'm studying for an exam and am feeling extremely overwhelmed to the point where I don't even wan...

I'm not sure what class this happened with but since you say that you are well into school I can only assume that it is a pretty important class such as Adult 1, Adult 2, ect. If other students received the same non passing grade as you and were pass...

Lucky! I want to live where you were renting for $500 a month lol. I have a one bedroom and pay $950 in FL.

If you don't want to administer anesthesia then you do not want to be a CRNA. If you want to be in the OR and assisting the surgeon then you might look into being RNFA, or CNOR which is just a certification for RN's to work in the OR specialty. Nurse...

I am currently in a BSN program and we are in our second semester. I have recently been having trouble with my patho class. I made a 68 on the first test and I am feeling really discouraged. I feel like there is so much information that I don't know ...

My very first patient ever in nursing school was a dementia patient. I remember the first day of clinical trying to feed him breakfast and he slapped apple juice all over my white uniform lol. At first I was really afraid of him, but after the third ...

I'm wondering if there are any other students that have been accepted at UCF Daytona in January for the regular BSN program? I just got my acceptance email tonight! I am SO happy and excited! The other people I've talked to on here that were accepted...

Lol good luck working during a BSN program. You will barely have any time to sleep.

All of my instructors tell us to never be afraid to contact the physicians if it is necessary. "Don't be scared" is my clinical instructors famous last words for everything haha.

lol.

I'm not sure where you live at I'm assuming , but at Daytona State College they have a transition to professional nursing program for LPNs to become RNs. Since you are already an LPN you shouldn't have a problem getting into the program. It's three s...

I really hope this is true to where ever I work after I graduate because I HATE them too. Not that I don't think care should be planned but who has the time to do one on every single patient, at least not as detailed and long as we have to do them in...

I'm in my first semester of my BSN program actually it has been a little over a month since it started. At first I was very overwhelmed with homework and reading but I adjusted to having a heavy load after a few weeks. Sometimes it is still hard for ...

Thank you everyone for the encouragement, it does help to know that other people have felt the same way as me. I will definitely try some of the study tips that were offered to me. And thank you onaclearday for all of the resources I will definitely ...

I'm in my first semester of nursing school too, and just wondering how would that be documented?

It bothers me. Becoming a CRNA is what everybody says they want to do these days, and the majority do it for the money. I think it's stupid for people who aren't already nurses or student nurses to say this, because it's hard to become a nurse period...

The urine and fingerprinting info comes with the online background check, you get emails sent to you after you sign up for it, and you have to set up an appointment online to do both. It's simple, just follow the links in the emails. Do you know if ...

I'm not sure either, but it is easier to understand the due dates when you pay the $150 for the background check program. Then you will get a bunch of emails about fingerprinting and urine testing which you can make both appointments online. After th...

I just got information on all of the things I need to complete in order to begin my BSN program at UCF in Janurary. Everything was familiar to me because I have been through the process once before when I was accepted to an ADN program that I didn't ...

Well, my parents are my grandparents, and my grandfather works at a hospital and they told him that I could not be on the insurance anymore when I turned 19...so I haven't had any for almost two years now. I tried to get FL healthcare but it wasn't r...

Kay thank you so much for that link! I will probably get insurance through UCF they seem to have a pretty good plan with a lot of providers, definitely better than FL healthcare's "cover Florida" plan. I also felt like that email had so much info. I'...

Thanks everyone for all the replies! They were all very helpful. :)
