Thanks, Tweetie. This was something just briefly mentioned in my nursing class a couple months ago. I'll go check out the topic on a search engine for info.

I have a petpeeve when I see doctors talking out in the halls to family members about the care of their loved one, while the completely A&O loved one is sitting in the next room still not understand their dx or plan of care. Why is it that some doctors think the faimly has more a right to know than the patient? I just don't think this is right. It violates the patients rights. When is it okay for me to go in and explain their dx and treatment if the doc hasn't already?

Thank you for both of your responses. My school does have an NCLEX review course that I'll be taking next week. So that will help. I'll remember to relax the night before, even though it's going to really hard. And I'll save the drinkin for afterwards.:)

something i noticed while going through the nursing program was every male nursing students fear and dread of the obstetrics floor. in fact, one man in my class was not even able to participate much in clinical because each laboring woman denied having a male nursing student. this made me think, why would it matter? there was a male doctor in the room. do you think male l&d nurses are appropriate?

Is there really a difference between ADN and BSN nurses? Do you think that only BSN programs should be offered?

I'll be graduating on this friday and I feel nervous about taking the boards. Does anyone have any questions or advice to give me about preparing for the boards?
