I would like to hear from the single mothers who have found an area of nursing that works great for them in regards to being able to be their for their children as well as financially support everyone well. I dont see how 12 hour shifts would work fo...

Im a student nurse and dont see 12 hour shifts working for me. what areas of nursing offer 9-5 m-f and what is the pay like? Im in the NY area....Long Island, Westchester, Putnam thanks!

I just finished my 1st semester and while I passed, I struggled the entire time, passing by the skin of my teeth. Dont get me wrong, I am happy that I passed but freaking out at the idea of going back next semester bc Im scared Im going to fail if it...

NCLEX Review books! So helpful!

OP, Im with you! I have no desire to work in a hospital and I hope to work in a Drs office when I graduate. For me my family comes first and 12 hour shifts are too much time away from my kids.

yes, not comparing yourself to your other classmates is good advice...there are so ppl who just get it and are doing very well with little effort-that can be very intimidating. dont ask what others ppls test scores are or how theyre doing, etc..just ...

I will def READ every night and not wait until 3 days before the tests. I will try my hardest to have my reading done before classes so I know what the frig theyre talking about! lol I did not do that last semester. I cannot for the life of me figure...

I think I should have asked to include when your Med/Surg semester is as that seems to be the killer I hear

Im scared to death of Med-Serg as I heard its the weed-out course too!

I have the Fundamentals of Success NCLEX review book and while I can see why people think its a great book, It didnt help me at all with my Nursing school tests. I think it really depends on your class and how they test. Unfortunately, my nursing pro...

My Final is next week and I am at a loss of how to study for this test. How do you study for a test that covers approx 3500 pages of information. Our exams unfortunately did not test us on the most important, 'standout' parts of the chapters. Many of...

Its 1st semester and so far we've lost 8. Finals week is next week and about 7 people are going to make it or break it depending on their grade so they might lose more

To say Im a wreck is an understatement. I worked my butt off getting prereqs done (GPA 3.9 Deans List), I studied like a maniac before I took the TEAS (where I got a 92), Ive taken out $15K in loans and I am currently 1 POINT, yes, I said one single ...

There is no option to repeat if I fail. No, they do not review the tests after we take them. We can see our tests during office hours and Ive done that and it didnt seem to help:(

Im in my 1st semester, 1st year of RN school. The amount of reading is ASTRONOMICALLLLLL! I had been warned that it would be alot of reading but this is almost laughable if it wasnt so ridiculous. I actually counted and we need to have read 700 pages...

Yes!! I went into it with a very postive attitude, totally committed. Had I know that the program was so poorly organized and haphazard, that when you asked questions you would get your question reiterated back to you as a response and that we would ...

GM2RN, your acting like hospital nursing is the end all be all for an RN degree. WHY I chose the Nursing profession is really irrelevant to my post. I posted this question bc I am certain there are single mothers in my situation in the field of nursi...

Im half way through my 1st semester of 4 and Im hating nursing school! Is this normal??? For one, our clinicals are being done in LTC rehab and I HATE it. Bed sores and bed baths, incontinent patients, feces and urine everywhere, It was all I could d...

loveblossom, I appreciate your suggestions and others as well. I am def not making excuses. I just know what Im willing and not willing to compromise on. I know that hospital nursing is not an option for me for many reasons. I take being a parent ver...

newway, Yes, I want to work in a plastic surgeons office. what do you suggest?

where do CNA's work?? (other than the typical 12 hr shifts in the hospital). I will have my CNA after I finish this semester as an RN student and would like to start working right away but the 12 hour shifts are not an option.

annaw05, flexible is definately what I need. I only have 1 free day available a week. was hoping I could do it once/week

My cousin is an RN for a renowned Plastic Surgeon in CA and so I can say to the post above that you are only 1/2 right. She said it does occasionally happen that patients are sick from anesthesia but rarely do patients need to void in bedpans bc the ...

I dont realistically see being able to find quality child care to cover nights, weekends or holidays for a hospital job. It just isnt going to happen, especially for holidays. As for salary, Im not sure where any of the previous posters live but her...

I am a Nursing student realizing that 12 hr shifts in the hospital arent going to work for me and am wondering what other options I will have as a new grad needing a 9-5 job,no weekends, holidays off. What is the pay like for these jobs and what area...
