  4. Streamlining care plan writing

    Don't get too worked up. If others can do it, so can you! I'm sure you've already been advised to get a care plan text book if your school doesn't require one. That helps. Your instructors will...

  14. currently a community college student..

    I'm starting Block 4 at SCC in August and I waited 1.5 yrs for acceptance. At that time, grades did not matter - you just got in the system and waited. From what I am now hearing the wait is a...
  15. Overwhelmed....will it always be like this?

    I remember the first week of school and thought I was going to lose my mind! There is no way you can possibly get the first reading assignment done. With that said, it definitely gets better as you...
  16. Do I need this for nursing school?

    Congrats to you! I just finished Block (semester) 3 of an ADN program (already have a Bachelors and went back to get my RN at age 45). Not to scare you, but get ready for a life change! I would...
  22. What does a Postpartum nurse do?

    I'm not an RN yet - just finished Block 3 which included L&D and postpartum clinical rotations. My hospital had "couplet care," which means the mom & baby room together - there is no nursery...
  23. Hi All, I am currently a nursing student in AZ and will be starting Block 3 (out of 4 blocks of a community college ADN program). Already have a BS, which is why I went the ADN route. I also...

  25. how do you quickly establish rapport with kids? any tips?

    I worked as a ped med asst in a private office before returning to school for my RN (I'm still a student). Don't be nervous - I find it's a lot easier to talk to kids than adults. If you can wear...
