    To continue on or not?

    That is the exact problem with "private" "Do your prereqs while you're in the program!" schools. That is not enough time to include your prereqs during a challenging nursing course. AP and Micro are...

    RN-BSN programs-vent

    I am confused. Why does a nurse need to have new clinical experiences outside of a post graduate cert or anp

    preceptorship advice

    My advice is this. The only limitations in life are those you place upon yourself. Do what your heart tells you. Although if you don't get a job in Cali within a few months of graduating, I would...

    Multiple jobs

    I technically have three jobs and I am in my preceptorship in NS with THREE DAYS LEFT! I work full time at my hospital as a foot in the door to women's health. I also have two per diem jobs, one...

    ATI 2013

    I took the 2013 Predictor on thursday. I got a 97% chance of passing NCLEX first try and I did not do anything but take one practice exam and of course throughout the semester I took a practice test...

    Picking the right school to get hired in the future

    In my opinion of having at a LOT of jobs in my short time, it is almost always a combination of who you know, interviewing skills and persistence. As long as you go to a school that is respected, you...

    New RN Nursing Student

    My only advice is to avoid making your entire life about school. Whether it's your calling or not, it's still a job. Study smartly and learn how to answer NCLEX questions and

    Drug Test/Physical Question

    I think maybe PP was thinking of Ativan?? List it on both. Do not lie, it's not illegal to be a nurse and have Valium prn, as long as you are not working while under the influence. Bring your...

    ADN-BSN paper

    We use EBP in my ADN
  11. I believe 1.5 mL is okay for large muscles. But I may be wrong. Also, there is no rule of thumb. You use the ratio that they tell you to use. You can't make up your own
  12. Why are you confused? The question tells you what concentration to use. There are 5mL in the vial. It says what concentration you
  13. If there is less volume in the vascular space, there is less resistance and therefore, low BP. The hr is high because the heart is trying to maintain adequate cardiac out put. Stroke volume(how much...

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    Ok. "Just writing this so the message will be long enough"

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    That is not what I'm saying. I know the BSN is more competitive. BUT not everyone has the option. I have a job waiting for me so that's a moot

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    That is my point though. Don't generalize because every school is different. I'm not arguing about the best choice because that is obviously the BSN but that is not an option for

    Should I Even Try Becoming An RN?

    Also. What does a job have to do with the type of degree? Nothing. It takes the same amount of time no matter what you do. You might as well do it now before life gets in the

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    IF I could've gone straight into a BSN program, I would've. But four year schools require ALL previous transcripts. I don't have access to one school transcript because I don't have $10000 to pay the...

    Halfway Point

    I'm in my last semester and I'm taking med surg 2 and professional topics in nursing. I work full time and my program is full time so I'm always studying for something. I have an A in my prof topics...

    Should I Even Try Becoming An RN?

    Take my advice, do well the first time. Get your A's the first time. You have no credit and no credit is better than bad credit. Second, get your BSN now. Why get an ADN if you have nothing stopping...

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    Uhhhh my program includes both specialty clinicals, community health nursing and management. If I could've done a BSN program, I would've. But, if BSN programs met everyone's needs then there would be...

    RN to BSN - does it matter which school I pick?

    I can't see why the heck a nurse needs to do clinicals in a bridge program. That's weird. But I would go with the online one. As long as it's not a ridiculous amount of

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    Depends on where you live. In Nevada the ADN nurses from my school are preferred BUT leave nothing to luck. Work hard, network and try to at least get a per diem job in a hospital if that's where you...
