After spending a couple full days last month applying to Georgetown's online program, I got accepted. The program is to start in March, and it's all online (except the 650 hours of clinical). I was so excited to get accepted, but am now realistically...

Good afternoon, I'm about to embark on my career as a nurse in the USN. Over the past several weeks, I've learned the basics of becoming an officer in the USN, and am planning on reeping the benefits of the camaradic field. For those of you that are...

Bumping this thread.

Hey everybody. I was just curious how many of you are younger males in the nursing field, particularly around the ages of 18-25. I was the second youngest student in my class to graduate. First youngest was a 20 year old girl. I'm really curious t...

You were looking pompous. This is an internet site. Not an interview. I often make mistakes in my writing, but never double check anything because this is a forum. Let people think what they want about my intelligence, until you meet me in person, yo...

21 when I graduated.

Anyone that works to live needs to re-adjust their lifestyles. There is a law in economics called the propensity to consume, the more you make the more you spend. If you re-adjust your lifestyle you can live on any amount of money per year. You may n...

This.. NPs will be the new family doctor's of the future. Family M.D. just has no money any more, and NPs will be happy with making 100,000+ a year. Mock my words, family doctors will be phased out. Only time will tell.

this x 10 billion. That smell is so awful sometimes, and you're trying your best not to let the patient know you notice it since they're a little self conscious themselves. Anything else is fine.

Just graduated with my bachelor's from NAU. Recieved my RN last week. Happy to be aboard. I have

If it were me, I would have put this kid's nose in the corner a long time ago. Still, you're still WAY too new to be precepting (even though I know you got stuck with it). Your preceptor should have NEVER let you do that. Shame on her! You can only d...

Sorry, I didn't realize this was a christian site. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'our true God'. I'm a monk, are you telling me my God isn't true, because that's certainly the impression that was just made. Without getting in an argument, I ...

It's obvious how important this kind of information is when it comes to being a good nurse. /sarcasm I think the majority of people will agree that on the job experience prepares people more for the real thing than any academic program could. Sure, y...

This is what should have been said from the start. Instead we have people arguing which field is a 'better' field. I didn't mean to offend anybody with my comments. My point I was trying to make is, people feel that M.Ds are a much better place to be...

DNS on the go, Sounds like to me the problem isn't the student, but the teacher. Why don't you step up your game? You say these students are unintellectual? Do you even know what intelligence compromises? Do you understand that the ability to write a...

Yeah..... I don't like that comment. Not one bit. Doctors will never understand the sense of reward that comes from being a nurse. Doctors act like God, but nurses are God. Intelligence has nothing to do with it. When it comes down to it, it's your ...

Going back to my OB rotation, I never had a problem from the patients! I was very honest from the beginning with them. I always introduced myself and told them I was a student. I also informed them that if there was anything that they didn't feel com...

Nclex won't give you any 'iffy' answers. They'll tell you to round to the nearest tenth.

If you're getting those scores on Kaplan you will do fine! Still, continue to study the basic's and learn about all the essentials! I got 54% on my Q trainer 7 and passed the NCLEX @ 111 questions. Those q-trainer's are tough! don't think to heavily ...

I remember going through saunder's Questions and having a question with a few wrong answers. I guess it's just a way to keep us on our toes!

I was 1 of 2 in a class of 30. My age is 22. Men really have it bad when it comes to demographics in the nursing field.

I averaged about a 57-62 on all my q trainers. I passed the exam @ 110 questions. They're more indicators than actual predictors.

Wow, crazy you got all 265 questions!!!!! That had to be nerve wracking. If you got the 'good' pop-up, you passed! Relax, you're a nurse!

Out of all the study guides, Kaplan prepared me the most, just because it gave me an idea of what types of questions I'd be dealing with. Though I think I would have sufficed with the Saunder's book / CD I had. I don't remember, but my test had absol...

That PTT is within normal. When giving Heparin, you can expect to see a 1.5 x client's base line PTT and that still would be considered a 'normal' PTT (while on treatment).
