I'm a natural born night-owl, but I had trouble adjusting to nights at first, too. Blondy2061h and Aliakey had excellent points/tips to try. I have tin foil over the mini-blinds in my bedroom (over...
I took a job as a nursing assistant while in nursing school and while I was eligible for a nurse extern position. The NA position was at the hospital, in the unit, I wanted to work at after I...
I'm in KY and here, the BSNs & the ADNs make basically the same. The BSN's might make $0.50/hr more, if that much. They don't have any advanced standing, either. KY is changing their...
Our lectures and our exams are two totally different things. If I only studied what they covered in class (only about 10-20% of the lecture material ends up on our exams) I'd be out on my head, LOL!...
I have the same exact problem. I study for hours pretty much daily and then I barely pass the test. I have Psych nursing this semester along with my second semester MedSurg course. I got a 98, 94 and...

I don't think it would hurt anything to send your interviewer a "Thank you for your time" letter, but I wouldn't add anything that you may have forgotten to say during the interview. I think it would...
I guess when I say, "They're only doing it for the money" I don't mean that they're doing it because they have a family to support or anything like that. I think that's noble, too. The ones I'm...
:) You're right. I don't necessarily HATE them as much as I wish they'd develop a new life plan and change majors, LOL! Although, the tutu bunch I could label as "strongly dislike" now
JustMe, thanks! I appreciate that. It helps to know I'm not the only one who sees a problem with this kind of attitude in this profession. I really do appreciate
We get our rationales at the end of the exam, so they would just say we wrote down the answers then. I do have one instructor on tape saying she knows there is a problem and then basically says,...
