I hopefully will finish up in May. My immediate plans for after graduation are to get my diploma, buy some nice new bedding, eat a crazy big meal, and sleep, and by sleep I mean sleep for as close to 24 hours as humanly possible. After that, I'll f...

Nursing school is it's own unique beast. Having come from a background with a 3.8 in education, a 3.0 MS biology, and a 3.7 in electronics engineering, I'm thankful for each and every day that my nursing school gpa is a 2.7. Nursing school in at le...

discuss how drugs can be used (sans or without) therapy to help in the management of mood disorders. Psychopharmacology is the use of mood stabilizers, benzos, ssri's maoi's etc to help fix a chemical imbalance. How does fixing the electronics, or ...

hate to say it, but if you can't manage to borrow a thermometer for a few moments, your future in health care in the supervisory role may be less than ideal. Take this opportunity to reflect on why you failed in a paid role, and how you could have b...

your work load in the hospital setting is what i'ld be interested to know. in ltc it could be 15+ patients, in a hospital setting it's likely it's less than 10 (although that's just a guess based on the workload of cna's in hospital settings I've en...

i hear kaplan is supposed to be good, either should be fine, from my understanding the NLN exit examinations are in sort of a pilot-beta product phase and shouldn't be used to keep people from graduating.

gate control pain theory might be worth looking at, also for #2 non pharmacologic interventions could be a possibility, no not a makeup set, but coloring, video games, or reading a story could reduce anxiety with a secondary effect of reducing report...

Perhaps, but if the as the primary nurse have taken report on, and a student goes running around putting 16 french foley catheters in the pts nose or goes around making med errors, or whatever neat little trick they come up with it very well could be...

I enjoyed L&D, but there's no way with the 2 weeks of my rotation (out of 14) that I got to stock shelves, and the constant battles for right to provide care with nervous husbands coupled with the ability to sue through the age of 18 of the newbo...

I've heard that if you can handle an A in A&P and micro that you can rely on it as an early indicator of your ability to pass the nursing program with at least a C. I took micro and physiology together and our speech is integrated into other cou...

I remember the start of nursing school. I used to shake so bad everytime I was trying to give a subQ that I would joke it off and tell the pt I'm just making sure that i get the insulin gets mixed up good - not to mention having to use a shelf to re...

the biggest thing about moving "down south" to NC to get a job as a LPN is that the LPN/LVN is not highly sought after in our already oversaturated market. Most hospitals I'm aware of require a minimum of either a ADN RN or BSN RN, and most LPN's en...

just wanting to start a thread related to a certain topic that is lately becoming near and dear to me. My children -- before I entered nursing school were amazing, and they're still amazing and good kids....but the behavioral changes, and r/t outla...

rescinded.

thinking over what may be some tongue and cheek pros and cons of being a male nursing student: advantage: can reach the top shelf of the clean utility. disadvantage: having to reach the top shelf of the clean utility advantage: logical thinking an...

I had the chance to polish toilets for about 6 years after getting my bachelors before deciding to do nursing school. I have to say, polishing toilets is by far easier, but the potential to move up (as opposed to plunge downwards) seemed limited eno...

i've noticed that some of the local hospitals offer "scholarships" annually that provide modest to moderate assistance (typically 500-2000$/year) in exchange for signing non-compete agreements (typically at least 1 year) and agreeing to work at parti...

A better question is are you ready to tackle nursing school after the baby is born for the future it can offer, nursing school will often require many sacrifices and there's no right answer that fits anyone. From a developmental perspective, kids te...

APA is a defective academic standard. Even amongst the experts, the pHD majors, and the journalism majors, there's so much discrepency in how to inline citate. I wish the American Psychological Association would focus on people with mental issues a...

The best part of nursing is observing other nurses. I've seen the best and the worst of health care, and lost friends and family to the worst. It helps me push forward as a patient advocate and always put the patient first -- so that when I do get ...

Our youngest is 18 now (I believe she started at 17 and our oldest student was 58 (no longer in the program) there are around 50 of us left, ages range from 18 to 47, pretty much on a standard bell curve with the average age being somewhere between ...

when i prn cover cna shifts, i get 7.52$/hour with no benefits. I generally pass on the opportunity to do this.

i highly recommend the littmann classic 2 se scope as a student. if you end up in telemetry or on a cardiac floor as a career, a cardio scope isn't a bad investment, but as a student it's (upper to me) mid range, has a pediatric bell/sensitive diaph...
