I bought the "Exam Cram Practice Questions" book on a whim the other day. It looks good, has 1200 practice questions and is easy to carry around. However, it's riddled with errors. By question 50...
Same here; about a week. Not all schools are the same though. I just talked to coworker going through some nightmare where her school is not releasing grades until after completion AND remediation...
It depends. Is making friends in general important to you? It is to me and the friendships I made helped make nursing school far more fulfilling and enjoyable. Some of these people will be in my...
Actually, I would think bank tellers have more stability than nurses these days. No one doubted you could support a family with a nursing degree. People did ask why you want to get a nursing degree...
In my program it was the pace. A LOT of topics and information to cover in a short time. I spent more time studying for M/S than any other class - and I'm glad I

Tablets look cool but I never saw anyone really use them for anything you wouldn't do with a small laptop or netbook. I used a Toshiba NB305 Netbook during nursing school the last two years and it...
Depends on where you are. One of my instructors put it this way. "The hospitals take the BSNs first. Then they move on/don't work out or whatever and then they look at the ADNs." I know a few...
The real "debate" here seems to be people using false analogies. The fact that divers are trained to use compressed gases doesn't have anything to do with the fact that in a medical setting where...
Get a used Dosage Calculations book and start going through it. We used the one by Pickar and it has lots of great practice problems. Good explanations too. We had to do like the first 5 chapters...
Not really a volley, more of a mishit. You could compare water to atmospheric air, but you cannot compare it to 02 delivered from a concentrated source at all. Water (or steam, or ice) is simply...
You will probably have to cut back on the working if you want to do well in all these classes. (Unless you have a job that allows you to study for many hours during work.) If getting Cs in these...
The NCLEX books are about as good as you can get. A lot of people bomb their first HESI tests and get better as time goes on. I am one of those. I was scoring in the 600-800s at first but got over...
I'm in the same boat. I know a few grads from last year who took a job at a SNF and left a couple months later for hospital jobs. If I don't get some nibbles on new grad jobs very soon after passing...
Hello everyone, I am officially a Graduate Nurse! My ASN program ended on a very high note. After tallying up my score, I missed an A this semseter by 0.78 points (out of 671). As I was racking my...
