  2. Anyone else getting cold feet?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NoviceRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My best advice to you (and to myself) is to just take it one day at a time. It is not impossible...look at how many nurses actually finished nursing school and some, well, are probably a miracle that...

  3. Thank you!! :)

    SarasotaRN2b replied to KEL2BanRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. I Need help with Medical Math...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to peridotgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  5. My teacher is giving me bad compliments

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ari3sdog's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How come it is taking you so long to get your results? I know many who have received their results within a couple of

  6. My teacher is giving me bad compliments

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ari3sdog's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, if they are so worried about the pass rate, they need to realize that it is the school that needs revamping. As long as the student is getting a good nursing education, they should be prepared...

  7. I Need help with Medical Math...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to peridotgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Please be aware that not all nursing programs will allow calculators, so it would be definitely in your favor to practice as much as possible without a calculator.

  8. Florida CNA/PCT-Possiblities

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Kellacan's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not sure about a pre-nursing student, but once you attend your first semester, many nursing students can work as a PCA in many of the local hospitals (I live in the Bradenton/Sarasota area). I...

  9. Prioritizing

    SarasotaRN2b replied to snursee2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First, of course, you need to go by the ABC's (airway,breathing and circulation), these would always take priority over others...this you know. If you could give examples (they don't have to be...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to jessica<3RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Why is NS so hard?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mydee's topic in General Students

  12. I'm sorry but I'm EXTREMELY irritated by this!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, while I do agree that this representation on the blog is from a small population, I can understand with the above statement. It can be so scary for patients and something as little as a smile...

  13. Is There An AllDoctors.com?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I've spent some time on SDN and found it quite informative. If there is any controversial remarks it is usually MD vs. DO. Also, keep in mind that the majority are college students 18-22 (pre-med)...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Kennyboy117's topic in General Nursing

  17. A classmate is going to QUIT! Please help...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Students

    Instead of thinking of it as 21 days, which if you are having some major stressors can be hard...just take One (1) day at a time, and then before you know it...you are done. Of course, it will...

  19. Idea for any managers out there

    SarasotaRN2b replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    SarasotaRN2b replied to macaroon's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey, you have to go where you are happy and if it has always been your goal to go into OB, then that is where you should go. Yes, med surg may offer some benefits, but it is up to you and no one...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Unwavering_Faith's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Great attitude! As Joyce Meyer says your attitude sets your aptitude so I feel more than certain that you will pass the next time. A suggestion is if you can find out how you did on the NCLEX. It...

  23. Night shift question!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to jla623's topic in General Nursing

    I think the department that offers the most variety in hours, including 11-11 would be the Emergency Department. It really all depends on the

    SarasotaRN2b replied to CarVsTree's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Tweety, this is definitely one of my pet peeves as a unit secretary. Another is when we are beeped that we will get a patient maybe midway during the shift...they don't call report until shift...
