So happy to read your encouraging words. I am going back for my Master's in Nursing Informatics and am very excited. I, too, went thru the whole withdrawal stage. Literally was in tears my last day on the floor. Due to health issues, I was requir...

I share your interest and our backgrounds are extremely similar. I have been working in an office position for the last four years trying to figure out where to go next. My heart was set on being a nurse practioner. However, the RA God's have bl...

Well, I am still waiting to contact Grand Canyon. Had to work all last week, so was unable to. Decisions, decisions. Aspen didn't have a FEW masters track, so I would have to get my DNP. Not opposed was just hoping to wait a bit for that. Still ...

I am currently looking into RN to MSN online programs with a Family Nurse Practioner focus. I have spoken to advisors at both Chamberlain and Aspen. Still haven't spoken to Grand Canyon, as of yet. These three programs seem to be at the top of my ...

I am just looking for points of view as I have an interview for an OR position coming next week. I have been a nurse for 5 years and have worked in critical care and currently am working on a Med/Surg floor. I am wondering if there are any nurses her...

My interview went very well. The manager called today and we are going to proceed with the next step. Again, thank you all for the wonderful advice. I am nervous, but excited for this possibility.

thank you so much for all your input. It has been so helpful. I think that my interview tomorrow will be such a great experience. I am actually more excited then nervous. Go figure.

I agree with everything. I love being a nurse, and am very blessed to have the job I have. However there are many nurses looking for work. My suggestion is for you to really think about it. If nursing is whre your heart truly is, then go for it. ...

Oh my god, I passed. I don't know how but I did it. Thank you all for your wonderful support. I am truly blessed to have you all to be surround by. God Bless!!!!

Thank you all so much. I am so happy. I sat here and cried for about 15 minutes after I read pass...because I was so happy. I have wanted to be a nurse my whole life. I can finally say that I am...WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!! :smiley_aa :cheers: :yelclap:

Well, at 9am this morning, I sat down and took the hardest test I have ever taken in my life. I left the testing center on the third floor and by the time I hit the first floor, I was crying like a baby. A girlfriend of mine, kept saying it was so ea...

Okay, so here is my plan. I sell Avon, so I am going to drowned myself in that and in housework this weekend. I also have a job interview on Monday at the local nursing home, so I can focus on that. Plus, my RN courses start this week. So I am ju...

My test was the same way (took it yesterday morning as well). The more questions I answered the more difficult it seemed to get. I did have a ton of prioritizing, pharm (drugs I had never even heard of), no math, a lot of check all that apply, and a ...

My girlfriend had taken her tesyt the week before I did. I am sorry, should have clarified that.

I always remember..."clear to cloudy skies".

Forgot one... When your daily to-do list looks something like a careplan.

...when simple words like serosanguineous are easier to spell then your child's own name. ...when you know the medical diagnosis on every TV show before the doctor figures it out.

Okay, how about when a family member asks you a question. You explain the procedure or process or whatever to them...and their mouths hit the floor, silence fills the room, then follows the , "Oh my gosh! You are so smart now!!" So, you're telling...

This is exactly what I do. I get home and it is quiet, so I spend that time to do the housework. It really helps me to burn stress, and I don't get distracted by the sink full of dishes and the pile of laundry waiting to be done. Then I lock mysel...

My house is clean most of the time. My hubby helps quite a bit. There isn't much he doesn't do and the kids are old enough to do minor tasks. I worked and went to school full-time up until this past semester and my house was really bad then. Now ...

I need to quit, so bad. I have been so sick and I don't want to be a nurse who says one thing and does another. I see it all the time where I work. I start the program in the fall. Has anyone quit smoking while in nursing school? How did you do ...

Don't feel bad. I have three weeks left of LTC. It isn't that I don't like my patients. In fact, I love them to death. I just would like more variety I think. I don't know, we'll see. Can't wait to start something new.

$150...Holy Cow!!!! That is a lot. I think going out to lunch, giving a card, and maybe a small pratical gift is very appropriate. Maybe you could get her one of those really nice day planners and by next years refills. I noticed a lot of stores ...
