Hello all! I'm looking to move on from my Med-Surg job and need some advice on my resume. Here's what I have so far: Work Experience (Hospital Name) October 2016 - Present Provided Nursing care for adult and geriatric p...

Hello all! So, I've been working as a nurse for almost a year on night shift now. I started my job in September 2016. I work on a medicine floor the 7p-7a shift. Nights have been hard for me (sleep schedule wise, diet, emotional and physical health, ...

I've actually done a few day shifts on my floor when staffing allowed me to. The day shifts I worked weren't overly hectic in my eyes and I was able to handle it all. I also oriented for 6 weeks on the day shift before I went to nights off of orienta...

I'm a new grad who just started working nights (7-7) and I am not adjusting well at all. I feel sick all the time. I can't eat. I feel shaky all the time. No matter how much I sleep, I feel exhausted. I keep crying over the smallest things. I'm physi...

Today, I got the e-mail I've been waiting all of nursing school to get: My Capstone placement. I was so excited to see where I was placed. That excitement turned to pure hysteria when I saw I was placed at a hospital that I was not expecting. My sch...

Hello all! Well, it's crunch time for me. Got my ATT yesterday and scheduled my NCLEX for July 19th (the next nearest day available, sadly). There are so many resources available and it all seems overwhelming. Any tips on what to do or what to use t...

Thank you all for your comments. This is my first nursing job. I am a new grad. For sleeping, I have blackout curtains and an eye mask that I use to sleep. When I wake up, I feel all thrown off. I don't feel hungry, but I force myself to eat what I ...

I've been licensed since July 2016 and have applied to almost 100 positions since the day I found out I passed. I've been on interview after interview and everyone has said no. Almost everyone I graduated with in my program has been hired right off t...

Adelphi does, yes. I believe Molloy College does as well!

The main thing about UWorld is to read the rationales for every question and not worry about the percentages too much. My overall percentage of correct answers on UWorld was 55%. I felt reading the rationales for questions I got wrong and for the one...

For my lab, the week before we were going to cover respiratory, my lab instructor told us to wear a tank-top underneath our scrubs because we would remove our scrub tops to listen to lung sounds. There were only 6 of us in the lab (7 if you count the...

I understand that it is difficult to place students in hospitals. And I'm sorry if my post seems like I'm complaining. I'm very happy to be in my final semester of nursing school after this long and treacherous journey. I'm just frustrated that my sc...

I was in your shoes just last year. All throughout my pre-req classes I was so excited to get started. However, I felt different once I started. I remember two weeks into the semester I wanted to quit because I was nervous about failing and whether I...

I know how you feel. Those nursing textbooks are sooo expensive! I went through the same thing last year and funny thing was that I hardly even needed to open the books! I maybe opened them 4-5 times just to get clarification on a topic, but other th...

Nursing school is very time consuming of course. With all the schoolwork, studying, clinicals, and (if you work) on top of it, it can take a big chunk of your life away that you would normally spend relaxing or with friends and family. However, I've ...

And I'm excited, but I'm nervous and worried. I joined this website when I was just in high school, looking for advice as I began my journey to Nursing school. Now that it's finally here, I am worried. Seeing how big these textbooks are, I wonder if ...

Thanks for answering everyone! One thing I also wonder if the "myth" that when you're in nursing school, you have no social life is true? I mean, I don't go out every weekend, but I like to have a night where I can relax and do my own thing, sometime...

I got a 3.7 this semester. It was my lowest so far, but I'm not giving up! My semester starts 1/23 and I'm taking: Microbiology (w/lab) Pathophisiology Nutrition for Nursing Informatics American History Communications Let's all get those 4.0s!

I took Statistics last year and did very well. I took it with 4 other classes and was able to balance it all. I think what helped me was that my professor was pretty easy going and explained things very well. It's not a very difficult subject to unde...

Congrats! I remember taking Stats last semester and was so nervous, because math hasn't always been my greatest subject. I passed with flying colors thanks to having a great professor! Best of luck in the rest of your classes :)

Sounds great! I'll be taking: CHE109 - Physiological Chemistry (with lab&rec) BIO210 - Emerging Genetics PSY114 - Developmental Psychology COM103 - History of Media and Communication Best of luck this semester to everyone!

Congrats! I just started the second semester of my freshman year. I'm still taking pre-reqs. I would say really study hard for the classes required for the nursing major, such as A&P, micro, etc., as well as your other classes. Study a little bit...

I'll be starting my pre-reqs in the Fall in order to start the BSN program. I was wondering what Nursing school is really like? Is it as hard as people say it is going to be? I've heard that it's a lot of reading and studying. I'm just worried I won'...

Thank you for your response! I finished A&P I and did well! I'm starting A&P II this week and I am very excited. The material looks very interesting and I can't wait to start! I know nursing school is going to be a challenge, but I'm preparin...

Thank you everyone for your comments. This website has been so insightful and appreciate every response that was posted! I know that nursing school will be hard and I am prepared for the challenges I will face. I can't wait to be able to be a part o...
