I had terrific experiences in most of my rotations. The times when it wasn't so good was when the energy of the floor was negative. I found that it was highly dependent on the nurse supervisor's mood.

I graduated May 2014. We were assigned patients and co-RNs. The instructor would talk to the nurses about having a student and what task or meds we would be responsible for regarding the assigned patient. I would do my own head to toe assessment, all...

I am a married mother of 2. I got my ASN last year because I needed to work full time while going to school. I did not find s BSN program that could be done nights and weekends. I was able to get a nursing job and I am working towards my BSN online. ...

Yes, I found out weekends are an additional $1 on top of the $3 diff given for the 3-11pm week shift. 😀

I have a question. I went for an interview for my first nursing job. We did not talk about pay or benefits. We mainly discussed my availability for weekends, what area in the facility I am most interested in working in and what orientation entails. T...

I currently have a full time non nursing job that pays well. At some point I was hoping to leave my current job and do nursing full-time. I currently have a mortgage that I pay myself and cell phone bill, gas etc. my husband pays the utilities, child...

The paper that is filled out states shift diff $3.00 during wk, $1.00 wkends. They have day, evening and night shift available as well as casual/per diem. They stated they have openings due to some nurses leaving to continue education.

Well wishes being sent your way Esme. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

If the vial contains 2 mL there would be 100 mg of medication in the entire vial so you would not give all 2 mL. You would draw up only 1 mL in your syringe and that would give you your 50 mg needed for your dose. If the vial is a 1 mL vial and it co...

Per every 1mL there is 50 mg of medicine. If would all depend on how many mLs in total are listed on the label for that medicine as to how much quantity you have in total.

I'm in my last semester of school. I work 40hrs a week go to school nights and weekends and have children. It is very doable. If you have supportive people around you and you keep up with the studies you will be okay. I recommend getting to bed at a ...

Awesome Esme. Thank you for sharing.

I can't comment if it was 2 or 3 shots back then but your Dr's office should be able to do a blood test. They will check for titers I believe. I had it done last year and I was not immune so I needed to get all three shots.

My Eng comp, psych and math etc was still good from 15yrs ago. Human development and sciences usually age out. You may have to retake all your sciences or do a review course on them.

Yes I didn't realize either until a classmate made me aware. I usually put my phone on airplane mode in settings before I start recording. That way my phone isn't vibrating from a text or call while recording on a desk near the professor.

Are you still starting the program this spring? Are you going to orientation Tuesday?

It was a small hand held recorder the size of a digital but it took the small micro cassettes. I used the cassettes in my pre reqs because I wanted to label them with the different material covered for easy retrieval when studying. Without the worry ...

Click on utilities then voice memo. A big microphone will show up, tap the red button it will start recording that red button will then become your pause button. You can push pause during breaks and then pause again to restart the recording where u h...

Yes I just use the voice memo in the utilities on the iphone. Some of my recordings are over 3 hours long. The only thing I can not do is send the memos in a email because they are too long. I use a apple laptop and I just plug the phone in so the vo...

I actually prefer my iPhone as my recorder. It works awesome. Most students in my class use theirs as well. We had to download software for our nursing school to use during clinicals and because I needed a new phone at the time I got the iPhone so I ...

I used a recorder with micro tapes but the tapes can get costly. A lot of cell phones have voice memo that allow long recording times. I currently use my IPhone to record my nursing lectures. I hook up my phone to my computer and the voice memos save...

I also start the program this fall. I am in the night program. I know a few students currently in the program whom speak very highly about it.

@ frible001 i wanted to give you a big fat congratulations on being accepted into the program. i wish you tons of luck.

That is very beautiful. Congratulations on almost finishing with nursing school and making your Mom very proud. Good luck with all your endeavors and never listen to anyone not even yourself that you can't accomplish your goals or dreams.

Just putting it out there. Have you gone to a chiropractor? I had migraines that mimicked a stroke. Was put on all sorts of medicines topamax being one of them and it did not help. I found out my neck was messed up and that was why I was getting the ...
