Since you seem to like both fields why don't you look into flight nursing or even transport nursing.

It can take a long time to find a job. It took me 7 months just to get my foot in the door to the hospital that I really wanted to work at and my first job was not a RN position. I took a periderm job doing clinical research then waited out my time a...

Another tip for nights is find out when/if your computer systems have reboot or down time and be prepared for it. You do not want to be in the middle of charting and have your computer shut down on you. We usually get emails the week before on any le...

I'm sorry my reply is late. Have been working past few night. As for your question of what is a research nurse is they run clinical trials. Some are drug trials some are diagnostic test trials, etc. They are run by drug companies through a hospital o...

You might want to look into research nursing.

Most hospitals in NJ are looking for the BSN but that is not to say they won't hire an ADN nurse. I graduated December 2012 with my diploma. I knew I wanted to work at a specific hospital so I took a job that was kind of non nursing and did that for ...

Two words that make me cringe every time I hear them:NURSING SHORTAGE!

Go online or call the schools your are interested in and see if you can make an appointment to speak with someone. A lot of times these schools offer open houses where you can get information about when and how to apply. Also apply to several schools...

Unfortunately the busy work will not get better but you will be able to get through it quicker. I'll never forget my first semester our school was closed due to a snow storm (we got like 3 feet of it) and instead of going to class they did 6 1/2 hour...

I've been following this post since it started a few days ago and like some people have said NCLEX tests the MINIMUM knowledge needed to be licensed and work as a RN. The test is supposed to protect the public from nurses that can not even grasp the ...

Like the above posters said you might not have a choice in the matter. Hospitals do not close shop at 5:00 on Friday evenings like other places. While I was in nursing school we even had to do evening and weekend shifts for clinical. We were not give...

I would talk to your HS guidance counselor. They are usually the ones that can point you in the right direction. If that doesn't work go online and look up schools in your area that offer nursing programs. A lot of times they offer open houses throug...

Hey nina_82. If you are looking for an accelerated BSN program both Rutgers and UMDNJ have them but if your original BA is a non sciences degree you will still have to take your science pre reqs. I would look to your local CC and start there. If you ...

http://www.alysion.org/dimensional/analysis.htm is a great site to become familiar with nursing math. To answer your question though, yes we use math on a daily basis.

Here is the curriculum for Drexel's RN-BSN program. I just applied there. I'm hoping to start next year. http://www.drexel.com/uploadedFiles/online-degrees/nursing-degrees/rn-bsn/Unofficial%20Review%20Worksheet%205%2017%202010.pdf

Would I do it all over again? Absolutely! Just wish I would have done it sooner. I would love to go back and slap my 18 year old self silly! I do have to say I had a much better appreciation for my education this time around.

I did the live hurst review and then took my nclex the next day. Passed 1st time with 75 questions. I loved the content review. Most of my class was there and so far everyone who did attend has also passed.

I agree that some of the questions were extremely similar to the practice Q's.

I had to take the ATI comp test at the end of my last semester. It really wasn't bad at all. I would just keep doing your ATI practice questions. I think the 98% that you are referring to is not the actual score but the odds of you passing the NCLEX ...

What was I thinking when I became a nurse?!That you looked good in scrubs? Haha sorry I could not resist. I'm sorry that you had a bad night. Get some sleep and I hope you feel better.

I know you are feeling overwhelmed right now and it seems like A LOT of work packed in to a very short amount of time. What I would suggest you do is first stop and take a deep breath and tell yourself that you can do this. You also have to realize t...

We had to purchase nursing central and an iPod touch for nursing school. It's a 2 year subscription and yes, it is expensive but I loved it and it made looking up all of my meds a dream. One of the best features is that you can keep a searchable file...
