  14. Lisa, Did you take the exam yet? I'd say it is difficult to compare micro to the nursing concepts exams. Please let me know how you did. I am wondering if its worth using the practice exams that...

  16. Ageism in Nursing School..

    Hey, you never know who is going to decide to use you to vent about their own frustrations. I had a handful of experiences in school, but this one was actually funny. There was a guy about my age,...

  23. Need info on CPNE resources....

    Wow, CPNE stress sure is bad! I have a question - it's been my experience that many nursing tasks are not unlike driving a car, skating, etc. Sure, you need lots of information, but it's just as...
  24. medical transcription

    Hi Everybody, I'm not sure if this is an active thread. Is anyone out there pursuing medical transcription?
  25. Greetings Allnurses! Does anyone out there work for a veteran's hospital? How might it differ from a civilian hospital? I know the pay is not so great, but there are good govt. benefits. Please let...
