Lucidity

I am doing well in school - I have gotten a 4.0 in the last two semesters. I loved learning pathophysiology and pharmacology and the skills. But as I go through the program, each continuing semester involves having more clinical time and less class t...

I'm attending a health screening soon for a new job and it asks on my pre-screening forms if i have a hx of depression, which i do, as well as an eating disorder. this was treated back in 2008 and i don't take meds/ receive therapy anymore. i haven't...

Hi everyone, quick question... I have a history of bulimia/ depression. I was diagnosed at 17, treated for 6 months with therapy/ antidepressants, and haven't had issues since. According to my medical records online however, it says my dx is "active...

thank you very much for your quick reply and suggestion. i agree. it hasn't been an issue in years, and i'd hate to risk losing my dream job over a psych problem i had in high school

i am also curious to learn more about Inova's cc program! jstage, did you apply to it?

I was just wondering if the questions are the same when you retake the exam. The staff in the school of nursing office, as well as advisers, state, "It is our understanding that you will take the same exact test, because you will log back into the sa...

I read numerous posts on allnurses about how difficult nursing school is. People are thrilled when they get high Cs or low Bs, and state that averages for some of their tests are around 70% or lower sometimes - they are just happy that they are not f...

Is it possible for a new grad to get their first job in the ER? I heard it is possible in some areas for them to start in a low level area, but is that true? Otherwise, if I want to become an ER nurse, what experience do I need?

I am trying to understand how to utilize ISBAR with different scenarios. this is my first assignment related to this tool. i'm a bit confused and need help The first scenario involves a patient who is 80yrs old, who lives alone but has family nearb...

thanks that definitely helps!! :)

"What do you hate about clinicals? Clinical will be like when you get a job in the hospital except you are on your own as far as how you do things and in what sequence." It sounds bad but I don't like dealing with the patients. I'm scared of working ...

I'm in my very first semester of nursing school and this is something me and my classmates have been talking about a lot lately. We are in a program for a bachelors degree, in a pretty populated area in Minnesota. Some people say nurses make a lot of...

I am just curious how the nurses on here feel about it. What is your vote? Do you think obamacare will be good or bad for our country? How will it affect nurses?

I just had my first test. There was a question on it that my classmates and I are debating about. It asked which medication administration error would least likely result in being fatal or something like that. Options were: right route, right documen...

documentation was the correct answer

I just started the nursing program and my professors already hate me because I keep falling asleep during class. Classes are from 8 - 11 every day, with a couple five minute breaks. It's really not that bad but I can't seem to stay awake during class...

Before you started school, what did you expect the nursing career to be like? Did your idea change once you were in nursing school? When you became an RN, were your expectations met? Were you surprised? Disappointed? Is it harder than you thought? Mo...

it will be pretty intense but if its your only class it should be fine. i did a combined A&P class and did well. be sure to study every night if you can! if it starts getting too difficult, get a tutor :) they're amazing.

I'm asking because I was just accepted into nursing school and I start in the fall. It will be for a BSN. I'm nervous because I have been reading numerous posts about how tough it has been for new grads to find nursing jobs. Every now and then there ...

it was the exact same test for me. i know because i checked out my remediation, and memorized all the questions i got wrong, and all the same ones showed up when i re-took the test. the questions were just in different order. it has been different fo...

i took hesi twice. first time i scored an 88, second time a 98. i had to take math, reading, grammar, chemistry, anatomy&physiology, and vocab. i went through the hesi A2 book so many times that i had almost all of the questions & answers me...

i start a BSN program this fall too!! ahhhh so excited!!

you have to call your school and ask which score they will consider. my school counted the most recent, not the highest. i got an 88 my first time and a 98 my second, so i definitely think its worth the retake, especially because now you know what th...

I was just accepted into the nursing program! (BSN) I start in the fall. I'm nervous about nursing school, but I'm more nervous about finding a job once I graduate. I've read countless posts about how new grads struggle to find jobs. I want to know...

I start nursing school in the fall and I heard that having an NCLEX RN study guide helps. My school is especially known for having all their tests in NCLEX format and many students fail the first several tests because the questions are so difficult. ...
