I start nursing school in a few weeks. I have never stuck someone with a needle, but I've been stuck with a needle plenty of times over the years. I do not enjoy it (who does?), but I wanted to give myself a bit more exposure to the whole process, ...
We have two choices for ADN nursing here (community college and a vocational college), and they both offer part time/hybrid programs. So, instead of the typical 4-5 full time days a week, these programs offer classes online/evenings/2 or so days a w...
I find that I am able to balance some of the books onto the treadmill or eliptical. All that sitting makes my back and shoulders just knot up, so I try to read while I'm moving something! I am trying to lose weight and don't want to have to buy new...

We are required to complete our NAC training and be on the state registry here in WA state. I start my ADN program in 3 weeks, so I don't know if they don't spend as much time on them. But, at our orientation last month, the instructor did say to br...
I start on Sept. 27...seems so late compared to most of you! Will still graduate in the Spring of 2014 though...seems so far away, but I know these two years will no drag!

I personally enjoyed taking one science at a time...I found each one of them built onto the next. It seemed to flow better for me and helped with my understanding it all. Started with Bio, then A&P, Chemistry, and finally Micro. You may have ...
Which schools in WA are you looking at? I am in NW WA and will be starting the ADN program at Whatcom Community College next month. There are two other ADN programs, Bellingham Technical College and Skagit Community College, and one local BSN, UW B...
This is something that has crossed my mind as well. The best time (for me) has always been in the morning. I've enjoyed doing bodyrock.com as it's usually only 12 minutes...keep on telling myself that I can find 12 minutes. Otherwise, I am hoping ...
Mine is next Thursday. I was wondering if anyone did their drug test on-site there. I have completed the medical requirements (titers, physical, TB test, etc.) but haven't done the drug test. On the "congratulations" letter, it states the more inf...
My dream nursing career would be a labor and delivery nurse. I am done having kids, but I still am drawn to it. Have always felt drawn towards something to do with pregnancy and just about everything that goes along with it.
I wondered about this as well. Got my first shot this week, second one is at least 30 days after the first, third one is at least 4 months after the first. My letter states that I cannot do clinicals until the third shot it complete....that would p...
Nursing school doesn't start until Sept. 27, so I have three months. July is busy with vacation and camping with family. August will be filled with swimming lessons for my kids and getting them ready for school. September I am hoping to cook and f...
For me, it's the unknown that is making me anxious. There are so many unknowns before nursing school starts...even before my orientation next month. Unknowns about the schedule, books, uniform, classes, to name a few. I am expecting that it will t...
