    Why working as an ED nurse so competitive?

    To be honest I don’t feel it was hard at all. I got my first nursing job at a county hospital in Miami in the ED. They were hiring like crazy. I moved to Houston 5 months ago. I can tell you that my new ED is also hiring like crazy. I have never been...

    I never really had a good study habit foundation and have had to learn how to make it effective for me. This article had some great tips. Thank you so much for this.
  5. Man do I need I need help in Pharm. I am in Pharm 1 now in my nursing program and I am failing by 3 points. We only have 2 test and a final in this Pharm which I think is asinine but hey I'm just a student so what do I know. It's still doable for me ...

    I'm in my second semester at the Davie campus. You don't have a whole bunch of classes on the same day so you don't need to upgrade your book bag. However, if you stay at school to study after class and don't like having to walk back to your car I mi...

    You'll be fine, just put in the work. I wasn't trying to scare you, just help what you're focusing on. Definitely pay attention to anatomy but focus most of your energy on physiology. The anatomy is just like the prerequisites anatomy so if you keep ...

    Haha, I love the reply. I'm only in my first semester at a University in South Florida but my wife who is a nurse believes I would like neuro ICU. First post that came up when I decided to get some info. Congratulations on passing your NCLEX in 75 qu...

    Haha, enjoy your free time now, Gigi, you're hilarious! She's right though, time will not be your friend but it is definitely doable if your willing to work for it. For me so far physio has been a humbling experience. I'm use to getting A's and it is...

    I appreciate the heads up. Pretty sure all of us know that nursing school is not at all easy. We got this far so, so pretty sure we know that its going to take a major amount of studying, and that our social life will take a turn towards disappearing...

    I heard last week that I got put on HOLD ?. I don't know what it was, but it was possibly my overall 66 on the Kaplan. Nothing I can do about it except wait and study for the TEAS. I also have an open house on Oct 31st for Chamberlin. I'll make it wo...

    I got a 66% which is horrible but like I said there wasn't really enough notice to study or it the way one would need to in order to do extremely well on it. I've been out of school working fulltime waiting to get into a program since last May so I c...

    Don't be too worried. The Kaplan was kind of just told to us it was a requirement 3 weeks before the interview. They did say the test was just going to be taken into account, but it wouldn't be the only factor in their decision. If u did well on the...
