I can't believe that i can finally post in one of these! Graduating with my BSN in May! We have midterms next week and its the first time i can say I'm excited about a midterm exam.

I must still have winter vacation brain because I cant seem to work out this simple question. Please help. Question Order: Toradol 15mg IV over 1minute Available: Toradol 30mg/ml in 2ml How many ml's will the nurse administer? I came up with 0.5ml bu...

Thanks for all the help. It ended up being a typo.

That's what we were thinking Bravo. The problem I typed is exactly what it says on the paper.This was just a practice sheet before we take our dosage exam tonight. There's no explanation just the answer given. I'll have to ask if there is a typo. It ...

So we have been told over and over to start our job search early. Professors advised that we start applying the January before graduation. Well that time has come for me and I'm confused as to how to even apply when we haven't graduated. If you try w...

Thanks for your feedback Stephanie. I actually have a job offer when I graduate but its a little far from home and with the nasty winters here I'm afraid to take it. Applying for positions now feels like I'm trying to put my cart before the horse bu...

Just finished my 7th semester my 8th and final semester starts in January! I love this post because it makes me remember what it felt like in past semesters and also makes me excited about the future. Way to go everyone whether its your first or la...

I will be entering my final semester in my BSN program. I write 5 plus APA papers per semester, just in my Nursing classes that's not including my required core classes or humanities. Not sure what the requirements are for an ADN but I'm pretty sure...

Nope we don't know their situation and to be frank I don't care what their situation is. There's this growing trend that people throw this whole "you don't know my situation" bologna in as an excuse. We all have situations, if the situation you are i...

I responded to the ad. If the fool is dumb enough to give info about their school/program i will report it. Why? Because someone like this does not deserve to have the honor of an advanced degree. It lowers the bar and deminishes all that people who ...

Proof that they don't all eat their young! Kudos to the amazing nurse that put that in there.

She doesn't have a degree according to her op she started a program but didn't finish. She could take another semester in her program and attempt to raise her current gpa.

I dont know of any that would take a GPA that low especially an accelerated program. You may want to take some easy courses to raise you GPA then look for a school.

Shakes head.

Right Don1984? This just isnt acceptable!

I had a moment at clinical that made me pretty proud! So yes I'm going to brag a bit here. Yesterday at clinical I had the chance to work with the same patient I did on the previous clinical day. She needed to have her Antegrade Colonic Enema done. ...

That's awesome pookyp! Way to go! We all have something to give regardless of where we are in the program. We are a team and helping each other only increases our bond!

I hear ya aubgurl. Lot's of negatives lately. I'm a hands on kind of gal and I've loved my clinicals even the one site that was less than stellar. There are so many great things that happen everyday and we need to focus on them. Thanks for sharing yo...

I had a bad clinical site in the past so I understand both sides. Just want people to see and acknowledge the positives too.

"I want to become a nurse practitioner because they are more holistic, so in a way nursing is just a stepping stone." Nursing is not the "stepping stone" of nurse practitioner, it is the core foundation of it. You will not be able to just toss away n...

Are there any traveling FNP's on here? My ultimate plan is to travel as a nurse and I'm currently applying to grad school. I was wondering what opportunities are out there for FNP's. I've done a lot of research on traveling RN's but I havent found mu...

I'm from the western NY area and its complete unheard of around here. Once you graduate u can enter a BSN program and get credit but if you choose to transfer before you graduate you get no credit for nursing classes. You may be able to transfer pre-...

People do pass with 265. Keep your head up pass or fail, many people need to take the exam more than once or even more than 3 times.

Thanks for the answer. Sorry about the text talk it slips out once in a while. I will have to order that book. I understand our scope as a nurse but it gets confusing when you see comments like I quoted. I see them frequently on here and other sites....

I guess my comment never showed just my quote. Smh? Oh well what i said was i never knew that LPN's wrote nursing diagnosis. I thought that was considered assessment and fell outside the scope of an LPN. I'm not trying to start the RN vs LPN debate ...
