Hi! I am a new RN on an Intermediate Care/Telemetry Unit. I passed boards on June 18th and have been on my own for a month. It has been a bit scarey but I have loved every minute of it! Nice to meet everyone.

Hello. My name is Stephanie. I just graduated in May and passed the boards in June. I work on an Intermediate Care Floor/Telemetry unit. I really enjoy it and cannot believe I am actually done with school and passed boards! Working on the unit h...

Signs And Symptoms Of Congestive Heart Failure

The first test is more general, as you go along in the class. The questions will become trickier and more in depth.

Always do the review questions on the CD that comes with your book. Sometimes profs will use questions similar. It really helps a lot--we use them often--esp in med/surg

Unfortunately, there is no right way to study for a critical thinking exam. You just have to know your material backwards, forwards and sideways. Then when you read the question--read each answer carefully and decide which one is most important to ...

We are allowed to see our exams after the grades our posted. We review the material and then our tests are destroyed. While testing we only get one minute per question. Our bags, etc have to be on the floor--no books, etc on the table. ...

On our report sheets we have spaces for different things--are they diabetic, activity--a assist t total p partial. Ambulation assist 1 or 2 people. IV size, gauge, with iv fluids running or sl for saline lock. There is a line for diet ,O2 info, DNR...

Congrats everyone!!! I am so glad for this semester to be over. I got an A in Fundamentals and OB but I got a B+ in Med Surg--only one point away. I was disappointed but at least I did well. In our school a 90-91 is an A-. The lowest grade you c...

This is our first semester for ATI at our school. I don't think it will be too bad, but then again....who knows. We have to take testing at the end of the semester and if we score within the 60th percentile we get 5 bonus points for the class. If ...

:chuckle I have been going to clinicals for a month now. I thought I would be too nervous to do anything but have found that I am very relaxed once I start working with the patients. I didn't know what to expect but I am loving every minute of i...

I am from Vincennes Indiana, attending Vincennes University. This is my first semester in the RN program. :)

I am starting also on August 22nd. I am really excited and scared. They only take 30 people per year so I was lucky enough to get in...Now I just want to be the best I can be. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and my oldest starts Kindergarten ...

i will begin taking nursing classes on august 21st in vincennes indiana. i will be taking organic chemistry and nursing fundamentals. i feel crazy for starting over again--i have a bs in education but i am very excited :)

I'm glad to hear it. I am an older student and very scared that I won't do well. I already have one BS degree in Education so this is the 2nd time around for me. Where did you move to??

I am 31 years old. A mother of a 2 year old daughter and a 5 year old son and my husband is a contractor. I graduated from college in 1996 with a degee in pre-school and elementary education (which I am not teaching--no jobs) and I got accepted int...

I'm just scared in general. I don't want to fail. I don't want to hurt someone. I am supposed to be there to help. I am 31 years old with two children (2 and 5) and a husband. Will everyone think I am a failure for going back to school.

:balloons: :rotfl: I have a B.S. Degree in Early Childhood Education B.S. Degree in Elementary Education Have taken several business classes after teaching for five years but ultimately decided that I want to be a nurse. I begin work...

:chuckle :chuckle ANP 2 was much more interesting than ANP 1 although you have to work twice as hard. Some systems are interesting and some are boring. I am just finishing up with ANP 2. We did not have a lot of lab time, my professor wanted to ...

Congrats!!!!!!!!
