  8. I am currently in the RN-BSN program

    I just finished stats last month online. I was also very intimidated by the class, especially online. While it was challenging, it was very doable. I also spend about 6-8 hours a week on school items....

    Please, please inform parents of frequent flyers. My daughter was one and I had no idea. I was able to sit down and have a discussion with her, turns out she was having an issue with another child in...

    Rumor has it they have awful benefits and a very rough work environment. Just a rumor of course.
  14. Online stats. Anyone take it this way?

    I also took undergrad stats in the classroom and upper division stats for healthcare providers online. I really struggled with the online class(and I have taken many, many online classes). Highly...

    I don't have an intelligent answer, I don't know. Have never tried the area, sounds too painful!!
  22. 5 things you wish you knew as a new nurse

    If you have a feeling your patient is going bad, ask another nurses opinion, never be afraid to call rapid response. Drug seekers suck. Suck the life out of you. Teamwork is essential, always be...
  23. Clinical rotation

    Always better to ask for help, especially if you are not feeling
  24. How do you stay positive about your career?

    Nursing is nursing, we have to take the good with the not so good. I agree with the previous poster, it doesn't sound like your boyfriend is so supportive of your career choices. Nursing is 24/7, we...
  25. Turning a hospice patient in severe pain?

    You did the right thing. If I were dying, hadn't slept in days, finally comfortable enough to sleep, please, please don't wake
