Congratulations! It gives me hope for when I graduate at the end of the year :) Good Luck at your new job

Wow that's a high BP in the hospital where I work we are immediately required to notify the nurse. The patient is very lucky that nothing happen to him/her and you are lucky that you only got screamed at by the nurse. Again in most places that woul...

I haven't taken the exit exam but I have found that they help with the specialty exams.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has experience of doing their practicum in the ER? Was there any advice that you have???? I don't want to go in there and feel silly for not knowing anything or not knowing meds that I should (I know there's so much that I...

Hi, I will be starting my practicum in the ER shortly and I'm wondering what medications I should make sure that I know so I can have a small base to start out and not look like a deer in the headlights when asked questions. I also appreciate any inf...

Good Luck! I've been there and personally I picked up on things that I didn't the first time and more things clicked for me.

I had not thought about the psych drugs, I will add it to my list of ones to go over. Thank you everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.

Thank you everyone! I plan to get PALS and ACLS before I start so hopefully that will help me :) I appreciate the feedback and I'm excited!

Hi Everyone! I will be starting the BCC program in January 2013 and I wonder if there is anyone else here who will be too? Are you studying at all before classes start? If anyone wants to chat or anything let me know I'm super excited about the progr...

It would be hard to find a job (if one even exists) that would hire only do the summer months. I would suggest that if that is the only thing you want to do then focus on school and maybe take summer courses if you want something to do. Another optio...

I know it is in a different field but when I had something like this happen to me when I worked in an office I would make sure that someone else would hear the conversation between me and the person who usually liked to cause problems. I.e. if a CNA ...

Hi Kelly_lpn! We are just getting ready to start on the 15th of this month so I don't have any experience with the program yet except for the initial information. According to the information I have received with the program it doesn't take any long...

Hi Everyone! I'm currently enrolled in a nursing program in FL for my ADN and once I graduate (and pass the NCLEX) I'm hoping to move to DC but it says that you have to apply for a license in that state by endorsement which I'm not sure what exactly ...

Thank you so much! It makes more sense now and I will go to the BON website and get in contact with them when the time is necessary. :)

I would try and go online to the hospitals or places that interest you. Some of the hospitals in my area (south FL) will allow you to work as a PCT/CNA after your first semester of nursing school and it can be a way to get your foot in the door. Good...

I used the app AudioNote when I was in A&P and it worked great plus you can use it for notes if you wanted but I didn't use that feature.

I'm sorry I was referring to the local college for my area; Brevard Community College. But that is great info that I didn't think of! Get as much free college coursework as possible!

I would say focus and just go straight for the RN because if you go the route of the LPN then you have to work for at least two years before you can complete the bridge program at BCC.

Yes it can as long as you have enough time to dedicate to studying for each class. I did both courses over the summer and was able to get A's in both. Good Luck!

Congrats on your decision to get into a field that will truly make you happy! My only comment with the LVN to RN bridge is that some programs require you to work in your field as a LVN for a specific amount of time before you can apply to the bridge...

Hello! I was wondering if there is anyone else has been accepted into this program? I would like to meet others in the program before it starts in Jan.

I sent you a request! Welcome to our group!

Congrats on being accepted! If you want to check my page and Facebook we have made a group for us all to chat. :) I haven't purchased any of my books yet, I'm planning to wait until after orientation; which others are you reading?

If you are able to, review the ATI Review Guide for ATI. You can rent it from several websites or others have said that they found it in the library. For me this was the best insight into the test and in my case was almost exactly the same material a...

Keiser offers a 2 yr RN program and then you can bridge into the RN-BSN. I don't know about working full time especially for all the programs that I have researched because they want you to be in class 4-5 days a week, plus clinicals. I know that pe...
