The NCLEX is the hurdle we all feared as we progressed through nursing school. I have empirical knowledge about the 'absolute fact' regarding the Pearson Vue Trick... 1) Purchase Hurst Review (Live) 2) Take the Hurst Review 3) Study your Hurst Revi...

Always a horse race, ADN v BSN... I have a very impressive academic pedigree; however, I was called to care sometime after earning my BS and MS in the 'hard sciences'. Certainly the hierarchy in nursing positions and salaries follow higher academic...

Nursing school can at times be amazingly difficult and will take the wind out of your (nursing) sail. Regardless of your motivations I'm not putting forth an effort to encourage you to remain in nursing. If its for the money, the money is nice, but...

Apparently one of us doesn't understand how the world works. It might be me, or it could be you. You will be 22? when you finish/get into the nursing program. I, to you, am ancient. I earned a degree in the hard sciences, worked in a career positio...

These are very sensitive topics and the media (liberal and conservative) has entirely missed the point. The finding of the court is based on the U.S. Constitution -the rule of law- not of individuals. Everyone of us has closely held beliefs, those b...

Hi Zibi: Two successive deep breaths with 20 second exhales to begin. Have a quick look at the periodic table, understand the electronegativity trend - its a vector from bottom left up to the top right. Another good place to invest your time is on...

Hi Ladybug: Do not despair, the Adkins Academy helped me to score in the 99th percentile on the TEAS science section - you can too! I am impressed with the Adkins Academy, and I highly recommend to everyone that they prepare for their TEAS exam with ...

Greetings: I need your help. Looking for timepieces- particularly wristwatches and would value your opinion. I like you have on often needed to note the time. There are a myriad of reasons for this and an equally large number of ways to meet the need...

Please, Let me rephrase the question. Do you wear a watch while working? I recently read a watch review that suggested watches by profession. The watch recommended for nursing looked as if it requires a scribe that was versed in technology just so...

I've heard different opinions on the ability of some RN's to get along with other nursing professionals. Stress is a part of everyday life, no doubt there's plenty in medicine. Every one of us has a preference (or bias) about who we would prefer to ...

A very key point in answer to your question is wording in the following phrase on the job announcement: [h=3]POSITION INFORMATION: Full Time - Excepted Service Permanent[/h] From what I can tell Excepted Service means they (...

I am nearing a place in life where I will transition to become a registered nurse. My academic background, and (nearly completed) career is in the earth sciences, specifically hydrology. Its been fascinating and technical but is entirely lacking fo...

Unsure of the type of housing that most interests you. Proximity is more important to some and security moreso for others. Many (a majority) of the properties in San Antonio, including UTHSCSA, are gated and I can take a hint. Traffic in and around...

Sitting in the airport (SAT). Had registered for Mar. 1 info session, received my meeting canceled notice the day after buying plane tkt. Non-refundable of course, so off to SA anyway to learn about neighborhoods and travel times. Have a look at ...

Hey brother, First and foremost THANK YOU for your service! Life can be difficult and learning to navigate the difficult portions can take experience(s), some of which are uncomfortable. I can understand the point in your original complaint. Reg...

That is a terrific goal (Straight A's) which is entirely do-able. There will be sacrifice involved however. Not in a bad way, but in giving up some of the things you may now enjoy daily. I earned straight A's through all pre-requisites - you can to...

A question for the ages... Sorry, I am very interested in the subject of the average age of Nursing students. I will be the outlier in the average age of nursing students. Looking at age 56 on entry to nursing school. I earned a degree in Hydrol...
