Does anyone have a peds assessment form or flowsheet? We start peds clinicals this weekend and although I have a plethora of information, I am having trouble putting it all together in one form. Thank you in advance!

Thanks Daytonite - I spent a lot of time looking through those assessments others have posted and could not find exactly what I was looking for, i.e., a peds assessment. Maybe there isn't such a thing?? Thanks for the reply, anyway! Kathy

I am 61 and I will graduate in 2009. I have never been happier and am fulfilling a lifelong dream! You go, girl!!

What if you have a degree other than a BSN - I have a BA. Will that help this ADN student get a job?

I just finished OB and had the most miserable instructor ever. She actually was upset because everyone in our evening program passed the course! Where do schools GET these people?

Those are great! Thanks so much for sharing them.

Thank you so much for your willingness to share this great resource!

Hey, I am 60 and in my second semester of NS and having the time of my life! You will love the experience! Best of luck to you.

Hang in there! I am in my second semester of nursing school and I am 60! I am having the best time of my life. The younger students constantly teach me and sometimes I have a life experience I can share with them. Also, my grades are at the top of th...

My husband (who usually is wonderful) acted the same way when I got my acceptance to nursing school in June. He muttered something like "that's good" and said nothing else. I was so angry that after I yelled bloody murder at him, I didn't speak to hi...

Nice goin' Lo! I just got my grades and received an A and a B in Fundamentals and Pharmacology respectively. And, I am age 60! So, I don't want to hear anyone moaning about being too old to do this! (I'll be older than Flo Nightingale when I finish, ...

"The difficult we do right away. The impossible takes a little longer."

I am a first-year nursing student and making straight A's in Pharmacology and Fundamentals. However, during a math test we had this week I froze solid as soon as I sat down to the test. It was terrible! I couldn't think and my heart was pounding so ...

Hang in there! I am a first-year student too, older than you are! I learned in the prereqs that an older brain works just as well as a younger one. True, it takes me a little longer to understand some things than it used to, but if you just keep goin...

Thank you, thank you - those are a great help to us "beginners"!

Good luck to everyone - keep studying and we'll all get through!

I got a 91 on my first test last night. I wanted to start out with a good grade before we have any math tests (ugh - there goes my average)!

We start clinicals September 23 and I certainly hope I get nurses like you for my clinical experience! Thanks for being the way you are!

I have a B.A. in English and am just beginning my ADN program. I wonder if a B.A. will be a complement to an RN?

Hi everyone. I am starting an ADN program at Alamance Community College in Burlington, N.C. I graduated years ago from Pfeiffer University with a B.A. in English, but always wanted to be a nurse. I am so excited and terrified!

I just received my Dell Axim 416. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it - this is the first PDA I've ever owned. By the way, this model does not come with a cradle - I had to order that separately...

I got mine from the Samsonite outlet. It was a good price and lhas lots of room, plus a one-year warranty. I figure it will get a lot of use so I spent a little more on it.

Oh boy, do I know how you feel! I am starting my ADN program in two weeks and my insides feel like I swallowed something big and squirmy! I have a BA but was never this nervous in college. I am trying to look at this as a great adventure and somethin...

I found a whole group of powerpoint slides relating to pharmacology and pharmakinetics. Here is the site: http://connection.lww.com/Products/karch3e/PPT.asp Hope this helps!

I start August 15th. We had orientation at the end of June. Very exciting and very scary!:chair:
