Sounds like jealousy to me. I have the same problem right now. I am a new grad working on a Telemetry unit and most of the nurses are older. They all pick at me because I am 22 years old with a small frame. I am also very shy and quiet. But I wi...

Hello everyone. I just took NCLEX-RN yesterday with 110 questions. I had to take an educated guess on a few questions and I got alot of priority questions. I know that there isn't any way of telling if you passed or failed but someone told me that...

Thank you everybody for your kind words and support. I PASSED!!!!!! I am officially an RN........YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone. I am fairly new and haven't posted in a while. I will graduate in 3 months with my BSN. I really would love to teach Med-Surg. But I have a few questions. Can I instruct clinicals in an ADN program without an MSN degree? Can I t...

Hi. I might be too late but I just saw this post. Potassium is used in rapid situations to push glucose IN the cells. This produces a decrease in SERUM potassium. Thats why kayxelate is used to push glucose into the cells. Hope I helped.

Hello. I will be graduating with my Bachelors in Nursing in May 2006 and I am from NYC. Nurses straight out of school in NYC are starting out right now at $35-45 an hour. Now this is a really good salary right out of school. But my dream is to mo...

NO!!! Never assume or wing anything with nursing. If you do that you will be making a huge mistake. What are you gonna do, waste almost $700 on a chem class just for hunter to say "what the hell is this". You can get the class evaluated at nassau c...

Hi. Dont fret my dear. All you have to do is go to http://www.tipps.cuny.edu. Once you find out what school your gonna go to I must say you need to get your appropriate papers signed fast. Summer classes fill up fast..especially science classes. ...

I am so frustrated and pissed off with my nursing program. The racism has gotten out of control. Also the treatment that they give all students that they have notions about and have targeted makes me sick. I am doing very well in my program and a ...

Definitely Saunders comprehensive review for NCLEX-RN. Perfect book. Need I say more. I have not found any other book as good as this one. Definitely dont get Mosbys NCLEX review. I have that and it sucks and dont waste your money on incredibly ...

Hi. I just wanna make something clear. I dont think I was denied because 3.6 was a bad GPA because it isn't. I think I was denied because their was alot of students in my class who had 4.0's and 3.9's. Their were some really smart kids who busted...

Hi. They view who has the highest scores and GPA. But their is only a limited amount of seats in their nursing program. When I was their they only had 60 seats available. You are in competition with approximately 300 people all fighting for the ...

HI. I am in the same boat as you. I am from NYC but I graduate in may 2006 and I am planning to move to Richmond after graduation. I want to attend VCU because they have a really good CRNA program. It was rated as the #1 CRNA school in the U.S..b...

I dont mean to discourage you or dissapoint you in any way. I advise that you still talk to someone from Hunter. Its just a hassle when you finish pre reqs for 2 years and apply and take a test to get into a nursing program that only has 80 seats a...

I use to go to Hunter college for nursing. I had a 3.6 gpa and I could not get into the nursing program because there waiting list is 2 years long. Of course they will not tell you this because they want your money pouring into there school. That ...

Hello everyone. The nursing program that I am in has just enforced a new rule. All second semester seniors have to take a PRACTICE NCLEX exam that will be given through one of our classes. If students don't pass this PRACTICE NCLEX exam, they cann...

I would say risk for infection r/t surgical incision. If the patient can be discharged the risk for infection is NOT negligible. Remember nursing diagnosis distend out of the hospital care. That person can still get an infection when he/she leaves...

Hello Tammy. I will be entering my senior year this fall and I just thought that I give you some tips and advice. First find out who your professor is for Med-Surg this fall (and other classes if desired) and ask him/her if they would be willing to...

My professor today recommended to use Saunders and I went right to our college store and purchased it. It looks like a good book. I think its way better than Mosbys. I cant wait to use it. Thanks. Mosby has some good things but the majority of it...

No we did not sign anything. But I was not aware of a HESI test and that other nursing programs have done similar or the same thing. I have never heard of schools doing that until now. But I guess I just have to study hard. I was thinking of study...

Hello everyone I just registered with this forum and I love it!!!! I am a second semester Junior Nursing student and I have a question to ask. This is not about me, its about this girl who is in my clinical group. Lets call her "Alice". Alice gets...

Thanks for the advice guys. Clinicals is over now and my clinical instructor passed everyone in our group. We bring up issues that we have as nursing students at our monthly faculty meetings. But it does not help when your nursing program faculty ...

Hello my name is T. I am a second semester junior. I am 21 years old and I am looking forward to my senior year fall 2005.
