sensoryoverload

Good to hear about your percentages on Kaplan, i'm about where you are and it was making me nervous! Congrats and thanks for sharing!! :)

Congrats!!! You will be happy you got all those other classes out of the way so you can just focus on nursing classes!

I had to make the decision to re-take a whole semester or change careers and I'm glad I stuck with nursing! I had professors tell me to rethink my career choice, and it's very obvious at my school that to a point they only care about nclex pass rates (since it's been 100% for awhile). I went through a lot of emotions, but stuck with it. I'm glad I did b/c now I will graduate in December!!! So if you really really want to be a nurse, stick with it!

My care plan is due tomorrow but i just thought I would post a question and see what happens. My patient is a 2 year old who came into the ER with fever and rash. A Dx was not made on my clinical day, but I am doing my care plan on Group A Streptococcus infection. For nursing Dx I have Impaired skin integrity r/t rash..., Hyperthermia r/t infection process..., and can't quite think of another. Anxiety could work, but i was just trying to think if there was a more important one. Also, do you think Hyperthermia is okay if he came in with a fever, but remained afebrile the day i took care of him??? Thanks ahead!

So, I'm a senior nursing student and i'm suppose to graduate in December. I don't even know where to start when talking about my nursing school experience. Basically, I have good grades, but have not had the best time with clinical I enjoy everything I do in clinical and really do want to be a nurse, but my clinical experiences have made the professors concerned about me and they have become discouraging even though they have say repeatedly they want to help me succeed. Long story short, I've had problems with time management, being "slow" at procedures or calculations, needle safety (to scoop and not recap) it been a bunch of little issues that have added up. This is almost irrelevant to my questions but basically my professors have discouraged me a lot but I really want to graduate. My question is if I graduate ...when I graduate... what area of nursing would be a good place for a slower learner to start in?? I really think I would be okay with picking a specialty and becoming really good at what I do over and over again. Is there a specialty that new grads can go into right after graduation??
