If it weren't for unions there would be no weekends, paid time off, the 8 hour work day, etc. Not to mention fair wages. But hey, who needs'em.

Nursing is not medicine, because it is nursing. :)

Hi again everyone, I just wanted to ask for some prayers or good thoughts for this upcoming Fall semester as I am going to have a pretty challenging course load and I am worried my GPA will suffer, which would not be ideal in my current situation. I...

Thank you, it means a lot!

I totally understand.. It usually gets under my skin when someone points out how quiet I am being, and everyone's attention immediately goes to me, waiting for me to explain myself. But now I just shake it off and ignore them even more. Lol.

I can't even begin to explain how many times I have had to say this to people! It is extremely annoying when you're treated as if something is wrong with you because you're not speaking your every waking thought out loud.

Have not read all of the previous posts so I apologize in advance if someone else already pointed this out. There is a huge difference in being introverted and being shy. Someone can of course be both simultaneously, but not all introverts are shy an...

First of all, report this abuse without a doubt - second of all, since when does an aide have any say whatsoever in how another aide performs/works? You learn day one in CNA class who to report to and listen to and it is never another aide. We are ob...

Thanks everyone! I figure it's never too early to start getting as ready as you can.

A community college near me offers a short "preparation" course prior to starting their nursing program. I looked up the required text and supplies on the college's bookstore for the class and among them were these: 1.)http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w...

@Lori, I think I will buy an older edition, cheaper review book to mess around with until I find out which one I will need when I start my program! Can't hurt, anyway - to at least practice with the format and get a sneak peek of the content as well....

From what I've heard from other students and seen here on AN, I think it would be a good idea to go ahead and buy an NCLEX book! Saunder's comp. review is one of the recommended texts in the syllabus for the first Fundamentals class at the beginning ...

(This may be long) Hello everyone..Let me begin by saying I have browsed this website nearly every day ever since I found it about 2 years ago while I was a senior in high school. As of now I am working extremely hard in my second year of college to ...

Exactly, I really do not want to add to the course load! At the rate I'm going I will have Micro finished in the summer before the fall NSG classes begin. I have to talk to my advisor first about this because she says Micro may be required to be take...

Wow! I had never thought about the letter of recommendation and cover letter before. That sounds like a great idea. And if I'm not accepted I do plan to take the remaining 2 co-reqs before applying the next year. The only problem with taking classes ...

This Fall I have A&P I, Applied Mathematics, and then Intro to Psychology which I am retaking to bring my C up to an A to improve my GPA (every little bit helps haha). After this Fall my pre-reqs are finished but I am enrolling in A&P II in t...

@acedit, I'm so excited for you! Good luck! @illusion, I agree. Even though there will be a lot of people who will give us a hard time we just have to be fearless and persevere through it! @mandy, I'm glad you got everything straightened out, I know ...

Thank you for your kind words! And yes it was very difficult for me to shake off her words. She was a nurse for over 20 years and I naturally looked up to her. I wish you the best in your endeavors!
