    Don't pay the other person on here any attention. You will not be a know-it-all. I wish I would have learned a thing or two about nursing before entering the
  8. Nursing Student with Fear of Fainting.

    Buy a pocket drug guide for clinicals. The Lippincott's Drug Guide is a great one. It's so much easier to have a pocket version during clinicals and they are not that
  10. ati app?

    I just checked, and I paid $19.99 on iTUNES. It is really worth it! There is a free version but it is not very helpful. There are other NCLEX tutorials out there, but the ATI RN Mentor - NCLEX Exam...

  17. One more week before I sign over my life!

    I feel like I am going into boot camp for nurses... We start on Tuesday. I am looking forward to it, but I am still incredibly nervous. I just worry that it may be as bad as many people say. Good...
  18. ADN.

    In my area, the ADN program is actually a better choice than the BSN. The ADN program here seems to have a much better pass rate on the NCLEX that the BSN program. I will have no choice but to get...
  19. Why do you?

    There is nothing better than being able to see a patient smile as a direct result of your care. Most of the patients I deal with are in pain and not excited about the opportunity to spend time in the...
