So for 4 years I have been wanting to become a NICU nurse. My reasoning for wanting to be this type of nurse is because I don't have to work with dirty older patients, I feel like I would be able to get to know my patients family (so it's more person...

Test Question Confusion Mother had negative RH factor, father has a positive RH factor, their fetus has a positive RH factor. Mother is sensitized and produces RH antibodies. Next pregnancy her baby dies due to these antibodies. My QUESTION: I took ...

I emailed the dean of the program, and I spoke to many advisers. I was well known with my science professors as well. Your GPA for nursing should be at least a 3.5 in my opinion in prerequisites. A good Teas-V helps too. Upper 70's and 80's. It's a h...

Thank you for answering. It looks like I did choose the right answer then! I was just so lost because in class she said only Neg RH would need the shot yet the question was not like that at all. Got to love exams!

I just bought the ATI study guide. Anyone used this and found it helpful? I am getting so many mixed signals. Some people are telling me it's not worth studying because it's your over all general knowledge, and others say it's great to study. My A&a...

I'm currently doing my prerequisites for the ADN program. I work full time and I am paying for classes out of pocket and I am trying to minimize student debt. I know when I enter into the ADN there will be no way I can pay 16 credit hours out of pock...

Well here in AL, (It's that third world country to the east of Oregon and then a little south) You can work as a technician in hospitals if you have completed your first semester of clinical's. You have more responsibility than a CNA, and are paid be...

No, I have not shadowed. I understand I will not be rocking babies..it's a NICU. That's why I am asking what my expectations should be? I currently work with the product of screaming drug babies. (The adult mentally challenged and their parents.) I...

It really depends on where you work. Currently I am in a very similar situation right now. I work for the a group home ran by a poorly managed company. These group homes are for the mentally challenged. Although I typically only work with four "consu...

I took medical terminology when I was getting ready to get my medical assisting certificate. I wanted to be a nurse later on but I quickly changed my mind and went straight for the RN. ANYWAYS, a medical terminology class is typically for those who w...

Thank you all! I am just beginning to get into the ATI manual (long holiday) and reading comp is my strongest subj, and I am still finding out things I don't know or didn't remember. So just in the first 15 pages I am seeing great things! I plan to ...

Whatever you do, do not go with Wells Fargo. They practically rape you with interest. When I was a freshman I made the mistake of taking out a loan with them. Your personal bank should have some good loans for you to take out with low interest. (Not...

You should be very proud! So a BSN told me that in nursing school a C means "CONTINUE"!! Also another thing, employers do not always want the, "Straight A" student because of assumed social awkwardness that is associated with straight A students. So...

Well don't freak out yet hehe. You can retake it! My professor and other students have taken it 2-3 times. Buy the study manual, and focus on your weaknesses. Plus you already know what to expect!

Also research your professor before picking classes! This has saved me a lot of heartache from awful teachers!

I am a student here in Alabama. I typically buy all my books used..I also buy them ahead of the game so I can get them before they run out. If your lucky sometimes you can find them on Amazon, or used textbook brokers in your area. Just google it. M...
