I'm 49 just graduated in May 2015

I'm a newly licensed RN in labor and delivery.. I'm a man.. Enough said , huh?

I am a recent nursing school grad. I worked full time hours on the week ends in a hospital Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights.. And full time program my hospital and manager were great in working with my schedule. My clinical days were in Monday's one s...

Well I took my NCLEX first time on Sunday 6/7/15 had 75 questions and it cut off.. Found out today I am an official RN on the BON website.. I did have pharm questions but the purpose of the board is to make sure you are a safe nurse so you won't get ...

Wait you pay them to work for free? Here in Texas they pay you to work. There should be lots of places that will hire a fresh graduate CNA. I was a CNA for ten years and never had a problem securing employment. You are a critical part of the interdis...

The Texas Bon website has all the answers. You can also call them toll free. So here is what I know. First get all court records from the county where the offense occurred, you will need to submit those with the petition, write a letter explaining wh...

Time for your bed bath!

Why are you staring at me that way?

Wow this is strange, my brother is in the coast guard stationed in Williamsburg Virginia , I live in Dallas and in nursing school and I work at Baylor, currently Baylor only hires BSN's not because one or the other is better it's an accreditation thi...

Hey LunaPaula , I also went to Navarro college and did all my prerequisites there in waxahachie. I am now a RN student in Corsicana. Navarro had a great LVN program and also has a bridge program so when your ready you can just continue with the same ...

Great that you are thinking like a nurse and working on your delegating skills set forth in the BON website on delegating. Trust me when I say this, but the bad CNA that you have run across were good at one time and really believed that what they wer...

If this helps any, I'm a full time nursing student here in Texas , I also work full time, Friday , Saturday and Sunday nights 12 hr shifts. I pay for my classes out of pocket, no FA. Have three children a wife and four dogs, a house payment and two c...

Congrats, it must feel awesome to sign your credentials as RN now and not nursing student. Can't wait till I graduate...

Congrats, way to go! Don't be discouraged when your 4.0 goes out the window. It's a different world in nursing school and the grading and thinking is totally different than in the class room.. Very good grades are possible don't don't beat yourself d...

Oh my, no she didn't. And if that patient sues, and her friend charted the wrong thing or not exactly what her friend Would have charted it. If I'm an attorney I Would eat them alive in court.

I'm in my third semester and have worked full time and passing with very good grades. For me I don't have a choice I'm an older non traditional student, meaning I'm a guy in the nursing program instead of the welding program. I have a mortgage , car ...

The things we say, let's not forget where we have come from! Speaking as a nursing student that's been a CNA, med-aide and MHT since the 90's when most of the students I attend school with were just born. The CNA is on the front line they are with th...

Take the C and move on don't waste time trying to better your grade unless the program is very competitive and the C won't get you in and the A will.

My fear was of the unknown, just didn't know what to expect, how to dress, act, but after the first semester you will settle in and relax and be a pro nursing student by the next semester. Skills check offs will make you nervous just be prepared and ...

I'm here in Texas and I made a C in A&P 1, 2 is much easier.. Don't be too upset you still can get in just make good grades the rest of the way or you can retake it to get a better grade. I got in, but had numerous certifications to boost my poin...

Really annoys me during lecture, I'm trying to listen and all I hear is the noise coming from potato chip bags rattling during the instructors lecture.

You have pretty much answered your own question. If you are reconstituting it with 10ml and adding it to NS or LR then if it's 1000ml bag ran over 8 hrs the rate is 125ml/hr if it's in 500ml over 8hrs then it's 63ml/hr. If it's in an IVPB of 50ml ran...

I have been a CNA since 1996 and it is true that each state has it's own registry for nursing assistants. Being certified in Texas is a must most places here will not hire you unless you are certified. Now that I have almost completed nursing school ...

Hey guys, just wanted to chime in on the topic. I am also a male nursing student. I think I can put your minds at ease a little. I have been working in labor and delivery since 1999 as a scrub tech/ OB tech, and have more than my share of uncomfortab...
