I think OP has the right to focus on what SHE wants when it comes to her future career goals...that's not immature at all. OP, if you don't think nursing is for you then by all means, find what IS for you. Completing a degree for a career you aren't ...

I'm about to complete my first clinical rotation, I always bring: stethoscope, comfortable shoes, compression socks, big hair clip or elastics, more black pens than I'll ever need, watch with a second hand, notebook small enough to fit in my scrub po...

Hello there, Quick question for anyone who has already had some clinical experience. I was just accepted to my ADN program for Fall 2015 (yay!) and as a congrats gift my family bought me a stethoscope along with a really cute charm chain that hangs f...

I start my ADN program on August 31st! I'll be taking "Nursing I" which is a 9 credit class including lecture, lab and clinical, Mon-Th. I just finished buying all of my supplies and books and completing all of the health, etc. requirements...now I'm...

That's probably a good idea...mine was on our booklist under the recommended section.

I just bought the Saunders Nursing Drug Handbook 2015, only because it was recommended by my school.

Thanks for this post! As a nursing student it's comforting to know that it's normal for the "icky" stuff to bother me...as long as the patient doesn't know!

There were definitely a few chem questions...specifically I remember having to balance a few chemical equations.

Any specific channels you can recommend?

I'm interested in more info about this too...are there any that accept nursing students??

This happens to me also when using the app on my phone. Try opening it with safari or internet explorer, it works for me that way.

You forgot about it?!

"You'd think if the hospital is going to spy on their nurses, they'd make the cameras a little more inconspicuous..."

I'm sorry sir, but your home care visits don't include home repairs...

Youtube: MathAntics It is a very helpful channel for basic math skills and explains concepts very clearly.

I work about 18 hours/week as an Office Manager for a small primary care office.

I haven't heard any info about how the waitlist works but I would be surprised if Great Bay was still accepting alternates. The mandatory orientation was this past Monday and we already have deadlines coming up quickly for the technical requirements....

Do you want to tell him the free DD coffee for Nurse Appreciation Week was a hoax, or should I?

10 hours a day is a lot! I would suggest you study for a few hours each day and take breaks. What study materials are you using? I found what worked for me was the ATI Teas Study Manual, then if there was a topic that I didn't quite understand I woul...

Hmm, it's almost like they want to make sure only the most capable and deserving applicants are accepted... As we've all heard, nursing school is no joke...the application process is strenuous for a reason.

Thank you so much, Badassnurse! I hope I come across more with your attitude, I genuinely appreciate it. The crabby pants of the nursing world will just make me that much better.

Thank you, nursel56. There is a lot of helpful info on this site so I do plan on taking advantage of that. It's just so crazy how quickly some will jump at the chance to put another down.

And here I thought compassion, hard work, and love of medicine were the qualifications to be a good nurse. Good thing I have you all to show me it's more about appearances, how naive of me! I only hope one day I can be as professional and charm-free ...

I understand the importance of looking professional. You will never see me in scrubs covered in cartoon characters. However, a little charm or color doesn't hurt. Professional does not have to be synonymous to boring.
