You know I quit coming to this website for advice, assistance, and help a while back. I have seen the way a lot of people on here attack and criticize posters for no apparent reason. I feel sorry for each of you. Your life must be miserable. I came back needing advice, assistance, and direction hoping that things had changed. Only a few offered words of help. I don't know who else to ask or what to do, but I will definitely never come back here! You people are disgraceful. If you behave, in the real world, as you act on this discussion board, I would be embarrassed to call you my co-worker and friend.

Well gee you were alot of help. You only bashed me for what I didn't want. You offered nothing positive.

I am just now starting classes for a bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration. I don't want to waste my time and money if I can not do something with the degree in the end. Thoughts?

Yes, I am aware of this. I in no way, shape, or form said it was going to be easy. I was looking for ideas/suggestions for a pathway. If you can not provide that information please do not reply.

What type of environment do you work in with no weekends and holidays. Hospital or private clinic?

I know I don't want to be a nurse manager. I don't really know what type settings are out there...that is the problem.

Oh my! How rude!!

Hi all! I need help in deciding what I can do with a nursing career. I have been employed as an LPN for four years. I want a management type career. I don't want to be an RN in the true sense of an RN. I don't want to work the hours, weekends, and holidays that are required. I did this at the skilled nursing facility and hated it. It took a toll on my family life, and I will NOT do that again. I have no problem getting my RN if need be. Any ideas or suggestions on what path I should seek. No judgement please only advice. Thank you for your help!

Apparently, I am in the wrong job. Alabama, Specialty Clinic $13.31/hr I work in a very busy specialty clinic. I have 2-3 hours OT every week and I am TOTALLY exhausted at the end of the day. I sit down only for lunch break which averages 20 mins-1 hour, depending on how the day is going. :)

Good luck! I took the 2014 version on 11/20. I made a 70% (89% of passing NCLEX on first try). My school requires 90% pass rate for NCLEX! Myself and other classmates will take the 2011 version a week from tomorrow.

Congratulations everybody!! Good luck!!

mandimarie Yes, you will get a letter in a regular Shelton envelope.

Congratulations andrea0895!! Nursetoobe look for a big yellow envelope. Good luck!

No. I just reapplied after I finished BIO202.

Keep trying! I applied twice and was accepted on the second application. I have no idea how many points I had. I didn't know you could find that out lol. I'm not an A student at all! I make Bs on everything. So you can definitely get in if I can! Good luck y'all! :)

I am in my last semester in the PN program at Shelton. Good luck!! Hope you get in! :)

Thank you both! Esme12 that thread really helped!

Okay I found a picture. Hopefully that clarifies things.

emtb2rn TMI?? Not sure how that is. Shayboo Hummingbirds actually. :) I wondered when I picked that username if people would think that. But hey those vehicles are pretty sharp also lol.

My care plan paperwork asks for a goal and expected client outcomes. I have THE hardest time coming up with a goal. I don't get it. To me, the goal and expected client outcomes are the same. Can anyone help me to understand the difference? Thank you for your help!

I don't understand this concept you all speak of about "following" a nurse around all day. We are assigned a patient to take care of and that is ALL we do besides pre and post conference. I would LOVE to just be assigned a nurse and follow her around all day!! This would be more educational to me than what I do at clinicals now. I am excited that we get to go back to the nursing home (from 1st semester) and shadow the nurse all day there.

Thank you both for your responses! I have my final for summer semester tomorrow and another med-surg course that starts Aug 20th. I am going to continue familiarizing myself with the info over our break.

Hi everyone! I have been browsing a while. :) I am a second semester PN student. I am struggling (passing, but not where I would like to be) in Med-Surg (patho, risk factors, manifestations, diagnostic testing, treatments, nursing care). It is A LOT to remember! Do you have any advice on extra resources to help in my learning? Thank you!
