The only thing I did was use the hesi resources in the evolve website. I did the practice quizzes for each topic (OB, community/mental health, peds, fundamentals, and med surg) and the cumulative quizzes, I also used the online resources in the hesi ...

I'm so excited I passed the first try. This semester was almost the death of me! I was failing by literally 1 exam question. Our instructors allowed us to retake exam 2 because we missed 4 out of the 5 classes on the exam due to snow, thank god becau...

I'm a ADN nursing student going into my 3rd semester. I've applied for and got my CNA right before I started my second semester and I still cannot find a job. Most of the job requirements say nursing students need at least 2 semesters of clinical whi...

Yep, so it's getting close to the day that I start my job. I'm getting so nervous! I haven't had a "job" in years..I worked for my father from 2006-2012 when his company went out of business, but from 2011-2012 I was working from home but if you want...

Thank you! I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time!

Got a job! Pending background check and drug test of course, but that won't be an issue! Start nextonth. Can't wait!

Let me just say I'm really regretting going into an associates degree program. I graduate in May and I'm looking into BSN programs and it's just insane. I will have to take so many more prerequisites before I can even start. Than the program itself i...

I can do my prerequisites at a community college but I'm not aware of any community college where I can get a BSN?

Finally got another hospital to call me back. Had the phone interview and I'm assuming it didn't go awful because they asked me to come in for a face to face (but I'm sure this is protocol unless you totally choke on the phone, idk never had a phone ...

That's probably why you don't have as many to do...I have all kinds of general Ed classes I will have to do but oh well I guess I will somehow get through it just like everyone else does

Well you my friend are lucky! I'm going to continue to shop around but I will have to take more English, statistics, history, more humanities, nutrition and a few others I cannot think of at the moment...it's insane! I've only looked at a few schools...

Yes I know! The cost is so depressing. I can never afford that and if I can't get scholarships idk what I'll do. I don't work now and have had to take out loans just to keep my head above water while I go through school, I can't afford to rack up mor...

I'm in maryland and it looks like the average RN to BSN program is about $28,000 and that's not including additional general education classes. I'll will keep shopping around until it's time to enroll

When doing a program online does the university have to be in the state you live in? I've been wondering that too. If not it will open up my options a little more.

That's awesome. I've been in some requests for info on the programs and I'm just waiting for call backs. I want to maybe take my transcripts to them and ask what I would need that way I will know exactly and it won't be a ton of guess work when choos...

Thats good! I'm seriously regretting not doing all of my "homework" before starting. Now I'm going to pay the price by being in school longer. Bridging from ADN to BSN is cheaper in the long run and probably better in your situation but get them Gen ...

I'm actually looking into BSN programs right now bc I will graduate with my ADN in May. Word of advice, look at different BSN programs required prerequisites and get them done while doing the ones for your ADN program. I didn't and now I'm going to h...

Wow that sounds like a lot. Are you in a BSN or ADN program right now? The universities I'm looking at right now for a part time schedule show 8-9 credits per semester. To add additional classes to that with two kids and working a full time job would...

I guess the best thing I can do is just start requesting info and finding out exactly what will be expected from me at each school. I finish my ADN program in May, so I may be jumping the gun a little by worrying about this already, but I like to be...

So from day one everyone says in your second year of nursing school things start to click. I've been having an awful time connecting the dots on things so I never believed any of them and today IT HAPPENED! It was a super small connection but it happ...

It's nice right? I feel like I'm "growing up"

So today in my WBN clinical rotation I was lucky enough to be able to witness a circumcision....well I got dizzy and had to walk out. I had breakfast but it was at 6am before clinical and the procedure took place at 11am. I tried to convince myself t...

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Well of course I'm not but you know what I mean. They didn't have to wheel me out but when I walked out of the room the nurse could see it in my face and immediately she grabbed me and sat me in a chair. She wanted to "...

I have put in about 12-13 of them so far. Only PRN ones though bc I'm still in school and just don't have the time for school, full time work, and kids. There's are only so many prn jobs even listed right now :-/ oh well hope the other one works out....
