Charles is here for the... par... ty... the party! Wait? Where is the 8 South holiday party? Linda said we could bring our dogs!

OH! She asked for a "pop" not a "pup." I see! I'll be right back! Is Diet Coke, okay? Oh she's NPO? I'm a New Grad... I'm just gonna... go...

She said her husband was a dog...

I've been searching for further information about this too. I applied for my CA RN License via Endorsement at the beginning of April. BreEze listed my application status as "pending" up until today. Then the weblink you would click to view the statu...

Hi NS808, I graduated with my BSN in May 2016 & was completing my preceptorship this time last year. I (and many other now RNs & fellow nursing students) have been in your shoes. I was a nervous wreck the entire time, especially administeri...

Hi Everyone! I thought I'd ask you before looking into each individual state's RN license requirements here in the U.S. I'm finishing up my BSN next month and am planning to move to Mexico. I'm planning to teach and will not be working as a RN, bu...

I actually just found this great resource: State Boards of Nursing | Contacts and Requirements Additional, info is warmly welcomed! :) Also, wanted to include the weblink in case there are others out there who want to live abroad, might not practice...

Thank you so much, Nikki for sharing your story! I know this discussion thread is from 2012, but it CERTAINLY has helped me. I just started my last semester of nursing school & while the end is in sight with May 2016 graduation, I am stressed.....

I agree with your post 100%, SBrn1. You must've gone to my nursing school ;o) 25% is worth entirely way too much in terms of the final course grade.

Lots of great questions! Boston is an amazing place to study to become a nurse :) I've lived here practically my whole life and there are some really wonderful programs around the Greater Boston Area including: Boston College, UMASS Boston, Simmons C...

Thank you so much for posting, Kx556! Always love to hear from someone who is also interested in public health policy and social work as an aspiring RN I'm currently in my last year of nursing school: I'm a 29-year-old *non-traditional student* ea...

I think it's amazing that you're reflecting on different options available to you; that's extremely resilient. If you know you want to be a nurse in your heart and mind, please don't listen to anyone doubting your ability to do so... Having been in...

This is such a great thread & definitely much needed! I completely agree with BeachyRN2Be that, if this were the NCLEX, "don't work full-time" would be an ideal answer choice in a perfect world. I sometimes naively think "wow! wouldn't it be so ...

Your supportive, encouraging post applies to SO MANY various components of nursing & life :) As a BSN Student, I find being confident makes all the difference! Definitely easier said than done for me at least, but it's always inspiring and help...

At this point, my two cents: you should focus on forgiving yourself :) You don't need absolution from your teacher... No one is perfect That is so heartbreaking to hear because you've demonstrated such caring, reflection, & passion. It soun...

Congrats on considering attending nursing school, Infofreak411! :) Definitely check out this video for starters: because there is no such thing as failure. If anyone knows the pain & stigma with "academic dismissal" on their nursing school tra...

Thank you so much for sharing about your summer camp nursing job, nurseinstinct. I love hearing different nursing stories like yours because they keep reminding me to follow my heart / dreams; really listen to what it is that I want. Also, reminds me...

I'm a year away from graduating with my BSN & cannot get living in Latin America post-graduation out of my brain :) The "year of med surg experience" is the motto at my nursing school and it just doesn't feel like the next best step for me. I'v...

Camp7712 - - four & a half years later, how did your travel and nursing plans turn out? I'll be graduating with my BSN in May 2016. I've already completed graduate school & have worked for the past six years in an amazing hospital. I cannot...

Great post! I've also been researching information regarding New Grad RNs & Peace Corps. I'm about a year away from earning my BSN & I have two prior degrees in health-related fields. PC seems to be a *less traditional* track for new grads...

What a beautifully-written post :) Thank you so much! WOW! I'm working on a care plan right now - - genius idea to apply the nursing process to myself! Who would've thought?! Thank you from the bottom of my heart; this means so much to me.

Hi Everyone, As a BSN Student, I know I'm not the first person to ever feel like they're struggling to cope with stress and tuning out negativity, especially from my fellow classmates. I'm an older student, yet feel like I have such thin skin by abs...

I know this post is from last year, but I just wanted to say: your grades & GPA don't define you as a person, you as a nursing student, or you as a nurse :) At my university's White Coat Ceremony this year, our Alum Student Speaker transferred i...

I'm currently a BSN Student who is extremely interested in all things birth control, reproductive health, and abortion care. In researching new grad residency programs, not too many mention, let alone really focus on, abortion care services. This s...

CONGRATULATIONS! :) :) :) This is super exciting! I hate (yes, the h-word) the term: "failure" I was academically dismissed (aka "failed out") from a really prestigious nursing program almost 10 years ago & had a horribly difficult time copin...
