i am planning on working night shift on med/surg and that was really helpful.. thank you for ur tips!!

I'm going to be working night shift on a med-surg floor as an extern this summer so the responses you will be getting would be interesting to catch up on. Currently, I have been working day shifts and it's pretty easy to just politely get another nu...

Its sad to say, but I also had the same problem and I guess you just have to stick to it if this is what you have been working towards. It might be a lot of work now, but it does get better! It really does and there's so many more things to look for...

I am currently attending a BSN program and in my class the ages range from 19 - around 27, but in the upperclass there are some students in their thirties ranging to late fifties.

Oh wow... all white! That is a tough one, at least my school allows white tops and khaki pants. HOpefully lots of bleach will do the trick for ya!! Besides that, I'm sure others will understand if you are not completely stain-free during ur shift bec...

You should do what you want! Who cares what others say? If you feel confident in your skills that you learn from clinical than you probably don't need to extern. As for me, I still think I have a lot of learning and catching up to do so this summer e...

I understand exactly where you are coming from, but other than that, I'm not sure what else you can do besides working ur chain of command!

At my school, nursing is a pretty stressful and tough major. Although, when I'm sitting @ home studying & everyone else is out partying I like to tell myself, "If nursing was so easy, everyone would be doing it!" :)

Thanks everyone for the helpful tips, and encouragement. I deeply appreciate it. :)

Hey everyone! :roll Yes, as the title states, I am having pharmacology troubles. The class is TOUGH! I am just so tired of even talking about it and I don't even want to go on about how terrible my teacher is. The professor does not do much to h...

Whenever I tell people that I'm going to nursing school everyone immediately jumps to the topic of how much money I'm going to make and how I'm going to be so rich and asks me what kind of house/car I'm going to get. I didn't go into nursing for t...

bump! :balloons:

Does anyone have any advice out there on how to SPEED READ? There are just so many pages to read and actually being able to remember what you're reading about is tough and trying not to fall asleep sucks, too. Any suggestions would help a lot.. Tha...

Curlyfries: Some hospitals around my school are offering the 20/40 Financial Assistance Program for Registered Nurses. Here's the link: http://www.memorialmedicalcenter.org/jobs/index.html You should check if they have that around your school or wher...

Wow, I'm surprised this became such an interesting topic! I guess there's such a big difference in a nurse's salary based on where one lives. I have some nurses who live in my neighborhood and they are pretty much "bling bling" bc they seem to be abl...

I totally agree with that!! Go Roy Fokker! :)

Well, I guess in my area.. professors, friends, fellow classmates, and family thinks thats where all the money is at...

Hey everyone!

Thanks everyone for the quick replies! :w00t: A girl in my class also told me that after she graduates she wants to move to the bay area where nurses make 80K. Well, in my area in CA, RN's make about $29-45 so I don't know how good/bad that compare...

I am going through the same thing right now.. I just finished my 1st week of nursing school and it does seem like tons of reading! I have 2 classes that use the Fundamentals book and it isn't the most exciting book I've ever read! Let's just keep at ...

Thanks for the great comments so far! Please keep the suggestions coming! >> :w00t:

Darn.. I wish I could've known about that before I bought mine!!

It doesn't seem all that great as other ppl might think. I'm going through nursing school with my bf of 3 yrs and sometimes we do have "too much togetherness" and it does drive us insane, but then again he's always there for me and I'm always there f...
