Hi. I am a nurse of 7 years. I have worked in several areas including medsurge, community healtH, visiting nurse and SNF. I have an opportunity to possible take on the role of RN designee. The thing is that no matter how hard I search I cannot find any reviews good or bad on this particular role. I work as an RN supervisor in a SNF now and employee morale is low. They have union in place that tosses write ups out and attendance is poor. I would like to hear from anyone who is or was an RN designee about how they felt about the role, what it's like on a day to day basis and if it is worth leaving my current job for. If it's going to present the same problems I won't bother. Thanks guys.

I am a first year nursing stu ent. I believe that nursing is a calling. I do not have nurses in my family and i did not really know what nursing was until I started school. I'm speaking for myself by the way. Not sure who else feels the same. I think about my patients when I go home. I am making a difference in someones life for a living.When I'm hungry, thirsty, tired my patient's needs come first. I enjoy what I do. Maybe it's because I'm a newbie?

LOL!!!

Ok I have awesome advice for you. Take good class notes, dont read every single word in your text book. Watch Nurse Nacole on youtube. She has a video on how to read your textbook. Type: Nurse Nacole how to read textbook. It will workout just fine. There is also another video called: Nursing school, how to read the book.

Thank you for this info...when you say local libraries where exactly do you mean? I use Burroughs and Saden in Bport.

Hi. I am starting nursing in September. I have 3 kids, I'm married and my husband is a kidney patient. During my Anatomy and Physiology level 2 class my hubby got a call for a kidney. It was the first week of school for my children and I. I am the only one that works. I missed most of my classes and got an A-. Mind you my husband was back and forth to the hospital and I had to do everything myself. It was a nightmare, but I passed. Please stop listening to negative talk of other peoples experiences. You can do anything you put your mind to.

I just got my third nursing text book in the mail and it's huge and very intimidating. How did you excellent nurses study for your exams?

I like your attitude.

I'm married and we have 3 daughters. I've been on summer vacation, and during that time I was accepted to nursing school. So now I'm counting down, 4 weeks to go. Then I start my 2 year nursing program. I've always been one to completely abandon everything that has nothing to do with my school work. I'm told that nursing school is a different beast though. At this rate I'll be sleeping in my study room. Hope my hubby doesnt leave me...

Been chasing a certain hospital like a dog with no luck. What's a girl gotta do to get noticed?

Thank you for your response. I am done with all pre req classes and I am starting nursing courses in September. I've heard it said that notes will be used way more than books. I bought one older edition book for $10. I'm going to rent one other. I have a lot of loan money left over but have to wait for it to be disbursed.

Thank you...

Hi, I was accepted to Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing and got the book list. Yikes, its like $1500 of books. Any suggestions?

Just reply and we can link up. I'll pick them up. (Fairfield County CT only)

Hi. Thank you so much for the info. I am attending this September. I saw the part about the books. I am so extreamly tight on cash and this achool doesn't provide a way to charge books to financial aid. What do youbthink about renting books? I bought the dosage c calculation book. We have assigned reading in the Nursing in Today's World and Fundamentals of Nursing. Theses two are exspensive. I am very much an audio learner so do you think it better to invest in a recorder, and which one?
