Around me the same thing is happening. It's so scary. I'm in Texas where guns are very prevalent.

I would have to also consider the traffic. If it's a 50 mile commute in heavy traffic then no way.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck everyone!

Yes, at my nursing school almost all lectures were available on Blackboard. I couldn't imagine doing as well as I did in school without being able to listen to those lectures over and over.

Once you take NCLEX, you can go to the Pearson Vue website and try to re-schedule for another NCLEX test (go thru the steps, put in credit card info, etc). If they let you re-schedule then you have failed. If you get an error saying that you have a...

My advice is to be honest. From what I've been told, if they find out about the incident and you haven't been honest, that is worse than the actual incident. I would go to the director of your nursing program for guidance with how to proceed.

I have no knowledge of the websites you asked about but I and almost everyone in my class used UWorld and it is amazing!! So worth it!

The GPA for the sciences is very important. Your options are to re-take those sciences to boost your GPA to get into a RN program. Or go right into an LVN program and then start over from there. LVN programs are less competitive. Usually RN progra...

If you could point me to that study it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I feel very fortunate to have had taken General Chem because we did a lot of practice with calculations using dimensional analysis so my med calculations in nursing school weren't an issue for me.

The same thing happened to me as well. I couldn't breathe and felt super anxious. I told the anesthesiologist that I felt like I was going to die. He said that he gave me something to adjust my blood pressure and that feeling went away.

I would tell myself to stop trying to go for the glamorous nursing specialties (ER, ICU) that everyone else wants and just listen to your heart.

Really? This is an interesting observation.

What I'm hearing is that you are overwhelmed and it might be clouding your judgement about the nursing profession. CVICU is an insanely intense unit to start out in as a new nurse. If I were in your shoes, I would do something to help process and r...

Perhaps. But the original poster does know and described it pretty much like I did.

Compared to my nursing program exams, NCLEX was easier than expected.

I guess I should have warned her about the laxative effect. I didn't think she would eat the whole dang bag.

Thank you! Yes, I agree with you 100% and am so glad you wrote this article. For many reasons, breast might not be best. We need to examine those reasons and talk honestly about them. For example, breast feeding is an added stress on mom during a ...

Believe it or not there are a lot of BSN students that have previous undergrad degrees and even graduate degrees. Nursing is a career that is very attractive as a second career, I guess. I think you will be surprised how challenging nursing school ...

Ha! Believe it or not my General Chemistry prof told the class about this book! I bought it and yes it really does work!! I've used the concept to memorize lots of things. The process even works very quickly for immediate recall.

So many people I know have received job offers from the unit they worked on while in nursing school. Yes, it's a good idea. However, I would think about timing. You might not want to do it right away when you first start nursing school so that you...

Our maternity course was a full semester long. But we also had Adult One and some online classes at the same time. I know that a school near by does the 5 week maternity but that's all you do for the 5 weeks and then the next five is peds. I think...

My advice is to sign up for Uworld 2 year subscription. You can create custom practice exams on content and you can use it to prep for NCLEX. UWorld is a must-have tool for any nursing student.
