Everyone does stupid things at any age. Being a nurse, and at the very least a nursing student, one should know a little about safety, prioritizing responsibilities and NOT to jeopardy their future by "drinking" something someone thrusts at you. She'...

This. And all the other postings about being 18 and being an adult and all. It seems like your parents are looking out for you in the only way they may know how to. Giving your side and information about what you really want may open up some serious ...

I just can't get over the whole "she gave me a drink/ it tasted strong/ I drank it anyway" part of the original posting. That doesn't inspire future nurse confidence. What a judgement call -- especially the whole possibility of a date rape drug, etc....

Congratulations!!

I wish I would have known about this sooner! I tried some of the demo questions and loved the rationales.

Oh man, can you send me a forward of those notes? Pretty please and thank you. [email protected] I am waiting for my ATT and am trying to brush up on EVERYTHING I can get my hands on. Just did some practice UWorld material and I liked the rat...

Waiting on ATT currently; doing practice questions from LaCharity, Saunders and anywhere else I can get my hands on.

I stalked many on this site for YEARS before finally signing up for an account there's just so many brilliant and comforting people on here, especially when going through school! And the snark is icing on the cake.

Just be yourself -- quietly! , but seriously, just be yourself and observe as much as you can. It's not easy in nursing school, with know-it-alls, gung-ho newbies or know-nothings who ***** and complain, in addition to the normal drama of being aroun...

Oh man, this is why I was always quiet, observing and trying to be as helpful as possible during my time as a student on different floors. I never wanted the nurse to feel like I was in the way. I really dislike know-it-alls - nursing is a field wher...

You MAY wanna keep around a cheap one for clinicals. Someone in one of our semesters would lose theirs or it get stolen on the floor. I even had people straight up tell me they'd kill for the gold stethoscope my mom passed down to me. Definitely hid ...

OMG yes, other students and the BS involved with excessive charges. The hardest part for me was group projects! So glad those are behind me for now!

You guys really need to stop with the PVT and just wait for the official results. OMG.

As others have stated: you cannot refuse care of anyone; the patient has that right. Furthermore, most patients I've encountered don't care either way so long as they get the care they need. No offense but nursing home/LTC might not be something you ...

Not all LTC and nursing facilities are like this. Just FYI. Good luck job searching!

There's so much negativity going on right now with these posts. It's Thanksgiving Eve ()-- I'm thankful for my job, my love of nursing and not feeling like that. Nursing is too full of this already.

You're in my prayers. I think you made the right call and I hope you get the help you need, and are able to pick back up and move on.

You have to help yourself before you can help others. Your heart is definitely in the right place, and nursing would love to have you. You can do this! Take that extra time to care for yourself first then you can start assessing where you're at in re...

I'll be happy to get a job at all after I graduate in 2 more weeks. Anyways, I always originally thought I would be the weekend RN position at my old job (in a nursing home -- I never really wanted a hospital job), seeing as how they couldn't keep a...

I am totally one of those people that needs weeks and/or months to get ready. About to take my Hesi exit in less than 3 weeks and hope to take the NCLEX exam as soon as I can. So nervous. Could you please forward me that same info for prep? Please an...
