  2. 1st semester NS burnout?

    RazorbackRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just to give you guys some hope... I graduated in May, and I too felt like it was never going to end. My last semester, it was all I could do to drag myself to class/clinicals. I had made all A's...

  3. Working five 12hr shifts a week

    RazorbackRN replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought of working weekends perhaps?? This way you could be at home all week with the child(ren) and give your husband a break. 60hrs/wk may be feasible, but it isn't

  6. Tell all about Arkansas!

    RazorbackRN replied to military spouse's topic in General Nursing

  10. Giving IM inject in a SQ space?

    RazorbackRN replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Patient Medications

    RazorbackRN replied to kimhaw's topic in General Nursing

    No, don't know much about it. I do know a girl that was in our class that worked there as a PCP and really liked it, but she ended up taking an RN job on 4 ado. I'm in Burn and LOVE it. The whole...

    RazorbackRN replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    RazorbackRN replied to flwannaB's topic in General Nursing

    RazorbackRN replied to SpudID's topic in Ob/Gyn
