Nursing school and actual nursing are two completely different animals. Major differences: I "missed" an antibiotic. I hung it, but to my horror at 630am when I went to hang the next one realized forgot to roll down the roller clamp, and the sal...

Heh. I don’t fit into any of your categories as far as the reason being. I honestly just randomly decided one day to start the pre recs and somewhere in the process I realized I really loved not just nursing but .... I may be one of the few humans a...

I swear in a post apocalyptic situation if no nurses or doctors were available the first person I’d call is my horse friends ?

Ha. That’s gen Y saying that now. Heck my cousin whose in the *same* generation I am tried to OK boomer me and I just laughed at him until I had to excuse myself. But he’s just a run of the mill smart aleck teenager - and that’s in every generation

And who gave us those trophies ? Not our fellow friends and students, no it was .... boomer parents who couldn’t stand the fact their kids weren’t the next michael Jordan.... also I guess my husband working 3 jobs while helping take care ...

As far as complaining about floating as a newer nurse, I wonder if it has less to do with “ugh this assignment”’and a lot more to do with being new and not yet feeling like you’ve got your footing on your home floor yet let alone a new dep...

I paid $8 for my quick results! I passed!!

I graduated the 18th. I did really well. (One B the rest A’s). I had a 90% on the ATI comp predictor (99% chance of passing). I was getting 65% on UWorld. I got my att yesterday and it was either take it at 8am today or wait 2-3 weeks and drive ...

I see no harm in keeping it, it’s only a 2 hour class and it’s good for 2 years

I am married. Take. The. Job. The fact that you’re asking, means you already know the answer your heart desires. My spouse would have waited for me, and I for him. In fact, I let him bumble through major change after major change after change (par...

At my school you can waive Hep B (though it is not recommended to do so) or as long as you start the series you’re good. Most schools don’t have a whole ton of time between “contrats here’s your letter” “get your titers!” “Whoops! You’re not immune ...

You should be able to pick it up at a community college. Online even! Its not terrible, I’ve taken stats and advanced stats. WAY easier than pre calc!

It was more of an encouragement to regard needing meds not as a failing but as one of the many tools we can use. I’ve dealt with so much med shaming in my life that i can come off a little strong there

Oh it’ll show up. I didn’t take mine the day of my drug test but I did the day before and i got a phone call, by someone who very somberly told me “Mrs c_m_l_r18, we found AMPHETAMINES in your drug screen” in a tone that was basically daring me to tr...

I would never consider having to go on meds a lack of coping. Instead, its that your condition was severe enough to need it. You wouldn’t tell someone nearsighted that needing to wear glasses was simply that they didn’t squint good enough would you? ...

I was so anxious about having this happen to me, that I actually bought a gait belt off of amazon. - I know how busy things can get and things might not be where I think they are or where I need them to be.... unless I have it right in my pocket. * ...

I’m still a student but... our text makes it clear that there may be cultural circumstances with someone who is female who may prefer female only techs. In my mind it’s well within the right of the patient to request that. Now, as far as being raci...

I have a similar issue- mine is comorbid with my learning disorder. I would definitely see my doctor at this point, especially if the sleep meds aren’t working. I think the only reason mine isn’t gonna be a huge issue is I only have to adjust my sche...

Some hospitals have what I can only describe as “death doulas”- the program I know of is something like “nobody dies alone” or something like that- they have patients with no family or family far away and you basically sit with them so that they’re n...

How old are you? If you’re under 30 I’d wait. I had hyper emesis with my middle kid (girl) and moderately bad morning sickness with the boys and there is no way I’d have been able to keep up or even drag myself to class let alone be on my feet for c...

It depends on the school. At mine, if you have completed some at an accredited university and the courses transfer you can sometimes have advanced placement. But it’s on a case by case basis and you have to talk to the dean.

Maybe try a community college? Many community colleges provided theyre’ accredited are a great choice, at a low cost.

Do a mason jar “salad” - You can get plastic “mason” jars if glass makes you nervous. Dressing goes in the bottom, then “hard” veggies that won’t get soggy (like peppers or carrots) or you can put meat and then the veggies, then lettuce on top. Don...

I literally had to look at this to see if i hadn’t posted it in my sleep. I have ADHD, am starting nursing school tuesday, and have a prior degree in English... and wrote my senior thesis on William Blake. The reason being under the gun makes us ...

5 weeks is a ton of time. I'd totally re-take. I passed really well with only about 2-3 weeks worth of studying for about an hour nightly and skipping somedays (hey, last weekend was REALLY nice out ok? ha ha ) What i would personally do, is there s...
