I am 26 and have a BSN with one and a half years working nightshift in inpatient physical rehab nursing. I feel like becoming a nurse has made me a better person, but I feel like I am not growing...
It depends on which program you're enrolling in; is it an ADN or BSN program? Where I live, the ADN program required these classes before beginning: Composition 1, intro to Psych, Introduction to...
I am a nursing student and a Christian. I go to a state school in a very Christian area, so many of the teachers and students in my program also come from a Christian background. Of course, though,...
We need all the prayer we can get. One of the nurses where I work, prays quietly for the patients and staff every shift, she does so silently. I feel very encouraged knowing this. I am a Baptist,...

Try to find time to connect with your real-life, non-nursing school friends. You probably have deeper friendships than the gossipers can earn by putting others
I have used them, especially the one for maternal-newborn nursing, and they are the most relevant materials to my classes - other than ATI Reviews - and much more complete and explanatory. The cds...
You don't have enough to go on, you need to listen to breath sounds, ask the patient when the pain began, and get vital signs. Ask if the patient is using accessory muscles to breathe; if she is...
I am sorry that this is happening to you. I would think that your high GPA would allow you to transfer and more academic nursing schools would understand if you transferred, but I am still in nursing...
I started in my last year of nursing school because I didn't feel I had as much experience as the other nursing students who did do tech work. It has helped me be more comfortable in communicating...
I would say to try to stay with "your nurse" and to ignore their behavior as much as possible. If you don't have to have lunch together, then don't. There's plenty of stress enough to be taking care...
