Hey everyone, I’ve been a nurse for a little over six years now and to be honest I’m a little embarrassed to even be asking for advice about how I’m feeling. I started off in med surge as a new grad nurse and did that for about two years before I dec...

I’ve been thinking about trying to transition into nursing informatics. I wouldn’t have to be a bedside nurse anymore and I can help nurses with computer charting that I may know more about since I was a travel nurse and have at least used other EMAR...

Everybody, I truly need your thoughts and help. I have been a nurse now for close to three years. I feel so miserable and depressed every time I have to go into work, and I know that my entire life should not feel like this. Isn’t there a way to be h...

No matter what anybody tells you... DO NOT pay money for Kaplan. It was of absolutely no use or value when taking the NCLEX. You can go online and find the only one good thing it has to offer which is the decision tree. You don't need to pay 300 doll...

Just a very quick question for any of you who have taken and passed your NCLEX the first time around. I just accepted a job offer at a hospital as a new grad nurse and will be taking my NCLEX sometime around mid June. I really don't have enough money...

Kl1528sd, thanks for letting me know. How did you do on the NCLEX, how many questions did you pass in?

MamiLuv, thank you so much!!!

How much do the actual Hurst Videos cost though? I can't really afford much more.

I need some advice because I am scaring the crap out of myself. I am in my last semester of nursing school and will be graduating with my BSN in two months. The only problem is I completely BOMB my HESI Exit each time I take it. I'm not even close to...

Thanks Kuriin!!!

Thank you for the advice!!

Thanks for the kind words Snees46. I have an overall GPA of a 3.49 right now, and have all A's in this last semester which would bring my GPA up to around a 3.55-3.6 at the end of the semester, however, if we do not pass the hesi exit on our third at...

The only reason the HESI scares me is because according to the test I'm weak in all areas....... I mean, that pretty much has to be the case with scoring in the 600's.

Aceofhearts, thank you so much for the advice. Snees46, it is just an indicator of where I stand for the NCLEX, but obviously I'm not in a good position according to the HESI Exit. It is really strange for me though, because every time I take the pre...

So, I am now in my very last semester of my BSN program, and now is the time that I am preparing for the NCLEX as well as creating a solid resume to apply for jobs. The problem is, I feel VERY inadequate and not confident at all in what I have "suppo...

hahaha, thanks Matt

Wow, thank you all so much for this feedback. It really means a lot to me. If I get as much support on the job as I do from all of you I should be in great shape. I'll always look for the information or procedures myself first, however knowing when t...

I really appreciate your knowledge on this subject. It really does make me feel a bit better and gives me a bit more confidence.

This has definitely been one of my issues in the past for sure. You hit the nail right on the head. I want to ask questions but most of the time I feel as though we are penalized for asking questions even though we are told to ask questions. If you a...

Thank you Ihflanurse!!!!

Thank you Boomer MS, that means a lot. I'm not familiar with Patricia Benner's description of the phases but I will check them out. Believe me, I really hope I get a good preceptor too. That's all I have been wanting. I want to learn without feeling ...

I really appreciate all of your viewpoints. All of them are helping to make a better and more real outlook on what is to come. Also, thank you Sour Lemon for mentioning that. Never would have even thought about the picture needing to be changed.

Hello, looking for work. Thanks for the reply. I live in Michigan, and I am hoping to be able to get a job in Grand Rapids, MI once I finish nursing school. I keep hearing about how much nurses get treated horribly, and I know it will happen to me fo...

So, I have a very important question for those of you who made it through nursing school already and have found the key or key's to a truly successful, informative and very knowledgeable career as a nurse. I am currently in my 5th semester out of 6 i...
