(we are required to maintain a 79.9 avg-based off 6 exams & a final). So I go back for round two. Failed- nursing avg of 82.5 & a [...]

So, I work in an ICU that usually receives onco post-op pts, which entails taking care of pts for a few days while they are heavily monitored, sedated and intubated. Occasionally, we do get the walky-talkies who aren't use to be so constrained by all the tubing, wires, IV poles and whatever else, and will try to get up out of bed. Most often it's [...]

Hello,

I'm at the University of South Florida, going for a degree in nursing and psychology. I've got my associate's already and will be taking my last prerequisite course before being admitted into the college of nursing.

When I was in eighth grade - roughly six years ago now - I held marijuana for a friend. I know that the story sounds too cliche to [...]

What military friendly school will accept a military medic with ten years of LPN level and nine years of clinican experience for their LPN/RN program?

I have most of my college level pre-nursing requirements completed. I'm looking to start ASAP with any accredited program that will get me back to work.

Could I bypass training and just take the NCLEX PN exam?

Thanks.

Here is my two cent philosophy about the origin of stress in nursing, which causes nurses to abuse alcohol,food,illicit activities and drugs. Caring for other human beings is a privilege and a gift from God. Which I am grateful to do for over 20 years as an RN. I feel pride in the younger people who are excited about joining the profession because they see [...]
