confessions of a confused nursing student
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 23:59:05 -0700
Two years ago, our highschool guidance counselor (back in Ateneo de Iloilo), called my attention. She told me to come in her office for a quick discussion about something. I arrived. She asked me to sit and then she began to talk. She briefed me about college, and the life that I am about to experience after graduating highschool. At some point, she asked me what course will I take. I said, I am planning to take up either Political Science (for my pre law) in UP, or Business Economics in Uni
Celebrating Nurses Day
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 23:18:19 -0700
In the UK we don’t tend to have a whole week celebrating nurses and nursing, but rather just the day. That day is today the birthday of Florence Nightingale, and let us just say this is pretty low key. Professions go through different patches in terms of popularity and whether those who are part of it are worthy. My assessment would be that nursing is going through a rocky time right now as it attempts to find its place. Traditionally nursing has been seen to be about caring, about providing a
Scholarship Program for Nurses

High school graduates who are thinking of taking up a course in nursing would have an opportunity to have their four years of college education subsidized. This is possible through the initiative of the Development Bank of the Philippines Endowment for Education Program (DEEP). The DBP launched this program to guarantee that the Philippines would have sufficient number of competent professional workers that will have opportunities in both local and global employment arena.

Stayed Here Recently - Review Of Hurst House By Nonnie_139

I’ve heard mixed responses and I am not sure if this is the best route to prepare for my NCLEX exam. I do use all the ATI information I have available however, the Hurst review committee spoke to our nursing class and made it sound almost necessary in order to pass the exam. It’s pretty spendy to register so I was wondering if anyone had any feedback regarding the review. Thank you very much. My University pushed the Kaplan review on us, and it was very costly as well.

Travel nursing checklist item #10
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 18:16:50 -0700
Sorry it has taken me awhile to get back to this, but things have been pretty hectic the last couple of months. OK, so you have all your paperwork lined up and organized. You have done your research and spent time online looking at all the different companies. You’ve compared what they offer to what you want out of a travel nursing job. The next step then is to actually apply online for the travel nursing job you want. You can also call the company right off the bat, but I will cover that late
Progression policies
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 17:46:10 -0700
I continue to be contacted by students, lawyers, and (rarely) faculty members about progression policies. I am actually quite happy when students call because that tells me these folks are critically thinking. Most of them tell me they have found my articles in research databases and want to talk about the results. I am very happy that students, when they have questions, are going to the literature to look for answers. This is a great change from what we see reported in the literature that nurs
My Nursing Graduation
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 17:30:28 -0700
Last Thursday, May 8, 2008 was our graduation ceremony. It was supposed to start at 2:00 pm but they had us wait outside for more than 2 hours before they started the march. But I didn't really wait that long. I took a couple of pictures outside with Marge and my mom and quietly lined up. I came inside half past 3 because I couldn't take it anymore. I had my hair and makeup done and it was so hot outside that it was all ruined by that time. When it was almost 4, my dad, mom and brother wanted t
