SEARCHING PAST NURSING BLOGS

This is an FYI post for all of you visitors to this blog. You are able to easily subject search all of the past nursing blogs (links on the right) by using the blog search box found at the top of each blog. Type in a key word ex. "PDA" and it will bring up every post that has this key word mentioned in the title or anywhere  in the body of every past post from the creation of the blog. You type this same word into each and every past nursing blog to find all of the jewels that have been posted by all of the previous nursing classes. Remember that we have all "been there and done that" before you and have much to offer to help you in your nursing journey. 
Examples of good key words are, N7 exam, practice questions, cardiac, respiratory, ABG, EKG, SNA, NCLEX, help,  video, etc. 

Another way to look for help for your current classes is to search the previous blogs by the same semester that you are in. For example, if you are currently in N7 and are looking for all of the help you can get, search the archives of the previous blogs during their third semester. Look at the time that they were pinned and count backward by the month, or count forward from the time they started the program. If you for example are in your 3rd semester 2nd month, which happens to be Feb or Sept (depending on wether you are to pinned in the spring or fall), look in the previous blogs under these same months and you will see their posts looking as if they are in your class right now. It is a great help to use all of the helps that are out there for you. Why re-invent the wheel?

So..... Happy Hunting Everyone!
