Andra Alyse

My name is Andra Alyse and I am a dedicated ICU nurse who loves to empower nursing students and fellow colleagues to reach their fullest potential during school and in the healthcare setting. While in school, I created multiple resources that helped me graduate with honors from my BSN program, and I strive to help other students and nursing professionals succeed in all things nursing! With my thorough study materials, it made studying for the NCLEX much less stressful and I was able to pass in one attempt with the bare minimum of 75 questions (back when that was the minimum)! I want to see the nursing profession continue to expand and provide excellent, competent care. Throughout my first 12 months in the ICU, I pushed myself hard and dedicated many hours toward preparing to take the CCRN exam. In July 2020, I was able to well exceed the minimum required score for certification which allowed me to become board certified as a Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN) at a mere 13 months post graduation. After working for a couple of years, my goal is to tackle more cardiac cases and obtain my cardiac medicine and surgery certifications. After that my sights are set on pursuing nurse anesthesia school! I love caring for my patients, improving the healthcare setting, and enhancing their overall experience. I have always enjoyed helping fellow nursing students and professionals. My hope is to continue providing resources to current and future nursing students in order to better the profession and create more competent graduate nurses!

Well, you've gotten this far in your nursing program...but nursing clinical rotations can bring on a whole new realm of anxiety for students. Those jitters likely won't disappear for the next clinical rotation or the one after that, so in this article, I want to outline a typical day in a nursing clinical rotation to help you understand what to expect, feel more in control and prepared, and feel less anxious. We'll discuss what happens right before your clinical day begins, the typical course of the clinical day, and what happens afterwards.
I want to pass this on. I did not write it, but it is worthy of a moment of your time. We feel this in our bones:
Some potential nursing school students work in medical fields that may leave them wondering if that experience is beneficial or detrimental. In this article, I want to explore the different reasons as to why having medical experience may help or hurt your chances for success in nursing school. Let's jump right in and begin with the ways it can be harmful to have prior medical experience when entering nursing school!
Studying for your CCRN exam? Worried about knowing your medications? Look no further! This bundle of flashcards includes 80 of the most commonly prescribed and administered medications in CRITICAL CARE areas. Find the link in our story and bio! On sale for a limited time only!
I feel this one BIG time. I’ve been working on getting through my own burnout, but it is taking a lot of effort, dedication, time, and patience.
People don't tend to come to the hospital when they're healthy. So as nurses, let's face it, the patients we take care of are often suffering and it can be difficult to manage their suffering throughout their stay. There are many simple interventions that can be performed to help ease the pain, discomfort, anxiety, and overall suffering a patient may be experiencing while in the hospital and nurses are at the forefront of implementing those interventions and advocating for their patients. In this article, I want to take time to discuss some of the things you can do...whether you're a student or are already a nurse...to make support your patient in the best way possible. Let's dive in!
