1. Nurse WWII Capes, HELP!

   the_nervous_nurse replied to the_nervous_nurse's topic in General Nursing

   No, not to work :) Just owning one and maybe wearing it in other situations. I wouldn't have any reason to wear one to work to get dirty or lost and i'd just be taking it off when I got there, anyway!

2. Nursing school is hurting my marriage

   the_nervous_nurse replied to lana1234's topic in General Students

   I am not a parent but I have a boyfriend of almost 6 years who was supportive over my associate degree and is still supportive while I earn by BSN. Many people in my class "locked themselves away" studying, unable to spend time with their family. The...

   the_nervous_nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi, everyone! So, this is a random topic, but I have fallen in love with the vintage WWII capes that nurses used to wear. I know they were probably very annoying to wear and not super practical, but they are GORGEOUS to me and I was thinking about p...

   Congrats! Same here :) I used this book that can be bought online for super cheap. Some people hate ATI; I don't ENJOY it, but I think it works based on my results! It is the ATI comprehensive NCLEX book. check it out if you're looking for resources....

7. Just passed NCLEX & am TERRIFIED

   the_nervous_nurse posted a topic in General Students

   I was at the top of my class, studying the night before exams and getting A's. I was book smart. I passed the NCLEX-RN in 75 questions. Unfortunately, while that may sound like paradise to some, it did nothing to alleviate the constant anxiety in my...

8. About to graduate and feeling incompetant!!

   the_nervous_nurse replied to RNtwinB's topic in General Students

   I took the NCLEX and passed in 75 questions in August. I had a 3.7 gpa in nursing school. I studied the night before exams (sometimes even the day, too) and managed to get medium to high A'S. And you know what? I feel less competent than the nursing ...
