3. Runaway train and I can't get off!

   lisakw70 posted a topic in General Students

   At least, that's how I feel, LOL! It's getting to be the downhill slide to the end of the semester and it seems like everything is gaining speed rapidly. All of the big papers and competencies are coming due soon, on top of all of the exams. Yikes! ...

4. first Mother/Baby clinical for a male nurse

   lisakw70 replied to Terry USM's topic in General Students

   I also had a male student nurse when I had my first child. I was asked whether I would be comfortable with the situation and I was completely fine with it. My OB was a man, so why would a male nurse bother me? As long as the patient is okay with t...

5. HELP! PDA/Palm Pilots are they helpful?

   lisakw70 replied to smk1's topic in General Students

   I love my palm! I have the Tungsten E2 and I have it loaded with a Nursing Diagnosis software (the name of it is eluding me right now), Taber's, Davis Drug Guide and Mosby's lab values software. I use it all the time in clinicals. And I buy all my ...

   lisakw70 replied to kenheather's topic in General Students

   I know exactly how you feel! I have five kids, my husband is on the road way more than he is home, and I'm taking 16 hours this semester. I don't feel like I have any real time left to give to my kids. Our "together time" is spent with them play...

   lisakw70 replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

   Well, I wasn't really planning on "working" as one since I can barely find time to brush my teeth now, LOL! But in order to certify, I would have to attend three births and I don't know if I could find them around here. Would it be helpful to just at...

8. OB wannabes UNITE!

   lisakw70 replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

   Me! I'm hoping to go into L&D after graduation, but that won't be until May 2008. I eventually hope to get my CNM though. That was the main reason that I decided to go into nursing in the first place. I've thought about becoming a doula, but ...

9. Students... hobbies?

   lisakw70 replied to tutusandfrogs's topic in General Students

   I have five kids and my husband travels for work (6 weeks at a time, then he comes home for a week and he's off again), so between my family obligations and school, I'm lucky I get to shower, LOL!

10. What are you rushing to finish for tomorrow?

    lisakw70 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm rushing to finish an assessment paper on the upper and lower extremities for Health Assessment. I don't know why I continually put this stuff off until the last minute. It's due in the morning at 9:05. I also have a couple of chapters to fini...

11. Clinical Outfits

    lisakw70 replied to Golden_Clover's topic in General Students

    We wear royal blue scrub pants and tops (we have the choice of zip up or pull over tops) with either a matching cardigan type jacket or white lab coat. We wear our school patch on the left arm. Shoes must be all white with a closed back. When we do c...
