   laurab2jb2 replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

   Hello - I was inducted this past spring, along with 5 other classmates. I will be graduating Dec. 20 from a BSN program. Can't wait!

2. Associate vs Bachelor's Degrees

   laurab2jb2 replied to mihi's topic in General Nursing

   Hello mihi - I started in a BSN program (graduating in December - yeah!), but my first choice was an ADN program. The ADN program I applied to had a lottery - you got in by chance after you met the prerequisites. The BSN program had a point system...

3. crossing the line

   laurab2jb2 replied to flowergirl's topic in General Nursing

   Hello Flowergirl - I am not sure what your instructor's exact intention is regarding this question, but here's my interpretation: I think crossing the line would be disclosing too much personal information or asking too much personal information that...

4. So excited about nursing!!!!

   laurab2jb2 replied to nurseshn's topic in General Students

   Hi Nurseshn! Being what my friends call "Anal Annie" when it comes to grades, yes I was nervous, at first. I really like to see those little "A's" on my record. But, I must say, making A's does not necessarily make the best nurse. I know several c...

5. So excited about nursing!!!!

   laurab2jb2 replied to nurseshn's topic in General Students

   Welcome to the board! I agree with peaceful2100 about the NCLEX review book. I started using that before I started, and it did help to de-mystify the whole test taking thing. I also bought mysefl a really good drug calculations book to do over the s...

6. Oh crap!!!

   laurab2jb2 replied to jessjoy's topic in General Students

   jessjoy- Wow, do I understand! I basically have been having a crappy month. I'm in semester 4/5 in a BSN program, and am having a rough go of it lately. I'm not trying to brag at all here, but I am an A student in my classes, but it seems lately ...

7. Need Help

   laurab2jb2 replied to Kathylynn's topic in General Students

   Hi! I just finished my psych rotation, but have no idea what a Town Hall assignment is!! As far as the ethical part is concerned, with psych, it is pretty much like any other part of nursing (patient confidentiality, etc.), except that you are not to...

8. COST of BSN vs ADN

   laurab2jb2 replied to StudentSandra's topic in General Students

   Wow! I guess I never realized how (relatively) inexpensive my school is. I am in a 5 semester BSN program at a State University (in 4th semester now), and have estimated that I will spend $ 7200 for the whole thing (tuition, books, etc.) Not so bad...

9. introducing myself

   laurab2jb2 replied to angelac1978's topic in General Students

   Welcome! I am currently in my 4th semester of a BSN program, graduating December 19 (YEAH!). I am 37 yrs. old, with 2 boys, 17 & 11, married for 19 yrs. I started back to school slowly, taking only a few prereq classes at a time. Went back full...

10. Care plans?

    laurab2jb2 replied to CMS's topic in General Students

    Hi Carlos! I do not know of specific web sites, but you can type in nursing care plans on a search engine. I have done this before, and have gotten many good sites that provide specific as well as generic blank care plans for your use. Good luck!

11. Is anyone here in the ADN program at Ventura College, in CA? (m)

    laurab2jb2 replied to AngelicNurse2B's topic in California

    Hi there! I'm not sure if CNA is a requirement for all nursing programs in Sol Cal, but up here in No. Cal, it is not. Our ADN programs do not require it, and neither does the program I'm in (BSN at Chico State). What I do know is the I wish I had a...

12. Cadavers

    laurab2jb2 replied to StudentSandra's topic in General Students

    After reading some of the posts, I guess we were really lucky in our Anatomy class. I took the class at a junior college before transfering to a university, where each semester we had two new cadavers - one female and one male. My instructor used to...

13. How would you feel about taking care of a patient as the one described?

    laurab2jb2 replied to betts's topic in General Students

    O.K., ya'll got me on that one! This is me slinking off into the corner.............

14. Any Guys in school now?????????

    laurab2jb2 replied to Notanurse's topic in General Students

    In our class of 39 students, we have 7 males (and only 1 is gay - not a reason he's becoming a nurse!). I have had many conversations with our guys in class, and I can tell you that none of them have a problem with the male ego thing. They are as "...

    Not unless I was given a continuous infusion of Ativan!
