   browneyedgirl71 replied to R*Star*RN's topic in NCLEX

   Hang in there! The wait is terrible and it really makes you second guess yourself. I took the test and California and had to wait 6 days due to the holiday weekend. I also was unsure of how I did, and all I knew was that I was done and I had 75 qu...

   Clara - I feel that we are in the same boat! Everything you said you your posts I could relate to. Yesterday when I left the test, I was happy because it was done and relieved it was only 75 questions. Now I'm second guessing myself. Definitely l...

7. Question about clinicals??

   browneyedgirl71 replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We got to choose everything...professor, hospital, pt, day of the week. Once we were at the hospital, our professor picked the floors, but then rotated us after a couple of weeks.

8. ATI Testing is BS!

   browneyedgirl71 replied to TsavarenaRN's topic in General Students

   I think ATI is a waste of time. In no way do I feel that it really gages your knowledge! We have to take them at our school and they use them to determine if you will be successful at passing the NCLEX...whatever!

9. Question about nursing school and shots

   browneyedgirl71 replied to CNAtoRN2b06's topic in General Students

   Yup, we gave each other SQ and IM injections while the instructors were supervising. We were all nervous, but in the end, everyone felt good about getting their first shot out of the way. Personally, it really helped my self confidence before I sta...

11. help...how can i stop being nervous when giving an injection?

    browneyedgirl71 replied to Liz21's topic in General Students

    We had to give each other IM & Subcut. shots. Now that I'm in clinical, I'm so glad that we did because it does help out with the nerves. I think most of us freaked out over the IM just because of the size of the needle. The one thing I have l...

12. What's your Littmann stethescope of choice?

    browneyedgirl71 replied to dano's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I'm in my first semester and I love my classic II SE. It works well for me. Most people in our class have the classic II SE, but some do have the cardiology one and they love it. I would test them both out to see which one works best for you :)

    browneyedgirl71 replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in California

    I used to live about 10 miles from Santa Rosa. I love Sonoma county!! It has grown a lot in the past 5-10 years though. It's mostly country out there and when you drive on the freeway you see lots of cows, horses and vineyards. Sorry I can't g...

    browneyedgirl71 replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Our program requires it before clinicals start. Also, it has to be CPR for Healthcare Providers....the card is good for 2 years!
