1. An NCLEX Story

   kck605 replied to lovingpecola's topic in NCLEX

   So I shouldn't give up then! :stone I took mine yesterday morning and I've been checking the state board site all day...I am beginning to think hope is gone...it makes me feel better that you are describing exactly how I feel and you passed.

2. 12 months seems like forever!

   kck605 replied to imanedrn's topic in New Nurse

   I don't start working until the second week of June. But I am going to look at it this way. It may seem long now, but it really isn't...one year isn't that long. If you just forget about going somewhere else and focus on what you are doing, it will g...

   kck605 replied to Gdschild's topic in NCLEX

   kck605 replied to Wondergirl0905's topic in Student Assist

   I'm in the same boat...extremely bored! I can read and study for the NCLEX. But I gradaute on Wednesday and part of me just wants to wait til after that!

6. Burning Of The Uniforms.....

   kck605 replied to RheatherN's topic in New Nurse

   I love it! That had to have felt real good! LOL I actually thought about that myself. But a girl in our class collected them to donate to the incoming 1st yr students...to "pass on the misery". I actually kept a couple pairs of pants though cause I c...

7. Conflict with Another Student

   kck605 replied to allthemadmen's topic in General Students

   You should wait to see if she is in the class next fall. Then go to the dean of nursing (don't wait until she does something, that will just make the problem worse). Just let her know that you noticed this student was in the class and you wanted them...

8. Fears

   kck605 replied to ammieantonio's topic in New Nurse

   I got to start iv's on folks in the pacu. the needles were huge and we gave them lidocaine first...which helped me focus on what I was doing...not the pain of the stick.

9. Desperate Need Help from RN students who make A's and B's consistently

   kck605 replied to Txborn82's topic in Student Assist

   Okay...for myself, I never read the text unless I don't understand something or the instructor specifically says to look at the text..which has been twice this semester. That's just extra info to confuse and try to remember too much. During lecture i...

10. Gift for New Grad

    kck605 replied to JoMom4's topic in New Nurse

    My Mom bought me a nice stethoscope. But if anyone asks me what I want...I am saying money. Cause I haven't been working while in school, so between my financial aid running out and my first paycheck...I'm going to be very broke. I would talk to her ...

11. Help - classmate wants me to testify against NI

    kck605 replied to kiwilime81's topic in General Students

    Go and tell the truth... 1. you don't have direct knowledge of her case, 2. from your point of view the instructor has been reasonable. She can't hold that against you in a future rotation. Also let your friend know that you feel for her situation b...

12. Things you would LOVE to say to OTHERS about Nurisng School!

    kck605 replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Students

    You know my schedule, so why do you call me EVERYDAY when I am in class or clinical...I'm busy! Sorry, but I can't take a break from studying to get drunk. I can't spend all day doing nothing at your house just because I don't happen to have class ...

13. Don't know if I can do this...

    kck605 replied to jesskalpn's topic in General Students

    YOU CAN DO THIS! I am a single mother of a 6 yr old boy. He only goes to his dad's on weekends, so needless to say he doesn't get a whole lot of attention at the moment. I feel bad sometimes, but I know that what I'm doing is for the best. One of the...

14. What else is there to do?

    kck605 posted a topic in General Students

    We all know that is practically impossible to have a life outside of nursing school. I just had my last unit test of my last semester. Now I actually find myself with free time. I don't need to study at today, my house is clean, my son is at his dad'...

15. need help w/ head-to-toe assessment.....

    kck605 replied to cynrod's topic in Student Assist

    This is stupid, but I practiced on one of my sons very large stuffed animals over and over. And literally went head to toe. and like the others said, no skipping..it's hard to remember stuff that way...do it in the exact same order every time, even w...
