   2jen replied to Skiingnurse2b's topic in General Students

   I don't think I will be much help, but I am 4 weeks into my 3rd semester and 31 weeks pregnant. It has been very hard for me and I am sure it will be even harder going back in October after having six month at home with my baby but I know this is my...

   2jen replied to UjonesRN's topic in General Students

   I am pregnant and the uniforms I first bought do not fit anymore but at the beginning of each semester my school has a used uniform sale, 20 bucks for a top and pants! So thats what I did but if that wasn't an option I would have just bought regular...

   2jen replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Students

   We pick our clinical day, mine happens to be Mondays from 6:30am-7pm and lecture on Wednesdays from 730-11am. We also go on Sundays to pick our patients and make our careplans, but we can do that whenever we want on Sunday.

5. Need Help Wife is about to give up

   2jen replied to SimonJester's topic in General Students

   For some people taping the lecture helps so they can fill in any missing pieces of the notes later. Do you know if her teacher allows for her lectures to be recorded?

6. Possible causes of low H&H?

   2jen replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

   Well, I will give it a shot! The body needs a few days to reproduce RBC, and if there are not enough of those then the Hct and Hgb will both be low causing anemia. The patient may have had a bleed before the surgery which would have also decreased ...

   2jen replied to joliemolie's topic in California

   Yeah, with Saddleback as long as you get an A in physiology, microbiology, anatomy and english 1A you should be guaranteed a spot. As Asherah said, you get more points for taking the classes at saddleback and for having a higher GPA. If I remember ...

    2jen posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone, I hope school is going well for you!! I started my second semester (of a 4 semester program) last week and I can't seem to get motivated to study. With my first semester all I did was study and I actually enjoyed it. I was surprised...

13. Underwear and white scrubs?

    2jen replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

    I am just curious how the type of undergarments worn can be called unprofessional? I don't understand how schools can even have the right to check undergarments. I wear a nude colored thong from victoria secrets with my white scrubs because that is...
