  1. Do you have a specific study method?

    [quote name=Paint Sometimes I will use the patio doors and windows in my house as substitute white-boards and draw all over them with dry wipe markers. I had the Renin-angiotensinogen system scribbled all over my patio doors for weeks once... [/q...

  5. Dealing with Stress

    My alarm clock already has two separate alarms on it, but I went out and bought another cheap one for $10 and put it on top of my TV so that I physically HAVE to get out of bed to shut it off, PLUS I use my cell phone's alarm, too. If I really don't ...
  6. Drumroll please!

    Awesome Job!!! I'm in my last weeek of a Kaplan reveiw course and will (hopefully!) be right behind you within the next couple of weeks or so. Go celebrate; you deserve it!!!!! :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloo...
  7. Anniversary ring (unrelated to nursing)

    Girlfriend, you keep that ring!!!!!! You're always gonna owe money on something; you might as well pay it off with some bling bling on your finger! :chuckle
  8. I Feel Like A Complete Moron

    I'm not sure what semester you're in, but I'm graduating in December and I have never straight cathed a pt or drawn blood, have only inserted one foley (during OB), and removed one foley (at work, which had nothing to do with school). There is only o...
  9. im realizing the sleep loss

    I don't suggest it for everyone, but I have gotten through 4 semesters so far by taking No-Doz caffiene pills *SPARINGLY* (which means NO MORE than one per day). Desparate times call for desparate measures, especially during exam time! Then after my ...
  10. Number of years the local community college told me I had to wait before starting their program: 5 Number of years it took for them to tell me they had a spot available: 3 Number of years my current program is: 2.5 Number of semesters left: 1 Differ...
  11. I did the same thing (private school) and pay just close to $20,000/year. I think nursing school is worth it no matter how much you pay. That being said....I love loans!
  12. Got in... now how to tell my work?

    I agree. If you don't tell her now and a problem arises later on, she may be even more upset with you. And why is she getting so bent out of shape because you want to go back to school? I thought all the hospitals were encouraging this?!? I guess it ...
  13. Pilates, running, and lots of water. Makes me not feel so guilty for being addicted to Starbuck's Frappucinos (those are like MY cocaine! :chuckle ) I allow myself one can of pop per day (unless I have an exam, and then my whole plan goes down the ...
  14. Katrina

    It's nice to hear stories like that. They are actually transporting 150 evacuees to the Tinley Park Mental Health Center (part of which is shut down and vacant) sometime this week and they are looking for volunteers. A bunch of girls from school are ...
  15. How do you organize for first year students?

    To organize for your classes, get a 3-ring binder (1.5" - 2" seem to be the most common by me) and a 3-ring hole puncher. I cannot stress the hole puncher enough. We get sooooo many handouts that it would be impossible to keep them in a separate fold...
