1. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

   jpearl119 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

   On my first day of clinical one of my classmates had a patient in isolation who needed blood drawn. I can't remember the type of isolation but I know it required gowns & gloves only. Anyway the RN went in to draw blood, did not gown up, NO gloves...

2. Saunders NCLEX CD running on a Mac?

   jpearl119 replied to evie_b's topic in General Students

   Wow I literally just ran into the same problem a few days ago. I thought it was because I had updated to Snow Leopard but I ended up e-mailing tech support and they told me to update my adobe flash player and adobe shockwave (which I did not think of...

3. First-semester students taking care of C. diff patients?

   jpearl119 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

   We've only been on the floor a few days and most of us have had patients with C diff, MRSA, and other patients in isolation as well. Do remember to wash your hands often as others have said and use soap and water bc that antibacterial foam doesn't ki...

4. Do anyone have advice on what to take to my first clinicals?

   jpearl119 replied to Brianna07's topic in General Students

   To my first clinical day I had TONS of stuff in my pockets. My classmates thought it was hilarious because my shirt was literally weighed down with (mostly useless) stuff. Now I just bring a small pocket notebook, my PDA (with Nursing Central softwar...

5. Overwhelmed nursing student

   jpearl119 replied to karmen87's topic in General Students

   First of all I want to agree with everyone else and say hang in there!! You still have time to bring up that average and it's great that you are recognizing early on that you may need some extra help or study time rather than waiting until it's too ...

6. Does anyone else find nursing school...HARD

   jpearl119 replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

   What I find most difficult about school is the amount of work we need to do rather than the actual material itself. The material also often takes me a while to grasp, but I feel if I didn't have so many other classes and assignments at one time it wo...

7. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

   jpearl119 replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

   I have long, whispy bangs that I've been trying to grow out so I pull them to the side, french braid them off of my face and then pull the end of the braid back in a bun. It is functional and cute and slightly more interesting than your average bun!

8. How old were you when you began nursing school?

   jpearl119 posted a topic in General Students

   Just out of curiosity - how old where you when you started nursing school and what kind of school did you go to before - i.e. high school, four year college, 2 year, etc.? Personally, I am graduating with my BA in psychology in May and entering an A...

11. Wearing scrubs to nursing school?

    Thanks everyone for clearing up the confusion there - Guess I will just have to wait for orientation and see what the specifics are for my school

12. Wearing scrubs to nursing school?

    Hi Everyone - this is my first post and my first dumb question - but I'm sure there will be many more to come! :) Anyway, I am starting an ASN program in the fall (Thomas Jefferson University) and I know it's a long way off, but do nursing students w...
