1. PRN

   everlasting posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I am interested in working as a CNA during Nursing school. I can only work on the weekends, so I've been going some job hunting. I found a job opening that is PRN; weekend days. This may be a stupid question, but how exactly does scheduling work for ...

3. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

   everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   You can't use "I've been sick" as an excuse forever, you know. Your excuse for not doing the project was "I was sick?" Really? We've known about the project since the FIRST day of class and it's worth 25% of our grade. You've been sick for a week, n...

4. How long is your NS drive?

   everlasting replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

   It takes me about 30 minutes to get to campus. Both clinical sites (hospitals) are about 5 minutes away from the main campus, so it only takes about 35 minutes to get to clinical from my house.

   everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   Oh my wow, please stop talking! It wouldn't be so bad if you had something constructive to say but you can talk about nothing for hours! You could talk about the color blue the whole clinical day. I've never met someone who talks as much as you do...

   everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   Just because you use to be an EMT doesn't mean you know everything about nursing. Stop interrupting the teacher to chime in "Oh I did that as a paramedic" or "One time, as a paramedic..." Just Stop. Please. Why can't you ever be on time? I can't be...

7. What are your study techniques?

   everlasting replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

   What really helps me is to record the lectures. Once I record them, I upload them onto the computer, print out the power point, and take notes as I go. If I miss something important, I can just rewind and play it again. I've even put the lectures on ...

   everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   I can't believe you actually answered your phone and said to the person who called you "No, I'm not busy. What's up?" In the MIDDLE of lecture! I know how much you enjoy texting, but next time, please turn the key volume off because all I hear is ...

9. Acceptance & Denial letters and waivers

   everlasting replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Students

   At my school, acceptance letters are sent out first, followed by alternate letters and then denial letters are last. We've had people called the first day of class because someone dropped or never showed up. I couldn't imagine having such short notic...

10. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    everlasting replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same situation! We started on a new curriculum, so my class is the last one on the old curriculum. If we fail a class, we usually could wait a semester or two and retake it. Now, if we fail, we're done. We would have to reapply, and go thr...

11. Stupid Things that get you kicked out of nursing school

    everlasting replied to IvoryLena's topic in General Students

    We lost quite a few people because of the dosage calculation exam. You had to make a 90% to pass and you got one retake. There was one girl who hid flash cards in the pocket of her hoodie so she could use them to cheat during the exam. She got caugh...

12. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    everlasting replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    We lost the a lot of students during Fundamentals. I'm in MedSurg I/OB now, and I have a feeling we will lose a lot after this semester. OB is notorious for being the weeding out class.

    ^This. I wasn't responding to your post. I was referring to someone in my clinical group. Sorry for the confusion! :)

    - You have a never ending supply of black pens. - You are always broke. Always. - When your idea of fun is going to Wal-Mart and buying flash cards in every color. - When you first meet someone and tell them you're in nursing school, they tell you t...

15. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I really don't think it's the best idea to say every cuss word under the sun in front of your patient. If you mess up, or drop something, stop acknowledging it with a bunch of profanity. You come across as really unprofessional. To the people who si...
