1. Any guys with visible tattoos?

   jillebean replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Students

   I'm female, with 6 tattoos. Only one is slightly difficult to cover. Both of my wrists are tattooed, but my watch easily covers my other. I'm happy to cover it up. I realized when I got it that, like it or not, there would be situations where coverin...

   I have a Dell Inspiron, and I love it. I've had no problems with it, it stays charged pretty well, and it's a pretty royal indigo blue :)

9. Is it illegal to force students who have financial aid to buy books from your school?

   jillebean replied to sweetiepie98's topic in General Students

   I WISH my school was like this!! We don't get our loan money until around 6 weeks into the semester!! Pell refunds come even later, which I understand because they don't have them at the beginning of the semester. It's apalling that we have to wait f...

11. ATI testing

    jillebean replied to believeallispossible's topic in Student Assist

    I love the ATI practice questions, because I get instant feedback. I hate answering all of them and THEN finding out what I made. I pretty much do as many study questions as I can. I prefer ones that offer rationales too. My advice? Do the practice t...

12. Love School/Hate Clinical

    jillebean replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    I've found that the more I go to clinical, the more confident I become. It's all about doing something unfamiliar, and even though I'm usually scared to death, I fake confidence, and I've found that once I get to do a skill on a REAL person, it all c...

13. Who has the most "gravy" RN job ever?

    jillebean replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just in my first semester, so I have a lot of learning to do, but at this point I'm interested in learning more about Hospice care. There's no telling what I'll end up doing once I actually get to experience a little of everything!

14. Really Frustrated

    jillebean replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    One of my biggest frustrations is having to get up for supplies (pen, highlighter, drug guide, review book, ect..) I bought a square plastic crate, and now before I start, I put everything I need in there, and keep my laptop close too. I've noticed t...

15. All current first semester students

    jillebean replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    So far it's gone pretty well, but I still have several things in front of me before the official end of the semester. 2 more exams, a dosage competency (must have 100%) and a foley competency. So, ask me on May 11th, finals day!! LOL
