1. Bad Day at Clinical

   Kaybee24 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

   Advice my profs gave before we started our clinical, don't take anything negative from patients or nurses personally. Working any job it's hard NOT to take things personal, sometimes people say things to you that just wanna make you say ***** But t...

2. Where can I find grey's anatomy scrubs in the west Houston area?

   Kaybee24 replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

   In NW houston, I've seen them at a Med Supply store on 1960 and Steepletop near Cyfair Hospital behind Amegy Bank. There's also a scrub shop called Uniform Destination at the Houston Premium Outlet in Cypress maybe give them a ring? Not for sure th...

3. Clinicals

   Kaybee24 replied to danger turtle's topic in General Students

   We get assigned to a nurse who has about 4 patients, I can pick which patient I want to do my paperwork on. It's nice because I get to chose, I don't have to have the elderly patient on a thousand meds. For my program for our first semester at clin...

4. Your advice for the HESI A2

   Kaybee24 replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in General Students

   My school only required the 3 like you mentioned. But it definitely sounds like you have the right plan. Study guides and memorizing conversions will really help you. Only slightly helpful thing I could suggest is earplugs. It's an important test...

5. Who else is starting their 2nd semester tomorrow..

   Kaybee24 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

   I don't start until next week, but I feel you. It's been nice having a break and I'm kind of dreading having to get back into the swing of things. But I'm hoping that by the time that school really does start I'll just fall back in step. Good luck ...

6. Skills Lab kit

   Kaybee24 replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

   Our nursing kit was included in tuition and we had to select our bp cuff and steth on our own. Our kit came with more than enough stuff and I still have plenty of that stuff left over. Came in handy when you wanted to practice at home instead of go...

8. First Quarter of Nursing - Helpful tips/advice?

   Kaybee24 replied to Jojii's topic in General Students

   Study more than you think you need to and resist the urge to put things off. Being organized helps a lot. I'm a hardcore former procrastinator and fortunately got over it before I entered nursing school. I just remember the preparation I do before...

10. Should you buy new or used books for your program?

    Kaybee24 replied to TurtleLittle's topic in General Students

    Used and older editions FTW. Buying older editions saves a ridiculous amount of money, Dosages Calculations by Pickar? The bookstore wanted 80 bucks, I bought the 7th edition for 5 dollars including the shipping. Same with my pharm book, it was li...

    Kaybee24 replied to Kyla.ann's topic in General Students

    All the tech suggestions are good I love my laptop and ipod touch. It's nice to have all your email forwarded to a mobile device because you'll never miss an email from your professor. I love my laptop because every class is web-enhanced. MS Oneno...

12. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    Kaybee24 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas

    The first week went well, I think everyone was overwhelmed but by now starting to hit a groove. There's a lot of reading as you can probably guess, but they were nice enough to give us a reading list before class started. If your lucky they'll do t...
