   KingsMommy replied to morganv's topic in General Students

   I am going to say this and try not to sound terrible-when I give injections I remind myself of something a nurse once told me... The shot isnt going to hurt you at all. I know at first its like rude but I remember it each time because my fear came f...

2. I'm having nightmares about Med-Surg 1

   KingsMommy replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

   I just finished Med Surg 2 and while it was hard I feel like a "real nurse" now. I think that loving the science behind nursing will take you a long way because m-s is the meat of nursing school. It takes the science and applies it with real life. I ...

5. Preparing to care for my 1st patient in clinical.

   KingsMommy replied to Piggles's topic in General Students

   First of all that is awesome that you know about your patient before going in. Clinicals won't just be you thrown in to be the RN- it's about learning. Review your basics but never be afraid to ask for help- if you don't ask you won't learn- and if y...

6. Do/did you enjoy Nursing School? Or hate it?

   KingsMommy replied to Jayden8139's topic in General Students

   I love nursing school. It is the hardest thing I have ever done but also makes me feel the smartest. I never knew that I was smart enough to retain this much information or be such a critical thinker. My ride has been rough as I am in an accelerated ...

9. How many hours should I study?

   KingsMommy replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

   Learn it and when you think you know it- make sure you could teach or explain it. Thats how you know when you get it. I typically study 2 hours before class each day and 4 after. I know its excessive but I am not as fast as other people and I work so...

    Yes I am from Richmond and have lived here all of my life. Its pretty typical- the subs are cookie cutter and the city has nice areas and bad streets so you just have to be careful. I am also excited about starting and am taking Chemistry starting Ju...
