2. Day in the life of a new RN Nursing student?

   Future RN- June '11 replied to IrishGrrl19's topic in General Students

   I agree! Be prepared for a whole new lifestyle. Nursing school will be your LIFE. It's fun though :) You learn so much and it will go by fast. At least for me. Just don't forget to take even 10 minutes out of every day for yourself. You have to do so...

3. Where do you put your stethoscope?

   Future RN- June '11 replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

   I have a stethoscope holder that clips onto the waste of my scrub bottoms. Works real well. Half the time it ends up around my neck though. I too see lots of nurses and docs with the stethoscope around their neck. Haven't ever heard of it being unpro...

4. Feeling overwhelmed

   Future RN- June '11 replied to doublehelix's topic in General Students

   My only advice is to do the best you can and try not to stress out too much. Ever since i started nursing school (fall '09) i have felt like that all the time. There is always too much to do with too little time. You have to just study the most you c...

6. At Your Clinical Site

   Future RN- June '11 replied to JaimeC's topic in General Students

   I had a similar experience. During my first clinical rotation in the hospital, the nurses weren't very willing to help out and seemed so relieved when they didn't have a nursing student. I have found that the more experienced you get and the more you...

7. sick! :(

   Future RN- June '11 replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

   Yeah, i usually get sick at least once per quarter and my instructors are always very understanding and allow me to reschedule or make-up missed tests, classes, clinical, etc. Talk to your instructors to see if that is a possibility- if you haven't a...

8. patient reported health history, how to cite in APA?

   Future RN- June '11 replied to pippylockstocking's topic in Student Assist

   When citing communication you had with your patient in APA 6, you use in-text citations only, like this: (personal communication, 2010). following the pharagraph with the information from your patient in it. You do not need to cite the personal commu...

10. How long is clinical prep?

    Future RN- June '11 replied to nianava's topic in General Students

    As you can see, it depends on your school. For me, first quarter clinicals were in the nursing home and we didn't have much clinical prep. We had time to look at charts an hour before taking a patient. Second quarter, clinicals were on the med-surg f...

11. Notes for Nursing?

    Future RN- June '11 replied to Stella10's topic in General Students

    You have to find a method that works for you. It took me awhile to figure out the way that works best for me. First I read the book and highlight anything I think I need to know or remember for the test. Once I'm finished reading, I go back and type ...

    Helped get me scholarships and all of my nursing school paid for! Plus it was a great experience. :)

13. How did *you* rock it today?

    Future RN- June '11 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    My clinical instructor asked for my permission to use my 12 page COPD paper I spent hours on as an "example of a well-connected pathomap". All that hard work sure was worth it :)

14. Is it worth it for me to become a CNA before nursing school?

    Future RN- June '11 replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I think it would be a very good idea for you to get your CNA license before starting nursing school. I worked full time as a CNA for a little less than 2 months before starting nursing school and I'm very glad that I did. Especially if you have never...
