  1. What's Your Attendance Policy?

    Here is my university's attendance and test make-up policy directly from my Mental Health syllabus from this past semester: "After 3 classroom absences (consecutive or not), a concern form will be generated and the student will need to meet with the ...
  2. One of the most frustrating things about nursing

    Sadly as humans it is in our nature to follow our own self-will and unintentionally self-destruct with our poor choices. If our patients aren't mentally and spiritually healthy than providing life saving care is almost useless and at times can make u...
  3. How To Do Cool Stuff In Clinical

    I love this post! I wish all nurses I encounter in my clinical site carried this type of attitude! I have been doing my med-surg clinical's for 8 weeks now and have yet to practice any other "skills" besides the assessment (I haven't even done a fing...
  4. I just received my clinical assignment for tomorrow and part of our clinical packet (medications and pathophysiology) has to be completed when we arrive the morning of clinicals and one of the meds listed for my patient is shown as: D5 0.045 NS + 20K...
  5. Am I the only one???

    So I start back to nursing school on January 16 and I couldn't be more excited! (our break started December 15) Mainly I'm excited to start Adult Health and Mental Health clinicals and overall to just learn more about what it takes to be a nurse! But...
  6. Do YOU enjoy nursing school?

    Well there were quite a few girls who started the program in August and continued to live their social lives as if they didn't have a care in the world...these girls also flunked out at the end of the semester! I offer no sympathy to someone who come...
  7. The Hidden Costs of Nursing School

    Hidden costs are outrageous! But I guess with school you have to pay in deep before you can start getting "real grown up" paychecks as I call them! At my school starting from the moment I first applied to the program I had to pay for: Entrance test (...
  8. Well, it's that time of year again! Time for school to start back up & the new herd of nursing students to be ushered in! I was one of those students last year & was so excited to start my first day of nursing school that I could barely sleep...
  9. Thank you for being there for me when I found out I was getting held back a year! You were probably the only reason I stayed somewhat - and it's still questionable to this day - mentally sane! Thank you for letting me randomly cry at all hours of t...
  10. What are your nursing school uniform colors?

    My school is royal blue for the top & pants with our patch on the right sleeve. We look like giant blueberries! :) But I totally agree with you about the admiration part! I'd see the nursing students walking through campus & couldn't wait to ...
  11. Help! What are you doing for income while in school?

    Begging family members for help! Seriously though save save SAVE!!! It's hard enough to do school full time & work 10 - 15 hours a week doing respite care!
  12. ADN=RN

    You do what you want! Don't let anyone sway you into it! You may regret it in the end! BUT, with that said I know that here in the KC area a lot of hospitals are strictly hiring BSN grads. Mainly because they want the nurses that have the extra educa...
  13. Depressed about student loans :(

    I would love to be in your shoes of ONLY having 37K in student loans! As of right now (3 years in to my BSN program) I have 57K trailing me. I still have 2 years to go! So i'm looking at right around 80K in debt when I graduate! So when you start to ...
  14. I need help and advice! My nursing class was recently told by our program director the day that she had a meeting with hospital big wigs in our metro area that she asked them what the job outlook will be for this year's graduating class, our class, a...
  15. How many credit hours...

    My first semester I was in Therapeutic Interventions (Fundamentals), Health Assessment, Pathophysiology, Intro to Nursing, and Missions in Healthcare. Along with those 5 classes I had lab for Health Assessment 2 days a week, and Therapeutic Intervent...
