3. Dreams/nightmares about nursing school?

   kizeemimi replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

   I am in my last semester and have been having those dreams all throughout school. In mine, I am usually running late to class for a test, naked with hairy legs, and then of course I don't recognize any of the content on the test.

   kizeemimi replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan

   Ok, yea, you're right. I forgot they just changed all of the requirements for admission. My class only had to take the math test, which was nice. But hopefully it will make it easier to get in now.

6. Can i have a job during the nursing program?

   kizeemimi replied to marisab's topic in General Students

   Can you? Yes. You can do anything you have to. Should you? Work as little as you are able. I am finishing up my 1st year of the program at OCC and have been working fulltime as a PCA at a hospital. I was really worried about working during the progra...

   Write them down as you're doing them. Or are we not allowed to? When I do vitals at work, I always write them down or I'll forget by the time I do each part.

   Whosurdaddy & Quarterlife, We are always hearing how mean/hard on us the instructors can be so I am kind of scared of them, though most of them seem nice so far (its only been a week, lol.) Anyway, we were in lab the other day in mini groups with...

   kizeemimi replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan

   I am honestly surprised (and a little confused) about how easy Pharm was! I kept hearing how hard it was but I found it very easy. I am wondering if it was the teacher. (I had -----------.) She gave us powerpoints and basically told us what to know f...

    Can you tell me anything about missing days? I absolutely do NOT want to or plan on it but Im just wondering what happens if you do? I looked at the Nursing Handbook, but its kind of general. My sister is getting married in FL on a Thurdsay in Novemb...

    kizeemimi replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

    I have noticed that SOME people in general, whether or not they are a patient in a health care setting, have to have it be all about them. They have to be the boss, call the shots, etc. When I have these people as patients, I let them do just that. I...

14. I'm a nurse...for animals?

    kizeemimi replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    All this back & forth arguing aside, you know what I was thinking? How in the world does a vet tech (animal nurse, etc, etc) start an IV on a furry animal??? Seeing how hard it is to start IVs on some people, can you imagine having to find a dece...

    Whosurdaddy, This is off the subject but do the teachers give many powerpoints? What is their teaching/testing style as far as book, powerpoints, etc? Are they all different? Im just trying to get an idea. Also, I know a Schoolcraft NS who says they...
