   JanInTexas replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   First of all, to DG: so sorry to hear that the patient died. But thank you for starting the topic, for hanging in there and keeping us updated throughout the entire 20+ pages, and for letting us know the final outcome. So, brand new RN BSN here. Grad...

2. What nursing shoes do your recommend?

   JanInTexas replied to XtineRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I'm a senior nursing student. The first 2 semesters, I wore some shoes I bought in a scrub shop--don't remember the brand, they killed my feet. This semester I'm wearing New Balance walking shoes, along with some compression support hose, and it's ...

3. Hair Care

   JanInTexas replied to JanInTexas's topic in General Students

   Sandy--I'm at TWU and I like it, even though this semester is kicking my butt. We have some really good and caring instructors, good clinical opportunities, and we're learning a lot. It turns out that I didn't get to use the ideas y'all gave me. My...

4. Hair Care

   JanInTexas replied to JanInTexas's topic in General Students

   Hi Sandy--Thank you so much for the suggestions! She should be able to comb her own hair, and it would be best in more ways than what you mentioned. Unfortunately, I am no good at braiding, but there will be 8 of us on the floor tomorrow--if she wa...

5. Hair Care

   JanInTexas replied to JanInTexas's topic in General Students

   Hi Casi. The reason I'm asking the question is so I can actually be prepared to help her wash and do her hair. I will ask her how she normally does it, but I kinda needed some facts before hand. Thanks for the suggestion though.

   JanInTexas replied to JanInTexas's topic in General Students

   Oops, I forgot to answer your question. She's ambulatory, but I'll offer to wash it and condition it for her and then ask her to show me how she combs it. Thanks so much for your answer. Now I have to go do my pre-clinical research and write up...

8. Hair Care

   JanInTexas posted a topic in General Students

   I feel more comfortable posting in the student forum, since I am a nursing student. Y'all probably have the answer to my question. My patient for tomorrow is a teenaged African-American female, and of course I plan on helping her with her hygiene i...

9. I just got my TWU acceptance letter today!!!

   JanInTexas replied to nanali's topic in Texas

   This is good to know! Going by the syllabi, we only need a few books. Looking at the bookstore, there seem to be a lot more books "required" than the syllabi lists. My friends and I got kinda flustered by that and weren't sure what to do. Some of the...

10. I just got my TWU acceptance letter today!!!

    JanInTexas replied to nanali's topic in Texas

    A "sophomore" lit or philosophy class is required as a core course, but I wonder if it's just one of those classes you can take anytime before you graduate--you know we can take our Woman's Studies and Multicultural classes after we start nursing sch...

11. I just got my TWU acceptance letter today!!!

    JanInTexas replied to nanali's topic in Texas

    Making an A. Our instructor tests us on his lectures, not the book. The book is not a good read, but is a good reference. Our instructor allows taping, and some people do tape. He's a good teacher, and I think we're getting what we need.
