  1. You're going to think I'm nuts

    I also love nursing school as well! I have learned so much since the beginning of the term and I just crave to learn and do more everyday. I even love doing my careplan :)
  2. Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude

    That is so awesome!! I love hearing stories like these. There are some great people out there. Good luck in your program! You will do great!
  3. Pregnancy: Before or After Nursing School

    I think that it is always a difficult decision when it comes to family vs school. I was pregnant before I started my program and sadly, it ended in MC. I decided to NOT try again and go on to nursing. It was a very difficult decision, but I know how ...
  4. Positive Thinking Is Useless By Itself

    I used to be a VERY pessimistic person. I have always had faith and have always prayed but the glass half empty person was there. I also had a ton of anxiety, I would worry about this, what if that, etc. I now am a firm believer in positive thinking....
  5. My advice to the beginning RN student

    Thank you for posting this. I know a few people that are sinking in the program ahead of me and I strongly believe it is because that person is working about 12 hrs a week. That is 12 hours of extra study time. And also just not committing. Going to ...
  6. What is the average of a nursing student?

    I am 23 and my classmates range from 20 all the way to 50.
  7. Backpack on wheels..Is this really necessary?

    This is my exact dilemma as well. I am considering a Zuca bag. BUT then I think I would injure my back lifting the thing full of books in and out of the car. My other option is a good north face backpack... Ugh. I just do not know if the wheels are n...
  8. Fall 2012 Jitters!

    I know what you mean by the hyperventilating feeling. This is my first time experiencing this. My friends that are ahead are scaring the crap outta me. I like that you said to cover one thing at a time. I have a horrible habit of worrying about what ...
  9. Fall 2012 Jitters!

    I feel the exact same way! I have heard from people that it is a normal feeling but it sure feels bad. I was always super excited for nursing and now that it is just about here, I am freaking out.
  10. Summer term students

    I am taking pathophysiology and one nursing class- Epidemiology. I am SO ready for a break. I only get 2 weeks though and then start fundamentals at the end of August, I am really excited! I am going on vacation in a few weeks, so I am going to take...
  11. For profit nursing school

    I go to a for profit school. I start my core classes in August. I am very excited. I like my school a lot. It has it's ups and downs,but so does every other school out there. Do what is best for YOU and do not listen to any negativity otherwise :)
  12. Orientation(s)?

    We have one orientation and it is mandatory. We have had one clinical packet orientation and next week we have our actual Nursing orientation. I think it is a bit early though because we don't start til August 27th.
  13. The "one thing"

    My "things" are poop, badly broken leg bones (I have had knee surgery 2x and I think it comes from there) and I am thinking it will be suctioning trachs too cause it sounds yucky. I don't even change little kids diapers sooo not really sure how I wil...
  14. How do I fight off the nervousness as a New Nursing Student?

    I could have written this post myself! I am so nervous too! I start August 27th and I am freaking out. I just want to do so well and hearing how hard it is scares me to death! We should make a thread for us starting in Fall 2012. We can help each oth...
  15. advice for a soon to be west coast university student!

    Yes, I transferred in 5 classes which cut my cost down a lot. I feel you on community colleges being so packed. It really sucks. And yes, the college algebra class is pretty hard. I had the very best math instructor ever, if I may say so lol. So he m...
