  1. End-Stage Senioritis!

    Good luck to you all graduating soon! 4 months to go for my class. Luckily, my last semester falls in summer so the length is shorter, but I know the work load is going to be cruel!
  2. Drug Cards are Lame!!

    I feel your disdain for drug cards! I type write them, then type them and I don't retain any of the information until I read them over on my own!
  3. One of my classmates just announced her pregnancy a month ago. Very fitting, since we are in our OB/PEDS section! She has every intention of finishing and she also plans on becoming a NP someday!
  4. I've wasted my spring break!

    Basically, I told myself that during Spring Break, I would say, "What nursing school?" I was fortunate to not have any big papers/assignments/reading to do over break, so it has worked out pretty well. I've slept in, read FOR PLEASURE, had movie mar...
  5. Do you have any motivational nursing quotes?

    "Act the way you want to feel" - Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home Basically, if you want to feel happier at work, start by acting happier at work!
  6. Looking back I'd wish I'd know......

    Hello all! I'm in my 4th semester, one more to go after this! I just picked up Lippincott's Q&A review. I really like it and I'm using it to help me study for my pediatric/OB tests. To the OP: Clinical is what you make it! If the floor is not bu...
  7. March Madness for nursing students!

    Ah! Yes, I do go to HGTC! They are setting up a session (I think one of the adjunct clinical instructors will be there) where we can practice anything we need to. I will definitely take a look at those DVDS!
  8. March Madness for nursing students!

    No, as long as we pass, we are considered "golden." We may have separate check-offs for the specific semester that we are in, however, to practice new skills we have learned.
  9. Hello, all! I'm a 4th semester in an ADN program. My school just initiated what they are calling "March Madness" for all of the nursing students, except 1st semester. It allows them to make sure we are all progressing and performing competently. They...

    oops!

    "You think this is bad? JCAHO was here earlier!"
  12. How in debt were you after Nursing school?

    I'm starting to get worried about that. I'll be graduating in August with my ADN and I basically just signed for my loans because at the time, I didn't have another option, no money saved up, no scholarships. Now, with my hindsight, I really wished I...
  13. The Present-Oriented Patient

    This really makes me reevaluate some of the patients I had last semester with uncontrolled HTN and worsening CHF.
  14. Ode to the New Nurse

    May I come and work with you when I graduate? : )
  15. Panic attack before work; now out of work

    I had just gotten a job in an assisted living facility. I was getting dropped off and I couldn't walk in there. I got warm, my heart was racing, my breathing increased and I felt like someone was choking me. I told my partner to circle around and we ...
