  1. Shy Student Nurse Advice...

    I have stopped worrying about this issue about 10 years ago. I don't care what people think about me. I am an introvert, always have been and always will be. I am happy with my internal-self and embrace it. There is no one else like me and for tha...
  2. Good day...bad day

    So... I got up at 0500 this morning, in good spirits and ready to begin a new week. My second week of nursing school. I hopped out of bed and headed downstairs to start the coffee and toast, plus feed my pets. Went back upstairs and ate my breakfast ...
  3. To speak or not in class

    Speak up! Without sounding totally insensitive here because that is not my intention, but do what is best for you and try not to let what others think affect you. They may all have the same questions you do and are too afraid to say something. If y...
  4. What was the first thing to go?

    Select ALL that apply. a. sleep ✓ b. showers c. dishes ✓ d. date nights ✓ e. exercise ✓ f. sanity ✓ Not bad. 5 out of 6 apply. Do I get a cookie? I will have several of these types of questions on my first major exam in about a week.
  5. What are the cases that could be done in a Day Surgery Unit

    Would plastic/cosmetic surgery fall under this too? I know some plastic surgeons (in my area at least) have their own day surgery centers. Also, is it common for new grads to get hired at these day surgery places or are they better off starting in a...
  6. Tired, moody, brain-fried. Did I mention tired?
  7. What shoes are you getting for clinicals?

    White ones.
  8. Do you make friends with others in your nursing program?

    I like my classmates. Everyone is nice and friendly and helpful, they are great. They really are. :) But, I am not too trusting right now. It is still too soon, and still too early for me to get personal. My class has 40+ students right now and...
  9. How Do You Get Motivated?

    Graduation. That's my motivation.
  10. Calling graduating class of 2014!

    Troll much
  11. First day reality check

    ^ what Rainbow said. I heard plenty of this on the first day. I'm not letting it phase me. Don't let it phase you either! You gotta do, what you gotta do.
  12. Should I be scared that I'm not scared?

    I start school in two days. And, honestly, I am not as scared as I thought I would be. I am totally fine and calm. I feel very well informed of what to expect this coming week. Is this normal? I like my instructors, my classmates are great, I feel pr...
  13. The rolling backpack debate

    I bought a roller! I have a favorite bag which has served me well for many classes, but it just can't hold up to my needs. I put all the things I needed to put in it for the first day of class, and almost broke my shoulder and my bag! Yeah.... S...
  14. ^^ most definitely.
  15. My day in the life will entail this: MY FIRST DAY - 9/4/2012 0500 - Wake up - Hit the snooze button once, click on the TV and watch for 15 minutes as I force my eyes open to wake myself up before slugging out of bed. No, I am NOT a morning person!...
