1. Helping a classmate

   TheAmazingMrsA replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

   You know what, I give up. I left allnurses a while ago because everyone was so negative, and I'm beginning to realize that coming back was a mistake. My classmate is my friend. She was my friend before NS and she'll be my friend long after. She di...

2. Papers

   TheAmazingMrsA replied to Happy_RN123's topic in General Students

   Does your school have an English/Writing center? A lot of schools offer drop in help with writing papers and research. If that's not an option, find out who in your class is good at papers and have them proof read. Or, consider asking a professor ...

3. Helping a classmate

   TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

   I'm in my second quarter of nursing school, and doing way better than I ever imagined. Today we had our third test of the quarter, which is considered the hardest test thus far, and I came out of it with my best grade yet. As excited as I want to b...

4. Looking back I'd wish I'd know......

   TheAmazingMrsA replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in General Students

   I wish I had known that first quarter isn't nearly as scary or as hard as they lead you to believe. My first quarter was so hyped up that I nearly had a panic attack before my first exam. When I realized that the exams were no harder than my physio...

5. Please help!! nursing significance of abnormal chest xray

   TheAmazingMrsA replied to rowens's topic in General Students

   Not sure what you're asking for with "nursing significance". Are you looking for nursing diagnoses to go with COPD, because you just need to look up NANDA diagnoses if that's what you're looking for.

6. Role Plays - Need some help thinking a few up

   TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

   I have to come up with role plays on advocacy for a communication class. I have a few, but I'm running short on ideas. I've Googled as many as I can, but I need nursing related ones. I just need basic scenarios for two people to act out. Anyone h...

7. Losing my mind with clinical paper expectations

   TheAmazingMrsA replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

   hodgieRN, I appreciate the comment, but in my case it's not a scholarly paper. It's a clinical paper used to document our assigned residents. Which means, I cannot share it with anyone but the instructor and I'm not even allowed to talk about the c...

8. Heads up to all nursing students, from recent grad.....

   TheAmazingMrsA replied to lilarox's topic in General Students

   I don't mean to be rude, but do we seriously need another thread about how we're all screwed for jobs? The program I'm in has excellent job prospects, with almost all of the current graduating class having jobs lined up. Maybe take your location in...

9. Losing my mind with clinical paper expectations

   TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

   I'm a rule follower. I check and double check instructions and make sure my papers conform to whatever it is the instructors want from us. However, it seems that ambiguity is a rule when it comes to clinical papers. We have to write one a week, an...

10. Livescribe Pen: To Buy or Not to Buy

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to bdicenzo's topic in General Students

    Before you buy make 100% sure you can record lectures. My school allows recording EXCEPT for the nursing program. In all of my nursing classes recording buys you a one way ticket out of the program. They have the rule due to professors sharing person...

11. Is your Facility 'forcing' you to get the Flu Vaccine?

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to madwife2002's topic in COVID

    This is one of those arguments that will never end and will always have people on both sides of the fence. I'm still in NS, and was required to get the flu vaccine to even participate in a clinical setting. However, once graduated there is no way I...

12. Cleaning Watch for Clinical

    TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

    I've quickly becoming a germaphobic after listening to all the rationale about why you should never wear your scrubs out of a clinical setting, ever wear nail polish, or even rings during patient care, etc. With that said, I'm struggling to find a s...

13. What kind Stethoscope I buy???

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to akilah530's topic in General Students

    I splurged and got a cardiac one and the sound quality is phenomenal. If you can spare the extra cash, it's totally worth it.

14. Wheeled backpack

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to ko115's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Ko115... wasn't trying to be rude by my comment. However, from the perspective of someone who reads the forum every day... there were literally four threads going at once about rolling backpacks; it was a bit much.

15. Favorite Words

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to Aimee2013's topic in General Students

    Okay, it's not my favorite word... but a little girl I used to nanny came down with rubella and she thought it was the most beautiful word ever. She keeps saying she wants to name her future daughter Rubella. I strangely like words ending in -dermal....
