1. Worried about my nursing supplies!?

   badwolf replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

   Just ignore them and don't deny yourself the use of good equipment just to make someone else feel better. Their stuff may be fine, or they may have to double back and buy again if they aren't getting good results. Not your problem. If they could they...

2. Questions about supplies

   badwolf replied to akilah530's topic in General Students

   Unless you have gotten information from your school about their requirements, I would wait to buy anything other than your basic school supplies. They may have a certain type they want you to buy or some schools provide a lab kit with some of your nu...

3. Advice for a pre nursing student?

   badwolf replied to 1futurenurse12's topic in General Students

   A&P I for me was a lot of memorization (mostly anatomy). Flash cards and printing off diagrams to label were my best study tools. My best advice for starting college is to enjoy the new social life and friends that comes with it. However, make ...

4. Book you can't live without.

   badwolf replied to badwolf's topic in General Students

   Thanks all! I will keep these in mind when shopping for materials!

5. Last Free Weekend

   badwolf replied to rubato's topic in General Students

   This is my last free week! Like everyone else, I plan to clean and organize. When my financial aid comes through, I will shop books and supplies. I need to freeze crock pot meals, but we will see if that happens. Maybe I can get to the lake one last ...

6. Book you can't live without.

   badwolf posted a topic in General Students

   Just curious, what non-textbook have you relied on most during NS? I don't want to jump the gun and buy anything I don't need, but want to start window shopping. Sorry if this is a repeat post. Thanks guys.

7. Which Specialty?

   badwolf replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students

   I'm staying open until I have done some clinicals and worked as a CNA. All of the nurses I know say that what you think you want to do usually changes.

8. Not impressed and depressed

   badwolf replied to BitterSweetSN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know that this will sound mean, and I'm sorry. My first impression of you from the OP is that you have a chip on your shoulder and that won't get you anywhere. Be positive and let your work speak for you. As my mother says, "not everyone has to lik...

9. People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

   badwolf replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

   Has anyone else gotten "when you're a nurse I will be calling you in the middle of the night when my kid's sick" Hahaha, so funny. But seriously, don't call me.

10. Why should we pick you?

    badwolf replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    I had that question. Here is pretty much what I said: "When I decided to come back to school to be a nurse, I put my heart and soul into that goal. Since starting my pre-reqs I have worked hard and raised my GPA from a 2.5 to a 3.6. I can honestly sa...

11. I start nursing school tomorrow!

    badwolf replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    Yay! Good luck!

12. How are you preparing?

    badwolf replied to unicoRNurse's topic in General Students

    I've been organizing my office so that everything is at hand. I started this weeks ago, but for some reason everyone and their mother has decided to come visit this summer, so I hope I get done before school starts. My husband is awesome about doing ...

13. People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    badwolf replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    Haha, I haven't even started nursing school and I get this kind of stuff all the time. I was meeting friends to go on a road trip and the first thing my friend said to me, at 7am, was, "I have blood in my stool, should I be worried?" Nice to see you...

14. Is dating or flirting with an another nurse or patient is acceptable?

    badwolf replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you want to know how to keep your name clean, in any job, go to work and do your job! Don't worry about social stuff. The patient thing seems like a no-brainer to me. Socializing with coworkers (and I mean non-dating socializing), that will probab...

15. To all the students about to start nursing school...

    badwolf replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    Thanks! Like another poster said, I might have to revisit this in a few months as a reminder! Good luck on your boards!
