   grace_lorraine87 replied to greatestsummerever's topic in General Students

   i agree, he's totally acting childish. there are two girls in my lab who are 19-20 at best (straight out of HS when they started). if i'm having a conversation with someone about meeting up to study they snicker and roll their eyes. is this high scho...

3. Advice on Microbiology

   grace_lorraine87 replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing

   they're being honest, because that is a very bad attitude to have, especially for the field you're going into. they'll kick you right out of clinicals.

4. A Day In The Life Of A Nursing Student

   grace_lorraine87 replied to aoyak's topic in General Students

   I'm sorry, but I don't see how your lack of a similar experience gives you the right to suggest she consider another career. To be frank, that's very rude and inconsiderate of you. She acknowledges the challenges of nursing clinicals, but takes them ...

   Me too! I also categorize my highlights haha. I have a color for principles, terms of importance, homeostatic imbalances and things mentioned specifically by prof for tests/clinicals!

7. I'm turning 25 soon and I want to be a nurse, am I kidding myself?

   grace_lorraine87 replied to christinem2388's topic in Pre-Nursing

   girl, it's never too late for ambition and education! i'm 25 as well, but i started a year ago. there are women in my class who are mid-forties, which is great! i've had women in my previous classes who are returning to school after their kids left h...

8. Almost passed out during clinicals!!

   grace_lorraine87 replied to fm1089's topic in General Students

   that B was just being rude and likes to put people down. i'm sorry she said that. my RN friend told me to always have a good breakfast with protein and iron (sprouted bread, egg whites, oatmeal, some kind of green and WATER!). the lack of sleep will ...

    grace_lorraine87 replied to grace_lorraine87's topic in Technicians

    I'm not sure what they make, but I was hoping/assuming it was more than minimum wage, which is what this job is. I haven't worked minimum wage in years, and I can't afford it. That's why it concerned me when I found out what would be required of me.

12. doing the work of a CNA at a lesser pay

    grace_lorraine87 replied to grace_lorraine87's topic in Technicians

    Hey, that's not nice! It's just I was wondering if I shouldn't be doing it because it might require things I'm not familiar with, even though the family and my manager specified some of it. Yes, being someone who is working two jobs and still in scho...

13. doing the work of a CNA at a lesser pay

    grace_lorraine87 posted a topic in Technicians

    I'm a first year nursing student. I just got a job as a one on one caregiver for seniors. Some of the cases require CNA quality care, which, I've mostly been trained for, but I am in no way certified. Some cases also require basic care, which could b...

15. Getting over being "grossed out"

    grace_lorraine87 replied to grace_lorraine87's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I can totally sympathize with the kids experience. I'm not a mom, but I've worked in pre-schools for awhile and gotten very personal with pretty much any fluid in and out of these kids haha.I think that when it comes down to you dealing with it first...
