   watchthis22 replied to LiLcBaBy154's topic in General Students

   Oh honey, don't feel bad about that! I have completed 2 and half semesters, I work in a hospital as a student nurse (doing everything except IV Push and hang blood) and there are days I still feel lost! Every nurse I've talked to says that it takes...

2. less than 6 weeks til school starts!!!!!

   watchthis22 replied to donna64's topic in General Students

   Allnurses helped me soooo much before my first year. On the day that school started people were leaving in tears because of the overload of information. I, on the other hand, felt that I was mentally prepared, and felt confident that first day. I...

   watchthis22 replied to *lisa*'s topic in General Students

   I have 4 kids (12,10,7, and 3) and finished my first year in May (ADN). You will handle it, I promise! Although, my hubby did A LOT with the kids and around the house for me so that I could study. Just make yourself a schedule and stick to it. Do...

4. How many hours per week do you study?

   watchthis22 replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

   Oh honey...this will not work for Med/Surg!!!!! This is one CRAZY class! Seems like all I do is study, work, study, go to class, study, go to clinicals, study, sleep for 10 minutes, study some more! Better get to it before this class. There are ...

5. Are you starting IV's

   watchthis22 replied to DSplendid's topic in General Students

   A very good way to get kicked out of school is by doing something that you know you are not suppose to be doing! We can start IVs and about everything else, but our instructor has to be present...an RN on duty will NOT work! The only thing we canno...

6. Hating 'group work' assignments

   watchthis22 replied to bethem's topic in General Students

   HEAR HEAR, fellow poster! Group work is TERRIBLE!! No one submits their portion when they are suppose to, the writing is horrible, the references are never correct (and they have a book that tells them exactly how to do it!). Since most of the peo...

7. what treatment do patients who present with migraines......

   watchthis22 replied to froghair's topic in Emergency

   As a nursing student and a migraine sufferer (Hmmm...could those be related?) I appreciate ANYTHING they give me to make the pain go away! I always self medicate and try to get it under control first!!! Mostly because I don't want to sit in an ER w...

8. Help with Learning Meds

   watchthis22 replied to 4BOWS's topic in General Students

   I'm not sure that there is ANYWAY to learn all those meds!!!! If you can make up mnemonics it may help. If not FLASHCARDS!!! They are probably the best way.

   watchthis22 replied to carico's topic in General Students

   DecafMom will have to tell you about the conference as this is my first year attending. Joining your school chapter of SNA is a lot of fundraising, charity, and volunteer work. Your school may or may not give extra credit for doing some of these th...

    watchthis22 replied to carico's topic in General Students

    Nope, I think you are right, must have 2 years....but I figure after I finally finish this I'll probably NEED 2 years to recoup (sp) before I go back anyway!!!! :selfbonk: For IU I am pretty much a PCT until August when I will have med/assessement...

    The position I took is at IU hosptial, Med/Surg, but mostly Surg. I am also applying for a SNE program through Wishard (summer only) in the ER. Hopefully I get that, and I will just do both, then after August decide which I prefer. I intend on atte...

    I had the chance to see Marlene in Ft. Wayne, IN this March, but just too much going on right now. The topics she covers should great! I'm going with a guy from my nursing school. We are staying at the Peabody. I am looking forward to the convent...
