A few more things... 1.) The students who seems super-confident may also be pretty nervous. I'll never forget during my previous clinical rotation when a fellow student who appeared to be Florence...

I think it's rude, too. I also feel like it's really unnecessary-does everyone ALWAYS have to be able to reach you? I, for one, like to "be" where I am, and if I'm at lecture/in clinical, I probably...

In many ways, I feel like nursing is like any other profession or area of life-there are positive, helpful nurses/people, and then are the not-so-positive/helpful (to put it nicely) ones. As a...

Hi everyone, I'm about to graduate in May 2010. I'm going to school in Pittsburgh and am from Ohio. Basically, I'm single, able to move wherever I want/wherever there is a job, so I've been...

For relaxing, I like stuff from Celtic Woman, Josh Groban, Jack Johnson and George Winston.

Wow...what an encouraging thing to read at this start of this new semester (insert sarcasm here) :D Honestly, though, I hope I end up being content with my career choice. I've enjoyed nursing...

Try Luna Bars...they're very healthy/natural and are supposed to be formulated to keep you full...and I really think they do. And since they're in "bar" from, you could always just bring one along...

I'll just preface this comment by saying my ideas are also FAR from foolproof, but here goes... 1.) I totally agree with what the previous poster said about doing things quickly but thoroughly....

I'm not even going to say "how often" I get sick, because the minute I do, I'll be flat on my back with another bug :chuckle However, I did have the most HORRIBLE flu in the summer-it seriously...

Here are hugs to all of you who've had rough times lately: :icon_hug: I don't have anything "magic" to say to any of you, but know that I empathize (I've had some pretty rough personal issues...

I know that you mainly said that you were looking in the NW Ohio area, but I found this list when I was in the process of trying to find externships and found it helpful... ...

Well, my stepdad has some (I think) fairly bad acid reflux that he never fully discusses with his doctor (first mistake that kind of drives me crazy....but then again his doctor only seems to do the...

I would just say to try to make exercise a priority. WAAAY easier said than done, but try to do stuff like say to yourself, "I will exercise X number of days/week" and then write that in your agenda....

I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but I do think that a well-placed coffee during a big study session (or any day when you need a lift) can be a help. By "well-placed" I mean a coffee that is consumed...

Well....I have one more final tomorrow (ethics). But unlike the previous four, I think it should be pretty easy. My OB HESI:dncgbby: is done... My Peds HESI AND final are over :bow: And Geri is...

As one of the "younger generation," I just have to say how stupid and lazy that aide's behavior was. I was a CNA over the summer, and let me tell you, I may not have been perfect but I did my job and...

I wouldn't worry too much about "learning the sayings." Once you're in the nursing program, doing clinicals, and in the whole "nursing zone," it will start to seem much more natural. Honestly, after...

Ugh...I hate waiting too! I'd much rather just KNOW my grade, whatever it is, and then deal with what my final grade ended up being, and move on. Especially since two of my finals this semester were...

I think a lot of the other advice given here has been really good...to not "push it," seem desperate for a best friend, etc. and to choose your company wisely. I'm someone who can be kind of...

Hi everyone... I know that something like this question has been posted before, but there weren't too many responses, so I thought I'd try again and see what I got... Basically, I'm just...

Gosh, I'm really sorry that you have to put up with such a stressful med surg class, but if you really want to take some sort of action, these would be my ideas... 1.) Try to gather a group...

To the OP: The world's smallest violin is playing "My Heart Bleeds For You" :uhoh3: Would it really have been too hard to give 2 weeks notice if the job was that bad? And yes, I was a CNA, too;...

Alright, so maybe I'm oversimplifying my response a little or "pouncing" on one sentence of the OP's posts/responses, but I would just like to say that regardless of WHAT you would consider my...

Well, considering how difficult it can be to make up clinical, especially depending on instructors and course coordinators, I personally would go unless I seriously, literally, totally couldn't...

honestly, it's hearing about stupid, condescending, drivel like this that just makes me want to abandon my BSN program tomorrow... i bet they don't have doctors writing pts. these notes, so WHY...
