I used to say that my favourite quote was from Legally Blonde "exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, happy people don't kill other people"----- BUT, only after seeing Patch Adams...

It's that time. I'm 3 months away from my national licensing exam (eek!) and every 2nd person I meet or that hasn't spoken to me in a while asks "so where do you want to work?" (where=what kind of...

People here talk about the great and amazing nurses they encountered--- I'm the opposite. My grandmother was hospitalized in a geriatric rehabilitation ward, had a tracheostomy and a colostomy. A...

I was just being nostalgic and thought about that moment with a patient that really made me realize that I can make a difference. I was in my 2nd year of my BSN, and I was on the Oncology ward. I...

Nothing helped me. My first year sucked.... I got the hang of it in my 3rd year of my BSN.

Yes, thank you.

Everyone screws up... My big mistake was throwing my smock in the regular rubbish and not the "contaminated" one--- and it was the cleaner who told me off! but, I learned from it--- and my respect...

I'm looking through a powerpoint presentation, and the instructor wrote "Hickman and PICC 2 ml of 20 U Heparin to "wash" (English is not the language i'm taught, so i'm translating here) in a child...

I'm curious, does anyone else have to study how to deal with a chemical / biological / nuclear attack? I swear this is the 4th time i'm taking a test that somehow includes this stuff in the reading...

I wish my university had sim labs... they don't have the money for it. We just have the regular labs with empty beds, not robotic patients. I completely agree that it would be more constructive to...

I really believe that making a class take the same test right after another class already did it is extremely stupid of the administration. Cheating? I don't know.... but I agree with the above...

We start here in two weeks. First up is my pediatrics clinical *gulp*

September 2013 (4yr BSN program)... *drumroll please*

I don't understand why this post was moved. Asking about an Iphone in the general nursing student forum seems right. If things are moved to very specific places, people won't read them. Less people...

I posted a youtube video on the subject. part 1 for overview and mnemonic, part 2 for specific function. Hope this helps. part 1: How to remember Cranial Nerves part 1 - YouTube part 2: How to...

Practicing over and over again calms the nerves. Because that way you remove or at least diminish the emotional part of the stressor- and you can become a calm thinking machine. If you want to try...

Hi, I understand that you are feeling that everything we learn will somehow happen to you. That is because all you see around you in the hospital is usually on the sick end of the spectrum- i mean...

Here are my weird study tips that help me: 1. DRAW a process out. things become more clearer when it's not just about memorising a paragraph - also, by drawing you are reinterpreting the information...

I'm going into my 4th year of a BSN program and every year I like to set goals for myself, sort of a guide for the year. This years goals are: 1. Finish nursing school (yay!) with an average of 85~...

That's awsome! The only way that my university grants more time is if you have a learning disability (documented). A lot of students pay for the ADHD test etc' just for the extra time. My anxiety...

In my country, I heard that you need an 80 average BSN and an interview to be accepted, however the top MSN program demands an average of 85 BSN and an interview.

1. Going into my 4th year of a BScN program, i've found a really helpful stress reliever during exams: If i'm in the library from 8am (meaning i get up at 6:30) until about 7:30pm, and I get home by...

Can you be more specific? what do you mean by nursing videos? there are a ton of things like starting IV's... or are you looking for more specific like cranial nerves or cell division? or just...

Thank goodness my university doesn't have enough money for a sim lab--- I don't think i'd perform well if I knew that so many people were watching (I don't mind if my instructor /classmate/ patient's...
