1. First day of clinical...physical assessment issues.

   Jstimmm replied to aWiiPeanut's topic in General Students

   We have to do this too. Every clinical. I know it sounds silly, but I am a sing songy type of person and have to group things together with either word association or songs/rhymes. I group it in the order of HEAD, Shoulders, knees and toes- and when ...

2. Thoughts on stress

   Jstimmm replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

   What you NEED, is to worry about the context of YOUR OWN APA cited papers and NOT a blog, in this case that you CLICKED ON willingly- that I typed on a website that is hardly navigatable on my iPhone, while I attempted to post a post.. to have someon...

3. Thoughts on stress

   Jstimmm posted a topic in General Students

   Hello everyone! I wanted to post to gather some insight on thoughts about stress. I have not had any major difficulties in NS until now. My programs clinical instructor and professor is starting to make me feel very stressed out to say at least. When...

4. How to Deal With a Bad Clinical

   Jstimmm replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

   You do have a point there! I guess I didn't spend much time thinking that other students may have not been trained prior to nursing school . Good point!

5. Any RNs considering medical school?

   Jstimmm replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

   I don't know if you saw any of my other posts, but my major was pre-med for my first two years and I achieved a 4.0 in all of my prerequisite classes. I now have a 3.8 due to taking 19 credit hours for a semester and having to prioritize, but I estab...

6. Any RNs considering medical school?

   Jstimmm replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

   Surely I do need to take a look inside. I am not super young, but I feel I am definitely not as mature as I could be. Maybe a bit socially impaired as well. I can own up to that and work on it.. I don't have children, and everyone I go to school with...

7. Any RNs considering medical school?

   Jstimmm replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

   This has been established. I agree with you that I am longing to be in a lab somewhere. I guess I just don't know what would interest me because I also enjoy the patient interactions I get. It is almost as if I would be happy in a nurse research sett...

8. Any RNs considering medical school?

   Jstimmm replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

   Yes I have! Is the practitioners practice closer to nursing than anything else? I have not studied the curriculum of the practitioner program, o my the MD. I have my associates in general science because I was taking pre med and switched to nursing a...

9. Any RNs considering medical school?

   Jstimmm replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

   I think that if I were you and only had advice and suggestions to offer such as "you need a reality check" I just wouldn't say anything at all. Unless I was grumpy and having a series of bad days, only then might I offer advice that isn't respectable...

    I must be a crazy person because I didn't know that is how I came off. Lesson learned.

11. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Jstimmm replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    The reason that the answer is C is because of this in my opinion. they stated that the patient was African American- first thing that popped into my head is that she may have a religion that prohibits her from receiving blood transfusions or other em...

12. How to Deal With a Bad Clinical

    Jstimmm replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    I don't agree. If someone in nursing school feels that wiping butts, and cleaning clients is below them, they should not question their career choice. If that were true, everyone I am in school with should. That is CNA work and it doesn't take much t...

    Thank you!

14. Inappropriate instructor/student relationship?

    Jstimmm replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    I do not think it is right or acceptable for the other students to have a heads up about which CI will teach the classes ahead of time. However, why can't you just stay to yourself and forget about them? They won't bother you if you don't think about...

15. Any RNs considering medical school?

    Jstimmm replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

    I agree with you on the fact that people are having trouble understanding me. This seems to happen a lot when I reference this topic. The professions are definitely related. Most of the nursing classes I had to take were also included in the first tw...
