  1. Disabled and clinicals - need information

    Thanks for the thoughts Angela. I was thinking along the lines of nursing home, ob, psych, or sometimes our school places students at the local cancer center. I do realize that I may encounter sick people at these locations (or shoot, the grocery s...
  2. I finished my fiirst year toward my ADN and clinicals. However, during that first year I came down with pneumonia which triggered a rare lung disease which forced me to withdraw from year two before it began, hopefully temporarily. My school is hol...
  3. Thanks Daytonite, that was most helpful. The hospital and its employees have been most generous in sharing information and resources, and I'm trying to see this hospitilization as a positive thing. I've gotten a ton of exposure that I would have ot...
  4. Vent, can anyone relate?

    I'm in the same boat, but I have 5 kids and my classmates ALWAYS accept that as a valid reason why I can't do group studying . I tell them I'll come if I can bring a few! Seriously, I do tend to share my study habits if asked, techniques, what I'...
  5. Help! Flunking right before graduation!

    Good luck!
  6. So I'm an inpatient again, have another day or two of inside time, and looking for some useful ways for a nursing student to pass time. Any ideas? I've reviewed my chart, looked up all my diagnoses and labwork, studied for all the tests I have comi...
  7. Handling Stress

    Have a good sense of humor, it definitely helps.
  8. scared!

    If you know how to study then you will do just fine, don't worry! It is a lot of hard work, and yes some people do just drop out after they find out how much work is involved, but don't let that deter you! Many a 4.0 student finds themselves making...
  9. Liquid Gold

    Congratulations!! I'm not laughing, I haven't inserted a foley successfully on a real, live person yet so I'm very proud of you.
  10. How many credits are too much??

    I have 12, and I think one more class would have put me over the edge. 12 is doable. That's one extra class on top of the nursing classes I have to take.
  11. needing some motivation....

    Wow, you are really busy right now! How old are your small kids? Do you have any family close by (I know you said you're away from family and friends, but anyone?)? I hope you have someone who is helping you keep your sanity. Just take a deep...
  12. Made it through endocrine!

    Pass along some tips, we're starting endocrine next week! Congrats on making it through that section, hope you'll rub off on me by my posting here ha ha.

  14. Started my first IV today

    We just started doing IVs and I'm in quarter 3/6. No successful sticks here yet (haven't had the opportunity in clinicals yet) but I'm looking forward to it! Congratulations royr!
  15. I decided to fight for it and hopefully not take a year off. I called my dr back and explained the situation, and he agreed to go ahead and release me for clinicals with the promise that I'd use good judgment and not kill myself. today was my first...
