  4. Taking notes and reading?

    midwifemae replied to Middleburg08's topic in General Students

  5. Shall I buy or rent my pharmacology book?

    midwifemae replied to petagayle's topic in General Students

    I bought mine and I have barely used it, however, I am sure I will use it more in the next couple classes I have. Pharm is apart of each class outside of the intro to Pharm we already had last fall....

  8. Nursing Student needing advice!!

    midwifemae replied to tmada35's topic in General Students

  11. Did you read all of the assigned readings in nursing school ?

    midwifemae replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    midwifemae replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

  14. Is nursing school really "the hardest thing you've ever done in your life"?

    midwifemae replied to cn4207's topic in General Students

    For me, a 32 year old married, full time working mother of 2, it is the hardest thing I have ever done-long term. But it is not harder than taking care of my kids who both have influenza and high...

  17. Help: I failed out of nursing school

    midwifemae replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    The school I attend is like this. It's a private college and if you fail one class (under 75% total), then you're out and you have to start over. Also, for comps we get two chances before it is a...

    midwifemae replied to Soon2b1Nurse's topic in General Students

    I'm a mom and I work PRN and there is no way I would be able to work full time and go to school. There is so much time spent outside of class studying that I would be more burnt out than I am without...

  19. Anxiety during clinicals - advice?

    midwifemae replied to ilovebirds's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have GAD and it is NOT a reason to not become a nurse. Even being introverted is no reason to not be a nurse. I totally disagree with the guy suggesting that you need to "kill the snake" because...

  20. Stress and School

    midwifemae replied to midwifemae's topic in General Students

  22. Stress and School

    midwifemae replied to midwifemae's topic in General Students

    No, I have changed nothing. I got a steroid shot yesterday and some prescription steroid cream and that has helped so much! I just don't want the stress to make it come back later on. Ugh!

  23. Having a baby before, during, or after nursing school?

    midwifemae replied to nickymack's topic in General Students

  24. Failing Clinical

    midwifemae replied to knikkole's topic in General Students

    Did you have any lab time to practice a head to toe? We had to pass a lab comp doing one before we ever saw a patient. I would practice your head to toe on someone at home if you can to become more...

  25. Stress and School

    midwifemae replied to midwifemae's topic in General Students
