  1. Pre-Nursing ?'s

    WDWpixieRN replied to poboy31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the second semester of an ASN program, and so far only had one short research presentation we had to do last semester (w/a nursing research article)...I don't know what we'll have coming up in...

  2. Very squeamish

    WDWpixieRN replied to robpritc's topic in General Students

    I haven't dealt with a lot of it yet...had a gal with VRE the other day who was poopy and a small amount splashed on my arm...we were so busy I didn't even really have time to think too much about it...

  3. I Just Don't Understand...

    WDWpixieRN replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Some great ideas....even just the highlighting of meds and starring items that were noted to "know" will be helpful not to overlook when re-reviewing notes!!

  4. Welcome to the Missouri State Forum!

    WDWpixieRN replied to suebird3's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome!! We need all the life we can muster on this

  5. I Just Don't Understand...

    WDWpixieRN replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Would you mind explaining how you use color? Different pens when you're taking notes? Highlighters? I'm very visual too and this sounds interesting...

  6. Micro Rant!!

    WDWpixieRN replied to JDLAStew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, there you have it....good you have other resources....hopefully you'll get instructor evaluations to fill out....then you can mention your issues.... Best

  7. Micro Rant!!

    WDWpixieRN replied to JDLAStew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Once again the reason I mentioned many times when my kids were in college to ASK around about the best teachers -- not the EASIEST, the BEST INSTRUCTORS....he or she can make all the difference in...

  8. I had to drop out this semester

    WDWpixieRN replied to AZmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have always HATED needles....with a passion...so when I started watching the IM and SQ videos last semester before checkoffs, I honestly got the creeps....I wasn't sure if I could do that...but...

  9. I Just Don't Understand...

    WDWpixieRN replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, sympathy for this subject can be found by others who don't understand or haven't been through NS....there is a phenomenal amount of information to learn about the nursing profession and when I...

  10. I Just Don't Understand...

    WDWpixieRN replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We don't necessarily have "homework" in the form of things that have to be turned in, but you can bet that if I want to continue making a "B", I have to do the studying and reading that are required...

  11. Algebra anyone??

    WDWpixieRN replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Go get any help you can while you're enrolled in the class....tutoring on campus or private tutoring, friends, family...most important, asking around to others on your campus to get the name(s) of...

  12. single mother pursing nursing????

    WDWpixieRN replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know 2 of the single moms in my class have their parents helping them...but their children are VERY young... All I can offer is my empathy....the teen years are often more needy than when they're...

  13. Report Sheets

    WDWpixieRN replied to Kaydee's topic in General Students

    A couple of things we are required to record on our school's form: Pt room #Lab values (they gave us the list of which labs they wanted us to know), which includes a column for the pt's #s and then...

  14. To move to MO, or not to move....

    WDWpixieRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    How funny....well, not funny at the time, I'm sure....but, well, you know...I just hope I make it that far!! I'm not even thinking that far ahead just yet...I had a lousy week in clinicals this...

  15. What to do with my other degree.

    WDWpixieRN replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should attempt to get that psych degree finished when you can before the credits are no longer valid....you can always be a psych RN if that's truly a field that interests you....I have a...

  16. Ugh. I'm #6 on the wait list

    WDWpixieRN replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think "6" sounds like pretty good odds from what I've heard/seen...I'd be making sure all your little ducks are in a row because it's still likely to happen...there are many reasons people don't...

  17. To move to MO, or not to move....

    WDWpixieRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, congrats!! Sounds like you definately deserved it!! I'll be anxious to read posts about how the "real world" is post-NS!! :bowingpur

  18. Devastated

    WDWpixieRN replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'd do a "Reply" (with this e-mail in the body section) and ask her if this means you should start planning your life to start NS in the fall? If her reply is vague to you, you are entitled...

  19. Dosage Calculation Test

    WDWpixieRN replied to peacelovestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, that will be the class....I see there's the e-mail for the instructor listed with that course. WRITE her now and explain what you're planning on doing (Spring break starts next week)....make...

  20. Dosage Calculation Test

    WDWpixieRN replied to peacelovestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess that makes a certain amount of sense, that way someone who can't pass the test isn't taking up space on the list...I'll try to remember to ask around tomorrow and see if that's the case, but...

  21. To move to MO, or not to move....

    WDWpixieRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, one last comment about salaries...I think they're fairly commensurate to the cost of living here...I know one young nurse at the facility I'm at was talking about the house she just...

  22. To move to MO, or not to move....

    WDWpixieRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know much about the facilities from a working standpoint...I did a semester of clinicals at a BJC facility (they're LARGE) and didn't care for it or the atmosphere there.... St. Luke's (the...

  23. Hounding them?

    WDWpixieRN replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not only that, but I wouldn't want my name that well-known before I started classes, lol....I just lay low and let my work and tests and conduct speak for themselves....I would not be looking to have...

  24. Dosage Calculation Test

    WDWpixieRN replied to peacelovestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I almost spit out my milk (that I was drinking with my cookies, lol)....you give me too much credit!! No, I'm not a smart cookie -- I've just "been there, done that"...I remember how confusing and...

  25. Dosage Calculation Test

    WDWpixieRN replied to peacelovestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi again.... Originally when they started this requirement, we were told the test was good for ONE YEAR...in fact, I had taken it in December '05....was admitted to Forest Park the next fall so was...
