  1. SINGLE PARENT...and the ADN program

    coolpeach replied to ForMYdaughter's topic in General Students

    I am a single mom, and I too depend a lot on my family, and friends. I moved back home which allows me to live rent free, but of course I pay for groceries etc. It also allows me to have my mom and...

  2. Weird habits you've picked up since starting Nursing school

    coolpeach replied to Kiringat's topic in General Students

    I have always been the person who flushed with my foot, washed my hands, and then used the paper towel to turn off the water and open the door. Nursing has changed me, and I am actually less freaked...

  7. My RN venture ended today.

    coolpeach replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    You can't just quit. I would do extra credit, cry, beg, plead, work something out, basically do anything you can to get through the program. It's such a short time, and the pays offs are worth it. Go...

  9. Does anyone else feel like they were born for this?

    coolpeach replied to keno138's topic in General Students

    I have clinical once a week, and each week it just gets better. At the end of the 10 hour shift my feet hurt, but I am happy. Today I made a dying man smile, I confronted a crying woman afraid of...

  10. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    coolpeach replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    This cannot be a real post. In this one post you put down community college, blue collar workers, working class people, those with lower level degrees, and nurses. I find your post offensive, and...

    coolpeach replied to MissJS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is not a must to have one, but we found it really is almost impossible not to. We bought almost all of our books for the year at one time. It ended up being two boxes full, and we will need about 4...

    coolpeach replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    GROSS. Its not that poop freaks me out, but it's more just weird. I don't want people I know looking at my poop, and frankly I don't want to look at theirs either. We didn't have to do this. The worst...

    coolpeach replied to Nurs0706's topic in General Nursing

  25. Failed Drug Test!!!!!!

    coolpeach replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    Hotflashin, That would have really pee'd me off. This lab tracks everything by SS# so if someone else got my results they would also have my name, address, and at least SS#. Are these places run by...
