  2. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    RNMom2010 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I am a straight B student, with very little effort and my classmates are mostly straight C students. They know the material JUST as well as I do, if not better and are JUST as competent and safe in...

    RNMom2010 replied to irish_fiddler747's topic in General Students

  9. Prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines while working?

    RNMom2010 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say I could function to work on narcs, however taking a 0.25mg of Xanax HELPS me focus. I do not get loopy on xanax and it takes any anxiety down to a level where I can function much better than...

  10. how has nursing school affected ur marriage

    RNMom2010 replied to pristine30's topic in General Students

  11. What students should NOT do before,during, and after exams

    RNMom2010 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Well I guess I am glad my last class was only 13 people! We all conversed before and after the exams, both r/t the content and just chitchat. What does irritate me are the cell phones that ring, or...

  12. Do you think removing an NG tube is "killing someone"?

    RNMom2010 replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see "pulling the plug" by any means a way of killing someone, but I think of it as setting them free to go as nature and God intended. It's okay to be sad when you witness or assist with...

  13. Obstetrics-gynecology as first clinical?

    RNMom2010 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    RNMom2010 replied to la mama 310's topic in General Students

  16. Do You Wear Gloves When...

    RNMom2010 replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on the condition of the skin, both theirs and mine. Really, sometimes gloves make the application a lot easier because the lotion does not soak into your own hands and it all gets on...

  17. How many people quit or flunk out of NS vs graduate?

    RNMom2010 replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    I found that we lost a lot of people, by their own choice and by not passing, the first year of the program. Now that we are in second year, we have not yet lost anyone else (crossing my fingers)....

  18. "Is it ok if the student stays in the room?" <-- ARRG

    RNMom2010 replied to Alternator81's topic in General Students

    Just remember that the patient comes first, and if that pt will disclose more or feel more comfortable with less people in the room, so be it! I have actually removed MYSELF from a room in which I...

  23. Tattoo/employability question

    RNMom2010 replied to smirkingvag's topic in General Students

    They make coverup makeup for tattoos. Perhaps you could use that for your facial tattoo, and wear a long sleeved tee under your scrubs. A tattoo, or 50+ should not determine whether or not you go for...

  24. Little things that keep you motivated

    RNMom2010 replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    My husband, mom and gramma motivate me. To see them happy as they watch me progress makes it all worthwhile. Luckily, this 8 weeks is my OB rotation and I am just utterly facinated and intensely...
