  1. If you could make everyone a nurse, would you?

    CH080605 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    NO! Some people just aren't Nurse material! My husband, for example.. God love him.. He just doesn't have the patience and compassion for people that it takes to be a good Nurse. Others are just...

  4. All White Uniform Dress Code?!!

    CH080605 replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in school, and our uniforms are all white. While I do come home with dirt, etc on them, I would imagine it would be there no matter what color uniform I wear. It looks more professional,...

  7. What would you do first?

    CH080605 replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Having just finished taking a test on this, I'd say O2!! We're taught Oxygen first, then Fluids and everything else. Always check your ABC's!

    I wish someone would have sat me down and taught me how to study for the tests! You HAVE to study by applying the information. You CAN'T just MEMORIZE! I also found that you can't just sit down and...

    Also, if your uniforms or lab coats do not come with patches on them, be sure to get them right away! It has been a pain to try to get

    Shoes are to be completely white. (I bought some Reeboks at Shoe Carnival for $30 - they're really comfortable!) The nursing kit that you buy in the bookstore comes with things you'll need for labs:...

  12. Medication Check Off!

    CH080605 replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in General Students

    First of all, CONGRATS!! Feels good, doesn't it? We did Meds check off last week. We had to show the different sites for each type of injection, the size needle to use and gauge, and explain how to...

  13. A Really Big Decision

    CH080605 replied to Charmedone619's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there! I'm in my first year of nursing school. You're right, this is a big decision. But if your whole heart is in it, it could be the best decision you've ever made. None of us want to be in...

    CH080605 replied to glaze78's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what I made exactly, but I know it was in the upper 60th percentile, which isn't fabulous, but I'm in! If you feel you did well, you probably did. Hope that helps!

  15. Screw-ups?

    CH080605 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I read a lot about funny things that happen and annoying things that happen to nurses on these forums, but what about the times we screw up? I'm starting nursing classes on Monday, and thought it...

    CH080605 replied to glaze78's topic in General Nursing

    Classes start MONDAY! Are you as excited as I am?!

  17. What medical shows do you watch?

    CH080605 replied to shellsgogreen's topic in General Students

    I watch Grey's Anatomy, Trauma: Life in the ER, and Untold Stories of the ER... and pretty much anything else I might happen to stumble upon that looks interesting. I watch ER off and on, but not...

  18. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    CH080605 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I didn't read all of the previous posts or anything, but IMO, if you're going into nursing SOLELY for the benefits (good pay, job security, etc), without actually enjoying it, that's where the problem...

  19. opinions about epidurals

    CH080605 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My personal experience with epidurals was certainly something! I gave birth to my beautiful daughter 15 mos. ago. I was induced at 39 weeks, because the baby was just getting too big for me. So, they...

    Contact the Nursing Dept. and tell them you haven't recieved a letter of acceptance, and that you would like a nursing packet, also. They should send you everything you need in one envelope. As far...

    CH080605 replied to glaze78's topic in General Nursing

    Those scores are great! You should have no problem getting in. Just make sure they have any and ALL of the info. they need for you! As far as classes go, you could take an Anatomy class to get that...

  22. NOW does the public understand?

    CH080605 replied to FroggysMom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student now.. I still have at least a year and a half left, and haven't started clinicals yet or anything.. so I haven't had to deal with doctors yet. What do you do when doctors treat...

    CH080605 replied to glaze78's topic in General Nursing

    I start the Nursing Program at NWCC in the fall, as well. You have clinicals at the same time as nursing classes. Practically every other day you'll have one or the
