  1. How do nurses retain the information they've learned?

    AllThingsPink replied to Coco Rosie's topic in General Students

    I think a lot of it has to do with what you do on a daily basis. Right now, we're leaning a bunch of new, different things we've most likely never done before. We may have heard of them, seem them...

  2. Just venting about something dumb

    AllThingsPink replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    That stinks. Sorry you had to deal with

  3. First Day of Clinicals....Disaster

    AllThingsPink replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry it didn't go well. I haven't started clinical yet (mid March) and I'm scared! I do not do well with aggresive behavior from instructors such as 'you should feel bad of the mistakes you...

  4. Failed Lab today...

    AllThingsPink replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    Well that just plain sucks that you have to stay back a semester because of that. WTH? Ugh... the joys of nursing school. I am so sorry and I hope you're able to make it up and continue on. Hang in...

  5. tired of hearing it, nursing students PLEASE answer

    AllThingsPink replied to ChervRN's topic in General Students

    About working... do what you need to do. People do not recommend working full time as it mostly cuts into practice time in the lab as well as studying off hours etc. But in this economy, some people...

  6. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    AllThingsPink replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    FLgirl06, I wish you the best with nursing school. You have a good attitude towards it, which is probably half the battle. I sincerely hope you're able to maintain that throughout the program. Good...

  7. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    AllThingsPink replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    So because someone else said something sarcastic, it's ok then for you to say something about someone else? Ok. 'Caffeine', as far as I could tell, didn't say anything to anyone specific in her OP....

  8. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    AllThingsPink replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    Wow. I must say, those of you giving your personal opinions, make sure and check the original post before stating what you think. Sometimes it just feels good to vent and venting was what 'caffeine'...

  9. Constantly questioning myself. Is this normal?

    AllThingsPink replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Students

    I question myself every single day of being in the nursing program. You are so not alone.

  10. tired of hearing it, nursing students PLEASE answer

    AllThingsPink replied to ChervRN's topic in General Students

    I am not the best person to give advice about nursing school as a whole but 6 weeks ago before I started the program I felt the same way you did. I was so SICK of hearing people who had gone through...

  11. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    AllThingsPink replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    Oh boy yes. And I'm only in my first semester.... but I know in the long run it'll be good for me (I hope!). There's many things I don't like about it, including an instructor who just threw us in to...

  12. My school's Nursing Program Requirements

    AllThingsPink replied to KevinNguyen's topic in General Students

    Do it. Usually in each class, they do a basic cell unit for those that have been out of school for a while to review. Good luck to

  13. Anyone have anything positive to say about nursing school?

    AllThingsPink posted a topic in General Students

    Besides the outcome at the end; becoming an RN, is there anything positive you've experienced throughout nursing school? I've read so many negative things (and for a person starting her first semester...

  14. Woot! Shout out!

    AllThingsPink replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Students

    Congrats!!

  15. Starting NS w/ no prereqs = suicide?

    AllThingsPink replied to Summers_Off's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately for some people, going part time or quitting is simply not an option financially. To the OP: Where there's a will, there's a way! I don't think I could do it, based on my studying and...

  16. Pre-Nursing Job Decision: Package Handler or Patient Care Technician

    AllThingsPink replied to simplyashley21's topic in General Students

    I totally agree. I've been a patient care tech for almost 4 years at the same hospital and think it will help me greatly with clinical in patient communication and comfort because it's something I've...

  17. Overwhelmed and Nervous

    AllThingsPink replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I find all advice anyone gives regarding nursing school is easier said than done. LOL It's so easy for people to say 'you just have to do it' or 'you give up everything for nursing school' or 'it'll...

  18. I am a new nursing student but am not doing so well

    AllThingsPink replied to utchick's topic in General Students

  19. Overwhelmed and Nervous

    AllThingsPink replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I feel that way and I'm only in my first semester. I am trying to do what Babyheart is saying and so many of my friends are saying; taking it one step, one day, one thing at a time. If I look at it as...

  20. am i missing something?

    AllThingsPink replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for saying this. I am in my first semester (just started today) and have basically heard everyone say 'OMG all you're going to do is study, forget having a life, forget seeing your...

  21. Anatomy and Physiology

    AllThingsPink replied to shortnorthstudent's topic in General Students

    Geez, that's a positive statement to make to some of us just starting nursing school or looking to start. Kind of why you have to take what people say on here with a grain of salt. To the OP: my...

  22. Positive nursing school experiences please!

    AllThingsPink replied to Remi's topic in General Students

    I'm worried too and I just started today. I had numerous break downs and anxiety/panic attacks last week just thinking about nursing school. I can just now finally talk about it without tearing up or...

    AllThingsPink replied to superaunt's topic in General Students

    I am not much of a reference to say "it's worth it!" because I'm a terrified first semester nursing program student who begins my first classes on Tuesday. I can only go by what people have said in...

  25. Microbiology 2010 (TIPS)

    AllThingsPink replied to cheezn4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved Micro and I did really well because I had an interest in it. Compared to A&P, in my opinion, I found it much easier. I hated A&P. Micro was just so interesting to me (though I'm a bit...
