  1. I am completely freaked.

    AllThingsPink posted a topic in General Students

    i have been working towards nursing school ever since graduating from high school 5 years ago.. getting pre-reqs out of the way, dealing with ever-changing requirements which forced me to change plans...

  2. Not Getting "A's"

    AllThingsPink replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    Let me put it this way.... my GPA on its way down a mountain at full speed. :-\ Passing is 76% in our school and honestly, it's the only thing I'm hoping to get. Anything above that is

  3. Overwhelmed

    AllThingsPink replied to wanttobehappy's topic in General Students

    In a few years, it won't matter that you got a C on your exams. Seriously, not everyone tests well, it doesn't mean you don't know the material. Nursing tests are challenging and for a good reason ;-)...

  4. Hardest part of nursing school is...

    AllThingsPink replied to RedXIII_'s topic in General Students

    Could not agree more. I get that it's a great learning tool in a safe environment but seriously, I hate being judged. I hate being critiqued. And that's what this is. Ugh... I also almost always...

  5. What to do when you have two answers left on an exam?

    AllThingsPink replied to AllThingsPink's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much for your replies!! I will definitely look into the advice you've given me. :) And yep, I overthink all of the time. Argh! Thanks

  6. What to do when you have two answers left on an exam?

    AllThingsPink posted a topic in General Students

    I realize saying "I'm a horrible test taker" is an excuse but it is true. LOL I find when I take nursing exams for lecture, I always have two answers that are left and end up making a guess as to...

  7. Hospital Infant Security Systems

    AllThingsPink replied to BABYRN916's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We use HUGS... never had a problem with it. Never heard of the Kisses portion but it makes

  8. What do patients say that irks you?

    AllThingsPink replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Omgosh for a second there I thought I was back in a nursing school

  9. Animosity between L/D & Postpartum

    AllThingsPink replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Totally the same thing in our unit too. I almost feel the L&D nurses think the PP nurses are slackers... and while there are definitely slackers (on both units), there's no need to assume the...

  10. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    AllThingsPink replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes ma'am, you sound just like me (minus having children)! I am currently in nursing school and will not settle for a job besides the one that I want after graduation. Yes, I've had numerous people...

  11. Made a mistake!

    AllThingsPink replied to what2donow's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wanted to say... right after anyone makes a mistake (whether it be as a nurse or outside the hospital), we always try to run from it (ie: change units thinking you shouldn't be in L&D)....

  12. anyone at tech for OB?

    AllThingsPink replied to sophie<3's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm a tech on an OB floor and absolutely love it. We ambulate, do vitals, help with circumcisions, weigh babies, bathe babies, peri care on both section and vag patients. It's a very fulfilling, happy...

  13. My most important tip for a nursing student is....

    AllThingsPink replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Xanax.... Just kidding. Remember that there IS in fact a life outside of school. You almost have to schedule that to keep yourself in

  14. How much did you pay for books your first year?

    AllThingsPink replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    I believe I paid

  15. A Typical Week at Nursing School?

    AllThingsPink replied to iwanttobeanurse33's topic in General Students

    My suggestion to you right now is to look at the college you plan on attending for nursing and see what pre-reqs you must have... Anatomy and Physiology there's not much you can do to get those done...

  16. How did everyone do this semester?

    AllThingsPink replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I just want to pass. I do not care about A's anymore. I had a final today we won't know the grade until tomorrow and a final tomorrow that I need to do well on.

  17. Possibly Failing

    AllThingsPink replied to STL2008, RN's topic in General Students

    I am THRILLED for you! I hope you pass on some of that luck to me :)

  18. To Do: Over Summer Vacation

    AllThingsPink replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    Sleep. Apologize to friends that I've neglected this past

  19. I failed out of nursing school

    AllThingsPink replied to utchick's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry you did not pass. I wish you all the best in trying to repeat the semester. Nursing school is so

  20. Possibly Failing

    AllThingsPink replied to STL2008, RN's topic in General Students

    I understand where you're coming from. I am only first semester and am getting 77% in both of my classes. I need 76% to pass. Failing is just not an option for me. I wish you the best of luck in...

  21. Do you remember???

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

    It's the one letter you're going to have complete mixed emotions about. You're going to be so extremely happy you could pass out. But you're going to have that 'what the hell did I get myself into?'...

  22. I took my NCLEX today,,,,,

    AllThingsPink replied to kemshara's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck!! I am sure you did

  23. Officially a Nursing student! Need advice :)

    AllThingsPink replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Students

    Honestly? Just enjoy the time you have now before school. Every school is different so the things I am using first semester may not apply to you. The only thing is nursing tests are very different...

  24. I got in!!!

    AllThingsPink replied to sunshinesuperwoman's topic in General Students

    I remember how happy (and scared) I was when I got that letter. Enjoy that moment and be proud. Congratulations to all of you

  25. in need of some help: jobs at a hospital before nursing school?

    AllThingsPink replied to meghan91's topic in General Students

    Is there any secretary jobs at your local hospital? It's not direct contact with patients but it will give you a sense of how the floors work. I am not sure if you have to be a CNA to be a transporter...
