What I really hate are those that mention the cheating getting called tattletails and such by those cheating. :rolleyes I don't know how people get caught sometimes as I'm just too focused to notice anything while I'm taking a test. The definition of cheating is established by the honor code in that school. We're allowed to share lecture notes, rewatch the class cd's, get notes from last year. We don't have copies of last year's tests as they are done online. Kitty

There were research studies about false nails. Not just one single incident. There are other ways to "thump an air bubble out of a syringe" that don't involve using your nails.

SC RN - If you don't take a multivitamin, you may consider starting one. Also, if you use nailpolish or some sort of hardener when you don't have fake nails, you may want to try to go without it for a while. Your nails may be sensitive to some of the chemicals in them, so instead of improving your nails they may actually make your nails weak and brittle.

This reminds me of the time that my bf and I were at the pool in Flordia. I was standing on the steps going in and he was out of the pool facing me. He startled this roach (and it startled him), and the roach ran right towards me as though it were attacking me. I screamed and jumped out of the pool, and it ran straight into the pool. We let it drown. Stupid thing.

I once saw a H & P that noted nothing remarkable on the eye exam - PERRLA .... What about the glass eye the patient had?

I think I'm in one of the least prohibitive schools. Our tests (all three this semester) are on computer - we have around 5 days in which to schedule the test, and then if you can't make it they work with you to reschedule within the scheduled time period. No deductions for missing class and really nobody takes advantage of the policy. I guess if you treat a bunch of students like adults, they might actually *gasp* act like adults.

I'm afraid I'd do my son more harm than good if I was home 24/7.... I'd kill him, go insane, or he'd kill me before the week was out!!! :chuckle Good luck! Go for it!! ...... I find that it was easier to study when my son was really young, then it got hard as he was a toddler, but has become easier now that he's in kindergarten.

In all of our classes that have a clinical component, we must pass the class with a B. C is not considered passing. We also must maintain a 3.0 average in order to continue with the program.

Also when it comes to changing linens (depending on population), you may or may not come upon a "surprise" and wish you had gloves on.

Vettech ... The important question is do you care? If you're asking this question... I'm sure you do! Take a few minutes and your patients will see that. You'll be surprised how you can warm up to the patients & they'll warm up to you if you give it a little bit of time. (But not all patients!!! LOL)

My dad, mom, and me don't get it either, but I don't go tempting fate by bathing in it either. I've heard that once you wash the oil off with soap/water that it doesn't spread after that. But I wouldn't know from personal experience.

It just takes 15 min a day... NO MORE... your allnurse siblings would miss you too much!

http://www.flylady.net Check out this site .... I found it through another thread. Although I don't subscribe to all her ideas, it's been enlightening reading.

It's well deserved when you think how much us nursing students have to do ... study... clinicals....tests....labs....be a fun mommy....deal with every day life ..... hmmm.... maybe that's what people should get for you when they find out that you've been accepted to nursing school.
