  1. Anyone else a Biker Nurse? ;)

    studently42 replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I AM!! I ride my 2003 HD Road King to work at the hospital and every chance I get when off work. I don't think that I could handle the stress of being a new(9 mos) nurse without having my bike....

  2. appropriate interview attire

    studently42 replied to EDnurseCT's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've only had one interview and had NEVER worn a suit before. When I finally got my license, I bought a suit. I had to look on the internet to see how to tie a tie the night before the interview....

  4. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    studently42 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, the trick worked for me. I got the pop up about three hours after testing. I read the first 80-90 pages of this thread and felt a lot better about how I did on the test. Did the quick results...

  6. Welcome to NCLEX August 2009 Group!!!

    studently42 replied to KAYBDT6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know if I passed or not (according to the pearson vue trick,I did, but taking that with a grain of salt). Mstefano, I really feel that the style of the questions was similar to ATI(Meds...

  7. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    studently42 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I took the NCLEX-RN today and it shut off at 75 questions. When I tried the trick, I got the pop-up that, according to many posts in this thread, means that I passed. I sure hope so, because I...

    studently42 replied to KAYBDT6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks pkid, I just got back from the testing center. The test cut off at 75 questions and I was glad it was over. I don't know how I did. It seemed to get hard after the first few questions, but...

  10. Welcome to NCLEX August 2009 Group!!!

    studently42 replied to KAYBDT6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey yall, I'm taking the nclex on Aug 22 at 8am. After pinning we had a live ATI review and they put up about 3500 practice questions online for us to use. I also use the Saunders Comp Review. I kind...

  11. Accepted

    studently42 replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on getting accepted! I didn't get the impression that you thought nursing was easy. You were just voicing some concerns. For myself, nursing school (ADN) is much more difficult than...

  12. Spring 2009 Graduating Class

    studently42 replied to tachybradyRN's topic in General Students

    Well I've got two more quarters in my ADN program-critical care and 180 hrs of preceptorship. Our last exam is June 18th and pinning is a few days later (hopefully on June 20th-my 45th birthday). For...

  13. Need your support guys.........I Feel like a real pansy!!

    studently42 replied to malestudentnurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    When I was much younger, I would have done the easier thing and thrown down with the redneck-no problem. You basically did what a mature, responsible man should do. There is no way that we should let...

  14. Resident's right to refuse? Or NO right to refuse?!

    studently42 replied to Chanzes MiMi's topic in General Students

    Well, as an RN student, I would absolutely NOT go along with the instructor in the same situation. I would have asked the CI what determined that the client was "not in her right mind" besides the...

  15. Nursing student and over weight

    studently42 replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    There are several big ladies in my class. While I'm not overweight, I sure don't see why it would hinder performance in NS. As a matter of fact, being tiny seems like it would be a bigger problem. As...

  16. Male Nurse Insert a Foley

    studently42 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You'll be fine. In three quarters of clinicals, I have not seen any attitudes like the OP of this thread. When you get in lab, practice, practice, practice all of the procedures. Knowing the...

  17. How to make it all work??????

    studently42 replied to binkysdad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I work full time and I am halfway through my ADN program. If you can find a job with flexible hours, it will help a lot. If something happened to my job, I would deliver pizza, clean office buildings...

  18. Male Nurse Insert a Foley

    studently42 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think you are right. I don't see how anyone who is a nursing student or nurse could possibly compare the insertion of a Foley catheter to rape. It's just bizarre to me that this subject was raised....

  19. Absolute Miracle!

    studently42 replied to *tattooed~princess*'s topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations and good luck in your sobriety. I hope all goes well with your pre-reqs and the admission process. God Bless and may the miracles keep coming.

  20. Hi, MS here and I AM an Alcoholic

    studently42 replied to Diamond Nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey Marie, thanx for the update. I'm glad that your resolve about what you need to do doesn't appear to be shaken. Staying sober in AA is the only thing that helps me grow through pain and it will...

  21. Quitting smoking.. for real this time.

    studently42 replied to tachybradyRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good luck Dorito! Well how is it going Alliemariee? Did you quit and how? I used Smoke Away and it's been three weeks. Smoke Away only helps (a little) the first week and since then it has been...

  22. Wish me luck!

    studently42 replied to Tweety's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good Luck Tweety, I'm sure you'll do fine. Whenever I give an AA talk, I get really nervous right before the meeting and it totally goes away within 5 minutes. Besides, I've never seen anyone leading...

  23. Did anyone quit smoking when they stated nursing school?

    studently42 replied to misserella8036's topic in General Students

    You know jaywolves, I'm glad you said what you did about what this will do to a normally sane person. It's the end of day 12 without smoking and I haven't been myself at all for a few days. EVERTHING...

  24. Problem w/RN's & CT's on clinical day

    studently42 replied to Corsair41's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Corsair, these are experienced nurses giving advice to a nursing student (which I also am). Most of what I read was that there was a lack of communication between your CI and the staff. I treat...

  25. Old man thinking of nursing

    studently42 replied to coop47's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just do it Coop. I'm 43 and I'll be 44 when I become an RN. Hey ,the sooner you start, the younger you'll be when you
