  1. Help! I'm not a quitter, but...

    allthingsbright replied to nskoog's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you have answered your own question--if you don't want to administrate or be a teacher, then you probably will not finish a MSN program--so yeah, you need to cover yourself for the future...

  2. What is D Sat?

    allthingsbright replied to ragincajunstudent's topic in General Students

    Yup, it's related to O2 saturation. Optimal O2 satuartion is 95%-100%in a healthy adult--usually when it drops below 90% you will hear that the patient is

  3. For those that wanted Drug lists.

  5. Best/Hardest/Worst nusring class?

    allthingsbright replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Students

    I think our med/surg III class in our senior year is supposed to be the hardest--there are rarely any A's in that class. So far, they have been equally difficult--they just require a lot of time and...

  6. scared of final!!

    allthingsbright replied to RNmom08's topic in General Students

    We have to have a 75 % NO ROUNDING on the FINAL itself or we fail the entire class. Doesnt matter if you go in with an A or a C.

  7. How to prep myself for nursing school

    allthingsbright replied to s5995's topic in General Nursing

    Four months should be enough time to grow a thick skin! Thats the one thing I wish I had done before school--I am learning the hard way, I guess. Just relax--you will be glad you took time to enjoy...

  8. Please don't eat your young.

    allthingsbright replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having more probs with rude doctors than nurses. The only grumpy nurses I have met thus far are overworked and underpaid, IMHO. I may be fallout from that, but I try not to take it

  9. What Floor/Unit to work for???

    allthingsbright replied to bayoufrogg's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a friend who is a nurse tech in ER and she loves it--plus it has helped her TONS in school--I swear, she knows everything. Med/surg would be out for me. ICU might be interesting but I was a...

  10. Nursing students that DON'T get report...(m)

    allthingsbright replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    That is a HUGE no-no at my school-if we did that we would be seriously reprimanded. I think you should be worried and something should be said the the instructors of those students! Even if you miss...

  11. Missing Clincials??

    allthingsbright replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have Saturday clinicals, and yeah, missing for a wedding would not be a good idea. We get ONE clinical absense per rotation and it has to be a pretty dire situation--like illness, death, etc--for...

  12. Ever feel like this...?

    allthingsbright replied to bisson's topic in General Students

    I definitely feel the same way!

  13. Anxiety much?

    allthingsbright replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey guys--save the anxiety for clinicals--tehe. Really, you will do fine. Just work hard and stay low to the ground!

  14. Honestly...Is there still hope for my future???

    allthingsbright replied to missbwm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I went to college the 1st time back in, oh, 1991, I was a horrible student. I managed to get my GPA up to a 1.0 after it dropped to a 1.0. :( I stopped going to college three years into a Psyche...

    allthingsbright replied to krazykev's topic in General Students

  17. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    allthingsbright replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Like (most) of what I am learning... Like (most) of my classmates... HATE the politics! HATE "weeding out!" HATE all the clinical paperwork. HATE nurse eating their young. HATE the exhaustion. Wow, I...

  18. No more VBACs

    allthingsbright replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ina Gaskin is freaking out reading this right now! I personally had a failed VBAC in 1999. I was really surprised to learn in nursing school that had I been under the same circumstances today, I...

  19. New grad burnt out at 6 mos?

    allthingsbright replied to pancake's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I haven't graduated yet but have many friends who have gone before me into nursing and have had to walk away from their first jobs and find a different unit to work on many times in a different...

  20. Prereq classes vs. nursing school

    allthingsbright replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I am a junior in nursing school, and if I'd have to compare I would say taking 2 nursing classes has a study load like that of A&P and Micro together PLUS you add clinicals which adds a lot of...

  21. I love nursing school!! Anyone else?

    allthingsbright replied to ccstudent's topic in General Students

    Um, no. I don't love nursing school like I did back in Fundamentals. I have sobered up. Things have gotten increasingly more stressful and I am tired of school politics. I do love what I am learning...

  22. I have a question about becoming a ob nurse

    allthingsbright replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HI-yes, you take all the normal nursing classes because you will need each and every one of them. As an OB nurse you will have all kinds of patients because all kinds of people give birth--from the...

  23. Do you have to buy a stethoscope?

    allthingsbright replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you will need one eventually. I bought the cheap school issued one 1st semester and a Littman the 2nd semester and in 3rd semester my littman goes w/ me everywhere at clinical. GL!

    allthingsbright replied to purpledragon's topic in Ob/Gyn
