  1. drug calculations

    lainith replied to tsv.thundercat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh, PS - My instructor told us that any answer we give that is more than three tablets or capsules would require an answer of "12 caps, call pharmacy" because we'd need to request a different dosage...

  2. drug calculations

    lainith replied to tsv.thundercat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hate Roman Numerals. Thankfully we're not writing them that way in class but we ARE still using grains.

  3. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    lainith replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I guess I'm lucky we have great uniforms. They look very professional and we get lots of compliments on them. And yes, they are white. I could care less. I only wear them two days out of the week. My...

  4. Need advice, about husband/school

    lainith replied to Tysmommy's topic in General Students

    Most people have no concept of how much time and energy it takes to actually LEARN the material we have to know. Just because he knew a couple girls who were able to "hang out" all the time while they...

  5. What is your stress relief during nursing school?

    lainith replied to mzjennx's topic in General Students

    Some chai tea and blueberries in the morning for breakfast while I answer my e-mails. Taking a break during studying at school to call friends or answer text messages. Spending a few precious minutes...

  6. Are family members asking you for med advice?

    lainith replied to dorselm's topic in General Students

  8. Obligation in the face of car accident?

    lainith replied to CrazyNurseGrrl's topic in General Students

    The Good Samaritan thing actually has to do with not being held liable for attempting to assist in an emergency situation. I don't know if it applies to "everyone" (including medical professionals)...

  9. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    lainith replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    I don't and never will understand this sort of thing and hope I won't run into it in my courses. (I just started last week.) We're all adults and I hope everyone will act that way. I have no desire to...

  10. Transgender Nursing Student

    lainith replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    Maybe someone already asked this, I didn't have time to read the whole thread. Can't you just go ahead and change your legal name now and simply inform people to refer to you as that name or a...

  11. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    lainith replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    For the love of God and ALL that is holy, why can't you just SHUT UP during lecture? I thought this was a fluke when I had to tolerate it during a summer nighttime Psych class that was full of High...

  12. My feet HURT.

    lainith posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am in NS and work at a job where I am on my feet for at least 8 hours straight every day. I might get a 10 minute break a shift to sit down but that's another story. Lately my feet have been hurting...

  13. how are you paying for nursing school? or how do you plan to pay for nursing school?

    lainith replied to mashamontago's topic in General Students

    Partial Pell Grant, Stafford Loans, CASHOLA, and am going to be taking out a private loan with Sallie Mae to help me with expenses for the next year so I can go to less than half time at

  14. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    lainith replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I never had any real career aspirations growing up. All I ever wanted to be was a mom. I knew I wanted to go to college but I never gave any thought to what I would do. I had minimal interest in...

  15. Just met "Ms. Know It All LPN"

    lainith replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh The Know-It-All. My favorite of all the obnoxious co-workers. She sounds like a real peach. I don't have any advice on dealing with this woman because I have a hard time dealing with her sort...

  16. How many females are "peeking" in this forum?

    lainith replied to caliber's topic in Men in Nursing

    Chalk me up as another lurker. I find the topics of conversation on this forum to be really interesting. Can't help but check it out once in a while.

  17. Nurses Smoking

    lainith replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    I don't criticize smokers mostly because I don't want people belittling me for my own bad habits, particularly those that also have bad effects on my health like smoking does. I do not like the...

  18. male nurses with beards

    lainith replied to nrsman1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I like facial hair a lot. If it's trimmed and kept neat, it looks great on almost any guy. I do not enjoy the growing-out phase that much because it tends to look scruffy. Go for it.

  19. What do i use to carry all my books in??

    lainith replied to TiffanyJB's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am starting my nursing courses in August and I and some friends all bought those rolling bags from our bookstore. Mine was $28.95 and purple and really cute. Plenty of room for all sorts of stuff...

  20. Perfectionist - will I ever be able to handle bedside nursing?!

    lainith replied to imanedrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know if I should be worried or not but when I read your post I wondered if I accidentally stumbled across my own post. You ARE me. Lol. I like to think of my insistence on order and...

  22. Girl, Interrupted

    lainith replied to medira's topic in General Students

    I thought she was dx with a borderline personality disorder? Or Sociopath or something like that? I haven't seen it in a couple years but I remember in the one scene where they break into the Dr's...

  23. "Big Money"

    lainith replied to labrador4122's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Going from making $8.90 an hour to maybe making double that or more is a BIG jump for me, especially as a younger single female. I wanted a career where I could make enough money to live on my own,...

  24. Appearance at work

    lainith replied to peds_cna's topic in General Nursing

    Have very short hair so I always take the time to blow it out and style it. I never leave the house without mascara and many days that is all I wear besides moisturizer (super light, oil-free Aveeno...

  25. Going back to school

    lainith replied to nursing_88's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and to answer your other questions: starting salaries are all over the board. You need to do some research in areas that you are interested in. For example, a nurse at a private practice will make...
