  1. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    Feathers replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 34 & I just graduated, I still have to go back for my BSN. I had a lot of younger classmates, but there were also some that ranged from 5-20 yrs older than I am (males included). Good

  2. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Feathers replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm still in the process of reading this thread. Some of these are hysterical! I'm a new grad, but have been a PCT on night shift for the last few years. One night a pt (approx. 40 y/o) put on his...

  3. Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

    Feathers replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I will admit to being somewhat of a skeptic... but for me & 2 of my girlfriends - it rang true. We all tested July 7th, all got the good pop-up & all found out this morning via Quick Results...

  4. Anyone pass with answering all 265?

    Feathers replied to HDnurseNICKI's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I personally know 4 people that got all the questions, & passed. So it's a possibility for sure. Good

  5. Took my NCLEX today...

    Feathers replied to rnay312's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like I prepared, but still didn't feel ready, wondered if I prepped enough. I had to post because I took the NCLEX today & I also got 78 questions. Content seems to be very similar to...

    Feathers replied to Sunset87's topic in General Students

    I will be graduating on 5/21, and pinned on 5/22! All tests & clinicals are done & in the books. What a crazy journey! Wouldn't trade it for anything though! Congrats to the class of 2010......

  7. Daytonite has passed away...

    Feathers replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am shocked & saddened to hear this news. As a student her posts helped me MANY times through the thick of it... I graduate in 20 days. You will be missed... God Bless you & your family....

  8. having a dog while in nursing school?

    Feathers replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    aww, I am sorry about Sophie. We have a 15 y/o beagle (hubby's dog that mostly sleeps). Hubby helps me out by letting him out early & we also keep him in an area that's easy to clean up if he...

  9. Do you have a home office for school? What's your system?

    Feathers replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    I more or less took over the computer room, thanks to a very accommodating hubby. I have a large desk w/a hutch (for important books) & a big bookcase on the other wall. There's a TV in here, but...

    Feathers replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    Doh - I meant humble, 'honest' was stuck in my head from reading the post above

  11. NEED SOME FEEDBACK!

    Feathers replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    In my opinion & in my honest opinion.

  12. Anyone else going to be bored this summer?

    Feathers replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I am going to enjoy my break too! I have a wonderful hubby that deserves some undivided attention for being so awesome! I plan on being outdoors, 'playing in the yard' & doing lots of birding. I'm...

  13. Student Uniform - My Gosh!

    Feathers replied to Meg_student's topic in General Students

    How awful! I couldn't function in that! If this for real, you most definately have my sympathies. We have a navy blue scrub top (w/school patch) w/white

  14. Furious....abandoned by my TEACHER....

    Feathers replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in LPN to RN

    Oh my gosh...Susan Boyle is one of my new inspirations! "I've never been given the chance" & when she got her chance she did "rock the audience", but she did it for herself... that's what I liked...

  15. I Passed!!!-Ever felt down about NCLEX You Must ReadThis!!!!!!!!!!!

    Feathers replied to determinedgal1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What an inspiring story! I had tears of happiness for you! Way to go!!

  16. Information not sticking

    Feathers replied to georgia2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Agree w/flash cards. I re-write a lot of info & key points from the powerpoints or from the chapters. Repetition not only helps me remember, but the process sticks & it helps to work through a...

  17. Phlebotomy before RN

    Feathers replied to Glauci's topic in General Students

    No I'm not...I'm in III... just wanted to clarify. I have no idea why I typed that I was in

  18. what is the most important thing in preparing the family for nursing school

    Feathers replied to butterfly135's topic in General Students

    lol... it's the truth, you're not kidding at all! I had to remind the hubby of that just this morning when I was running around the house like a crazy woman trying to get out of the house on time...

  19. Phlebotomy before RN

    Feathers replied to Glauci's topic in General Students

    I took a phlebotomy class after I got my CNA so I could a job at a hospital while in NS. They really didn't cover much about EKG's, we kinda blew past it, but focused on blood draws. It was helpful in...

  20. Passing out in the OR

    Feathers replied to Carrie_MTC's topic in General Students

    Last week was my first time in the OR & I was not grossed out, ate breakfast & everything. I too found myself getting very light-headed... it was the mask for sure, I almost went down, but...

  21. Would you "Facebook Friend" a Professor?

    Feathers replied to MHaffer's topic in General Students

    yep, you can add groups. Group A can see all posts, pics, make posts etc... group B cannot. You can post a note to your knitting club (I don't knit, just an example) & your schoolmates won't even...

  22. Has any one felt like quiting

    Feathers replied to bthsp's topic in General Students

    It's gotta be normal. I'm in 2nd semester (med/surg) It can be so overwhelming! I think when all is said & done I will need both psych & GI consult! :) I've had friends & family members...

  23. "Is it ok if the student stays in the room?" <-- ARRG

    Feathers replied to Alternator81's topic in General Students

    I don't think it would bother me. I've been asked my doctor if it is ok if a med student sits in when I am the pt. I haven't heard anyone ask if I can stay in the room, but *I* have asked if I may...

  24. IPod and lecture question

    Feathers replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I have a 3rd gen Ipod Nano & an olympus digital recorder. What I do is convert the wave files to .m4a via SWITCH (free online converter program) & drop them into my folder in itunes/ipod. That...

  25. First day tomorrow - nervous wreck

    Feathers replied to momof2students's topic in General Students

    I go back tomorrow too. It'll be my 2nd semester though, so while I am not as nervous as last semester, I still have a certain level of anxiety. Good luck on your first day everyone, you will do...
