  1. Re: My first patient. HELP!

    NurseJeanB replied to imastudentnurse17's topic in General Students

    Our teacher told us to pretend we are taking the pulse, but instead we are watching the chest. If the patient starts talking you would tell them to hold on and relax for a minute as it won't take very...

  2. To pass or To be the highest?

    NurseJeanB replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    I know several people who study hard, and sometimes get C's. Nursing school is hard and well life sometimes throws you curveballs. I know one young man who one day is going to be a wonderful nurse,...

  3. To pass or To be the highest?

    NurseJeanB replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    Ha ha. I agree. When I think about how I could have been a nurse by now if only I had made some minor adjustments in my study habits in high school, I cringe. I knew I wanted to be a nurse, but it...

  4. new here with a question

    NurseJeanB replied to cassy123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You scored very well, but I am told that the scores usually go up about 10 points the second time. Anything in the 90's would definitely be in the top group. If the school takes the highest score then...

  5. To pass or To be the highest?

    NurseJeanB replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    I think it is up to every individual what goals they set, and if your goal is to be the highest in the class then I say go for it. (Someone has to be) I set my goal to try to get all A's and I did it...

  10. Advice Please: severe hit in confidence department

    NurseJeanB replied to K os's topic in General Students

    Oh I feel for you. Clinicals are nerve wracking enough without getting beat up over every little thing. You are a student and I would bet that you will never make those mistakes again. Don't let it...

  15. Lasik Eye Surgery: Whats Everyones Opinion?

    NurseJeanB replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I had Lasik 10 years ago and only had to wear glasses starting a year ago. I scuba dive and it was so worth it. I got so used to not having to wear glasses that I was really bummed last year. So I...

    NurseJeanB replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    NurseJeanB replied to azmomof2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. CSUEB Nursing Program Anyone???

    NurseJeanB replied to healthcare4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently a Level II student at CSUEB -Concord and I think you have an excellent chance of getting in. I know in 2007 the average GPA was 3.8, but that it did go down in 2008. I had a 3.9 but I...

    NurseJeanB replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    My son knows I am not a quitter because now that I am in nursing school, he appreciates just how much work it took to get in and he sees how hard I work to do well. And Linda, you are right in that...

    NurseJeanB replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    NurseJeanB replied to Gabesmomma's topic in General Students

    NurseJeanB replied to Starting_Over_Again's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you have an insane amount on your plate. Working full time, going to school full time, and being a mom- any of which would be a lot by itself. I worked full time and knocked prereqs out at...
