  1. Fear of Failure

    lifesacomedy replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Students

    I can truly say that I think there is an amount of fear every semester. I am beginning my second semester of Nursing School and felt just like you did last semester. My advice is not to be too sure...

  2. HESI Scores...What cuts the mustard?

    lifesacomedy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey everyone... Just took my HESI's the other day and got a 91.71%. Will this be a score that will work? The schools I'm applying to say 85%, but I know that can't really be accurate because there...

  3. Required Textbooks

    lifesacomedy replied to POMD01's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they sure are! But you need them all and will use them all. Consider it that you are building your professional library. Take out financial aid if you need to and don't plan to sell many of...

  4. ? What do I do after I get my RN degree?

    lifesacomedy replied to Sweet_Li's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals will accept new grads into an L&D department, others require that you have other experience. I am still in Nursing School, but my guess is that if your hospital of choice doesn't...

  5. Looking for tips/strategies on Hesi

    lifesacomedy replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    I have a HESI review book that is broken into each section of Nursing. It comes with a CD with a quiz in each section. I found it very helpful. It's only my first semester, but I did very well on...

  6. I'm starting clinicals...

    lifesacomedy replied to toya1908's topic in General Students

    as far as my comment on spending the few extra $$ to make sure that you can be over-prepared: I bought an NCLEX-RN book the first time that someone suggested it and it helped a ton (at least in me...

  7. How to keep shoes white?!?!

    lifesacomedy replied to Raebeth's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    i buy those clorox clean-ups...the little one-time-use wipes and have a roll in my car. I give them a quick swipe before i even get in. kills most of the germies and keeps them

  8. Which stethoscope is best for nursing school?

    lifesacomedy replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Littman Classic SE II Steth...$~65 from allheart.com (and have your name put on it) one of less quality won't be worth the money one of higher quality might grow

  9. I'm starting clinicals...

    lifesacomedy replied to toya1908's topic in General Students

    Be on time. (get used to 'on time' meaning 10-15 minutes early) Come over-prepared (spend the few extra bucks to have the resources you need to make school make more sense.) Follow dress code. (white...

  10. HESI Score

    lifesacomedy replied to trustbirth's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first semester and I just took it too and ended up with a 1,061. According to the info packet that HESI sends after you take the test: "scores range from 0 to over 1,000 and can be...

  11. anxiety...

    lifesacomedy replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first day/week of a class should never be the time when you decide if it's too much. It always looks like too much at the beginning. Then again, if you're still feeling totally overwhelmed by...

  12. MIND/CONCEPT MAP & GORDONS FHPs

    lifesacomedy replied to jorla9903's topic in General Students

    wow! Daytonite is an amazing resource! Forget my rinky-dink attempt at a concept map! i'm going to go read her post in detail now.

  13. MIND/CONCEPT MAP & GORDONS FHPs

    lifesacomedy replied to jorla9903's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it's wierd. Something with the conversion. I tried it too and it didn't work. When it asks what you want to open with, pick PowerPoint. Then it should work. :0) (if it doesn't ask, right...

  14. HESI How accurate is it really?

    lifesacomedy replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Students

    I was wondering about that myself...you're talking about the HESI's during NS or the pre-HESI? I just took my first semester NS HESI and did WAY better than I thought I had done and WAY better than...

  15. MIND/CONCEPT MAP & GORDONS FHPs

    lifesacomedy replied to jorla9903's topic in General Students

    Well, here is an example. This is a web that I did for my class. I've attached the one as an example and a blank web. I've attached it as a pdf, but the file was originally a ppt (powerpoint), so...

  16. question about NURSE ANESTHETIST

    lifesacomedy replied to AFree's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Also, if you go to the "Specialty" tab, then to Advanced Practice, you'll find a forum for CRNA's, SRNA's (CRNA students), and pre-CRNA's. You can do a lot of reading this way and can post questions....

  17. New to website any suggestions about teacher who wants to become a nurse

    lifesacomedy replied to TCHRTONURS's topic in General Nursing

    Quite obviously, no one can tell you what is 'best,' but I can tell you what I did. I too was a teacher (HS Sped) with most of my Masters in Special Education as well as a certificate in Positive...

  18. Exceptional clinical teacer...gift?

    lifesacomedy replied to lazy_prodigy's topic in General Students

    Typically, I would say that a gift wouldn't be appropriate (like if it were anything big), but I think a mug with your group picture on it with a nice packet of hot cocoa, tea, or coffee would be a...

  19. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    lifesacomedy replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    To my dear Clinical Instructor: The institution made the best decision they could have possibly made in improving the program by hiring you. You make me proud to say I will be a nurse someday and I...

  20. Conflicted....................

    lifesacomedy replied to jorla9903's topic in General Students

    Don't give up! I'm sorry your semester isn't going well. I was overwhelmed for the first couple of weeks too, then things just seem to fall into place. And remember that this bear of an instructor...

  21. Christmas List for Nursing Students

    lifesacomedy replied to heartforpedsonco's topic in General Students

    So, I don't know if I understand correctly. You said you're 2 years into Nursing School (that would be just about finished). Maybe you're 2 years into a BSN program, but haven't started actual...

    lifesacomedy replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love this! Thank you! Often times I have to type out the whole darn story and we second or third degree students in our second career are truly a unique bunch (and truly sometimes, I feel like...
