  1. Bling on the job?

    bekindtokittens replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking about this very topic and here's a thread about it! I have a 3/4 carat diamond that DOES stick up, on a wide, extensively etched platinum band. I just started nursing school and...

  2. Spin off of dating patients. RN's dating docs?

    bekindtokittens replied to GeminiTwinRN's topic in General Nursing

    Love this thread. Sometimes I miss the excitement of dating... Leslasic, I'm glad you don't feel embarrassed that he didn't call. You were the brave one, put yourself out there and took a chance by...

  3. I need a pep talk!

    bekindtokittens replied to Jado0114's topic in General Students

    I'm also one of those people who feels like they've failed if they get less than an A. I got a 78 on a Pathophysiology exam and I went home and cried about it...and then ate a bag of peanut butter...

  4. Anxiety/sleep problems during school

    bekindtokittens replied to TemperStripe's topic in General Students

    I have problems falling and staying asleep. All the above suggestions are good. I take Benadryl on a regular basis anyway, for seasonal allergies, and I also use melatonin occasionally. I have a...

  5. fingerprinting for nursing school

    bekindtokittens replied to BebobthefrogFNP's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program in Colorado. We had to complete two separate background checks, fingerprinting, and take a drug test before starting school this month. Total cost for me was about

  6. Got my Stethoscope...and what a difference!

    bekindtokittens replied to *Blessed2BaNRS*'s topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got lucky. A friend of mine is a medic and he gave me a Littman Cardiology III, how nice was that?!! I've even tried it out on my cats... As for the Danskos, despite all the rave reviews, I'm just...

  7. Anyone with quick healthy recipes?

    bekindtokittens replied to tatarn2b2007's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This isn't a recipe, but it is a quick and easy food when you're in a hurry! The only downside is they are probably high in sodium, being a pre-prepared food and having ham in it. Lean Pockets Whole...

  8. Alli skinny pill

    bekindtokittens replied to nurse79's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I've been taking Alli for almost a month now. Actually, Alli only prevents about 25% of the fat you've eaten in a meal from being digested. You do not have to restrict ALL fat from your diet....

  9. What do you do to take care of yourself???

    bekindtokittens replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I love to read too, and started reading very young. I took a book with me everywhere I went when I was a kid, and still do it often as an adult. You should see me when a new Stephen King novel comes...

  10. Vacation in Colorado Springs August

    bekindtokittens replied to 4jen's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Semisweetchick gave some great suggestions. Garden of the Gods is beautiful. Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City are fun to walk around. Definitely take the Cog Railway! It is a bit pricey, but...

  11. alli ~ diet pill

    bekindtokittens replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    Well said, jmgrn65. I spent two weeks debating on trying Alli and doing research before trying it. I've taken it for five days now. I have not had any problems with gas, oily farts , or oily...

  12. A & P I flash cards

    bekindtokittens replied to KCnTexas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked into buying flashcards, but none of them had all the information I wanted included. I ended up making my own -- cutting out pictures from my atlas, finding them on the internet, or taking my...

  13. "As long as we all get a 'C'..." HMMM?!?!?

    bekindtokittens replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get really upset if I see the possibility of a B. So far I've got a 4.0 and about 60 credits to my name (switching majors) but it's tough. It seems like I spent every waking moment studying for...

  14. PDA/Cell Combos OK??

    bekindtokittens replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Nursing

    My program requires all nursing students to buy a PDA. I haven't started yet but I am all ready with my Palm TX. I considered the smart phone, but like others who posted, I don't want all my eggs in...

  15. I cried in class today

    bekindtokittens replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My weak spot is animals. I nearly cried in A&P II, in lab, when my instructor passed out the cats for us to dissect, because he told us that they are still alive when they pump the latex into the...

  16. Plus Sized Nursing Students Come In..

    bekindtokittens replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in General Students

    Hi there JdN! Your post sounds very familiar to me. I am also a plus size woman, and am starting nursing school in the fall. About a year ago, while doing my pre-reqs, I thought the same thing to...

  17. 2 yrs for pre-reqs? Does that sound right?

    bekindtokittens replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school required all the sciences (along with some other classes) be done before you could apply for the wait list, so it takes at least 3 semesters to get them done. I had to take Intro to Biology...

  18. Any recommendations on A&P II and Microbiology at the same time???

    bekindtokittens replied to Victoria703's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II and Micro at the same time last Fall, and managed to get A's in both. However, I was not working, so I had plenty of time to study. I'm not sure how I would have done with...

  19. Slightly OT: Lasik

    bekindtokittens replied to futurern123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with other posters; definitely do your research and get more than one opinion. I stated before that I just had my surgery in February. Two years before that was when I first started my quest...

  20. Slightly OT: Lasik

    bekindtokittens replied to futurern123's topic in General Nursing

    I had Lasik February this year and have been absolutely thrilled. I don't know what my vision was before, but I can tell you this...I could barely read my alarm clock right beside my bed without my...

  21. share your fears..

    bekindtokittens replied to kasia2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My fears... 1) Will I be able to deal with poop and vomit on a regular basis? 2) Will I get over my shyness when I go into clinicals, or will I embarrass myself in front of my fellow students, the...

  22. A&P grade?

    bekindtokittens replied to HTmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got A's in A&P I and II with lots of studying. I agree with the people who said attend every lecture. You can miss a lot just by missing one lecture. Attend all labs, and take advantage if...

  23. Hardest pre-reqs?

    bekindtokittens replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pathophysiology was definitely the hardest for me. At my school, Patho is built into the program, but you have the option to take it before you actually start the program. So I took it while waiting...

  24. What do you do about insane wait lists?

    bekindtokittens replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, are you enquiring about the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs? I live in Colorado Springs, and the talk I've heard is the wait to get into their BSN program is approximately two years,...
