  1. My First Clinical Deficiency (Long)

    Ladypie replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

    At my school, our instructor is next to us when it is time for meds. I am first year, but only just finished our first semester. From what I understand, we are never allowed to give meds...

  2. HIPAA violation? Please help...

    Ladypie replied to sgtbarbie's topic in General Students

    I know it's kind of been resolved for you, but I wonder why no one else showed up at the hospital that day. (even the instructor) Did you get the date or time wrong? Or did the others get in trouble...

  3. Lasik Eye Surgery: Whats Everyones Opinion?

    Ladypie replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I had it done 9 years ago. My vision was a little worse than yours. I had dryness and haloing at night (halos around streetlights and headlights) for a year. I used lubricating eye drops and just...

  4. Not accepted at Harford CC..?s

    Ladypie replied to kelly5416's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Did the letter state what the applicant's stats were? How many applied, what the lowest GPA was, etc? That is the info you need in order to determine how close you are to getting accepted. If this...

  5. Spring 09 Orientation...when is yours?

    Ladypie replied to CardioNRS~DAWN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My orientation is mid-December. The wait is killing me, although the acceptance packet did have some info in it concerning the dosage class and test, book costs, uniform costs and info about being...

  6. Pharmacology & Dosage Calc Tests - What did you have to know?

    Ladypie replied to Gabesmomma's topic in General Students

    Have you gone to an orientation yet? We got info about the dosage calc class in our acceptance packet. We also have the option to self-study. My school does not have the self-study guide in the...

  7. Do you Work?? If so, where, what hours, and pay?

    Ladypie replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I also start nursing school in January, and have been taking prereqs this last year. I have been working at a retail shoe store that is 3 minutes from our house. It is small--only me and one other...

  8. Clinical Help

    Ladypie replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

    I just got accepted to my nursing program, so I don't have any experience yet with clinicals. I have a couple questions for you, though, as your situation sounds bad: 1. Has anyone approached the...

  9. Poked myself with a syringe

    Ladypie replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Students

    Holy Smokes--did you know anyone who actually had to do that paper? I cannot

  10. Curious about how long you all have been waiting to be accepted

    Ladypie replied to studentmom2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also have a English degree, and was able to transfer over all my prereq classes. It took me a couple emails to get the math straight, because the college was not sure if the course from 15+ years...

  11. How do I pay my bills?

    Ladypie replied to PLM311's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you, I would get some roommates! I never lived on my own at your age. Money was too tight. And in LA? I can't imagine how you can even afford a place on your own. Maybe you can get lucky and...

  12. I failed Med Surg 1

    Ladypie replied to klaney's topic in General Students

    Holy Smokes! Your learning experience with this class is not going to be a good one. I can't believe the instructor's answer to those kinds of stats is to give a take-home test. (which I assume will...

  13. Vent..Cheating Students..and my bad test grade!!!

    Ladypie replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    Many honor codes require that you report any cheating that you are aware of. If you don't, they claim you can also be punished. I don't know if this actually happens, though. Usually I would not care...

  14. What's for supper...

    Ladypie replied to JHFaith's topic in General Students

    Heck, that sounds really good! I don't really care for fish much, but my husband does. We gave away our little foreman grill years ago. I think I will get one of the big ones. We have 3 kids and I...

  15. First weekend of clinicals and I'm beat!

    Ladypie replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I love it! I just got accepted to an evening/weekend program that starts in January. I don't know how soon they will get us in clinicals, but I can't wait. Wow, you were able to do a lot, too. What...

  16. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    Ladypie replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just found out I got accepted last night for a January start. The wait has been so long--I was rejected last year due to my GPA--that I am not as excited as I thought I would be! Maybe the shock...

  17. When the professor hates you WWYD (please help)

    Ladypie replied to DesertRain's topic in General Students

    I am sorry you have to deal with this. I agree with what other posters have said. Also, is it possible to arrive early enough to get a seat right up front? You may have to get there 30 minutes early,...

  18. Howard CC Nursing Program Feedback

    Ladypie replied to dcgrrl's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for answering. Can you call the hospital ahead of time to see if the assignments have been posted? Also, I assume the patient you are assigned is yours for the weekend. I think it's actually...

  19. Howard CC Nursing Program Feedback

    Ladypie replied to dcgrrl's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I also hope to get into FCC's evening program. When you go on Friday to get your assignment, how is that handled? Is there a list at the nurse's station? Can you go anytime that day? I sounds like a...

  20. what are my chances for acceptance! TCC

    Ladypie replied to emd88's topic in General Students

    I would not just take the advisor's word for it. Do you know what the previous year's applicant stats were? If not, ask the nursing dept for that info. Since you have finished the prereqs, you will...

  21. Retake Pre-req, vey concern BCC

    Ladypie replied to KdnRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would first ask if any of the grades can be forgiven because of your personal situation. Some schools allow this. Your school also requires a min gpa of 2.0, so you are above that. Getting classes...

  22. clogs?

    Ladypie replied to bon jovi's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You should clarify this with your school. I don't think that second pair is a clog, either, but if your school considers it one, then you should really get a list of acceptable shoes from them....

  23. I'm so bummed!!!

    Ladypie replied to dee78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know I would help out my friends in this kind of situation. I think the Christmas cleaning is a great idea, too. I would love it if someone cleaned my house at that time of year! Also, I don't like...

  24. In need of words of encouragement or advice.............

    Ladypie replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college nursing school is not that expensive, so even putting it on a low rate credit card isn't so bad. In 2 years I will be able to get a better paying job and pay it off. Do you have a...

  25. How do I break up with my study buddy?

    Ladypie replied to sunchild's topic in General Students

    I agree with this. While you can't hinder your own studies, I know that I would also benefit from teaching others the material. I also know I would hope that another student would help me if I had...
