  1. On vacation..can't stop studying!

    cmonkey replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    I signed up for a gym class. If there's a credit or a grade attached, I'll do it. Otherwise, not so

  2. On vacation..can't stop studying!

    cmonkey replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    I've got 72 days until classes start and I'll freely admit to having a textbook or three on my bedside table. We actually have reading assignments from orientation, so it's not like I'm super geeking...

  3. Had multiple PPD's can this be harmful?

    cmonkey replied to dblpn's topic in General Nursing

    I have to do a 2-step for school and I'm not worried about it. What are you worried it's going to do,

  4. Titers or vaccines?

    cmonkey replied to Barbe's topic in General Students

    Do you have kids? Your OB most likely did a titer on you and you can get those

  5. Bleb reduced almost instantly

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not worried about a rxn, really. I just wondered if losing the bleb right away was a problem. I don't think there's a lot of TB in the community here, though who

  6. Bleb reduced almost instantly

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    That would explain the bruise, too, I guess. lol Thanks! I don't mind going for another if I have to, but if I

  7. Help on what I need for school?

    cmonkey replied to MegLPNstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd add a rolling book bag or cart (with a lid so you can sit on it), Potsie. Whoa, way to date myself. A lot of people are using the smartpen and I'm tempted by it because I take notes that make...

  8. Laptop vs. Pen/Paper

    cmonkey replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends. Are you a person who can make short notes and relate them to the lecture, or do you need much more detail? If the former, save your bucks and use paper. If the latter, type it out (if...

  9. What's your favorite computer charting program?

    cmonkey replied to TDCHIM's topic in General Nursing

    I was an abstractor at a facility that used EPIC and I thought it was slicker than snot. Of course I wasn't doing documentation in it, but if I get a job after I graduate, I may get to see it from the...

  11. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    cmonkey replied to European's topic in General Students

    If you go into ANY job strictly for the money, you will grow to hate it in record

    Can't you just see us, marching up the front walk with a huge fish in each

  13. Patho, Summer 2010

    cmonkey replied to thatsthekeyRNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took mine online at Lake Superior College in Duluth. It was fun. No texts required, though you do have to have access to labs. Lots of those available online, so it's not hard to get the information...

  14. At what age did you decide on nursing?

    cmonkey replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I was 39, and I had three kids under 5. Meh, nursing school doesn't sound that bad right now. PS, 41 now, kids are 6, 4, 19m. I start August 23rd And I didn't get my BA until I was 37 or so?...

  15. Today after clinical I broke down in Tears!!:(

    cmonkey replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    See, that's why I think nursing is awesome. You never know what you're going to see that day. Whee! If you got a job in a peds office, or any office for that matter, you'd probably see day-in, day-out...

  16. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    cmonkey replied to European's topic in General Students

    I haven't even started classes yet and I can tell you it's nursing. Pre-reqs were easy peasy (okay, not totally, but I got As or Bs in all of them). Even statistics is looking easy, now that I have a...

  17. How to keep shoes white?!?!

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

    For crocs and similar rubber shoes, I toss mine in the dishwasher. They come out clean (and

  19. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, my grammar is fine. You may take issue with the syntax, but since I'm not writing for a class or publication, it's perfectly acceptable. I also don't believe I slammed anyone, since I was...

  20. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, since I think I was the first person to use "taint" as a noun on this board, I know you can't mean I'm one of the people who are unable to loosen up. And I don't mean that people need to run...

  21. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    cmonkey replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    I haven't. I may look into that, though. They must wick well, along with whatever fabric magic they work. We have a lot of hikers around here so I'll ask them.

  22. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    cmonkey replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    Oh, I'm all about trial runs. I have three kids so everything that seems like a Bright Idea™ gets at least two trials before I take it out into the world. I may put elastic in the

  23. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely, and I don't think anyone would disagree with you at all. The thing that gets me, though, is that people are often here for advice about their jobs. If you can't be bothered to communicate...

  24. How much did you pay for books your first year?

    cmonkey replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    Bookstore says $1200, Amazon says $500. Guess where I'm
