  1. Uncertain, scared, H1N1 fears, and not feeling encouraged at home (long)

    JBGC4 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    "I just think it's probably more practical not to do it, at least not at this time, but I want to just go for it even thought my parents think I'm putting myself in a world of misery and a disaster if...

  2. Uncertain, scared, H1N1 fears, and not feeling encouraged at home (long)

    JBGC4 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    You could H1N1 anywhere, anyhow. I don't think going to school will increase your chances of being infected. Lot's of people go to school and work full time. Yes, it will be hard, but some out...

  3. Binders ect. for school

    JBGC4 replied to Cdnurstudent's topic in General Students

    Instead of maybe lugging around all those binders, along w/ super books, you could buy one 2 inch binder tabbing each class for handouts. Buy a 1 or 3 section notebook for each class. This way, all...

  4. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    JBGC4 replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    I thought this was the best explained answer so far. The comparison you made w/ your children is something I get, lol. And, I'm glad you made it and here is why. I have been checking this thread,...

  5. Tetanus Shot--Did yours hurt??

    JBGC4 replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    My nurse warned me that my tetorifice shot could hurt up to a couple of days. And it did. They say to try and move your arm as much as you can to work that muscle. Mine was so sore the first night...

  6. Netter's or Barron's Anatomy Flash Cards?

    JBGC4 replied to Cdnurstudent's topic in General Students

    We too took pics of the slides when she put them on overhead. If you had a good enough camera, you could do it. If you didn't, you just asked a classmate if they wouldn't mind printing out a pic for...

  7. Netter's or Barron's Anatomy Flash Cards?

    JBGC4 replied to Cdnurstudent's topic in General Students

    I used Netters. Honestly, I didn't really use them. I took my digital camera to class and took pictures of the models etc. in the lab. Then developed the pics and took a thin Sharpie and labeled...

  8. Do you have a home office for school? What's your system?

    JBGC4 posted a topic in General Students

    I am thinking of purchasing a desk w/ a hutch system just for school. A "hands off" place for me to keep all my books, even just for reference like AnP, my hole punch, a place to do homework, keep my...

  9. Nursing shortage....really?

    JBGC4 replied to Gumerk's topic in General Students

    Well, I will say this, I think we are still doing better than some of the other professions out

  10. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    JBGC4 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    "Please, please, please, turn your cell phone's 'vibrating' ringtone off when we are taking a test. All it's doing is distracting me and causing me to focus on your gum smacking. And YES, even tho...

  11. obtaining a bsn?

    JBGC4 replied to sleepyhead4's topic in General Students

    Well, I'll cut you some slack since I see from another post, you are still in High School. I have to give you props for evening thinking of College b/c when I was in High School forever ago, I was...

  12. PDA's...do you use them in your clinical, really?

    JBGC4 posted a topic in General Students

    I have seen some post's about PDA's. I have seen that it is another forum topic under "General." My clinical book that I am reading, (check out my other post) has an instructor recommending a PDA....

  13. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    JBGC4 replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    Take it as a learning experience. They say the skin needs to be thick if you are a nurse. You have to deal w/ mean patients, mean family members, mean nurses and some really nasty physicians. Better...

  14. "How to Survive Clinicals" A great book for us nursing students.

    JBGC4 posted a topic in General Students

    I found this book while picking up my Davis's Drug Guide. "How to Survive Clinicals," by Diann L. Martin PhD, RN. It is advice from Nursing Students and Instructors who have been there. It's...

  15. "How to Survive Clinicals" A great book for us nursing students.

    JBGC4 replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    Me too! I think the quotes are settling. I feel like the advice is GREAT! Especially from the instructors view, I always wonder what they will be thinking!!! For some reason, and I won't be...

  16. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    JBGC4 replied to msdeannah's topic in General Students

    Ha! I do wear mid-rise and my butt hangs out of those!!! It's hard to find pants. But, (no pun) I will say I do have a few pairs of shorts/pants that don't show the great divide and it's common sense...

  17. Nursing Students Who Worry About Finding Jobs When They Graduate

    JBGC4 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Students

    People assume that Nursing is recession proof. Sure, it may be for someone who is already a nurse, but not for one looking to be hired. Unemployment is not our friend right now. Because of...

  18. Nursing shortage....really?

    JBGC4 replied to Gumerk's topic in General Students

    My instuctor informed our class the first day that a few of their nurses, (that had graduated and passed the NCLEX) hadn't found jobs. That the recession does affect nursing- people are losing their...

  19. Those of you who understand chemistry well

    JBGC4 replied to ccjus123's topic in General Students

    Those are all the same. Don't worry-I was afraid of Chem as well. I got an A and I am now a Chem lover!!! The math/algebra is very, very, very basic. It will also help ease you into some of the...

  20. Worried

    JBGC4 replied to joeyww12000's topic in General Students

    I may be off here- are switching careers for the money? If so, I think electrician's make about the same amount of money if not more, than a RN. I just wouldn't want to see you struggle for four...

  21. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    JBGC4 replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    Ha- I agree. Those who are getting wasted all weekend deserve what they get! I can't imagine trying to actually study w/ a hangover. Or worse, do clinicals. I will say this- to confine working your...

  22. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    JBGC4 replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

  23. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    JBGC4 replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

    I do feel

  24. clip board with or without calculator attached...which is better?

    JBGC4 posted a topic in General Students

    Wondering from anyone who has had any clinicals if they recommended a clip board w/ or w/out the calc. attached. I was thinking I would pass on the attached and just use a pocket calc, since that is...

  25. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    JBGC4 replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    The idea that a physician or nurse has the patients wellness as their last concern (referring to an above post) sickens me. I almost lost my daughter a year ago b/c of e.coli/HUS disease. It's...
