    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Lennonninja replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Before I was accepted, I would always just say that I was "getting ready for nursing school" and hoped to start in Aug 2009. Now that I'm halfway through school and work as a tech in the hospital, I...

    Lennonninja replied to mater44's topic in General Students

    Hourly rounding signoff sheet

    Lennonninja replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    We have the hourly rounding sheets too, and on night shift it's definitely a huge pain. For some reason, the people on the floor I'm a tech on barely sleep at all. And when you're going in every hour...

    Can a shy student become an effective nurse?

    Lennonninja replied to sunshine5889's topic in General Students

    I've always been shy, and could be plenty happy to not leave the apartment for days at a time. I'm naturally inclined to be a hermit and so is my husband. I can "act" like a social person while I'm in...

    Did you choose....or were you chosen?

    Lennonninja replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in my final year of nursing school, and I didn't know what I wanted to do exactly, but this past summer I did an internship on a cardiac floor and that's definitely where I want to be now! Can't...

    Lennonninja replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    Those of you who were able to get your reading assignments before the school year are extremely lucky. We aren't allowed to have any assignments ahead of time, even if we beg. So because of that,...

    I had summer "off" from school, but I worked 3 12 hour shifts a week for my nurse internship and 1 10 hour day a week at my regular job too, so I kept plenty busy. I never really got a chance to rest...

    Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    Lennonninja replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    I definitely gained weight during the first semester. I was too busy to put the time in to cook meals or pack lunches so it was fast food all the time. Got on the scale at Christmas and wanted to cry....
