    southernbelle08 replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    Yep, we wear white at my school! Not a big deal to me, I don't mind it.

  2. Patients whose gf/bf sleep with them in the hospital bed

    southernbelle08 replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't have an issue with it. Whatever makes people feel better, right? Now I dunno about the L&D situation....yeah, just wow.

  3. movng to tupelo area, where is a good place to work?

    southernbelle08 replied to fakemusician's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have done clinicals at Baptist in Booneville and in New Albany and we didn't do any computer charting either place and I believe they are mostly still on paper. Booneville is very

  4. Age you will/were graduated?

    southernbelle08 replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    Good Lord willing, I will be 22 when I graduate in May 2008.

  5. Anyone LOSE WEIGHT in nursing school?

    southernbelle08 replied to happydays352's topic in General Students

    I wish I was! I lost 27lbs over the summer, and I swear I have gained about half of that back so far this semester. I think it all depends on how you deal with stress. I tend to eat when I am stressed...

  6. movng to tupelo area, where is a good place to work?

    southernbelle08 replied to fakemusician's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't know enough about NMMC to tell you either way. I can tell you that I have a classmate who worked there as a CNA and is planning on going back there after graduation. So, by that I...

  7. New nursing student and AIDS patient

    southernbelle08 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it was a great experience. I helped with a Postpartum HIV patient and it really was sad how some people viewed her all because she was HIV+. Just go in with an open mind, ready to learn...

  8. Recapping needles

    southernbelle08 replied to heather318's topic in General Students

    I'm guilty of recapping needles after I draw meds up. I normally don't in front of my instructor, but I do in front of Preceptors. I did just today after I drew up some med for an IV push. I don't...

  9. No She/he Did Not!!!

    southernbelle08 replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    This thread is HILARIOUS!!! Oh no she didn't - grab a pack of Sweet n' Low when the nurse asked her to get some sugar for a patient having a hypoglycemic attack. She is still in my clinical group and...

  10. movng to tupelo area, where is a good place to work?

    southernbelle08 replied to fakemusician's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I am from New Albany, actually. :) I don't know how familiar you are with the area, but NA is a really small town so if you are looking for a lot of excitement, I'd probably go elsewhere. I have a...

  11. Daytonite....

    southernbelle08 replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in General Students

    I wish you the best as well and am SO thankful you are here to share with us. I say this with complete seriousness -- you have helped me understand several things that my instructor's have failed to...

  12. Discussing grades with classmates?

    southernbelle08 replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Students

    This is one thing that bugs the CRAP out of me! I share with my close friends, I don't mind that at all....but when someone I barely, or have never, speak to comes up and asks me....I'm kinda knowing...

  13. Needles

    southernbelle08 replied to nursetobe512's topic in General Students

    When I have a fear of something, I find just exposing myself to it over and over helps me get over it. I don't have the fear you do, so I really don't have any grand advice. I have a fear of starting...

  14. What is the passing test grade at your school?

    southernbelle08 replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Students

    75 is passing where I go. 90-100 = A 80-89 = B 75-79 =

  15. Memphis NICU ?

    southernbelle08 replied to southernbelle08's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Thank you!

  16. Memphis NICU ?

    southernbelle08 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hi all.... I'm here wondering if anyone could answer a question for me. I am VERY interested in NICU and will be moving to Memphis after graduation in May of 2008. For a long while I thought one would...

  17. Usually an A student--got a C on 1st exam

    southernbelle08 replied to veronica123's topic in General Students

    Keep your chin up, it's gonna happen! I made better grades before nursing school too, but I am thankful for what I make in the program now! As for your instructor - I have had some like that and I...

  18. Do you work night clinicals?

    southernbelle08 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't do night clinicals and I wish they did! All of our's are 6:30-4:30 or later. But we're out before 6PM

  19. First week of nursing school and I already had my first good cry

    southernbelle08 replied to curlylocks29's topic in General Students

    You'll make it! There are times it will seem very overwhelming, but somehow we just make it through. Take it one day at a time.

  20. I need a pep talk!

    southernbelle08 replied to Jado0114's topic in General Students

    I completely agree. Great grades don't always mean that person is a fantastic nurse. Now I am not saying your family member isn't, I don't know her so I couldn't possibly make that assumption. But I...

  21. I need a pep talk!

    southernbelle08 replied to Jado0114's topic in General Students

    I honestly read this and thought "What's the problem?!" :) But no...I do understand. On some tests, I would be glad to take an 80...but I totally understand that feeling. I made an 88 on my first test...

  22. IV Therapy

    southernbelle08 replied to tabswifeRN's topic in General Students

    We started it during our second semester.

  23. How do you handle rude nurses?

    southernbelle08 replied to xiloscient's topic in General Students

    I've never had a problem. I think it is all about how you go into the situation. I try to respect the fact that I am learning and even though myself and my entire group are there for the day...it is...

  24. How do you wear your hair???

    southernbelle08 replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    We pretty much have to wear ours up. I actually get mine cut about shoulder length before each semester, so I can stick it up in a ponytail that is shorter and easier to manage. If we have our hair...
