  1. The dirty work?

    Serlait replied to viablecalifornialove's topic in General Students

    You know, we've tried to encourage you, but I gotta say you are really out of

  2. The dirty work?

    Serlait replied to viablecalifornialove's topic in General Students

    I feel like you missed my point totally. 513MissLady was correct. In school you will have total care of your patients and if you choose to work on a hospital floor as an RN, you will also experience...

  3. The dirty work?

    Serlait replied to viablecalifornialove's topic in General Students

    From my limited experience, most students graduate and spend at least a short period of time working "in the weeds" before moving on to management. I am working as a Clinical Assistant in a local...

  4. Need Sleep

    Serlait replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    I know this sounds extremely simplistic, but I was struggling with insomnia recently and my sweetie told me I needed to get "in the box". I asked him what he meant, and he said that the problem was...

  5. Any Other Students Having Trouble Finding a Job

    Serlait replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    I felt the exact same way when I was trying to get a job at the hospital. I sent in endless online applications, and received only a pre-printed postcard thanking me for my application. Our...

    Serlait replied to IJustWant2pass's topic in General Students

    Our clinical instructor suggested keeping a handful of cinnamon hard candies handy for just such events. Haven't tried it, but just a

  7. Need Help Wife is about to give up

    Serlait replied to SimonJester's topic in General Students

    Consider a Pulse Smartpen by Livescribe. You use the notebooks that come with the pen and the pen records lecture while it also keeps track of your notes. Then if you need to hear some particular...

  8. i feel like a failure BIG time

    Serlait replied to laogirlinSD's topic in General Students

    I don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful, but I'm wondering if English is your first language? The only reason I say this, is that a very dear friend is one year ahead of me in NS, and her first...

  10. Moving On?

    Serlait posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been a rather shy poster on the boards, but have been here for certain, rooting everyone on, celebrating with those who have been accepted and feeling the pain of those denied, whether I posted...

  12. Stupid question and a sane question :)

    Serlait replied to MissDA26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This thread made me laugh so much! I did the same thing. I actually took my acceptance letter to the school, then bout had a panic attack because I was scared I might have marked the wrong space....

  13. BSN to practice ethical dilemma - where do you stand?

    Serlait replied to sowelu88's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    For heavens sake, can this poor dead horse not be left alone??? Shall we beat it some more??? Obviously, there are strong feelings on both sides. You think anything you're going to post on this...

  14. bad grade anatomy ii

    Serlait replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't count on "junior college" anatomy being easier. I am at a community college, and my professor is extremely demanding. 2/3 of the class dropped to go to an "easier" professor. Also, my...

    Serlait replied to mt3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Another discouraged, unhappy camper here

    Serlait replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. I can't retain enough information!

    Serlait replied to Irishowl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shannon, What works best for you? Are you a visual learner, auditory learner, kinesthetic learner? Do you need to see it to remember it, hear it, touch it? When you know that work to that strength....

  20. What do you think about this reason for a grade?

    Serlait replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ACK! I have a 4.0 also, but I earned it. Sucking up to professors for grades seems disingenuous to me. While I definitely agree with you that it is imperative to be polite when approaching a...

  21. Statistics prerequisite

    Serlait replied to CAguyinMO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in the exact same boat....but took a chance and dove in. First few classes I thought i'd made a huge mistake, but then it got easier. The prof I had was great. We learned all the formulas on...
