I know what you mean. we have clinicals two days a week and are in the classroom only two as well....yet we have the same amout of school work as we did when we had 4 days in class (a lot!) On top of that we have added clinical assignments (patient p...

*cute* :) I remember waiting for my letter in the mail. Of course, I was too much in a hurry and ended up calling & getting the secretary at the office to tell me if I got in or not. woohoo :)

One time when I was listening to resp. I told someone to "take a deep breast" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the NCLEX-PN made easy. I like it alot and it has actually helped me do some of my clinical work. I've seen those little flip books of nursing notes and those look like something handy to have as well...kinda pricey though...

That sounds like a horrible teacher! I do admit though, that if someone says that I'm going to fail, or that I can't possibly do something then I strive my best to prove them wrong.

Hey, I have a question. I'm having problems hearing respirations with my stethoscope (it's a good one, a Littman, the lightweight model). I can hear pulses and bowel signs fine but I'm having problem hearing the breathing. Any tips? xoxo Kay

Off to a great start, I hope your little one gets to feeling better. Talk about stress! xoxo Kay

yes, you definatly want the eartubs pointing towards your nose :) Try bending the metal part inwards and then outwards so that it won't feel like it's pushing into your brain. I had the same problem with my stethoscope at first until I did that. xox...

I'm here still. I have no time to write though during the week though. school is going well, making all a's and high b's so far (of course it is going on the 3rd week only) xoxo

My laptop has a crappy battery and I there isn't a outlet to plug it into anyways. I am probably just going to write out my notes w/ pen & paper and type them up later. oh, I want a pda, that would be so convenient I bet.

Golly! That is expensive for just one class. My total for all my books this year is 600 bucks---that is about 10 books or so though. Hugs, Kay

I was wanting to make a webpage that I could keep a journal of my nursing school experiences and maybe post my notes on. Do any of you have a personal site for that purpose?

that's right.

I start on Monday. (the 11th) My list of stuff to do before school started included cleaning the house top to bottom. I have got a lot done but I wish I had of worked on it more.

It's almost here! I have been waiting since last August for this Monday! I don't know what to expect or what to wear. I pray that my kids do well in daycare (first time for my 2 year old and my 4 year old hasn't been since he was a year old). I ha...

Thanks :) We have visited the daycare twice and Mikey was introduced to all the kids and the teachers and I left him there for about a hour. He seemed to like it but an hour isn't the same as all day. My 2 year old was playing so much he didn't notic...

Thanks for the suggestions and good wishes :) I will be sure to update MOnday evening! Hugs! Kay

Yeah! Congrats!

those sound like pretty hard classes. best of luck! xoxo Kay

That brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing that story, I'm going to copy/paste it to a e-mail and send it to a few of my friends who are going thru some hard times. Thank you again. Hugs & God bless, Kay

Teresa, I will keep you in my prayers. It sounds like your going thru a tough time getting everything in place for school. I pray that your sister will be reliable since this is a big thing! $150 really isn't a lot, praise the Lord you were able to g...

Hey :) Your going to be such a great nurse. That is wonderful that you are so determined and confiedent. Much luck to you, although you won't need it superman! Kay

Your kidding right? I hope you are.

Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about all that your dealing with. I'm sure everything will work out in the end... God knows what he's doing.

I hear you. I had to get all of that plus a mmr, a 2nd tb skin test (they didn't have the record of me getting it--so the next week after having it done & checked I had to do it again! grr), and they had to take a 3rd blood sample for my chicken ...
