1. Was this rude or should I just shrug it off?

   RNAlmost10 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

   Shake it off, but know that some of your class mates are glad you ask questions because they have the same ones and may be too shy to ask! In high school, I had minor surgery with major complications and when I came back to school one of my teacher'...

3. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

   RNAlmost10 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

   I would say: " Do you remember-- what it was like to be a student? To stay up all night studying and then barely pass? To go to bed at 3 am and get up at 5 am? To be so sleep deprived that you fantasize about sleep? To kind of forget what your fa...

4. Few questions for current students, along with a general one. (please read)

   RNAlmost10 replied to Rainbows's topic in General Students

   Hey! You came to the right place to get advice. I will graduate from NS in August. (YAY!) If you get your ADN, you can work just about anywhere! The only thing you might need a BSN for is if you ever wanted to go into management, some hospitals ...

5. Underwear and white scrubs?

   RNAlmost10 replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

   If you wear white scrubs you must wear nude panties! At my school we were not allowed to wear thongs and "nude" panties were considered part of our uniform. So I'd go with nude panties if I were you!!!

7. Failing med-surg!!

   RNAlmost10 replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

   Also try "Straight A's in Med Surg", it helped me. Also the NCLEX books because that is where your teachers are going to get a lot of there questions from!

8. So overwhelmed! I can't do this

   RNAlmost10 replied to Bluestem's topic in New Nurse

   Maybe you should try just a med/surg floor, where things are less critical. You wouldnt feel so overwhelmed! You can work so many places, doctor's offices, home health, hospice, etc. So maybe you would work better in a less stress environment! Ho...

9. How overwhelmed and/or tired will I be?

   RNAlmost10 replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

   The first 3 semesters are VERY hard. Tha amount of material you have to learn is crazy! But semesters 4 and 5 get easier, your patients may be sicker but you class work winds down so you have more time to focus on clinicals. Like I am in my 4 th s...

10. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    RNAlmost10 replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    My mantra? I am not sure I have one but someone once asked me "What do they call the person who graduates last?" The answer? A NURSE!!! And I keep telling myself to just keep on keepin on!

11. Anyone else about to graduate and...

    RNAlmost10 replied to JessiekRN's topic in General Students

    Yes, I feel the same way! I will graduate in a few months and the closer it gets the more freaked out I become! But one of the hospitals I do clinicals at has an intership program for new RN's, you pick 6 units/floors and stay there for one month, ...
