  1. Health promotion project

    JudithL_in_NH replied to linkay77's topic in General Students

    Get in touch with your local Elementary or Middle Schools' health teachers--they're sure to have ideas of ways you can help in their classes. A friend and I assisted in a class about "Body...

  2. Start a family VS nursing school

    JudithL_in_NH replied to e_pigpig's topic in General Students

    It will be much easier to go to school if you do so before you start a family. Nursing school involves long hours and lots of stress--not a great mix with first-time motherhood. I know a student...

  3. ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    JudithL_in_NH replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    Been following this thread from the beginning and holding my tongue ;-) I know from whence I speak: I'm a previous bachelor's degree (took me until 28 to get it; had no $$ & no family support),...

  4. HELP... I am Grade obsessed

    JudithL_in_NH replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    I had a mother who'd scream "What do you mean you only got a 98! Why wasn't it 100?!" then smack me a few times for good measure (It was the 50s--it was fashionable and acceptable to smack kids...

  5. anyone joined NSNA? Is it helpful?

    JudithL_in_NH replied to timewood's topic in General Students

    Here's a link to a recent thread with mostly positive commentary about NSNA: https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74097&highlight=NSNA You may want to ask some senior students at your...

  6. mommies and clinicals

    JudithL_in_NH replied to cnelle101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    andrea and i attend branches of the same program and we hear this "flexibility" mantra pretty often. i've felt that the flexibility that's expected of us as students is mostly a flagrant lack of...

  7. mommies and clinicals

    JudithL_in_NH replied to cnelle101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my program, offical clinical times are 7-3, however, often it's really 6:45-3:30 or 4:15, somewhat at the whim of the instructor--and you usually don't find out until the first clinical day....

  8. Boring Part Of BSN

    JudithL_in_NH replied to freelancer's topic in General Students

    i love community! just finished a partial rotation at a camp and it stretched my assessment and interpersonal skills more than any in-hospital rotation has! also fired up an interest in...

  9. Self Harm/Suicide threats

    JudithL_in_NH posted a topic in Camp

    What is your camp's policy in dealing with a homesick camper who hints at, or outright claims, s/he has thoughts of self harm or suicide? Do you assess the seriousness of the claim and counsel the...

  10. How do you pick your clinical assignment?

    JudithL_in_NH replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    Hi, Whitney-- I'm at NHCTC in Manchesta. Most of the clinical sites are between 35-45 minutes from me--plus you have to add in another 15 minutes since they make the students park in another county...

  11. How do you pick your clinical assignment?

    JudithL_in_NH replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    We're assigned, plain and simple. Get a letter a couple of weeks before the semester starts. Virtually no input regarding site or instructor allowed or desired by the faculty. We can request to...

  12. Recieved My Rn License!!!

    JudithL_in_NH replied to ADNCyn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :balloons: congrats!

  13. Bilingual or not?

    JudithL_in_NH replied to ShellyNC's topic in General Students

    BA in French and in NH, too--where I work we actually see a fair number of quebecoise memes--last night I interpreted for one who came in with chest pain. I'm working on my Spanish, cause even here...

  14. psych clinical-what to expect??

    JudithL_in_NH replied to earthflower's topic in General Students

    We also wore street clothes with just a name tag. I found it very slow paced. Often the clients could take stimulation in only small doses, so you'd chat with someone x5 minutes, then need to leave...

  15. Scared of the required psych nursing...

    JudithL_in_NH replied to FutureArmyNurse's topic in General Students

    S: I have two weeks left of my Psych rotation and I will be glad when it is over. Just not my cup of tea. I have found my comfort level there, though, and don't detest going--it's just not an area...

  16. What school are we all going to?

    JudithL_in_NH replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Nursing

  17. anyone ever taken ACCELERATED A&P??

    JudithL_in_NH replied to a_clay's topic in General Students

    I did an accelerated A&PII. It was class for five hours three times a week for six weeks. It was 5-10PM Monday, Weds, and Friday--and I'm not much of a night person! It felt like all I did was...

  18. Having trouble hearing with stethoscope

    JudithL_in_NH replied to MisterArnold's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I also have a minor hearing deficit from an injury as a child. I bought a Littmann Master Classic II cuz folks recommended it highly--but I've been having the darndest time with hearing just about...

  19. No, no, no, I am getting a bad cold!!!

    JudithL_in_NH replied to TeresaRN2b's topic in General Students

    Get REST, REST, REST :zzzzz this weekend if you can! I'm sending healthy vibes your way! Our policy is two absences only (which do have to be made up--and paid for!) After two absences, you must...

  20. is a spanish course needed for nursing

    JudithL_in_NH replied to Cs Jinx's topic in General Students

    Because of my state's proximity to Québec, several nurses have told me it's an advantage that I can speak French, and, to be honest, it's only rarely necessary. In LTC you sometimes encounter a...

  21. Last day of clinicals

    JudithL_in_NH replied to maire's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's far from pointless . . . it's positively awesome! What a way to end the

  22. Not enough time to finish my Chemistry test!

    JudithL_in_NH replied to gordi24's topic in General Students

    That does stink! Particularly if you weren't allowed to concentrate for the final 15 minutes. It was very inconsiderate (and not very good pedagogy, either) of the of the prof both to rush you and...

  23. Nurse Extern

    JudithL_in_NH replied to Nurse Izzy's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a great opportunity! I have a good part-time job now; I work tutoring writing from home--it's a good gig and pays well. However, as I progress in my nursing studies, I'd really like to...

    JudithL_in_NH replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Just observed two drug reps in a doc's office yesterday: --both 20-something males, --both positively drop-deap gorgeous (they made the Bachelorette guys look drab) --both dressed in suits easily...

  25. Help me study for A&P

    JudithL_in_NH replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    I picked up my A&P texts today and the Anatomy and Physiology coloring books were among the required texts. Years ago, in another life as a medical transcriptionist, I attended a professional...
