    Did anyone move back home to attend nursing school?

    Do-over replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    Yes, and it is great to have this level of support from my folks. I am very grateful for the help. However, it is a little tough to be in my mid-thirties and living back at home =), I do miss having...

    Fear of Failure

    Do-over replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Students

    :yeahthat: I am pretty sure this is how it went for us with Foundations and MS1. Most of the people that didn't make it had problems with exams - not lab/clinical. Lab and clinical were very...

    Do-over replied to Justforus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm impressed that you all are actually reading ahead... I have my books sitting in front of me (as I type) but haven't managed to settle in and read much. It is kind of silly that I can't focus and...

    Difficulty hearing pulse with stethoscope

    Do-over replied to merkleyb's topic in General Nursing

    FWIW, I don't generally take correction as an insult. If I am wrong, I can handle it. As for whether or not one would be able to hear a brachial pulse - I can't (never tried until saw your post -...

    Eating before clinicals

    Do-over replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    I keep a granola bar in my pocket and then make sure I actually eat it! One day I didn't - I had to leave the room with the woozies while observing a procedure because I was running on empty....

    Difficulty hearing pulse with stethoscope

    Do-over replied to merkleyb's topic in General Nursing

    Are you actually trying to take a BP (with a cuff), or just listening for a pulse? You won't hear a pulse if you are just placing the steth over the brachial

    Some in my clinical group had cargo-style pants (pockets on the legs) and they were OK. I would just be sure they aren't "scrub" pants, in other words, no draw-string

    Med Surg....... what to expect???

    Do-over replied to lisa-rn2b's topic in General Students

    Well, we had Foundations first half of the semester, then MS1 the second half, so it was really "putting it all together", or trying to at least... We did focus on surgical and diabetic patients,...

    How do you find the time to work out while in nursing school? Help i gained 10lbs!

    Do-over replied to Tats88's topic in General Students

    Personally, I get in more trouble from eating poorly as opposed to lack of exercise. I was able to control my eating during the semester, and so did not gain weight. I am not saying I ate like a...

    Do-over replied to lisa-rn2b's topic in General Students

    I just finished med-surg 1 and had a great, and challenging, time. The main thing my instructor focused on for clinical was to watch the WHOLE patient - what are their normals? What are their trends...

    Do-over replied to QuietRN's topic in General Students

    We jumped right in on our first day. we did cover the syllabus but also got started on the content. We didn't start clinicals right away, but the first day of clinicals was very intimidating for me....

    For your orientation, take some cash - you may be able to buy your name tag and patch(es) there. We were able to last summer. Other than that, just rest up. It will be here before you know it. I...
