1. Child abuse

   FutureNavyNrs replied to blueeyedgoose's topic in General Students

   How awful. I think you did the right thing by saying something, for what it's worth. I haven't ever seen anything out in the community, but if I did, I'd like to think that I'd stand up and say something the way you did. I had the hardest time in Pe...

2. No Pharmacology class!!!!

   FutureNavyNrs replied to nursekrys's topic in General Students

   We had a separate pharm class, but it was back in 2nd semester and I'm sure I don't remember half of what I learned. The way that our instructor taught it to us was to break it down by class and then teach us a representative drug of each class. It h...

   I'm thinking really good thoughts for you. Just remember to relax, and you will do fine. Good Luck!

4. driving an hour each way to school while working full time

   FutureNavyNrs replied to BethT's topic in General Students

   Right there with you. Or, I was, until last semester. I really couldn't handle working full time, taking care of my three kids, and dealing with nursing school and a two hour commute on top of it. So, I quit. I still have the drive though. I have lea...

5. Pregant during Nursing School?

   FutureNavyNrs replied to mena24's topic in General Students

   I would think that it would be very difficult. It's do-able, for sure (one of my classmates had a baby in the middle of first semester and one had one in the middle of second semester), but I'm not sure I'd do it. It's hard enough to make it through ...

6. Cleaning up vomit

   FutureNavyNrs replied to caliwannabenurse's topic in General Students

   I've found that you just get used to it. This was a big concern of mine, and my very first day of clinicals found me with a patient who barfed throughout my whole shift. I spent a lot of time cleaning up barf, holding a pan while she barfed, giving h...

7. 50 out of 100 Nursing students failed program

   FutureNavyNrs replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

   I'm in my fifth semester of a BSN program and while we started with 48, we will have 43 graduating. We have lost 8 and gained three - two from the class ahead of us and one that transferred from another campus. I was a straight A student going into t...

8. Just wondering

   FutureNavyNrs replied to BeachPrincess's topic in General Students

   What has helped me as I've been going through school is to skim the assigned reading before lecture, and underline in pencil anything I think is going to be important. Then, I go to lecture and take notes, and then I go back over the assigned reading...

9. I just don't know anymore.....

   FutureNavyNrs replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in General Students

   I'm sorry things are so hard for you right now. I also had a difficult time during second semester, but nothing like what you are going through. I have no advice for you (and it doesn't look like you're seeking advice), but I can tell you that even t...

10. How many classmates have you lost?

    FutureNavyNrs replied to GeauxNursing's topic in General Students

    I'm in the fall semester of my senior year of a BSN program and we started out with 48. We've lost 8 so far (four first semester, and two each the last two semesters), but had three join us from the class ahead of us. About half of the class is curre...

11. OMG.Do Nursing students really practice on eachother??

    FutureNavyNrs replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    We don't practice much on each other either - just the noninvasive stuff that we covered first semester - so vitals, bed baths, ADL's, restraints, turning, changing linens, etc. We also did blood glucose testing on each other, but that wasn't a big d...
