    we're there for 12 hours. you can only get creative with your time for so long. in my 12 hours there, i completed the mother assessment (3 times), newborn assessment (3 times), studying for monday's...

  2. OB nursing is not my thing

    Jw1724 replied to Jw1724's topic in General Students

    Understandable. I get annoyed with I hear girls who don't like med-surg because of "everything theyre expected to do." It really makes me sad when I hear girls say "Wow OB would be good for me because...

  3. OB nursing is not my thing

    Jw1724 replied to Jw1724's topic in General Students

    I agree, I wish I could get more than I am out of this rotation but it's kind of hard when the instructor and nurses aren't giving us the opportunities. I've searched them out and although a lot of...

    Jw1724 replied to Jw1724's topic in General Students

  5. Carrying all that stuff to clinicals . . .

    Jw1724 replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I don't bring any books to clinical. Most units will have reference books for student and staff use. Some girls bring their nursing diagnosis book but I would never bother to bring my actual textbook....

  6. OB nursing is not my thing

    Jw1724 replied to Jw1724's topic in General Students

    I expect to loathe peds. I'm not a fan of kids, nevermind the anxious parents that will be with them (understandable on their part, but no thanks). It seems like most the girls want to do OB or peds...

  7. can't sleep

    Jw1724 posted a topic in General Students

    Does anyone else have this issue? I've been having trouble falling asleep at night, probably from stress. And then I finally get a chance to nap today and I just can't fall asleep even though I feel...

  10. can't sleep

    Jw1724 replied to Jw1724's topic in General Students

    I feel like we're the same person! I lose my appetite when I get stressed and I'm borderline hypoglycemic so that's quite an adventure ha... But I feel your pain. Not going to lie, all we had around...

  11. Rivier Students??

    Jw1724 replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in General Nursing

    You can make requests usually on where you'd RATHER be but it's never guaranteed. In fact this past semester we were told NO requests and NO changes to assignments because of the tight squeeze into...

    Jw1724 replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there. Maternity isn't bad, not my cup of tea but I'm doing 12 hour clinicals at Southern NH Med. Center in Nashua. It's kind of slow-going on weekends so I feel like I'm missing out a bit. We do...

  17. How much chemistry is there in NS?

    Jw1724 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in General Students

    Honestly, not a ton. Most of it seems biology based to me. Microbiology has some chemistry roots, and also pharmacology. You will be dealing with some chem in your nursing classes, otherwise I'm not...

  18. Starting to Stress

    Jw1724 replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in General Students

    I dont understand this. All the girls I've talked to who passed NCLEX this summer already have jobs and didn't have issues. I'm not sure how much of a rumor this is or what. Same with the "hiring from...

    Jw1724 replied to hinakpatel2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  23. Am I crazy?? Taking 15 credits??

    Jw1724 replied to Buffy31's topic in General Students

    I took bio and chem together and was fine. I'd be more worried about taking a nursing class and AP together (which I also did.) You'll make it, it just takes a lot of motivation. I'm currently in OB...
