  1. nerves/confidence

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to student_nurse1986's topic in General Students

    For example, we did a presentation last year on Board of Ethics and I bought bookmarks and passed them out, and it kept them busy reading while I was talking. LOL That was a pretty good distractor I...

  2. i need some help with math!

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    There are different ways to get the correct answer when doing Pharm Math. It does not matter how you get there, as long as you get there. When in doubt I always use ratio- proportion technique and I...

  3. nerves/confidence

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to student_nurse1986's topic in General Students

    I hated Public Speaking! I am not a shy person either, but something about being in front of a large group of people and having attention drawn towards me just made me very uncomfortable. It would...

  4. I failed my class (BUT I FEEL GREAT)

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

    I think you will do fine next time you take the class. I went into Nursing with a 4.0 GPA because of a previous degree. But, nothing could have prepared me for test taking when it came to nursing. I...

  5. How was Nurses Week celebrated at your Facility

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems the hospital are always in dire times when it comes to celebrating "nurses week". If they do not acknowledge it, why even have a NURSES WEEK? It just upsets alot of nurses and makes the...

  6. I failed my class (BUT I FEEL GREAT)

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

    We lost almost half the class after the first semester. I think they overwhelm you on purpose and throw alot of busy work at you just to see if you have what it takes to make it. I graduate this...

  7. Older students biased against younger students?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    I am graduating with my RN next month at the sweet age of 45! Wahoooooo!!! I have respect for all ages that have been able to get through this intense program. During the last two years in nursing...

  8. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please do not brag about how you did not open a book, but once again was able to get that "A" on our nursing exam. Hmmm.... wonder how that happened? Or, if it really did happen? LOL... (who cares...

  9. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    It does not matter if you have all As in Nursing School. There are several booksmart nurses out there that do not know how to apply it in the clinical field. I have seen many put stress on themselves...

  10. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    I have one more semester left in the ADN program and being 44, I can tell you that age does not matter when it comes to going back to school. My nursing class ranges from ages 20 - 50, and I have...

  11. Need Advice

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to wlb06's topic in General Students

    I think you should move back in with your parents because nursing school is so intense and you will be so busy studying, I am sure you will not have time to "go crazy" while living back at home. We...

  12. Why are we having so much trouble passing Med Surg?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to phoenixfire's topic in General Students

    I think if theres a problem with so many flunking a test (e.g. 4 out of 50 passing) they did not get the content. In my opinion that would be the instructors fault, not the 95 % that flunked the test....

  13. What makes NS so hard?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    I think what makes nursing school so difficult is because you are overwhelmed the entire time you are in school. Then at test time, they have 4 correct answers and you have to pick the "BEST ANSWER"....

  14. Advice for student beginning psych clinicals?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Psychiatric

    We are to wear No laynards because they could be dangerous. We have to dress very conservative and wear nothing suggestive. Many of these patients are hypersexual. One thing I have learned is to never...

  15. Mean nursing instructors

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to nicki123's topic in General Students

    There are always going to be instructors that can and will make your clinical experience a miserable, stressful time. But, many times these are the instructors you can learn from the most. I just...

  16. Ugh, my insomnia is killing me

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Students

    I think sleep deprivation goes along with nursing school. Last semester was the worst for me. If I knew that early morning clinicals were coming, I would lay in bed and worry about over sleeping to...

  17. Woohoo!! I cleaned the shower today!!

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to Rianna1's topic in General Students

    I would say if you walk in anyones house that is in nursing school, it is not going to be spotless. In order to get through NS you have to be able to "let go" of the unnecessary task of everyday...

  18. who is tired?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to shellpsychrn's topic in General Students

    I think its normal to suffer burn out while in school. Everyone in my class is going through it now, especially dragging to school in 80 degree weather. I mean who wants to sit in a lecture when its...
