  2. I have to vent about my application

    SurroDoula posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I applied on Oct 1 for Sept 2010. Didn't expect to hear anything for awhile. Today is the first day to apply for Jan 2011. I checked the status of my application around 9, and nothing had changed,...

  3. OT: engagement rings during clinicals?

    SurroDoula replied to K_girl's topic in General Students

    We aren't allowed to wear any rings with stones, so I have a plain band for

  4. What do you do between classes.

    SurroDoula replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Clean the house. Wander around aimlessly when I am done. Then I try to visit as many people/get out of the house as much possible, because otherwise I get restless with not being constantly busy (and...

  5. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    SurroDoula replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    If someone tells me I can't do something, my stubborn side comes out and I prove them

  6. Pulling up your long hair....

    SurroDoula replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I have thin hair, so no headaches here, but putting it up all the time drove me crazy. I had it cut short a few weeks ago, and could not be

    Milk sharing is a wonderful thing. I have 2 children of my own, but have provided milk for 8 infants, one of whom couldn't tolerate any form of

  9. Netbooks for NS?

    SurroDoula replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I love mine! I would recommend getting one with a 6 cell battery if power sources are an issue at your school - I can go all day without needing to find a plug in. I avoid the need for a flash drive...

  10. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    SurroDoula replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    I use a rolling backpack. But I take the bus to school, and am there for the entire day, so I take the books I am planning on studying during my breaks, as well as my lunch, water bottle, and about 10...

  11. Anybody put their home on line for nursing school

    SurroDoula replied to labchic's topic in General Students

    Depending on how much equity you have in the house, it might be smarter to sell and then buy a cheap condo or something that you can pay for outright. That way you are still maintaining equity, rather...

  12. Just Got Accepted.....Any Advice?

    SurroDoula replied to DoingGodsWork's topic in General Students

    Yes, stay organized and on top of all the readings, do assignments well ahead of time, etc. The people that really struggled in my class were the ones who left everything to the last minute - some...

  13. Doula Training

    SurroDoula replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've been a doula since 2003. After taking the training, I would try asking other doulas in the area if you could work as their backup when you are out of school or on your off days. Also you could...

  14. Rolling backpack?

    SurroDoula replied to newstudent2010's topic in General Students

    No brand suggestions, but just make sure it is nice and big, and has a wide wheel base so that it is more stable when you are rolling it. I love my rolling

  15. Have you already taken the CRNE? HELPPPP! Too much studying?

    SurroDoula replied to LR_C's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I can't really answer your question, since I'm just in my first year, but have you checked out the Canadian forum on this site? If you posted the question there, I'm sure you would get more

  16. Easy and Fast Meals

    SurroDoula replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I'm going to have to try that! A super easy, very tasty idea is to throw some chicken breasts into the crockpot, with about a bottle (or more, if you are making a lot) of BBQ sauce. Once it is cooked,...

  17. What date do you start Nursing school?

    SurroDoula replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    I start on September 7! Another alternative to a flash drive or Google Docs is Dropbox. You can store any kind of file you want in there, and can also share files if you are working on a group...

  18. Anatomy and Physiology...

    SurroDoula replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in General Students

    My school actually separates it into 3 classes: Anatomy, Physiology I, and Physiology II, with Anatomy being a pre- or a co-requisite to Physiology I. I took the first 2 courses together, and will be...

    SurroDoula replied to thleenium's topic in International Nursing

    Well, you know about my experience, similar to yours. I'm also curious about what others are

  20. Continuing with UofA or go to Grant MacEwan?

    SurroDoula replied to AllThingsConsidered's topic in International Nursing

    Well, if your grades aren't high enough for the U of A, they might not be high enough for MacEwan either. If you have completed over 24 credits, then you need a AGPA of 3.0 or higher. Another thing to...

  21. Questions from an LPN applicant, RN hopeful

    SurroDoula replied to seraen's topic in International Nursing

    I can't really add anything to the above post, but I know that MacEwan is full for September and people are being put on a wait list. I've also heard that they dropped from 160 seats to 120 - and the...

  22. Doula and Nursing Student?

    SurroDoula replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    Well, I've been a doula for 7 years, and taking prereq's for the past 2 years. I work with 2 partners and basically only do backup for them when absolutely needed while I am taking classes. It's a job...

  23. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SurroDoula replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My car needed some body work and a new passenger window. We were really lucky that we only clipped his jaw (on the support between the windshield and the passenger window) and what looked like his...

  24. pumping

    SurroDoula replied to curieux's topic in General Students

    I don't really know the answer to your question, but I wanted to give you a tip - make sure you have a good quality double electric pump. I exclusively pumped for a total of 10 months, and if you are...

  25. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SurroDoula replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
