  1. Are PDA's Really Necessary?

    whiteoleander5 posted a topic in General Students

    Although they arent required at my school (Thank GOD, because everything else is expensive enough as it is!), I was wondering what everyone thinks of them. It seems that everyone I talk to in school...

  2. Anyone else experiencing burnout??

    whiteoleander5 replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I can relate to all of you. I am staring at my planner, thinking about all the tests/skills checkoffs coming up in the next 12 days. And GOD help me because my brain is shutting off. I dont know where...

  3. Do nurses know everything they learned in NS cold turkey?

    whiteoleander5 posted a topic in General Students

    I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person but certainly no master mind. I was just curious for anyone who has already graduated RN school & has a job-- Do you ever have to go back &...

  4. Terrible test anxiety!

    whiteoleander5 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Wow, thanks! I am on zoloft 50mg/day right now, quite possibly may go up to 75/mg (Im still experimenting with therapeutic dosages...). But I dont think I will, because although that relieves my...

  5. Do you have family issues in the nursing program?

    whiteoleander5 replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

    For the most part, I am understood by family and friends. My boyfriend understands most of the time, but not always. He is in college right now to be a phys ed teacher--- It always makes me cringe...

  6. So you all hate nursing?.....

    whiteoleander5 replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Don't be discouraged from the things you read on here. I know all about how that feels since I am only in my first semester of a nursing program, and have come across many threads where nurses are...

  7. what will you be doing over the break?

    whiteoleander5 replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I didnt think I would be doing anything exciting, but last night my friend and I realized we NEEDED to do something nonschool related to maintain our sanity, even though we have so much to do for...

  8. Happy Thanksgiving!

    whiteoleander5 replied to june2009's topic in General Students

    Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone else reading this as well. The homemade cranberry sauce and cranberry tea that my mom makes is my favorite part. Ironically, you can still tell...

  9. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    whiteoleander5 replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    I have to agree about the highschool thing!.... Having a rolly backpack was the equivalent of being in a circus. Now, I see other nursing students with them, and I think "Hm, I wonder where I can get...

  10. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    whiteoleander5 replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    When you get excited about family gatherings. Not so you can see the family, or even so you can take a break from studying, but because you can bring your stethescope and IPPA all night with anyone...

  11. I should be studying right now...

    whiteoleander5 replied to XYnurse2B's topic in General Students

    Gosh, Im so glad Im not the only one who finds myself saying this! Ironically, on my lap right now is my health assessment textbook, opened up and waiting to be read... Where its been for the past 15...

  12. Cranial nerve mnemonics

    whiteoleander5 replied to RNsweetie's topic in General Students

    i just wrote this down next to my labeled diagram of cranial

  13. 100% dosage calculations?

    whiteoleander5 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    We need an 80% (2 wrong), so if we get below that, we have to retake it and get a 90% or better. And if that doesnt happen, then... adios.

  14. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    whiteoleander5 replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    It doesnt matter how old you are as long as you want to do it. I know a woman who is 60ish in my program & I think its amazing. This is coming from a 20 y.o. student. A lot of older students will...

  15. Started Nursing and went MIA

    whiteoleander5 replied to JenDoll's topic in General Students

    It sucks doesn't it? I am in the same boat as you (..and, the same age!), except I started in September and not January. So I have another two years of being MIA. My friends (who are all in college...

  16. Anatomy?

    whiteoleander5 replied to RedEyeBrat's topic in General Students

    I actually feel like I am retaining more of anatomy & physiology in nursing school than I did in my actual A&P class. I dont know if its just because hearing the A&P now is review, and its...

  17. Do nurses know everything they learned in NS cold turkey?

    whiteoleander5 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Normally, I give up when I am stressed also. I feel like certain things in life are more challenging for me than others just because I am a nervous, paranoid, unassertive & shy person. I can...

  18. MicroBiology

    whiteoleander5 replied to NewmanFamily6's topic in General Students

    I finished microbiology before I started the nursing program even though its not a prereq (only a coreq) at my school. That was probably the best decision I have made because I've heard horror stories...

  19. Do nurses know everything they learned in NS cold turkey?

    whiteoleander5 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Wow, thank you so much. That makes me feel a lot better...!

  20. no longer nursing student

    whiteoleander5 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    You are brave, don't be hard on yourself. You understand your limits and thats a good thing. If I had a 5 yr old, I would surely want to spend as much time as possible with them. Go back to school...

    whiteoleander5 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

  22. my heart is breaking

    whiteoleander5 replied to raygun354's topic in General Students

    I understand where you're coming from. I had to pay $100 for my seat that I worked hard for, how does that make sense?... Still though, I cant BELIEVE your fee is $500! And I thought mine was...

  23. I'd just like to remind some of y'all...

    whiteoleander5 replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

  24. A bedbath NIGHTMARE!

    whiteoleander5 replied to IJustWant2pass's topic in General Students

    I heard some people carry vix with them and put some under their nose before they approach a "messy" situation. I have cherry chapstick that I always carry with me, and one day I was so desperate that...

  25. Do you Work?? If so, where, what hours, and pay?

    whiteoleander5 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I am almost done with my first semester, and I work 10 hours a week at a store (I'm being discrete just in case I could be identified ) making about 10 dollars an hour. I make less than 100 bucks a...
