   brittney140 replied to JStyles1's topic in General Students

   I chose a 2 -year program because it's the only nursing program near my home. All the hours are 2+ hours away. Also, they say the one I go to is one of the best ADN programs on the east coast. I'm not trying to brag, but that was just one of the reas...

   Wow, we are extremely similar! I have to set three different alarms on my phone so I make sure that I get up on time. I also have to check them three times each every night before I go to bed to make sure I didn't put it in as p.m. instead of a.m. I'...

9. Does anybody here have OCD?

   brittney140 replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

   I have the same problem with intrusive thoughts! These things pop into my head and sometimes I can't believe I'm thinking about it and I have to realize it's the OCD. That's a good idea about saying things out loud. I can't get it in my mind that som...

10. Does anybody here have OCD?

    brittney140 replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    I do understand where you're coming from, but it gets annoying when all I can think about is whether or not I gave the right med and keep questioning myself, even after I've checked the MAR 11+ times. I definitely can't do that forever.

11. Does anybody here have OCD?

    brittney140 posted a topic in General Students

    I know there was already a thread started todayabout it, but it seemed to be going off the ADD direction so I was just wondering if anyone here has OCD in nursing school? I do, and it's becoming really hard for me. I have to check the MAR at least 11...

15. What makes nursing school so difficult?

    brittney140 replied to GaMBA's topic in General Students

    I may be a rare one (and I'll be knocking on wood), but I don't think that nursing school is as hard as I thought it was going to be. I study maybe an average of 5-6 hours a week. I actually do have a lot of free time. I study the night before a test...
