  1. Am I selfish for going back to school?

    AOX4RN replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    Like the proverbial, "I am the only one who...." Anyway, I'm 42 and in my 3rd semester of school. If you're selfish, I suck!! I am married and have four kids who are 10, 12, 14, 16. My being in...

  2. Gifts/cards etc to thank clinical instructor?

    AOX4RN replied to onlyj's topic in General Students

    It's no secret bringing treats to the floor where you did your rotation is schmoozing. Our instructors encourage it also. No harm, IMHO. But for the teacher, a card. It's her job to be your...

  4. Good place to buy white scrub pants?

    AOX4RN replied to momma25's topic in General Students

    I have Dickies flare leg pants from Allheart.com. Try beige colored underwear underneath your whites because white underwear shows

  5. Pregnancy in nursing program

    AOX4RN replied to naomiomio's topic in General Students

    It takes a while to pump enough milk to save for your baby to thrive on when you're away from him/her 3-4 days a week. The longer you are away from your baby the less likely s/he is to nurse directly...

  6. Pregnancy in nursing program

    AOX4RN replied to naomiomio's topic in General Students

    Yes, lots of people have done it. Anyone can get to the moon if they set their mind to it. Determination and meeting the goal is the least of your problems. Rest, nutrition, reducing stress,...

  7. Pregnancy in nursing program

    AOX4RN replied to naomiomio's topic in General Students

    You're not going to be "working" though... you're going to school. Learning. Practicing. Testing. Being successful. Graduating. All with a pregnancy and newborn. Then you're working with a...

  8. psych help!!!

    AOX4RN replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    Fake it 'til you make it. Do anything but present your vibe as terrified. The personality types that thrive on manipulation will make a beeline for you. Act confident, communicate with the staff...

  9. What would you do?

    AOX4RN replied to RN_wannab's topic in General Students

    Eh, worry about yourself. If there is one thing I've learned in 3 semesters, is worry about yourself and not what your classmates are doing. They will call attention to themselves in due

  10. How long does it take you to do a head to toe assessment?

  11. questions about DM and care plan

    AOX4RN replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    Okay it makes sense. The reason I asked is because you'll learn the instructors get bored of reading "Knowledge Deficit", "Fear", and "Anxiety" psychosocial NANDAs. But clearly you have data to...

  12. questions about DM and care plan

    AOX4RN replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

  14. Cerritos College Fall 2011

    AOX4RN replied to futurenurse310's topic in California Nursing

    They got close to 400 applications this last period... I'll cross my fingers that my good luck for one application to hit the lottery is what happens for you. I applied once there and got in. That...

  15. A day in the life of a nursing student

    AOX4RN replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's that hard either. Pay attention, pass your tests, do what you're told and then learn how to do it without being told. Pretty straightforward. Then again, I'm a "mature" student....

    AOX4RN replied to Jackie Ojeda's topic in California Nursing

    i've heard better things about GWC than LBCC. wish i'd made it through GWC's lottery because it's where i did a lot of my pre- and co-requisites, and it's close to home. i ended up at cerritos and...

  20. Why do newborns have more RBCs, HGB, and HCT?

    AOX4RN replied to Miley22's topic in General Students

    I don't understand how the position of the baby comes into play... are the vessels wide open and allowing blood to drain out of the placenta to flow into the

  21. Psych rotation coming up.. not excited about it, should I be?

    AOX4RN replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    AOX4RN replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students
